All Parent SEC Reports, Additional Parent SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC (other than such correspondence in connection with the initial public offering of Parent) and all certifications and statements required by: (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Certifications”) are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) in full without redaction. Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are currently in effect. The Parent SEC Reports were, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will be, prepared in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Parent SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct in all material respects. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 4.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or NASDAQ.

(b) The financial statements and notes of Parent contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports fairly present, and the financial statements and notes of Parent to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Parent SEC Reports will fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to in, such financial statements, all in accordance with: (i) U.S. GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by U.S. GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

4.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, since September 30, 2020, there has not been: (a) any Parent Material Adverse Effect; (b) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend on, or other distribution in respect of, any of Parent’s capital stock, or any purchase, redemption or other acquisition by Parent of any of Parent’s capital stock or any other securities of Parent or any options, warrants, calls or rights to acquire any such shares or other securities; (c) any split, combination or reclassification of any of Parent’s capital stock; (d) any material change by Parent in its accounting methods, principles or practices, except as required by concurrent changes in U.S. GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) or Legal Requirements; (e) any change in the auditors of Parent; (f) any issuance of capital stock of Parent; (g) any revaluation by Parent of any of its assets, including, without limitation, any sale of assets of Parent other than in the ordinary course of business; or (h) any action taken or agreed upon by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would be prohibited by Section 5.2 if such action were taken on or after the date hereof without the consent of Professionals GP.

4.9 Litigation. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against or otherwise relating to Parent before any Governmental Entity: (a) challenging or seeking to enjoining, alter or materially delay the Transactions; or (b) that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent.

4.10 Business Activities. Since its date of incorporation, Parent has not conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; (b) in connection with its initial public offering; and (c) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent or to which it is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing).

4.11 Parent Material Contracts. Schedule 4.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K) to which Parent is party (the “Parent Material Contracts”), other than any such Parent Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to Parent’s periodic reports available on EDGAR.

4.12 Parent Listing. The Parent Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “FTIVU”. As of the date of this Agreement, the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “FTIV”. The Parent Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “FTIVW”. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by NASDAQ or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants or to terminate the listing of Parent on NASDAQ. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.

4.13 PIPE Investment Amount. Pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of, certain subscription agreements (together with any agreements or instruments with respect to any assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby, and as they may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into by Parent and the applicable investors named therein (collectively, with any permitted assignees or transferees, the “PIPE Investors”), the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase shares of Parent Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). To Parent’s Knowledge with respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent, except in each case for such assignments of subscription obligations contemplated by or permitted by the Subscription Agreements. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Parent’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Other than as contemplated by or referred to in the Subscription Agreements, there are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

(a) As of November 30, 2020, Parent had $230,003,907.24 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of September 24, 2020, by and between Parent and Transfer Agent, for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of Parent under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, its Affiliates’ or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Transfer Agent, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder, and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Transfer Agent. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Parent and the Transfer Agent that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of Parent, that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding Parent Class A Common Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents or the underwriters of the initial public offering with respect to any deferred underwriting compensation) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem Parent Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Organizational Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account.

(a) All material Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of Parent have been duly and timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Entity (taking into account any applicable extensions) and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. All material amounts of Taxes payable by or on behalf of each Parent (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been fully and timely paid (taking into account any applicable extensions), except with respect to Taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate Legal Proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Parent has complied in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements relating to the withholding and remittance of all material amounts of Taxes and withheld and paid all material amounts of Taxes required to have been withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

(c) No claim, assessment, deficiency or proposed adjustment for any material amount of Tax has been asserted or assessed by any Governmental Entity in writing against the Parent which has not been paid or resolved.

(d) No material Tax audit or other examination of Parent by any Governmental Entity is presently in progress, nor has Parent been notified in writing of any (nor to Parent’s Knowledge is there any) request or threat for such an audit or other examination.

(e) There are no liens for Taxes (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of Parent’s assets.

(f) Parent (i) does not have any liability for the Taxes of another Person pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements) or as a transferee or a successor or by Contract (other than pursuant to commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes); (ii) is not a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement (excluding commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes) pursuant to which Parent will have any obligation to make payments for Taxes after the Closing Date; or (iii) has not, since the Reference Date, ever been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group filing for U.S. federal, state or local income Tax purposes.

(g) Parent: (i) has not consented to extend the time in which any Tax may be assessed or collected by any Governmental Entity (other than ordinary course extensions of time to file Tax Returns), which extension is still in effect; or (ii) has not entered into or been a party to any “listed transaction” within the meaning of Section 6707A(c)(2) of the Code for a taxable period for which the applicable statute of limitations remains open.

(h) Parent does not have and has never had any subsidiaries that are regarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(i) Parent has never constituted either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) in a distribution of stock intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code in the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement.

(j) Parent will not be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item or deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or, in the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date, as a result of: (i) an installment sale or open transaction disposition that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) any change in method of accounting on or prior to the Closing Date, including by reason of the application of Section 481 of the Code (or any analogous provision of any state, local or foreign Legal Requirements); (iii) any prepaid amount received or deferred revenue recognized on or prior to the Closing Date, other than in respect of such amounts reflected in the balance sheets included in the Financial Statements, or received in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements; (iv) to Parent’s Knowledge, any intercompany transaction described in Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Legal Requirements); (v) any closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements executed on or prior to the Closing Date; or (vi) an election under Section 108(i) of the Code.

(l) Since the Reference Date, no claim has been made in writing by any Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction in which Parent does not file Tax Returns that Parent is or may be subject to Tax by, or required to file Tax Returns in, that jurisdiction.

4.16 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date mailed to stockholders of Parent or at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation, warranty or covenant with respect to: (a) statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by Professionals, Professionals GP or the Group Companies for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement; or (b) any projections or forecasts included in the Proxy Statement.

4.17 Employees; Benefit Plans. Other than any former officers or as described in the Parent SEC Reports, Parent has never had any employees. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent’s officers and directors in connection with activities on Parent’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by Parent outside of the Trust Account, Parent has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any employee. Parent does not currently maintain or have any direct liability under any benefit plan, and neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions will: (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of Parent; or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

4.18 Board Approval; Stockholder Vote.

Other than the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to approve the consummation of the Transactions.

4.19 Title to Assets. Subject to the restrictions on use of the Trust Account set forth in the Trust Agreement, Parent owns good and marketable title to, or holds a valid leasehold interest in, or a valid license to use, all of the assets used by Parent in the operation of its business and that are material to Parent, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

4.20 Affiliate Transactions. Except as described in the Parent SEC Reports, no Contract between Parent, on the one hand, and any of the present or former directors, officers, employees, stockholders or warrant holders or Affiliates of Parent (or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing), on the other hand, will continue in effect following the Closing, other than any such Contract that is not material to Parent.

4.21 Investment. Parent is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Parent Subscribed Units to be acquired by Parent pursuant to this Agreement and the Transactions will be acquired for investment for Parent’s own account and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and Parent has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. At no time was Parent presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Parent Subscribed Units. Parent has received or has had full access to all the information Parent considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Parent Subscribed Units. Parent represents that it has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence and has independently made its own analysis and decision with respect to the Parent Subscribed Units. Parent further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Parent Subscribed Units, and to obtain additional information necessary to verify any information furnished to Parent or to which Parent had access. Parent is fully aware of: (a) the highly speculative nature of the Parent Subscribed Units; and (b) the financial risks involved. Parent has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Parent is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this prospective investment, has the capacity to protect Parent’s own interest in connection with this transaction and is financially capable of bearing a total loss of the Parent Subscribed Units. Parent understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Parent Subscribed Units or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment. Parent understands and acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by Parent herein, the Parent Subscribed Units are not being registered with the SEC under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, but instead are being transferred under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws which impose certain restrictions on Parent’s ability to transfer the Parent Subscribed Units. Parent acknowledges that, because the Parent Subscribed Units have not been registered under the Securities Act, such shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Parent is aware of the restrictions on the use of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

4.22 Brokers. Other than fees or commissions included in the Estimated Transaction Costs, Parent has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or investment bank with respect to the Transactions.

Without the prior written consent of Professionals GP (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent Stockholder Matters shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Parent shall propose to be acted on by the Parent’s stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent shall file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent, as promptly as practicable following the earlier to occur of: (Y) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; and (Z) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC (such earlier date, the “Proxy Clearance Date”).

(ii) Prior to filing with the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of the Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with the SEC that relate to the Transactions, both preliminary and final, and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or such other document and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts and shall consider such comments in good faith. Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice thereof, of: (A) the time when the Proxy Statement has been filed; (B) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; (C) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC; (D) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; (E) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC; (F) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement; (G) any comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and responses thereto; and (H) requests by the SEC for additional information relating to the Proxy Statement.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the Special Meeting, there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its business or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance.

(iv) Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable “blue sky” laws, and any rules and regulations thereunder. The Company agrees to promptly provide Parent with all information concerning the business, management, operations and financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel, auditors and other advisors in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC.

(b) Until such time as the Closing shall have occurred, the Company shall deliver to Parent (together, the “Required Financial Information”): (i) monthly management reports (non-GAAP) of the Company within thirty (30) days following each month-end, in form and substance as historically provided to management; (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020, and the audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in partners’ capital and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, together with the auditor’s report thereon and the related pro forma financial information, each in form and substance as necessary to comply with applicable disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC were Parent filing (x) a general form for registration of securities under Form 10 following the consummation of the Transactions and (y) a registration statement on Form S-1 for the resale of the securities issued in the PIPE Investment following the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) no later than the fiftieth (50th) day following each calendar quarter that occurs after December 31, 2020 and at least sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, the unaudited, auditor-reviewed (except for quarters ended December 31), consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such quarter-end, except for quarters ended December 31, and consolidated statements of earnings (loss), comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter then ended, each in form and substance as necessary to comply with applicable disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC were Parent filing (x) a general form for registration of securities under Form 10 following the consummation of the Transactions and (y) a registration statement on Form S-1 for the resale of the securities issued in the PIPE Investment following the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the Proxy Clearance Date, establish a record date (which date shall be mutually agreed with Professionals GP) for, duly call and give notice of, the Special Meeting. Parent shall convene and hold a meeting of Parent’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, which meeting shall be held not more than forty-five (45) days after the date on which Parent mails the Proxy Statement to its stockholders. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Special Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with Legal Requirements for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. Subject to the proviso in the immediately following sentence, Parent shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of Parent shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to Parent’s stockholders under Legal Requirements. Parent agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and Parent agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 6.1(c), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall only be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting (subject to providing prior notice to Professionals GP in connection with any such postponement or adjournment): (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the board of directors of Parent has determined in good faith is required by Legal Requirements is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Parent’s stockholders prior to the Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Class A Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; (iii) to seek withdrawals of redemption requests from Parent’s stockholders if Parent reasonably expects the Parent Stockholder Redemption Payments would cause the condition in Section 7.2(k) or Section 7.3(h) to not be satisfied at the Closing; or (iv) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

6.2 Certain Regulatory Matters. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall make any required filings under applicable Antitrust Laws.

Each Party will promptly furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the applicable Antitrust Laws and will take all other actions necessary or desirable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods as soon as practicable.

Parent shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of any filing fees required by Governmental Entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including filing fees in connection with filings under applicable Antitrust Laws.

Following Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Beginning on the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of this Agreement, each Party agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other Parties, and to use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the Transactions.

Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that Professionals GP shall be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the Subscription Agreements to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Subscription Agreements as if it were a party thereto.

In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Exchanging LP would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay to the Exchanging LP cash equal to the Value of the fractional shares of Class A Common Stock. The following terms shall have the following meanings:

(iv) Such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as may from time to time be required for exchange pursuant to the terms of Clause 3(e)(ii) of this Article FOURTH shall be reserved for issuance upon exchange of outstanding Exchangeable Units.

(i) Without limiting any holder’s ability to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Units in compliance with Clause 3(e) of this Article FOURTH, no holder of Class B Common Stock shall be permitted to consummate a sale, pledge, conveyance, hypothecation, assignment or other transfer (“Transfer”) of Class B Common Stock other than as part of a concurrent Transfer of an equal number of Exchangeable Units made to the same transferee in compliance with the restrictions on transfer contained in the OP LP Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, whether pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (as defined therein) or with the consent of the general partner of the OP). Any purported Transfer of Class B Common Stock not in accordance with the terms of this Clause 3(f) of this Article FOURTH shall be void ab initio.

(ii) Without limiting the restrictions on transfer contained in Clause 3(f)(i) of this Article FOURTH, in the event of any Transfer of shares of Class B-1 Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Clause 3(f)(i) of this Article FOURTH to any individual or legal entity who is not, at the time of such Transfer, a director, officer, employee, consultant or independent contractor of, or otherwise providing services to, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, such shares of Class B-1 Common Stock shall be automatically, without further action by such holder, converted into a fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class B-2 Common Stock.

(iii) The Corporation may, as a condition to the Transfer or the registration of Transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock, require the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems necessary to establish whether such transfer would result in an automatic conversion pursuant to the terms of Clause 3(f)(i) of this Article FOURTH.

(g) No Preemptive or Subscription Rights. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights.

(a) The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for the issuance of all or any shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, and to fix for each such class or series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such distinctive designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such class or series and as may be permitted by the DGCL, including, without limitation, the authority to provide that any such class or series may be (i) subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices; (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or any other series; (iii) entitled to such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation; or (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock, of the Corporation at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments; all as may be stated in such resolution or resolutions.

(b) Except as otherwise required in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, holders of a series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to such series).

(5) In the event of any split or reverse split of any of the Relevant Securities (as defined below), or a distribution of any Relevant Securities to the holders of such Relevant Securities, unless a similar transaction is effected with respect to the other types of Relevant Securities, references herein to a number of shares or units of any type of Relevant Securities, or a ratio of one type of Relevant Securities to another, shall be deemed adjusted as appropriate to reflect such split, reverse split or distribution. For example, if there is a one-for-two reverse split of Exchangeable Units, but no similar reverse split of shares of Class B-1 Common Stock, and an Exchanging LP subsequently tenders Exchangeable Units for redemption pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Exchange Option, then the number of such Exchanging LP’s shares of Class B-1 Common Stock that will be automatically converted to shares of Class A Common Stock will be equal to twice the number of Exchangeable Units tendered for redemption. “Relevant Securities” means Class A Common Stock, Class B-1 Common Stock, Class B-2 Common Stock and Exchangeable Units.

Fifth: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

(1) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

(3) The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) members, the exact number of which shall initially be nine (9) and subsequently shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-Laws so provide.

(4) The directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The initial division of the Board of Directors into classes shall be made by the decision of the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The term of the initial Class I directors assigned at the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; the term of the initial Class II directors assigned at the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the second annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; and the term of the initial Class III directors assigned at the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or, in each case, upon such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the directors of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(5) A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any director may resign at any time in accordance with the By-Laws.

(6) Subject to the terms of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto.

(7) Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any or all of the directors of the Corporation may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation; provided that at any time the Class B Condition is satisfied, any or all of the directors of the Corporation may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation. The vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors caused by any such removal shall be filled as provided in Clause (5) of this Article FIFTH.

(8) No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that to the extent required by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL or any successor statute, or any other laws of the State of Delaware, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Clause (4) of Article FIFTH shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability or any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(9) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any By-Laws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors that would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

Sixth: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the By-Laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the DGCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the By-Laws.

Seventh: Unless otherwise required by law, Special Meetings of Stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called (i) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if there be one, (ii) by the Chief Executive Officer, President or Co-President of the Corporation at the request in writing of (a) directors constituting a majority of the voting power of the entire Board of Directors or (b) a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority include the power to call such meetings, or (iii) until such time as the Class B Condition ceases to be satisfied, by stockholders collectively holding a majority of the voting power of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation. If at any time the Class B Condition shall not be satisfied, then the ability of the stockholders to call a Special Meeting of Stockholders is hereby specifically denied.

Eighth: Until such time as the Class B Condition ceases to be satisfied, any action required or permitted to be taken at any Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and the Corporation’s By-Laws. If at any time the Class B Condition shall not be satisfied, then any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called Annual or Special Meeting of the Corporation, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is hereby specifically denied.

Ninth: The Corporation shall not be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Tenth: The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article TENTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer receiving advancement to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article TENTH.

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article TENTH to directors and officers of the Corporation.

The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article TENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Any repeal or modification of this Article TENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(1) Subject to Clause (2) of this Article ELEVENTH, the By-Laws may be amended, altered, changed or repealed, in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted either (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, or (ii) without the approval of the Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 ⅔%) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation; provided that at any time the Class B Condition is satisfied, the By-Laws also may be amended, altered, changed or repealed, in whole or in part, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation; provided further, however, that in any case, notice of such amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of new By-Laws be contained in the notice of such meeting (if there is one) of the stockholders or Board of Directors, as the case may be.

(2) Notwithstanding Clause (1) of this Article ELEVENTH, or any other provision of the By-Laws (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law), (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal, in whole or in part, of Section 2.3 (Special Meetings), Section 2.9 (Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting), Section 3.1 (Number and Election of Directors), Section 3.2 (Vacancies), Section 3.3 (Duties and Powers), Section 3.6 (Resignations and Removals of Directors) or Article IX of the By-Laws (collectively, the “Specified By-Laws”) as in effect immediately following the Business Combination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would include the adoption of any provision as part of the By-Laws that is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Specified By-Laws), shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation, and (ii) the ability of the Board of Directors to amend, alter or repeal the Specified By-Laws is specifically denied; provided that at any time that the Class B Condition is satisfied, the Specified By-Laws may be amended, altered or repealed, in whole or in part, by (x) the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors or (y) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation.

Twelfth: Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article TWELFTH.

(1) Certain Acknowledgments. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, consultants, independent contractors and/or other service providers of Professionals or any of its subsidiaries, Perella Weinberg Partners LLC or any of its subsidiaries, FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC, FinTech Masala Advisors, LLC or any of their respective affiliates (excluding the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Ownership Group”), may serve as directors and/or officers of the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries and (ii) the Ownership Group and their respective affiliates may engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article THIRTEENTH are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve the Ownership Group and their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, consultants, independent contractors, other service providers and/or affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation, the OP and any of their respective subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors, and stockholders of the Corporation, in connection therewith.

(2) Competition and Corporate Opportunities. The Ownership Group and their respective affiliates shall not have any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries. In the event that the Ownership Group acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for themselves or any of their respective affiliates and the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries, neither the Corporation, the OP nor any of their respective subsidiaries shall have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity, and the Ownership Group shall not have any duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries and may pursue or acquire such corporate opportunity for themselves or direct such corporate opportunity to another person, including one of their affiliates.

(3) Allocation of Corporate Opportunities. In the event that a director or officer of the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries who is also a partner, principal, director, officer, member, manager, employee, consultant, independent contractor and/or other service provider of any of the Ownership Group acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries and the Ownership Group or their affiliates, neither the Corporation, the OP nor any of their respective subsidiaries shall have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity unless such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation in which case such opportunity shall belong to the Corporation.

(4) Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article THIRTEENTH, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation, the OP or any of their respective subsidiaries’ business or is of no practical advantage to it or is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

(5) Deemed Notice. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article THIRTEENTH.

(6) Subsequent Amendment. Neither the alteration, amendment, termination, expiration or repeal of this Article THIRTEENTH nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) inconsistent with this Article THIRTEENTH shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article THIRTEENTH in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article THIRTEENTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, termination, expiration, repeal or adoption.

Fourteenth: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the combined voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Articles FIFTH, EIGHTH, TENTH, THIRTEENTH or FOURTEENTH of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Fifteenth: If any provision in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is determined to be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall continue to be valid and enforceable and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 1.1 Registered Office. The registered office of the Corporation shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.

Section 1.2 Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine.

Section 2.1 Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of the stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in the manner authorized by Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

Section 2.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.3 Special Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called (i) by the Chairman of the Board, if there be one, (ii) by the Chief Executive Officer, President or Co-President at the request in writing of (a) directors constituting a majority of the entire Board of Directors, (b) a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority include the power to call such meetings or (c) until such time as the Class B Condition ceases to be satisfied, by stockholders collectively holding a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). For purposes of these By-Laws, “Class B Condition” shall mean for so long as Professionals or its limited partners as of [●], 2021 that sign a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of [●], 2021, by and between the Corporation and Professionals, or its or their respective successors or assigns maintains, directly or indirectly, ownership of the OP Class A Common Units that represent at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock (calculated, without duplication, on the basis that all the issued and outstanding OP Class A Common Units not held by the Corporation or its subsidiaries had been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock). The following terms shall have the following meanings:

(b) “OP Class A Common Unit” means each limited partnership unit of the OP designated as a “Partnership Class A Common Unit” in the limited partnership agreement of the OP (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time).

Section 2.4 Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.

Section 2.5 Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. Any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, subject to any rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.13. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4 shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.6 Quorum. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 2.5, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

Section 2.7 Voting. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws or permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Corporation’s shares are listed and traded, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, voting as a single class. Such votes may be cast in person or by proxy as provided in Section 2.8. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders, in such officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

Section 2.8 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

(a) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(b) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission by means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information on which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Section 2.9 Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Until such time as the Class B Condition ceases to be satisfied, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 2.9, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 228 of the DGCL. If at any time the Class B Condition shall not be satisfied, then any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Corporation, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is hereby specifically denied.

Section 2.10 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, (ii) either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held, if any, or (iii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b) Only to the extent that action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 2.12 Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by Section 2.10 or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.

Section 2.13 Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. The chairman of the meeting of the stockholders shall preside over such meeting and shall be any such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairman of the Board, or, in the absence of such person, the Chief Executive Officer, of the Corporation. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (vi) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Section 2.14 Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors, by resolution, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or any President or Co-President shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation.

Section 3.1 Number and Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) members, the exact number of which shall initially be nine (9) and subsequently shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. The directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The initial division of the Board of Directors into classes shall be made by the decision of the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The term of the initial Class I directors assigned at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation; the term of the initial Class II directors assigned at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the second annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation; and the term of the initial Class III directors assigned at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation shall terminate on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation or, in each case, upon such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders held following the time of the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the directors of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Except as provided in Section 3.2, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of stockholders, and a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Directors need not be stockholders.

Section 3.2 Vacancies. Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.

Section 3.3 Duties and Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 3.4 Meetings. The Board of Directors and any committee thereof may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman of the Board”), the Chief Executive Officer or any President or Co-President, or the Board of Directors. Special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors may be called by the chairman of such committee, if there be one, the Chief Executive Officer or any President or Co-President, or any director serving on such committee. Notice of any special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given to each director (or, in the case of a committee, to each member of such committee) either by mail not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting, by telephone or electronic means on twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 3.5 Organization. At each meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, the Chairman of the Board or the chairman of such committee, as the case may be, or, in his or her absence or if there be none, a director chosen by a majority of the directors present, shall act as chairman. Except as provided below, the Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary at each meeting of the Board of Directors and of each committee thereof. In case the Secretary shall be absent from any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof, an Assistant Secretary shall perform the duties of secretary at such meeting; and in the absence from any such meeting of the Secretary and all the Assistant Secretaries, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the members of each committee of the Board of Directors may appoint any person to act as secretary of any meeting of such committee and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation may, but need not if such committee so elects, serve in such capacity.

Section 3.6 Resignations and Removals of Directors. Any director of the Corporation may resign from the Board of Directors or any committee thereof at any time, by giving notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or any President or Co-President or the Secretary of the Corporation and, in the case of a committee, to the chairman of such committee, if there be one. Such resignation shall take effect at the time therein specified or, if no time is specified, immediately; and, unless otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of preferred stock then outstanding, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation; provided that at any time the Class B Condition is satisfied, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of the directors of the Corporation. Any director serving on a committee of the Board of Directors may be removed from such committee at any time by the Board of Directors.

Section 3.7 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Corporation’s securities are listed or quoted for trading, at all meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, a majority of the entire Board of Directors or a majority of the directors constituting such committee, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors or committee members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors or such committee, as applicable. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the adjourned meeting, until a quorum shall be present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

Section 3.8 Actions of the Board by Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 3.9 Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 3.10 Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Each member of a committee must meet the requirements for membership, if any, imposed by applicable law and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of any such committee. Subject to the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading, in the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another qualified member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any absent or disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent permitted by law and provided in the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each committee shall keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article III, the resolution of the Board of Directors establishing any committee of the Board of Directors and/or the charter of any such committee may establish requirements or procedures relating to the governance and/or operation of such committee that are different from, or in addition to, those set forth in these By-Laws and, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between these By-Laws and any such resolution or charter, the terms of such resolution or charter shall be controlling.

Section 3.11 Compensation. The directors shall be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary for service as director, payable in cash or securities, as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Chairpersons or members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for such service.

Section 3.12 Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s vote is counted for such purpose if: (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or uncertificated shares be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

Section 5.4 Transfers. Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and in these By-Laws.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission if consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed to be revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission, as described above, shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network, together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Notice to directors or committee members may be given personally or by means of electronic transmission.

Section 6.2 Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of stockholders or any regular or special meeting of the directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws.

Section 7.1 Dividends. Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the requirements of the DGCL and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors (or any action by written consent in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.8), and may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for purchasing any of the shares of capital stock, warrants, rights, options, bonds, debentures, notes, scrip or other securities or evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for any proper purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

Subject to Section 8.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the OP and PWP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PWP GP”)), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 8.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 8.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the OP and PWP GP), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 8.3 Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by stockholders collectively holding a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 8.4 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 8.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, financial adviser, appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be.

Section 8.5 Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 8.6 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

Section 8.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

Section 8.8 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the OP and PWP GP) against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

Section 8.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the OP and PWP GP), shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article VIII shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the OP and PWP GP) of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VIII.

Section 8.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 8.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 8.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.

Section 8.12 Indemnification of Employees and Agents.

(c) Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of Shares to the Participant, the Shares with respect to such Award (i) if granted pursuant to the General Share Reserve, shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan pursuant to the General Share Reserve and (ii) if granted pursuant to the Transaction Pool Share Reserve, shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, not be available for Awards under the Plan.

(c) The determinations made by the Administrator or the Board, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from those individuals that qualify as Eligible Recipients.

(a) General. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which Award Agreement shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option, and whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or a Nonqualified Stock Option (and in the event the Award Agreement has no such designation, the Option shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option). The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Exercise Price.

(c) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

(d) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of whole Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

(f) ISOs. The terms and conditions of ISOs granted hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the terms, conditions, limitations and administrative procedures established by the Administrator from time to time in accordance with the Plan. At the discretion of the Administrator, ISOs may be granted only to an employee of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary of the Company. All of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof), but not those reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, may be granted as ISOs.

(i) ISO Grants to 10% Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an ISO is granted to a Participant who owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the ISO shall not exceed five (5) years from the time of grant of such ISO and the Exercise Price shall be at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.

(ii) $100,000 Per Year Limitation For ISOs. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date of grant) of the Shares for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess ISOs shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

(iii) Disqualifying Dispositions. Each Participant awarded an ISO under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date the Participant makes a “disqualifying disposition” of any Share acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO. A “disqualifying disposition” is any disposition (including any sale) of such Shares before the later of (i) two years after the date of grant of the ISO and (ii) one year after the date the Participant acquired the Shares by exercising the ISO. The Company may, if determined by the Administrator and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such Shares.

(g) Rights as Stockholder. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or distributions or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has paid in full for such Shares and has satisfied the requirements of Section 17 hereof.

(h) Termination of Employment, Tenure or Service. In the event of the termination of employment, tenure or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Options, such Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement.

(i) Other Change in Employment, Tenure or Service Status. An Option shall be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, including unpaid and un-protected leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status, tenure or service status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator.

(a) General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the Base Price, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Base Price.

(c) Rights as Stockholder. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or distributions or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, if any, subject to a Stock Appreciation Right until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof and has satisfied the requirements of Section 17 hereof.

(2) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Shares and cash).

(1) In the event of the termination of employment, tenure or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement.

(2) In the event of the termination of employment, tenure or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.

(1) The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(2) The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(h) Other Change in Employment, Tenure or Service Status. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, including unpaid and un-protected leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status, tenure or service status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator.

(a) General. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be issued under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units; the period of time prior to which Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units become vested and free of restrictions on Transfer (the “Restricted Period”); the Performance Goals (if any); and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit the Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(b)(3) hereof, (i) each Participant who is granted an Award of Restricted Stock may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Restricted Stock; and (ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Stock granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock transfer form, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such award. Certificates for shares of unrestricted Common Stock may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Stock.

(2) With respect to an Award of Restricted Stock Units to be settled in Shares, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, stock certificates in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Units may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant, or the Participant’s legal representative, in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award of Restricted Stock Units.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to be settled in Shares (at the expiration of the Restricted Period) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form.

(4) Further, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Restricted Stock Units, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, Shares (either in certificated or uncertificated form) or cash, as applicable, shall promptly be issued to the Participant, unless otherwise deferred in accordance with procedures established by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and such issuance or payment shall in any event be made no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the year of vesting or within such other period as is required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to Section 409A of the Code where applicable, thereafter:

(1) The Award Agreement may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as set forth in the Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain performance related goals, the Participant’s termination of employment, tenure or service with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s Incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 13 hereof.

(2) Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares of Restricted Stock during the Restricted Period, including the right to vote such shares and to receive any dividends declared with respect to such shares; provided, however, that except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, any dividends declared during the Restricted Period with respect to such shares shall only become payable if (and to the extent) the underlying Restricted Shares vest. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Units during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that, subject to Section 409A of the Code, an amount equal to any dividends declared during the Restricted Period with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock covered by Restricted Stock Units may, to the extent set forth in an Award Agreement, be provided to the Participant at the time (and to the extent) that shares of Common Stock in respect of the related Restricted Stock Units are delivered to the Participant.

(d) Termination of Employment, Tenure or Service. The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment, tenure or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(e) Form of Settlement. The Administrator reserves the right in its sole discretion to provide (either at or after the grant thereof) that any Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive the amount of cash per unit that is determined by the Administrator in connection with the Award.

Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including but not limited to dividend equivalents, may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards (other than in connection with Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) under the Plan. Any dividend or dividend equivalent awarded hereunder shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying Awards and, except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, shall only become payable if (and to the extent) the underlying Awards vest. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have sole and complete authority to determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock-Based Awards, or the manner in which such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled (e.g., in shares of Common Stock, cash or other property), or the conditions to the vesting and/or payment or settlement of such Other Stock-Based Awards (which may include, but not be limited to, achievement of performance criteria) and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards.

In the event that the Administrator grants a Stock Bonus, the Shares constituting such Stock Bonus shall, as determined by the Administrator, be evidenced in uncertificated form or by a book entry record or a certificate issued in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is payable.

The Administrator may grant Awards that are payable solely in cash, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and such Cash Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Cash Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon the achievement of Performance Goals.

Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event that (a) a Change in Control occurs and (b) either (x) an outstanding Award is not assumed or substituted in connection therewith or (y) an outstanding Award is assumed or substituted in connection therewith and the Participant’s employment, tenure or service is terminated by the Company, its successor or an Affiliate thereof without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if applicable) on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control, then:

(a) any unvested or unexercisable portion of any Award carrying a right to exercise shall become fully vested and exercisable; and

(b) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to an Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at the greater of target or actual performance levels.

For purposes of this Section 13, an outstanding Award shall be considered to be assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Award remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control except that, if the Award related to Shares, the Award instead confers the right to receive common stock of the acquiring entity (or such other security or entity as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 5 hereof).

The Company reserves the right to require the Participant, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to appoint such Person as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion as the Participant’s proxy with respect to all applicable unvested Awards of which the Participant may be the record holder of from time to time to (A) attend all meetings of the holders of the shares of Common Stock, with full power to vote and act for the Participant with respect to such Awards in the same manner and extent that the Participant might were the Participant personally present at such meetings, and (B) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Participant, any written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the shares of Common Stock in the same manner and extent that the Participant might but for the proxy granted pursuant to this sentence.

The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment to the Plan that would require such approval in order to satisfy any rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or other applicable law. The Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 5 hereof and the immediately preceding sentence, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for purposes of applicable taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, an amount in respect of such taxes up to the maximum statutory rates in the Participant’s applicable jurisdiction with respect to the Award, as determined by the Company. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto as determined by the Company. Whenever Shares or property other than cash are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations as determined by the Company; provided, that, with the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold from such delivery Shares or other property, as applicable, or (ii) by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations as determined by the Company. Such already owned and unrestricted shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and any fractional share amounts resulting therefrom shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award as determined by the Company.

Until such time as the Awards are fully vested and/or exercisable in accordance with the Plan or an Award Agreement, no purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any Person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of any shares of Common Stock or other property underlying such Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment, tenure or service with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment, tenure or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.

The Plan was adopted on [●], 2021, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, and became effective on [●], 2021 (the “Effective Date”).²

No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Common Stock with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, the receipt of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator and the listing requirements of any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded. The Administrator may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.

(b) Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines that the listing, registration or qualification of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Common Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.

(c) In the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Common Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Administrator may require a Participant receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such Participant is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution.

If any Participant shall, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days after filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

A Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Administrator and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary.

In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and repayment as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

The Plan as well as payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to be exempt from, or to the extent subject thereto, to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment, tenure or service with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company and its Affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards (or any other amounts payable under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates) are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Code, the settlement and payment of such awards (or other amounts) shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such state.

The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare, or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

Section 1.1 Definitions. The following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement:

“Additional Limited Partner” means a Person who is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner pursuant to the Act and Section 11.2, who is shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership, and who has not ceased to be a Limited Partner pursuant to the Act and this Agreement.

“Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to any Partner, such Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) credit to such Capital Account any amounts that such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement or by operation of law upon liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest or that such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) debit to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account” is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account.

(i) the Special Limited Partner (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares, (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has occurred as of such time) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination;

(ii) the Special Limited Partner distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Class A Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares, or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares (other than Class A Shares issuable pursuant to a Qualified DRIP), at a price per share less than the Value of a Class A Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed Right”), then, as of the distribution date of such Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the record date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the record date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights, multiplied by the minimum purchase price per Class A Share under such Distributed Rights and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a Class A Share as of the record date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the date of distribution (or, if later, the time the Distributed Rights become exercisable) of the Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction; and

(iii) the Special Limited Partner shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Class A Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i) or (ii) above), which evidences of indebtedness or assets relate to assets not received by the Special Limited Partner or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to the close of business as of the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be such Value of a Class A Share on such record date and (b) the denominator of which shall be the Value of a Class A Share as of such record date less the then fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one Class A Share.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be made for any class or series of Partnership Interests to the extent that the Partnership makes or effects any correlative distribution or payment to all of the Partners holding Partnership Interests of such class or series, or effects any correlative split or reverse split in respect of the Partnership Interests of such class or series. Any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. For illustrative purposes, examples of adjustments to the Adjustment Factor are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with such Person.

The General Partner may, but is not required, to take into account (a) any allocation of taxable income, gain, deduction, or loss pursuant to Code section 704(c), (b) any deductions accruing to any Partner as a result of the recovery of a basis adjustment pursuant to Code section 743, or (c) any adjustments pursuant to Code section 734, and may use any good faith assumptions in making any such calculations. In determining the Annual Income Tax Liability for a particular Fiscal Year, the General Partner may, but is not required to, take into account losses allocated after the Effective Date with respect to prior Fiscal Years.

“Assets” means any assets and property of the Partnership, and “Asset” means any one such asset or property.

“Assignee” means a Person to whom a Partnership Interest has been Transferred but who has not become a Substituted Limited Partner, and who has the rights set forth in Section 10.5.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Primary Issuance Shares for a given Primary Issuance Funding are sold in multiple transactions rather than a single transaction or block, “Value” shall be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price per share received by the Special Limited Partner across all sales in respect of such Primary Issuance Funding and otherwise in accordance with this paragraph.

“Withdrawing Partner” has the meaning given to such term in Section 14.2(b)(iii) of this Agreement.

The General Partner shall cause to be maintained in the principal business office of the Partnership, or such other place as may be determined by the General Partner, the books and records of the Partnership, which shall include, among other things, a register containing the name, address, and number and class of Partnership Units of each Partner, and such other information as the General Partner may deem necessary or desirable (the “Register”). The Register shall not be deemed part of this Agreement. The General Partner shall from time to time update the Register as necessary to accurately reflect the information therein, including as a result of any sales, exchanges or other Transfers, or any redemptions, issuances or similar events involving Partnership Units. Any reference in this Agreement to the Register shall be deemed a reference to the Register as in effect from time to time.

Section 3.2 Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests. Subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation:

(a) General. Partnership Interests shall be represented by Partnership Units. Initially, all Partnership Units shall be designated as either “Partnership Class A Common Units,” “Partnership Class B-1 Common Units” or “Partnership Class B-2 Common Units.” As of the Effective Date, all interests in the Company were converted into Partnership Class A Common Units. Partnership Class A Common Units may be held by the General Partner or any Limited Partner; and Partnership Class B-1 Common Units and Partnership Class B-2 Common Units may be held only by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner. Except as expressly provided herein, Partnership Class A Common Units, Partnership Class B-1 Common Units and Partnership Class B-2 Common Units shall entitle the holders thereof to equal rights under this Agreement. The Partners, and the number and class of Partnership Units held by each Partner, as of the effectiveness of this Agreement is set forth in the Register. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units, for any Partnership purpose, at any time or from time to time, to the Partners (including the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner) or to other Persons, and to admit such Persons as Additional Limited Partners, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner, all without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person.

Any additional Partnership Interests may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, rights to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption (including rights that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference over existing Partnership Interests) as shall be determined by the General Partner, without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by this reference (each, a “Partnership Unit Designation”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have authority to specify the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests. Except to the extent specifically set forth in any Partnership Unit Designation, a Partnership Interest of any class or series other than a Partnership Common Unit shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on, or consent to, any matter. Upon the issuance of any additional Partnership Interest, the General Partner shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Partnership as appropriate to reflect such issuance.

(b) Issuances to the General Partner or Special Limited Partner. No additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner unless (i) the additional Partnership Units are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Common Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Partnership Common Units, (ii) (a) the additional Partnership Units are (w) Partnership Class A Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of Class A Shares, (x) Partnership Class B-1 Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of Class B-1 Shares, (y) Partnership Class B-2 Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of Class B-2 Shares or (z) Partnership Equivalent Units (other than Partnership Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance of Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the Special Limited Partner (other than Common Shares), and (b) the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner (as the case may be) contributes to the Partnership the cash proceeds or other consideration received in connection with the issuance of such Common Shares, Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the Special Limited Partner, (iii) the additional Partnership Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt, Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership, (iv) the additional Partnership Units are Partnership Class A Common Units issued to the Special Limited Partner or the General Partner (a) for a cash price per unit determined by the General Partner, in its discretion, which is equal to (x) the Value of a Class A Share as of the date of such issuance, multiplied by the Adjustment Factor, or (y) the fair market value of a Partnership Class A Common Unit as of the date of such issuance, as determined by the General Partner, in its discretion, and (b) no portion of the purchase price consists of proceeds or other consideration received in connection with the issuance of Common Shares, Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the Special Limited Partner, or (v) the additional Partnership Units are issued pursuant to the other provisions of this Article III.

(c) No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Partnership Unit Designation, no Person, including any Holder, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interest.

(a) General. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Assets, for the redemption of Partnership Units or for such other purposes as the General Partner may determine. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 3.3 without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person.

(b) Additional Capital Contributions. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Units (as set forth in Section 3.2 above) in consideration therefor and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units.

(c) Loans by Third Parties. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to any Person (other than, except as contemplated in Section 3.3(d), the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner) upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

(d) General Partner and Special Limited Partner Loans. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt with the General Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner if (i) such Debt is, to the extent permitted by law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as Funding Debt incurred by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Partnership to provide such Additional Funds, or (ii) such Debt is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than would be available to the Partnership from any third party; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

(e) Issuance of Securities by the Special Limited Partner. The Special Limited Partner shall not issue any additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities unless the Special Limited Partner contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional New Securities to the Partnership in exchange for (w) in the case of an issuance of Class A Shares, Partnership Class A Common Units, (x) in the case of an issuance of Class B-1 Shares, Partnership Class B-1 Common Units, (y) in the case of an issuance of Class B-2 Shares, Partnership Class B-2 Common Units or (z) in the case of an issuance of Preferred Shares or New Securities, Partnership Equivalent Units; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner may issue Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities (a) pursuant to Section 3.4 or Article XIV, (b) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities (as the case may be), (c) upon a conversion of Class B-1 Shares or Class B-2 Shares, (d) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Preferred Shares, (e) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise of New Securities, or (f) in connection with an acquisition of Partnership Units or a property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Special Limited Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of capital stock of the Special Limited Partner in the De-SPAC Transaction shall not be subject to this Section 3.3(e). In the event of any issuance of additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or New Securities by the Special Limited Partner, and the contribution to the Partnership, by the Special Limited Partner, of the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance, the Partnership shall pay the Special Limited Partner’s expenses associated with such issuance, including any underwriting discounts or commissions. In the event that the Special Limited Partner issues any additional Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities and contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance thereof to the Partnership, the Partnership is authorized to, and shall, issue to the Special Limited Partner (i) a number and type of Partnership Common Units equal to the number and type of Common Shares so issued, divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect, or (ii) a number of Partnership Equivalent Units that correspond to the class or series of Capital Shares or New Securities so issued, in either case, in accordance with this Section 3.3(e) without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.

(a) Stock Options Granted to Persons other than Partnership Employees. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan, an option to purchase Class A Shares granted to a Person other than a Partnership Employee is duly exercised, the following events will be deemed to have occurred:

(i) The Special Limited Partner, shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the exercise price paid to the Special Limited Partner by such exercising party in connection with the exercise of such stock option.

(ii) Notwithstanding the amount of the Capital Contribution actually made pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i), the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution an amount equal to the Value of a Class A Share as of the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Class A Shares then being issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option. In exchange for such Capital Contribution, the Partnership shall issue a number of Partnership Class A Common Units to the Special Limited Partner equal to the quotient of (a) the number of Class A Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option, divided by (b) the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

(b) Stock Options Granted to Partnership Employees. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan, an option to purchase Class A Shares granted to a Partnership Employee is duly exercised, the following events will be deemed to have occurred:

(ii) The Partnership shall sell to the Optionee (or if the Optionee is an employee of a Partnership Subsidiary, the Partnership shall sell to such Partnership Subsidiary, which in turn shall sell to the Optionee), for a cash price per share equal to the Value of a Class A Share at the time of the exercise, the number of Class A Shares equal to (a) the exercise price paid to the Special Limited Partner by the exercising party in connection with the exercise of such stock option divided by (b) the Value of a Class A Share at the time of such exercise.

(iii) The Partnership shall transfer to the Optionee (or if the Optionee is an employee of a Partnership Subsidiary, the Partnership shall transfer to such Partnership Subsidiary, which in turn shall transfer to the Optionee) at no additional cost, as additional compensation, the number of Class A Shares equal to the number of Class A Shares described in Section 3.4(b)(i) less the number of Class A Shares described in Section 3.4(b)(ii).

(iv) The Special Limited Partner shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of an amount equal to all proceeds received (from whatever source, but excluding any payment in respect of payroll taxes or other withholdings) by the Special Limited Partner in connection with the exercise of such stock option. In exchange for such Capital Contribution, the Partnership shall issue a number of Partnership Class A Common Units to the Special Limited Partner equal to the quotient of (a) the number of Class A Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option, divided by (b) the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

(c) Other Class A Shares Issued to Partnership Employees Under Equity Plans. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan (other than in respect of the exercise of a stock option), any Class A Shares are issued to a Partnership Employee (including any Class A Shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event specified vesting conditions are not achieved and any Class A Shares issued in settlement of a restricted stock unit or similar award) in consideration for services performed for the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary:

(ii) The following events will be deemed to have occurred: (a) the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have sold such shares to the Partnership (or if the Partnership Employee is an employee or other service provider of a Partnership Subsidiary, to such Partnership Subsidiary) for a purchase price equal to the Value of such shares, (b) the Partnership (or such Partnership Subsidiary) shall be deemed to have delivered the shares to the Partnership Employee, (c) the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have contributed the purchase price to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution, and (d) in the case where the Partnership Employee is an employee of a Partnership Subsidiary, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed such amount to the capital of the Partnership Subsidiary; and

(iii) The Partnership shall issue to the Special Limited Partner a number of Partnership Class A Common Units equal to the number of newly issued Class A Shares divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect in consideration for a deemed Capital Contribution in an amount equal to (x) the number of newly issued Partnership Class A Common Units, multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the Value of a Class A Share, and the denominator of which is the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

(d) Other Class A Shares Issued to Persons other than Partnership Employees Under Equity Plans. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan (other than in respect of the exercise of a stock option), any Class A Shares are issued to a Person other than a Partnership Employee (including any Class A Shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event specified vesting conditions are not achieved and any Class A Shares issued in settlement of a restricted stock unit or similar award) in consideration for services performed for the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary:

(i) The Special Limited Partner shall issue such number of Class A Shares as are to be issued to such Person in accordance with the Equity Plan; and

(ii) The Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have contributed the Value of such Class A Shares to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution, and the Partnership shall issue to the Special Limited Partner a number of newly issued Partnership Class A Common Units equal to the number of newly issued Class A Shares divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

(e) Future Stock Incentive Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees or directors of or other service providers to the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of the Limited Partners or the Consent of the Partners, to amend this Section 3.4 pursuant to Section 6.1(g)(ix).

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article III, all amounts received by the Special Limited Partner in respect of any stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized by the Special Limited Partner to effect open market purchases of Class A Shares, or (b) if the Special Limited Partner elects instead to issue new Class A Shares with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the Special Limited Partner to the Partnership in exchange for additional Partnership Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Partnership will issue to the Special Limited Partner a number of Partnership Common Units equal to the number of newly issued Class A Shares divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

Section 3.6 No Interest; No Return. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.

(a) Conversion of Preferred Shares. If, at any time, any Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares, in whole or in part, then an equal number of Partnership Equivalent Units held by the Special Limited Partner that correspond to the class or series of Preferred Shares so converted shall automatically be converted or exchanged into a number of Partnership Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of Common Shares issued upon such conversion divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect.

(b) Redemption of Preferred Shares. If, at any time, any Preferred Shares are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Special Limited Partner for cash, then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Preferred Shares, the Partnership shall purchase an equal number of Partnership Equivalent Units held by the Special Limited Partner that correspond to the class or series of Preferred Shares so redeemed, repurchased or acquired upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership Equivalent Unit, as such Preferred Shares are redeemed, repurchased or acquired.

(c) Redemption, Repurchase or Forfeiture of Common Shares. If, at any time, any Common Shares are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, upon forfeiture of any award granted under any Equity Plan, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Special Limited Partner, then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Common Shares, the Partnership may (but shall not be obligated to) redeem a number of Partnership Common Units held by the Special Limited Partner equal to the quotient of (i) the number of Common Shares so redeemed, repurchased or acquired, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, such redemption, repurchase or acquisition to be upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the Adjustment Factor) as such Common Shares are redeemed, repurchased or acquired.

(d) Conversion of Class B Shares. If, at any time, any Class B-1 Shares are converted into Class A Shares, in whole or in part, then an equal number of the then outstanding Partnership Class B-1 Common Units, or fractions thereof, shall automatically be converted into a number of Partnership Class A Common Units equal to the number of Class A Shares issued upon such conversion. If, at any time, any Class B-2 Shares are converted into Class A Shares, in whole or in part, then an equal number of the then outstanding Partnership Class B-2 Common Units, or fractions thereof, shall automatically be converted into a number of Partnership Class A Common Units equal to the number of Class A Shares issued upon such conversion.

Section 3.8 Other Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash and such Partner had contributed the cash to the capital of the Partnership in accordance with the principles promulgated in proposed Regulations section 1.704-1. In addition, with the consent of the General Partner, one or more Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.

Section 4.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation that provides for a class or series of Partnership Preferred Units with a preference with respect to the payment of distributions and except as provided in Section 6.1(g)(xi), from time to time, as determined by the General Partner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to pay distributions, in such amounts as the General Partner may determine, to the Holders of Partnership Common Units pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests of Partnership Common Units on the applicable Partnership Record Date. Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units that were not outstanding during the entire period in respect of which any distribution is made (other than any Partnership Units issued to the Special Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of Common Shares or Capital Shares by the Special Limited Partner) shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding.

Section 4.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall use best efforts to make distributions to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests of Partnership Common Units on the applicable Partnership Record Date, of an aggregate amount in cash sufficient to allow each Partner to pay its Annual Income Tax Liability with respect to the calendar year. All distributions made to Partners pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated as advance distributions and shall be taken into account in determining the amount subsequently distributed to Partners under Section 4.1. The amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be calculated and distributed at the following times: (i) quarterly, on an estimated basis, with respect to the portion of the Fiscal Year through the end of such quarterly period, at least five (5) days prior to the date on which U.S. federal corporate estimated tax payments are due and (ii) with respect to each Fiscal Year, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such Fiscal Year (or as soon as reasonably practicable after any event that subsequently adjusts the taxable income of such Fiscal Year).

Section 4.3 Distributions in Kind. No Holder may demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make a distribution in kind of Partnership Assets or Partnership Interests to the Holders, and except as provided in Section 6.1(g)(xi), such assets or Partnership Interests shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive) is distributed and allocated in accordance with Article IV, Article V and Article IX.

Section 4.4 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 9.4 with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 4.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Distributions upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 12.3.

Section 4.6 Revisions to Reflect Additional Partnership Units. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of Article III, subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article IV and to Article V as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of Partnership Units.

Section 4.7 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Section 4.8 Calculation of Distributions. In calculating all distributions payable to any holders of Partnership Units, the General Partner shall round the amount per unit to the nearest whole cent ($0.01), with one-half cent rounded upward.

Section 5.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Subject to Section 10.6(c), Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end of each such year. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, and subject to Section 10.6(c), an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

Section 5.2 General Allocations. Subject to Section 10.6(c), Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated to each of the Holders as follows:

(a) Net Income will be allocated to Holders of Partnership Preferred Units in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Partnership Unit Designation applicable to such Partnership Preferred Units;

(b) remaining Net Income will be allocated to the Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests at the end of each Fiscal Year; and

(c) subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, Net Loss will be allocated to the Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests at the end of each Fiscal Year.

Section 5.3 Additional Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V:

(a) Special Allocations Regarding Partnership Preferred Units. If any Partnership Preferred Units are redeemed pursuant to Section 3.7(b) (treating a full liquidation of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest or of such Special Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest for purposes of this Section 5.3(a) as including a redemption of any then outstanding Partnership Preferred Units pursuant to Section 3.7(b)), for the Fiscal Year that includes such redemption (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) (a) gross income and gain (in such relative proportions as the General Partner shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Partnership Preferred Units to the extent that the redemption amounts paid or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceeds the aggregate Capital Account balances (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) and (b) deductions and losses (in such relative proportions as the General Partner shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Partnership Preferred Units to the extent that the aggregate Capital Account balances (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceeds the redemption amount paid or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed).

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, or any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 5.3(b)(i), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s respective share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt. A Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4); provided that a Holder shall not be subject to this provision to the extent that an exception is provided by Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) and any IRS revenue rulings, revenue procedures, or notices issued with respect thereto. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3(b)(ii) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i).

(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(b)(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(b)(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 5.3(b)(iv) comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership upon complete liquidation of such Holder’s Partnership Interest (including, the Holder’s interest in outstanding Partnership Preferred Units and other Partnership Units) and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations sections 1.704-2 (g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(b)(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(b)(v) and Section 5.3(b)(iv) were not in the Agreement.

(vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss) would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss) shall be reallocated (x) first, among the other Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, and (y) thereafter, among the Holders of other Partnership Units, as determined by the General Partner, subject to the limitations of this Section 5.3(b)(vi).

(vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code section 734(b) or Code section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2) (iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder of Partnership Common Units in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 5.3(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders of Partnership Common Units so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder of a Partnership Common Unit shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(c) Special Allocations Upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Article V to the contrary, in the event that the Partnership disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction that will lead to a liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article XII, then any Net Income or Net Loss realized in connection with such transaction and thereafter (and, if necessary, constituent items of income, gain, loss and deduction) shall be specially allocated for such Fiscal Year or a later Fiscal Year (and to the extent permitted by Code section 761(c), for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year) among the Holders as required so as to cause liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.3(a)(iii) to be made in the same amounts and proportions as would have resulted had such distributions instead been made pursuant to Article IV.

(d) Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s respective interest in Partnership profits shall be equal to such Holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to Partnership Common Units.

(a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Partnership item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3.

(b) Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 5.4(a), Tax Items with respect to an Asset that is contributed to the Partnership with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Partnership shall account for such variation under the traditional method as described in Regulations section 1.704-3(b), provided that another method approved under Code section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations may be used to account for such variation if Professionals consents in writing to the use of such method. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Section 1.1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Partnership issues any noncompensatory options as defined in Regulations section 1.721-2 and a Partner receives an interest in the Partnership pursuant to the exercise of such an option, the Partnership shall make such allocations and adjustments to the Partners’ Capital Accounts as are required to comply with Regulations section 1.704-1.

Section 6.1 Management. Subject to the provisions of the agreements entered into in connection with the De-SPAC Transactions, to the extent that, and in the circumstances under which they are intended to control, including the Stockholders Agreement (as such term is defined in the Transaction Agreement);

(a) The General Partner shall have full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the business and affairs of the Partnership, to make all decisions affecting the business and affairs of the Partnership and to do or cause to be done any and all acts, at the expense of the Partnership, as it deems necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes and direct the affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner shall have the exclusive power and authority to bind the Partnership, except and to the extent that such power is expressly delegated in writing to any other Person by the General Partner, and such delegation shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a Partner or the General Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner shall be an agent of the Partnership’s business, and the actions of the General Partner taken in such capacity and in accordance with this Agreement shall bind the Partnership. The General Partner shall at all times be a Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner shall constitute a “general partner” under the Act. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into and perform any document without any vote or consent of any other Person. No Limited Partner or Assignee (other than in its separate capacity as the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any member, officer or employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall take part in the operations, management or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any member, officer or employee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement. The General Partner may not be removed by the Partners, with or without cause, except with the consent of the Special Limited Partner.

(b) The determination as to any of the following matters, made by or at the direction of the General Partner consistent with the Act and this Agreement, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Partnership and every Limited Partner: the amount of assets at any time available for distribution or the redemption of Partnership Common Units or Partnership Preferred Units; the amount and timing of any distribution; any determination to redeem Partnership Class A Common Units that have been in fact tendered for redemption; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been paid or discharged); the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Partnership; any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any assets by the Partnership; or any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Partnership or required or permitted by applicable law, this Agreement or otherwise to be determined by the General Partner.

(c) The General Partner may also, from time to time, appoint such officers and establish such management and/or advisory boards or committees of the Partnership as the General Partner deems necessary or advisable, each of which shall have such powers, authority and responsibilities as are delegated in writing by the General Partner from time to time. Each such officer and/or board or committee member shall serve at the pleasure of the General Partner.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by any non-waivable provision of the Act or other applicable law, no Partner other than the General Partner shall (x) have any right to vote on or consent to any other matter, act, decision or document involving the Partnership or its business, or (y) take part in the day-to-day management, or the operation or control, of the business and affairs of the Partnership. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner may cause the Partnership, without the consent or approval of any other Partner, to enter into any of the following in one or a series of related transactions: (i) any merger, (ii) any acquisition, (iii) any consolidation, (iv) any sale, lease or other transfer or conveyance of assets, (v) any recapitalization or reorganization of outstanding securities, (vi) any merger, sale, lease, spin-off, division, exchange, transfer or other disposition of a subsidiary, division or other business, (vii) any issuance of debt or equity securities (subject to any limitations expressly provided for herein) or (viii) any incurrence of indebtedness. Except to the extent expressly delegated in writing by the General Partner, no Limited Partner or Person other than the General Partner shall be an agent for the Partnership or have any right, power or authority to transact any business in the name of the Partnership or to act for or on behalf of or to bind the Partnership.

(e) Only the General Partner may commence a voluntary case on behalf of, or an involuntary case against, the Partnership under a chapter of Title 11 U.S.C. by the filing of a “petition” (as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101(42)) with the United States Bankruptcy Court. Any such petition filed by any other Partner, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall be deemed an unauthorized and bad faith filing and all parties to this Agreement shall use their best efforts to cause such petition to be dismissed.

(f) It is anticipated that the General Partner’s primary business activities shall be focused on the operation of the PWP Entities. Subject to the foregoing and any additional limitations contained in any constituent agreement(s) of any other PWP Entity, the Partners acknowledge and agree that, subject to the terms of any other employment, consulting or similar arrangements or engagement with the Partnership, the General Partner, or any Affiliate of either of them: (i) any Limited Partner may engage or invest in any other business, activity or opportunity of any nature, independently or with others; (ii) neither the Partnership nor any Partner (in its capacity as such) shall have any right to participate in any manner in such engagement or investment, or the profits or income earned or derived therefrom; and (iii) the pursuit of such activities by any such Partner shall not be deemed in violation of breach of this Agreement or any obligation or duty owed by such Partner to the Partnership or the other Partners.

(g) Subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation and Section 6.1(h), the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of any of the Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

(i) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;

(ii) to reflect the admission, substitution or withdrawal of Partners, the Transfer of any Partnership Interest or the termination of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, and to amend the Register in connection with such admission, substitution, withdrawal or Transfer;

(iii) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature or does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity or mistake, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with applicable law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with applicable law or with the provisions of this Agreement;

(iv) to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law;

(v) to modify either or both of the manner in which items of Net Income or Net Loss are allocated pursuant to Article V or the manner in which Capital Accounts are adjusted, computed, or maintained (but in each case only to the extent set forth in the definition of “Capital Account” or Section 4.6 or as contemplated by the Code or the Regulations);

(vi) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests in accordance with Article III;

(vii) to set forth or amend the designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any additional Partnership Units issued pursuant to Article III;

(viii) if the Partnership is the Surviving Partnership in any Termination Transaction, to modify Article XIV or any related definitions to provide the holders of interests in such Surviving Partnership rights that are consistent with Section 10.7(b)(v);

(ix) to modify Section 3.4 as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable as a result of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership adopting, modifying or terminating any share incentive plan for the benefit of employees, directors or other business associates of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates;

(xi) in connection with the De-SPAC Transaction, to (A) purchase from the Special Limited Partner (x) a number of Class B-1 Shares equal to the number of Partnership Class A Common Units held by Professionals at such time and (y) a number of Class B-2 Shares equal to the aggregate number of Partnership Class A Common Units held by the Founding Partners at such time; (B) immediately following such purchases, distribute (x) to Professionals, all such Class B-1 Shares and (y) to each Founding Partner, a number of Class B-2 Shares equal to the number of Partnership Class A Common Units held by such Founding Partner; (C) to the extent applicable, immediately following such distributions, redeem certain of the Partnership Class A Common Units held by such Founding Partners upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Founding Partner Elections; and (D) to the extent applicable, immediately following such redemptions, redeem certain of the Partnership Class A Common Units held by certain Professionals Partners (which Partnership Class A Common Units were received in connection with the redemption by Professionals of certain Professionals Partners’ Professionals Class A-1 Common Units) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Professionals Partner Elections; and

(xii) to reflect any other modification to this Agreement as is reasonably necessary for the business or operations of the Partnership or the Special Limited Partner and which does not violate Section 6.1(h).

(h) Notwithstanding Article XIII, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the consent of each Partner, if any, adversely affected thereby, if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner into a general partner of the Partnership (except as a result of the Limited Partner becoming the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner or increase the obligation of a Limited Partner to make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership, (iii) adversely alter the rights of any Partner to receive the distributions to which such Partner is entitled pursuant to Article IV or Section 12.3(a)(iii), or alter the allocations specified in Article V (except, in any case, as permitted pursuant to Section 3.2, Section 4.6 and Section 6.1(g)), (iv) alter or modify in a manner that adversely affects any Partner the Exchange rights, Cash Amount or Stock Amount as set forth in Article XIV or amend or modify any related definitions (except for amendments to this Agreement or other actions that provide rights consistent with Section 10.7(b)(v)), (v) would convert the Partnership into a corporation (other than in connection with a Termination Transaction) or (vi) amend this Section 6.1(h); provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), the consent of any individual Partner adversely affected shall not be required for any amendment or action that affects all Partners holding the same class or series of Partnership Units on a uniform or pro rata basis, if approved by a Majority in Interest of the Partners of such class or series. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 6.1 without the consent specified therein. Any such amendment or action consented to by any Partner shall be effective as to that Partner, notwithstanding the absence of such consent by any other Partner.

(i) The General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of any of the Partners, to effect a split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or any other recapitalization or reclassification transaction of any class of Partnership Units.

(a) The General Partner shall not receive any fees from the Partnership for its services in administering the Partnership, except as otherwise provided herein (including the provisions of Article IV and Article V regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled in its capacity as the General Partner).

(b) Subject to Section 6.2(c), the Partnership shall be liable for, and shall reimburse the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and Professionals and its general partner (in such capacity), as applicable, on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine, for all sums expended in connection with the Partnership’s business, including (i) expenses relating to the ownership of interests in and management and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership, (ii) compensation of officers and employees of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership, including payments under future compensation plans of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership that may provide for stock units, or phantom stock, pursuant to which employees of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership will receive payments based upon dividends on or the value of Class A Shares, (iii) director fees and expenses, (iv) all costs and expenses of the Special Limited Partner being a public company, including costs of filings with the SEC, reports and other distributions to its stockholders, and (v) all organizational and operational expenses reasonably incurred by Professionals or its general partner (in such capacity), including all payments, advances and other expenses in connection with any indemnity or similar obligation of Professionals or its general partner (in such capacity), in the case of clause (v), to the extent such expenses have been allocated to the Advisory Business (as defined in the Professionals LPA) in accordance with the Intended Economic Arrangement (as defined in the Professionals LPA) or otherwise in accordance with the Professionals LPA or the PWP LLCA (as defined in the Professionals LPA); provided, however, that the amount of any reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership as permitted pursuant to Section 6.3. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and Professionals or its general partner (in such capacity) as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 6.6.

(d) The Partnership shall satisfy all expense payment and reimbursement obligations arising under section 4.03 of the Previous LPA.

(a) Neither the General Partner nor the Special Limited Partner shall directly or indirectly enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with, (i) with respect to the General Partner, the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests, (ii) with respect to the General Partner, the management of the business of the Partnership, (iii) with respect to the Special Limited Partner, its operation as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, (iv) with respect to the Special Limited Partner, the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (v) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Partnership or its assets or activities, and (vi) such activities as are incidental thereto.

(b) Subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 6.4 and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates with the General Partner, the Partnership or a Subsidiary (including any employment agreement), any Limited Partner and any Assignee, officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate, member or stockholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities that are in direct or indirect competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person (other than the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, to the extent expressly provided herein), and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Section 6.4 and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the General Partner, the Partnership or a Subsidiary, to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

(a) The Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to the Special Limited Partner and its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which the Special Limited Partner has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership in the aggregate than would be available from unaffiliated third parties as determined by the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Partner or any other Person. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Partner that the Special Limited Partner may (i) borrow funds from the Partnership in order to redeem, at any time or from time to time, options or warrants previously or hereafter issued by the Special Limited Partner, (ii) put to the Partnership, for cash, any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities that the Special Limited Partner may desire or be required to purchase or redeem or (iii) borrow funds from the Partnership to acquire assets that will be contributed to the Partnership for Partnership Units.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.3, the Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

(c) The General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and their respective Affiliates may sell, transfer or convey any property to the Partnership, directly or indirectly, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership in the aggregate than would be available from unaffiliated third parties as determined by the General Partner.

(a) Neither the General Partner nor the Special Limited Partner nor officers and directors of either of the foregoing shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for any losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Person or such other Person if the act or failure to act of such Person or such other Person was in good faith, within the scope of such Person’s authority, and undertaken in a manner it believed to be in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Partnership.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, the parties hereby agree that the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and all officers and directors of either of the foregoing, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including Section 17-1101(d) of the Act, owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership, the other Partners, or any other Person who is a party to or who is otherwise bound by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.5(b) shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they eliminate the duties and liabilities of such Persons otherwise existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of such Persons relating thereto.

(c) The Partners agree that: (i) the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the Partners, the Special Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders, collectively; and (ii) in the event of a conflict between the interests of the Partnership or any Partner, on the one hand, and the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner or its stockholders, on the other hand, the General Partner may give priority to the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner and its stockholders (including, without limitation, with respect to the tax consequences to Partners, Assignees or the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders) and, in the event of such a conflict, the General Partner may give priority to the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner or its stockholders if such action or failure to act does not result in a violation of the contract rights of the Partners under this Agreement.

(d) In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken (or not taken) by it. Except as otherwise agreed by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Partner under any circumstances as a result of any income tax liability incurred by such Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to the General Partner’s authority under this Agreement.

(e) Subject to its obligations and duties as the General Partner set forth in this Agreement and applicable law, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible to the Partnership or any Partner for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent appointed by it in good faith.

(f) In performing its duties under this Agreement and the Act, the General Partner shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement and on any information, opinion, report or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data or the records or books of account of the Partnership or any subsidiary of the Partnership, prepared or presented by an officer, employee or agent of the General Partner or the Partnership or any such subsidiary, or by a lawyer, certified public accountant, appraiser or other person engaged by the Partnership as to any matter within such person’s professional or expert competence, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any such information, opinion, report or statement as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the General Partner in reliance on such advice shall not subject the General Partner to liability to the Partnership or any Partner. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by the General Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, the General Partner shall not have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partners, for any action or omission taken in its capacity as the General Partner or, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, for the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s obligations hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property or assets of the General Partner, other than its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement.

(h) No manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, and no officer of the Partnership, shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for money damages by reason of their service as such.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a similar grant of authority or latitude, or without any express standard, in making such decisions, the General Partner shall be entitled to take into account such interests and factors as it desires (including its own interests) or (b) in “good faith” or under another expressed standard, the General Partner shall act under such standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

(j) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.5 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the General Partner, or the managers, members, directors, officers or agents of the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, or officers of the Partnership, to the Partnership and the Partners under this Section 6.5, as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(a) The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee (and such person’s heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquid or illiquid (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals (“Actions”), in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or an officer or director of either of the foregoing or which relates to or arises out of the Partnership or its property, business or affairs if (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith, within the scope of such Indemnitee’s authority, and in a manner it believed to be in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Partnership, (ii) the Action was not initiated by the Indemnitee (other than an action to enforce such Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advance of expenses under this Section 6.6) and (iii) the Indemnitee has not been established by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Partnership. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall look to the applicable PWP Entity first in respect of any indemnification claim hereunder (or any advances sought in connection therewith).

(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Action, subject to this Section 6.6 shall be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such Action upon receipt by the Partnership of a written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.6.

(c) Any indemnification obligations of the Partnership arising under this Section 6.6 shall be satisfied out of any Partnership assets (including any amounts otherwise currently or subsequently distributable to any Partner(s)).

(d) The right to indemnification provided hereby shall not be exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 6.6.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 6.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(i) The Partnership shall satisfy all indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations arising under section 4.08 of the limited liability company agreement of the Company that were allocated to the Company in the Division.

(j) It is the intent of the parties that any amounts paid by the Partnership to the Special Limited Partner or the General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code section 707(c) (unless otherwise required by the Code and the Regulations).

Section 7.1 Return of Capital. Except pursuant to the rights of Exchange set forth in Article XIV or in any Partnership Unit Designation, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution of the Partnership as provided herein. Except to the extent provided in Article IV or Article V or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Partnership Unit Designation, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

(a) In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, the General Partner shall deliver to each Limited Partner a copy of any information mailed to all of the common stockholders of the Special Limited Partner as soon as practicable after such mailing.

(b) The Partnership shall notify any Limited Partner that is a Qualifying Party, on request, of the then current Adjustment Factor or any change made to the Adjustment Factor.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners (or any of them), for such period of time as the General Partner determines to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or the Special Limited Partner or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by applicable law or by agreement to keep confidential.

Section 7.3 Partnership Right to Call Partnership Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and after the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner and its Subsidiaries) are less than five percent (5%), the Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem any and all outstanding Partnership Common Units (other than Partnership Common Units held by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner and its Subsidiaries) by treating any Limited Partner as a Qualifying Party who has delivered an Election of Exchange pursuant to Section 14.1(b) for the amount of Partnership Common Units to be specified by the General Partner by notice to such Limited Partner that the Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 7.3. Such notice given by the General Partner to a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be treated as if it were an Election of Exchange delivered to the General Partner by such Limited Partner. For purposes of this Section 7.3, (a) any Limited Partner (whether or not otherwise a Qualifying Party) may be treated as a Qualifying Party that elected to Exchange and (b) the provisions of Article XIV shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

(a) If at any time the Special Limited Partner and/or its Affiliates desire to Transfer in one or more transactions all or any portion of its and/or their Partnership Interests (or any beneficial interest therein) in an arm’s-length transaction to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the Special Limited Partner (an “Applicable Sale”), the Special Limited Partner can require each other Partner and Assignee to sell the same ratable share of its Partnership Interests as is being sold by the Special Limited Partner and such Affiliates (based upon the total Partnership Interests held by the Special Limited Partner and its Affiliates at such time) on the same terms and conditions (“Drag-Along Right”). The Special Limited Partner may in its sole discretion elect to cause the General Partner and/or the Partnership to structure the Applicable Sale as a merger or consolidation or as a sale of the Partnership’s assets. If such Applicable Sale is structured (i) as a merger or consolidation, then no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) as a sale of assets, then no Limited Partner may object to any subsequent liquidation or other distribution of the proceeds therefrom. Each Limited Partner and Assignee agrees to consent to, and raise no objections against, an Applicable Sale. In the event of the exercise by the Special Limited Partner of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 7.4, each Limited Partner and Assignee shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the Special Limited Partner in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be required to give disproportionately greater or more onerous representations, warranties, indemnities or covenants than the Special Limited Partner or its Affiliates, (B) such Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Partnership or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs and fees were incurred for the benefit of the Partnership or all of its Partners, (C) such Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate share of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Partnership and the Limited Partners as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, and (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the Special Limited Partner or the General Partner shall be limited, in respect of each Limited Partner, to such Limited Partner’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable Sale.

(b) At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the Special Limited Partner shall (i) provide the Limited Partners and Assignees written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of such Applicable Sale, which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment and other material terms and conditions of such purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with respect to such Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether or not the Special Limited Partner has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Limited Partners and Assignees of all proposed changes to such material terms and keep the Limited Partners and Assignees reasonably informed as to all material terms relating to such sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Limited Partners and Assignees copies of all final material agreements relating thereto not already provided in according with this Section 7.4(b) or otherwise. The Special Limited Partner shall provide the Limited Partners and Assignees written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

Section 7.5 Limitation of Liability. No Limited Partner, in its capacity as such, shall have any duties or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9.4) or under the Act. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Partnership, the other Partners or any other Persons for any action or omission taken in its capacity as a limited partner or for the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s obligations hereunder, except pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by such Limited Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, and except for liabilities of the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Article XIV. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except pursuant to any such express indemnity (and, in the case of the Special Limited Partner, pursuant to Article XIV), no property or assets of a Limited Partner, other than its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Management of Business. No Limited Partner or Assignee (other than in its separate capacity as the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, manager, member, employee, partner, agent, representative or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall take part in the operations, management or control of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, manager, member, employee, partner, agent, representative or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Outside Activities of Limited Partners. Subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates with the General Partner, the Partnership or a Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any employment agreement), any Limited Partner and any Assignee, officer, director, employee, agent, representative, trustee, Affiliate, manager, member, partner or shareholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities that are in direct or indirect competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any other Person, and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Section 6.4 hereof and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the General Partner, the Partnership or a Subsidiary, to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Partner, or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Partnership, any Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

Section 7.8 Certificates Evidencing Partnership Units. The General Partner may, at any time, determine that ownership of any class of Partnership Units shall be evidenced by a certificate in such form as the General Partner adopts from time to time, which certificate may be imprinted with a legend setting forth such restrictions placed on the Partnership Units as specified in this Agreement and such restrictions will be binding upon all holders of the certificate along with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. If the General Partner elects to issue certificates to evidence any class of Partnership Units, it shall give prior written notice to the Limited Partners of such election, and the following provisions shall apply: (a) the certificate shall state that the Partnership is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, the name of the Partner to whom such certificate is issued and that the certificate represents a “partnership interest,” within the meaning of Section 17-702(b) of the Act; (b) each certificate shall be signed by the General Partner of the Partnership by either manual or facsimile signature; (c) the certificates shall be numbered and registered in the Register as they are issued; (d) when certificates are presented to the Partnership with a request to register a transfer, if the transfer is permitted by this Agreement, the Partnership shall register the transfer or make the exchange on the Register or transfer books of the Partnership; provided, that any certificates presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; (e) before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate in compliance with and in accordance with this Agreement, the Partnership shall be entitled to treat the individual or entity in whose name any certificates issued by the Partnership stand on the books of the Partnership as the absolute owner of the Partnership Units evidenced thereby, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Partnership Units on the part of any other individual or entity; (f) if any mutilated certificate is surrendered to the Partnership, or the Partnership receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any certificate, the Partnership shall issue a replacement certificate if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. If required by the General Partner, an indemnity and/or the deposit of a bond in such form and in such sum, and with such surety or sureties as the General Partner may direct, must be supplied by the holder of such lost, destroyed or stolen certificate that is sufficient in the judgment of the General Partner to protect the Partnership from any loss that it may suffer if a certificate is replaced. The Partnership may charge for its expenses incurred in connection with replacing a certificate.

Section 8.1 Books and Records. At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the Partnership shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Partnership shall keep at its principal office the following:

(a) a current list of the full name and the last known street address of each Partner;

(b) a copy of the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto; and

(c) copies of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years.

Section 8.2 Inspection. Subject to Section 15.12, Limited Partners (personally or through an authorized representative) may, for purposes reasonably related to their respective Partnership Interests, examine and copy (at their own cost and expense) the books and records of the Partnership at all reasonable business hours upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 9.1 Preparation of Tax Returns. The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish, within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners and for federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Limited Partners shall promptly provide the General Partner with such information relating to any Contributed Assets, including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner from time to time.

Section 9.2 Tax Elections. The General Partner shall file (or cause to be filed) an election pursuant to Code section 754 for the Partnership for its first Fiscal Year and shall maintain and keep such election in effect at all times. Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, other than the election under Code section 754. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (other than the election under Code section 754).

(a) The General Partner is hereby designated to serve as the “tax matters partner” under Code section 6231(a)(7) (as in effect prior to repeal of such section pursuant to the Partnership Audit Procedures) and the “partnership representative” with respect to the Partnership, as provided in section 6223(a) of the Partnership Audit Procedures (in such capacities, the “Partnership Representative”) to oversee or handle matters relating to the taxation of the Partnership. For each taxable year in which the Partnership Representative is an entity, the Partnership shall appoint the “designated individual” identified by the Partnership Representative to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative (the “Designated Individual”) in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations. Each Partner expressly consents to such designations and agrees that it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.

(b) The Partnership Representative shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with and make all relevant decisions regarding application of the Partnership Audit Procedures, including, but not limited to, any elections under the Partnership Audit Procedures or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge, litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any proceeding before the IRS.

(c) The Partners agree to cooperate in good faith to timely provide information requested by the Partnership Representative as needed to comply with the Partnership Audit Procedures, including without limitation to make any elections available to the Partnership under the Partnership Audit Procedures. Each Partner agrees that, upon request of the Partnership, such Partner shall take such actions as may be necessary or desirable (as determined by the Partnership Representative) to (i) allow the Partnership to comply with the provisions of section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures so that any “partnership adjustments” (as defined in section 6241(2) of the Partnership Audit Procedures) are taken into account by the Partners and former Partners rather than the Partnership; (ii) use the provisions of section 6225(c) of the Partnership Audit Procedures including, but not limited to, filing amended tax returns with respect to any “reviewed year” (within the meaning of section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Procedures) or using the alternative procedure to filing amended returns to reduce the amount of any partnership adjustment otherwise required to be taken into account by the Partnership; or (iii) otherwise allow the Partnership and its Partners to address and respond to any matters arising under the Partnership Audit Procedures.

(d) Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if any partnership adjustment is determined with respect to the Partnership, the Partnership Representative may cause the Partnership to elect pursuant to section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures to have such adjustment passed through to the Partners for the year to which the adjustment relates (i.e., the “reviewed year” within the meaning of section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Procedures). In the event that the Partnership Representative has not caused the Partnership to so elect pursuant to section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures, then any “imputed underpayment” (as determined in accordance with section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Procedures) or partnership adjustment that does not give rise to an imputed underpayment shall be apportioned among the Partners of the Partnership for the taxable year in which the adjustment is finalized in such manner as may be necessary (as determined by the Partnership Representative in good faith) so that, to the maximum extent possible, the tax and economic consequences of the imputed underpayment or other partnership adjustment and any associated interest and penalties (any such amount, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”) are borne by the Partners based upon their interests in the Partnership for the reviewed year. Imputed Underpayment Amounts also shall include any imputed underpayment within the meaning of section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Procedures paid (or payable) by any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Partnership holds (or has held) a direct or indirect interest other than through entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that the Partnership bears the economic burden of such amounts, whether by law or contract.

(e) Each Partner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership from and against any liability with respect to such Partner’s share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Partnership that is allocable to the Partner as determined in accordance with the second sentence of Section 9.3(d) with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Partner was a partner in the Partnership. The obligations set forth in this Section 9.3(e) shall survive the termination of any Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Partnership, and shall remain binding on each Partner for the period of time necessary to resolve with the IRS (or any other applicable taxing authority) all income tax matters relating to the Partnership and for Partners to satisfy their indemnification obligations, if any, pursuant to this Section 9.3. Any obligation of a Partner pursuant to this Section 9.3(e) shall be implemented through adjustments to distributions otherwise payable to such Partner as determined in accordance with Section 4.1; provided however, that, at the written request of the Partnership Representative, each Partner or former Partner may be required to contribute to the Partnership such Partner’s Imputed Underpayment Amount imposed on and paid by the Partnership; provided further, that if a Partner or former Partner individually directly pays, pursuant to the Partnership Audit Procedures, any such Imputed Underpayment Amount, then such payment shall reduce any offset to distribution or required capital contribution of such Partner or former Partner. Any amount withheld from distributions pursuant to this Section 9.3(e) shall be treated as an amount distributed to such Partner or former Partner for all purposes under this Agreement.

(f) All expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in connection with its duties as partnership representative or designated individual, as applicable, shall be expenses of the Partnership (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claims asserted against the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, except to the extent the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual is determined to have performed its duties in the manner described in the final sentence of this Section 9.3(f)), and the Partnership shall reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, for all such expenses and costs. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual from engaging lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, or other professional advisers or experts to assist the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in discharging its duties hereunder. Neither the Partnership Representative nor Designated Individual shall be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any Affiliate thereof for any costs or losses to any persons, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of the performance of its duties pursuant to this Section 9.3 absent (i) willful breach of any provision of this Section 9.3 or (ii) bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable.

Section 9.4 Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code section 1441, Code section 1442, Code section 1445 or Code section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.4. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 9.4 when due, the General Partner may elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

Section 9.5 Organizational Expenses. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a 180-month period as provided in Code section 709.

(a) No part of the interest of a Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

(b) No Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article X. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article X shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) No Transfer of any Partnership Interest may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the General Partner; provided that as a condition to such consent, the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the Stock Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by such lender immediately before the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Code section 752.

(a) Except as provided in Section 10.2(b), and subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may not Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest without the Consent of the Partners.

(b) Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Article X, the General Partner may Transfer all of its Partnership Interest at any time to the Special Limited Partner or any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Special Limited Partner without the Consent of any Partner, and may designate the transferee to become the new General Partner under Section 11.1.

(c) The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a general partner of the Partnership without the consent of the Special Limited Partner, except in connection with a Transfer of the General Partner’s entire Partnership Interest permitted in this Article X and the admission of the transferee as a successor General Partner of the Partnership pursuant to the Act and this Agreement.

(d) It is a condition to any Transfer of the entire Partnership Interest of a sole General Partner otherwise permitted hereunder that (i) coincident or prior to such Transfer, the transferee is admitted as a General Partner pursuant to the Act and this Agreement; (ii) the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest; and (iii) the transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to the General Partner and the admission of such transferee as a General Partner.

(a) General. Except as provided below, no Holder may Transfer any Partnership Unit without the consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder may, at any time, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Units pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (including, in the case of a Holder that is a Permitted Lender Transferee, any Transfer of a Partnership Interest to a Third-Party Pledge Transferee). Any Transfer by a Holder is subject to Section 10.4 and to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) Right of First Refusal. The Transferring Partner (or the Partner’s estate in the event of the Partner’s death) shall give written notice of the proposed Transfer to the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, which notice shall state (x) the identity and address of the proposed transferee and (y) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the Transferred Units. The Special Limited Partner shall have ten (10) Business Days upon which to give the Transferring Partner notice of its election to acquire the Partnership Units on the terms set forth in such notice (or, if the terms provide for non-cash consideration, for cash equal to the Value, or if other than Class A Shares, the fair market value (as determined by the Special Limited Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive), of such non-cash consideration). If it so elects, the Special Limited Partner shall purchase the Partnership Units on such terms within ten (10) Business Days after giving notice of such election; provided, however, that in the event that the proposed terms involve a purchase for cash (including cash in lieu of non-cash consideration), the Special Limited Partner may at its election deliver in lieu of all or any portion of such cash a note from the Special Limited Partner payable to the Transferring Partner at a date as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such purchase, and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Federal Short-Term Rate, as published monthly by the IRS, as of the closing of such purchase; provided, further, that such closing may be deferred to the extent necessary to effect compliance with the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and any other applicable requirements of law. If the Special Limited Partner does not elect to acquire the Partnership Units, then the Transferring Partner may Transfer such Partnership Units to a third party, on terms no more favorable to the transferee than the originally proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 10.3.

(ii) Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of a Partnership Unit shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that, for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction of Section 10.3(a)(iv) may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.

(iii) Opinion of Counsel. The transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the General Partner an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units Transferred; provided, however, that the General Partner may waive this condition upon the request of the transferor. If the General Partner determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk of requiring the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise violating any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units, the General Partner may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 10.3.

(iv) Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any transferor must Transfer not less than the lesser of (i) ten thousand (10,000) Partnership Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the General Partner) or (ii) all of the remaining Partnership Units owned by such transferor; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Partnership Units owned by Affiliates of a Holder shall be considered to be owned by such Holder.

(v) No Further Transfers. The transferee shall not be permitted to effect any further Transfer of the Partnership Units, other than to the Special Limited Partner or the Partnership.

(vi) Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Section 10.3(a)(i) and Section 10.3(a)(iii) through Section 10.3(a)(v) shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer.

It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after any applicable Lock-Up Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Units, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 10.5.

(b) Incapacity. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

(c) Adverse Tax Consequences. No Transfer by a Holder of its Partnership Units (including any Exchange, any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner or any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership and including any Permitted Transfer) may be made to or by any Person if the Partnership determines, (i) such Transfer would create a material risk of the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation or (ii) there would be a material risk that such Transfer would be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code section 7704.

(a) No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee other than a Permitted Transferee as a Limited Partner in its place. A transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner may be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that a Permitted Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to a Permitted Transfer without the consent of the General Partner, subject to compliance with the last sentence of this Section 10.4. The failure or refusal by the General Partner to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or the General Partner. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner until and unless it furnishes to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee, (iii) Consent by Spouse and (iv) such other documents and instruments as the General Partner may require to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner.

(b) Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number of Partnership Units of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Partnership Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

(c) A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article X shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Assignees. If the General Partner’s consent is required for the admission of any transferee under Section 10.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 10.4, and the General Partner withholds such consent, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Partnership Units provided in this Article X, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Article XIV with respect to a Qualifying Party that elects to Exchange), and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Partnership Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

(a) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than: (i) as a result of a Permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article X with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner; (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner) of all of its Partnership Interest pursuant to a redemption under Section 7.3 or Article XIV and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation; or (iii) as a result of the acquisition by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, whether or not pursuant to Article XIV.

(b) Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article X where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an Exchange under Article XIV and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) to the Special Limited Partner, whether or not pursuant to Article XIV, shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c) If any Partnership Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article X, or is redeemed by the Partnership, or acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Article XIV, on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Partnership Unit for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Qualifying Party that elected the Exchange (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer or assignment other than an Exchange, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner and none of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or an Exchange occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner, or the Qualifying Party that elected the Exchange (as the case may be) if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions attributable to such Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or Exchange shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Qualifying Party that elected the Exchange (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than an Exchange, all distributions thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee.

(d) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including any Exchange, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Special Limited Partner or any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if the General Partner determines that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Partnership would become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code section 4975(c)); (v) if the General Partner determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the assets of the Partnership would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations section 2510.2-101; (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if the General Partner determines that such Transfer creates a material risk that the Partnership would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; (viii) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended; or (ix) if the General Partner determines that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Partnership would become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code section 469(k)(2) or Code section 7704(b), or otherwise cease to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner).

(e) Transfers pursuant to this Article X, other than a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the exercise of remedies under a Pledge, may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees.

Section 10.7 Restrictions on Termination Transactions. Neither the Special Limited Partner nor the General Partner shall engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction, other than (i) with the Consent of the Limited Partners, or (ii) either:

(a) in connection with any such Termination Transaction, each holder of Partnership Common Units (other than the Special Limited Partner and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Common Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the Adjustment Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Class A Share in consideration of one Class A Share pursuant to the terms of such Termination Transaction; provided, that if, in connection with such Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares, each holder of Partnership Common Units (other than the Special Limited Partner and its wholly owned subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such holder of Partnership Common Units would have received had it exercised its right to Exchange pursuant to Article XIV and received Class A Shares in exchange for its Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or

(b) all of the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the Partnership prior to the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (ii) the Surviving Partnership is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (iii) the Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner) that held Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iv) the rights of such Limited Partners with respect to the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable as those of Limited Partners holding Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (v) below) and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (v) such rights include the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership at any time for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such interest at the time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Partnership.

Section 11.1 Admission of Successor General Partner. A successor to all or a portion of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 10.2(b) who the General Partner has designated to become a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately upon the Transfer of such Partnership Interest to it. Upon any such Transfer and the admission of any such transferee as a successor General Partner in accordance with this Section 11.1, the transferor General Partner shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and shall cease to be a general partner of the Partnership without any separate Consent of the Partners or the consent or approval of any other Partner. Any such successor shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission. In the event that the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, or transfers its entire Partnership Interest, in violation of this Agreement, or otherwise dissolves or terminates or ceases to be the general partner of the Partnership, a Majority in Interest of the Partners may elect to continue the Partnership by selecting a successor General Partner in accordance with Section 12.2(c).

(a) After the Effective Date, a Person (other than a then-existing Partner) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Units and in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the power of attorney granted in Section 15.1, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Person, (iii) Consent by Spouse and (iv) such other documents or instruments as may be required by the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address, number and type of Partnership Units of such Additional Limited Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 11.2(a).

(c) If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Holders by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Holders including such Additional Limited Partner, in accordance with the principles described in Section 10.6(c). All distributions with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

(d) For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the Register and the books and records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof.

Section 11.3 Redeemed Professional Partners. Any Redeemed Professionals Partner that becomes an Additional Limited Partner shall, with respect to the Partnership Class A Common Units received in connection with any applicable redemption, be subject to the following provisions of the Professionals LPA (and such provisions are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall apply as if fully set forth herein mutatis mutandis): section 7.7, section 7.8 and section 10.3. To the extent any of such provisions conflict with any provision of this Agreement, the provisions of the Professionals LPA shall control (but only to the extent of such conflict). For purposes of this Section 11.3, “Redeemed Professionals Partner” means a Professionals Partner whose (a) Professionals Class A-1 Common Units were redeemed by Professionals for Partnership Class A Common Units and Class B-1 Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Professionals LPA, and (b) Partnership Class A Common Units and Class B-1 Shares so received were not concurrently exchanged and converted pursuant to Article XIV and the Charter, as applicable.

Section 11.4 Limit on Number of Partners. Unless otherwise permitted by the General Partner, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners (including as Partners for this purpose those Persons indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through another partnership, a limited liability company, a subchapter S corporation or a grantor trust) that would cause the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

Section 11.5 Admission. A Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a limited partner of the Partnership or a general partner of the Partnership only upon strict compliance, and not upon substantial compliance, with the requirements set forth in this Agreement for admission to the Partnership as a Limited Partner or a General Partner.

Section 12.1 No Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partnership may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, and the Partners hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Partnership or a sale or partition of any or all of the Partnership assets.

Section 12.2 Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Liquidating Event”):

(c) the Incapacity or removal of the General Partner or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the General Partner (each, an “Event of Withdrawal”); provided, that the Partnership will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 12.2(c) if, within ninety (90) days after the Event of Withdrawal, the Consent of the Special Limited Partner is delivered with respect to the appointment, effective as of the Event of Withdrawal, of another General Partner.

(d) an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner; or

(e) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act.

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 12.2, unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner (or, in the event that there is no remaining General Partner or the General Partner has dissolved, become Bankrupt or ceased to operate, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Partners (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property, and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the Special Limited Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors including Partners who are creditors (other than with respect to liabilities owed to Partners in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof;

(ii) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s liabilities to the Partners in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions, whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and

(iii) Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, the balance, if any, to the Holders in accordance with and in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XII.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3(a) that require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(a), undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(c) In the event that the Partnership is “liquidated,” within the meaning of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XII to the Holders that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the extent of, and in proportion to, positive Capital Account balances. If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holders pursuant to this Article XII may be:

(i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or

(ii) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 12.3(a) as soon as practicable.

Section 12.4 Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

Section 12.5 Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Partnership Units in the manner provided for in this Article XII, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.

Section 12.6 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 12.3, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Partners during the period of liquidation.

Article XIII
PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS
OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

Section 13.1 Actions and Consents of Partners. The actions requiring Consent of any Partner pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article XIII.

Section 13.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise required or permitted by this Agreement (including Section 6.1), amendments to this Agreement must be approved by the Consent of the General Partner and the Consent of the Partners, and may be proposed only by (a) the General Partner, or (b) Limited Partners holding a majority of the Partnership Common Units then held by Limited Partners (excluding the Special Limited Partner and any Controlled Entity of the Special Limited Partner). Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit to the Partners any proposed amendment that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, requires the Consent of the Partners. The General Partner shall seek the Consent of the Partners entitled to vote thereon on any such proposed amendment in accordance with Section 13.3. Upon obtaining any such Consent, or any other Consent required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including any Limited Partner, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the General Partner, and (ii) the Holders shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of any amendment to this Agreement that does not receive the Consent of all Partners, the General Partner shall deliver notice of the adoption of such amendment (and to the extent not already delivered to such Partners, a copy of such amendment) to all Partners that did not Consent to such amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the Consent of the General Partner.

(a) Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the General Partner. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners entitled to act at the meeting not less than ten (10) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Partners is required by this Agreement, or any Partnership Unit Designation, the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Partners shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Partners. Whenever the Consent of any Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 13.3(b).

(b) Any action requiring the Consent of any Partner or a group of Partners pursuant to this Agreement, or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Partners whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting of the Partners. Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Partners at a meeting of the Partners. Such Consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.

(c) Each Partner entitled to act at a meeting of Partners may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

(d) The General Partner may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining the Partners (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Partners or (iii) in order to make a determination of Partners for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Partners, not less than ten (10) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Partners shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the record date for any other determination of Partners shall be the effective date of such Partner action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of the Partners has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

(e) Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders.

(a) In respect of each Quarterly Exchange Date, after the expiration or earlier termination or waiver of any applicable Lock-Up Period, each Qualifying Party shall be entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender Partnership Class A Common Units (other than Ineligible Partnership Units) in exchange for the delivery to such exchanging Qualifying Party for each Partnership Class A Common Unit so surrendered of the Cash Amount or, in the sole discretion of the Special Limited Partner, the Stock Amount (such exchange, an “Exchange”); provided that any such Exchange is for a minimum of the lesser of 1,000 Partnership Class A Common Units or all of the Partnership Class A Common Units (other than Ineligible Partnership Units) then held by such Qualifying Party.

(b) The Partnership will provide notice thereof to each Qualifying Party eligible to Exchange Partnership Class A Common Units on a Quarterly Exchange Date at least seventy-five (75) days prior to the anticipated date of such Quarterly Exchange Date. A Qualifying Party shall exercise its right to Exchange Partnership Class A Common Units as set forth in Section 14.1(a) by delivering to the Special Limited Partner and to the Partnership a written Election of Exchange at least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Quarterly Exchange Date substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, duly executed by such Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized attorney in respect of the Partnership Class A Common Units to be Exchanged, delivered during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Special Limited Partner and of the Partnership.

(a) On or prior to the applicable Cash Amount Settlement Date, the Partnership shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the account of each applicable exchanging Qualifying Party, as specified in such Qualifying Party’s Election of Exchange, the applicable Cash Amount with respect to the Partnership Class A Common Units to be settled on such Cash Amount Settlement Date that are the subject of an Election of Exchange for the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date (and which has not been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 14.2(b)(iii) below, if applicable), other than any Partnership Class A Common Unit in respect of which the Special Limited Partner has provided a Stock Settlement Notice on or prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date, against delivery to the Partnership of such Partnership Class A Common Units.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Partnership nor the Special Limited Partner shall effectuate, or cause to be effectuated, the payment of any Cash Amount other than as provided in this Section 14.2(b).

(i) To the extent the Special Limited Partner does not deliver a Stock Settlement Notice in accordance with Section 14.3(a) with respect to all of the Partnership Class A Units that are the subject of an Election of Exchange in respect of any Quarterly Exchange Date, the Special Limited Partner shall cause the Partnership to settle the Exchange of Partnership Class A Common Units that are the subject of such Election of Exchange (such Partnership Class A Common Units, the “Primary Issuance Units”) with the proceeds of a primary issuance of Class A Shares (“Primary Issuance Shares”), whether registered under the Securities Act or exempt from such registration, underwritten, sold directly to investors or through agents or other intermediaries, or otherwise distributed (a “Primary Issuance Funding”) pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2(b)(i).

(ii) Except as provided in Section 14.2(b)(iv) below with respect to Permitted ATM Fundings, the Special Limited Partner must provide notice (a “Primary Issuance Funding Notice”) of the exercise of its election described in Section 14.2(b)(i) to settle an Exchange of Partnership Class A Common Units with the proceeds of a Primary Issuance Funding on or prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date. The Primary Issuance Funding Notice shall set forth:

(2) the estimated discounts and commissions or similar costs payable to any underwriters, broker/dealers or placement or selling agents in connection with such Primary Issuance Funding; and

(3) reasonably detailed information concerning the manner of distribution, including (x) whether the Primary Issuance Shares will be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices; and (y) whether the Primary Issuance Shares will be sold on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another national securities exchange (including through at the market offerings); in the over-the-counter market; in a privately negotiated transaction; through broker/dealers, who may act as agents or principals; through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis; in a block trade; directly to one or more purchasers; through agents; and/or any combination of the foregoing.

(iii) Except as provided in Section 14.2(b)(iv) below with respect to Permitted ATM Fundings, each exchanging Qualifying Party shall have the right to elect to withdraw its Election of Exchange with respect to Primary Issuance Units (an exchanging Qualifying Party making such an election being a “Withdrawing Partner”) by providing notice of such election to the Special Limited Partner on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the next Business Day following the Special Limited Partner’s delivery of the Primary Issuance Funding Notice (as such time may be extended by the Special Limited Partner in its sole discretion), whereupon the Partnership Class A Common Units of such Withdrawing Partner shall be considered to be withdrawn from the related Exchange in respect of such Quarterly Exchange Date and the number of Primary Issuance Shares and Primary Issuance Units shall be reduced accordingly. If an exchanging Qualifying Party, within such time period, fails to notify the Special Limited Partner of such Qualifying Party’s election to become a Withdrawing Partner, then such Qualifying Party shall be deemed not to have withdrawn from the Exchange.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, the Special Limited Partner shall not be required to provide a Primary Issuance Funding Notice, and Qualifying Parties shall not have the withdrawal rights set forth in Section 14.2(b)(iii),with respect to any Primary Issuance Funding to the extent it qualifies as a “Permitted ATM Funding” in accordance with the definition thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Limited Partner can elect to do all or a portion of any Primary Issuance Funding as a “Permitted ATM Funding.”

(v) If the Special Limited Partner elects a Primary Issuance Funding pursuant to this Section 14.2(b), the Partnership shall settle the Exchange of each Primary Issuance Unit, other than any Primary Issuance Unit that has been withdrawn pursuant to Section 14.2(b)(iii) above, to the extent applicable, for the Cash Amount, which shall be payable on or prior to the applicable Cash Amount Settlement Date, which may not be later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date, or in the case of a Permitted ATM Funding, the fourth (4th) Business Day following the expiration of the applicable Permitted ATM Distribution Period.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XIV, the Special Limited Partner may, in its sole discretion, by means of delivery of a written notice to such effect (a “Stock Settlement Notice”) by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date (such date and time the “Cut-Off Date”), elect to Exchange all or any portion (as specified in such notice) of the Partnership Class A Common Units that are the subject of Elections of Exchange for such Quarterly Exchange Date by delivery of the Stock Amount against delivery to the Special Limited Partner of such Partnership Class A Common Units. The Partnership shall be required to settle by paying the Cash Amount for the Exchange of all Partnership Class A Common Units that are the subject of Elections of Exchange for such Quarterly Exchange Date (and which have not been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 14.2(b)(iii) above, if applicable) other than those in respect of which the Special Limited Partner has provided a Stock Settlement Notice on or prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date.

(b) In such event, on the Quarterly Exchange Date, upon the surrender for exchange of the applicable Partnership Class A Common Units in the manner provided in this Article XIV, the Special Limited Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Shares or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Shares, at the principal executive offices of the Special Limited Partner, the number of Class A Shares deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of the relevant exchanging Qualifying Party or its designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class A Shares are eligible for the depository and book-entry services of The Depository Trust Company, the Special Limited Partner will, subject to Section 14.5 below, upon the written instruction of an exchanging Qualifying Party, use its best efforts to deliver the Class A Shares deliverable to such exchanging Qualifying Party, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such exchanging Qualifying Party.

(a) The Special Limited Partner shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of Class A Shares as shall be deliverable upon any such Exchange where the Special Limited Partner has elected to pay the Stock Amount; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Special Limited Partner from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange of the Partnership Class A Common Units where the Special Limited Partner has elected to pay the Stock Amount by delivery of Class A Shares which are held in the treasury of the Special Limited Partner or any of its subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased Class A Shares (which may or may not be held in the treasury of the Special Limited Partner or any subsidiary thereof). The Special Limited Partner covenants that all Class A Shares issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) The Special Limited Partner and the Partnership shall use best efforts to list the Class A Shares to be delivered upon an Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

Section 14.5 Expenses. The Special Limited Partner, the Partnership and each exchanging Qualifying Party shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated.

Section 14.6 Conflicts. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Qualifying Party shall not be entitled to exchange Partnership Class A Common Units to the extent the Special Limited Partner determines that such Exchange (i) would be prohibited by law, (ii) would result in any breach of any debt agreement or other material contract of the Partnership or the Special Limited Partner or (iii) would cause unreasonable financial burden on the Partnership, as reasonably determined by the board of directors of the Special Limited Partner acting in good faith (it being understood that impact on the market price of Class A Shares shall not in and of itself be deemed to be an unreasonable financial burden on the Partnership); provided, that in the event that the Special Limited Partner cancels any Quarterly Exchange Date in reliance on clause (iii) of this Section 14.6, the Special Limited Partner shall not be entitled to cancel the Quarterly Exchange Date next succeeding such canceled Quarterly Exchange Date; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies of any Qualifying Party pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Special Limited Partner, and the other parties thereto, as such agreement may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchange shall be deemed to be prohibited by law pertaining to the registration of securities if such securities have been so registered in the name of the Qualifying Party or if any exemption from such registration requirements is reasonably available.

(a) The Partnership and the Special Limited Partner may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the exchange provisions set forth in this Article XIV, including procedures requiring the use of designated administrators or brokers with respect to the sale of any Class A Shares received in an Exchange and procedures for the delivery of an Election of Exchange.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the board of directors of the Special Limited Partner shall determine in good faith that additional restrictions on Exchange are necessary so that the Partnership is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, the Special Limited Partner or the Partnership may impose such additional restrictions on Exchange as the board of directors of the Special Limited Partner has determined in good faith to be so necessary.

Section 14.8 Pro Rata Treatment of Exchanging Qualifying Parties. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, the Special Limited Partner and the Partnership may settle the Exchange of Partnership Class A Common Units that are the subject of Elections of Exchange in respect of any Quarterly Exchange Date for the Cash Amount (whether funded in whole or in part with one or more Primary Issuance Fundings, including Permitted ATM Fundings, or otherwise), the Stock Amount or any combination of the foregoing; provided, that each such method shall be applied to settle a portion of the Partnership Class A Common Units of each exchanging Qualifying Party pro rata according to the respective number of Partnership Class A Common Units each exchanging Qualifying Party has tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 14.2(b)(iii), if applicable).

Section 14.9 Withholding. Each of the Partnership and the Special Limited Partner shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable upon an Exchange such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of applicable law, and to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding may be taken in Class A Shares. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority (or, if taken in Class A Shares, cash in the amount of the fair market value of such shares is paid over to the appropriate taxing authority), such amounts will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Qualifying Party that elected the Exchange.

Section 15.1 Partnership Counsel. THE PARTNERSHIP, THE GENERAL PARTNER, THE SPECIAL LIMITED PARTNER AND EACH OF THE OTHER PWP ENTITIES MAY BE REPRESENTED BY THE SAME COUNSEL. THE ATTORNEYS, ACCOUNTANTS AND OTHER EXPERTS WHO PERFORM SERVICES FOR THE PARTNERSHIP MAY ALSO PERFORM SERVICES FOR THE SPECIAL LIMITED PARTNER AND EACH OF THE OTHER PWP ENTITIES AND AFFILIATES THEREOF. THE GENERAL PARTNER MAY, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS, EXECUTE ON BEHALF OF THE PARTNERSHIP ANY CONSENT TO THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP THAT COUNSEL MAY REQUEST PURSUANT TO THE NEW YORK RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OR SIMILAR RULES IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE PARTNERSHIP HAS INITIALLY SELECTED SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, MEAGHER & FLOM LLP (“PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL”) AS LEGAL COUNSEL TO THE PARTNERSHIP. EACH HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY HOLDER IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH IN THE ABSENCE OF A CLEAR AND EXPLICIT WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO SUCH EFFECT BETWEEN SUCH HOLDER AND PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL (AND THEN ONLY TO THE EXTENT SPECIALLY SET FORTH IN SUCH AGREEMENT), AND THAT IN ABSENCE OF ANY SUCH AGREEMENT PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL SHALL OWE NO DUTIES TO ANY HOLDER. EACH HOLDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, WHETHER OR NOT PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL HAS IN THE PAST REPRESENTED OR IS CURRENTLY REPRESENTING SUCH HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO OTHER MATTERS, PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL HAS NOT REPRESENTED THE INTERESTS OF ANY HOLDER IN THE PREPARATION AND/OR NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(a) Each Limited Partner, including each Additional Limited Partner and Substitute Limited Partner, irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner, any Liquidator, and authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact of each, and each of those acting singly, in each case with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its name, place and stead to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to:

(i) All certificates and other instruments (including counterparts of this Agreement), and all amendments thereto, which the General Partner deems appropriate to form, qualify, continue or otherwise operate the Partnership as a limited partnership (or other entity in which the Partners will have limited liability comparable to that provided in the Act), in the jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or in which such formation, qualification or continuation is, in the opinion of the General Partner, necessary or desirable to protect the limited liability of the Partners.

(ii) All amendments to this Agreement adopted in accordance with the terms hereof, and all instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect a change or modification of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) All conveyances of Partnership assets, and other instruments which the General Partner reasonably deems necessary in order to complete a dissolution and termination of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The appointment by all Limited Partners of the General Partner as attorney-in-fact shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Limited Partners and Assignees under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by it on behalf of the Partnership, shall survive the Incapacity of any Person hereby giving such power, and the Transfer or assignment of all or any portion of such Person’s Partnership Interest, and shall not be affected by the subsequent Incapacity of the principal; provided, however, that in the event of the assignment by a Limited Partner of all of its Partnership Interest, the foregoing power of attorney of an assignor Limited Partner shall survive such assignment only until such time as the Assignee shall have been admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner and all required documents and instruments shall have been duly executed, filed and recorded to effect such substitution.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the validity, interpretation, negotiation, performance, breach, alleged breach or termination of this Agreement (“Dispute”), shall be submitted to mandatory, final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration, except as modified herein. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. For the avoidance of doubt, all parties hereto irrevocably waive any defense or objection to the AAA forum.

(b) Any such arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the parties to the Dispute within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent to the arbitration of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the parties do not agree upon an arbitrator within this time limit, an arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Commercial Arbitration Rules, with each party being given a limited number of strikes, except for cause. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen years of experience with corporate and limited partnership matters. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the state of Delaware.

(c) The AAA arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the Dispute, and the award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding, and not subject to appeal. Judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not be permitted to award punitive, multiple or other non-compensatory damages. Any fees, expenses or costs (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incident to enforcing the award shall be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The parties to the Dispute will share equally the arbitration costs and bear their own fees and expenses except as directed by the arbitrator.

(d) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any documents disclosed by one party to another, testimony or other oral submission, and any award or decision) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrators, the AAA, the parties, their legal and professional advisors, and any person necessary for the conduct of the arbitration, except as may be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, or by law, regulatory or governmental authority. Any court proceedings relating to the arbitration hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to prevent or compel arbitration or to confirm, correct, vacate or otherwise enforce an arbitration award, shall be filed under seal with the court, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) Barring good cause shown (as determined in the sole discretion of the arbitrator), discovery shall be limited to pre-hearing disclosure of documents that each side will present in support of its case, and, in response to reasonable documents requests, non-privileged documents in the responding party’s possession, custody or control, not otherwise readily available to the party seeking the documents, and reasonably believed to exist, that may be relevant to the outcome of disputed issues.

(f) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect. In any such judicial action: each of the parties (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York (the “New York Courts”) for the purpose of any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement of any judgment on any award; (ii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Courts; (iii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; and (iv) each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury.

(g) Each Partner irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that any proceeding brought by such Partner under this Agreement may only be brought and maintained as an individual proceeding in such Partner’s individual capacity. Any claim brought by a Partner must be brought and maintained in such Partner’s individual capacity only and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. Each Partner waives the right to commence or participate in any group, representative, class or collective action and shall not be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

Section 15.4 Accounting and Fiscal Year. Subject to Code section 448, the books of the Partnership shall be kept on such method of accounting for tax and financial reporting purposes as may be determined by the General Partner. The fiscal year of the Partnership (the “Fiscal Year”) shall be the calendar year, or, in the case of the first and last Fiscal Years of the Partnership, the fraction thereof commencing on the date of this Agreement or ending on the date on which the winding up of the Partnership is completed, as the case may be, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner and permitted under the Code.

Section 15.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any side letter or similar agreements entered into and incorporated herein pursuant to Section 15.16 and the Professionals LPA, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and fully supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, including the Original Agreement.

Section 15.6 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto does hereby covenant and agree on behalf of itself, its successors, and its assigns, without further consideration, to prepare, execute, acknowledge, file, record, publish, and deliver such other instruments, documents and statements, and to take such other action as may be required by law or reasonably necessary to effectively carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, including its existence, validity, construction, and operating effect, and the rights of each of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.

Section 15.12 Confidentiality. A Limited Partner’s rights to access or receive any information about the Partnership or its business are conditioned on such Limited Partner’s willingness and ability to assure that the Partnership information will be used solely by such Limited Partner for purposes reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner, and that such Partnership information will not become publicly available as a result of such Limited Partner’s rights to access or receive such Partnership information. Each Limited Partner hereby acknowledges that the Partnership creates and will be in possession of confidential information, the improper use or disclosure of which could have a material adverse effect upon the PWP Entities and their respective Affiliates. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership information constitutes a valuable trade secret of the Partnership and agrees to maintain any Partnership information provided to it in the strictest confidence. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Notwithstanding Article VIII, the General Partner shall have the right to keep confidential from the Limited Partners (and their respective agents and attorneys) for such period of time as the General Partner deems reasonable, any information: (i) that the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets; (ii) other information, the disclosure of which the General Partner believes is not in the best interest of the PWP Entities or could damage any of the PWP Entities or their respective businesses; or (iii) which the General Partner (or its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, members, partners or personnel) or any PWP Entity is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential; provided, that the General Partner shall make available to a Limited Partner, upon reasonable request, information required by such Limited Partner to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as any requests from any federal or state regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, in no event shall the General Partner be required to disclose to any Limited Partner the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any other PWP Entity) unless it is required to do so by law applicable to it, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 15.12 or as required by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that the provisions of this Agreement, all of the information and documents described in Article VIII, all understandings, agreements and other arrangements between and among the parties (or any of them), and all other non-public information received from, or otherwise relating to, any PWP Entity, any Limited Partners, the General Partner and/or their respective Affiliates shall be confidential, and shall not disclose or otherwise release to any other Person (other than another party hereto) such matters, without the written consent of the General Partner.

(c) The confidentiality obligations of the parties under this Section 15.12 shall not apply to: (i) the disclosure by a Limited Partner of information to the other Limited Partners or such Limited Partner’s Affiliates, partners, officers, agents, board members, trustees, attorneys, auditors, employees, prospective transferees permitted hereunder, financial advisors and other professional advisors (provided, that such prospective transferees and other Persons agree to hold confidential such information substantially in accordance with this Section 15.12 or are otherwise bound by a duty of confidentiality to such Limited Partner) solely on a need-to-know basis, which Persons shall be bound by this Section 15.12 as if they were Limited Partners; (ii) information already known to the general public at the time of disclosure or that became known prior to such disclosure through no act or omission by any Limited Partner (or any investor in any other PWP Entity) or any Person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing; (iii) information received from a source not bound by a duty of confidentiality to any PWP Entity, any Partner or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (iv) any party to the extent that the disclosure by such party of information otherwise determined to be confidential is required by applicable law (foreign or domestic) or legal process (including pursuant to an arbitration proceeding), or by any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body with jurisdiction over such party; (v) disclosures made in connection with any lawsuit initiated to enforce any rights granted under this Agreement or any side letter entered into pursuant to Section 15.16; or (vi) the disclosure of confidential information to rating agencies to the extent such disclosure is required by such rating agencies; provided, that prior to disclosing such confidential information, a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify the General Partner thereof, which notice shall include the basis upon which such party believes the information is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 15.12(c) permit any Limited Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any other PWP Entity), without the prior written consent of the General Partner (which may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole discretion) unless the Limited Partner delivers to the General Partner a written opinion of counsel to the Limited Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the General Partner) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

(d) To the extent that a Limited Partner is subject to the United States Freedom of Information Act or any similar public disclosure or public records act statutes: (i) such Limited Partner acknowledges the General Partner’s and the Partnership’s position that the information intended to be protected by the provisions of Section 15.12(a) and Section 15.12(b) constitutes or includes sensitive financial data, proprietary data, commercial and financial information and/or trade secrets that are being provided to and/or entered into with the Limited Partner with the specific understanding that such documents and information will remain confidential; (ii) the General Partner advises each such Limited Partner that the documents and information intended to be protected by the provisions of Section 15.12(a) and Section 15.12(b) would not be supplied to such Limited Partner without an understanding that such documents and information will be held and treated by such Limited Partner as confidential information; and (iii) to the extent that such Limited Partner is nevertheless required to disclose any such confidential information, (A) such Limited Partner shall, unless legally prohibited, give the General Partner prior notice of any such required disclosure and (B) such Limited Partner shall in any event maintain the confidentiality of the Partnership’s information (including this Agreement) to at least the same extent as, and in a manner no less favorable to the Partnership and the General Partner than the manner in which, it maintains the confidentiality of comparable information in respect of any other private investment vehicles in which such Limited Partner invests (whether such vehicles are focused on private investments, public investments or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 15.12(d) permit any Limited Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any other PWP Entity), without the prior written consent of the General Partner (which may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole discretion) unless the Limited Partner delivers to the General Partner a written opinion of counsel to the Limited Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the General Partner) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

(e) The Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Limited Partner under this Section 15.12 to maintain the confidentiality of the information described herein. The remedies provided for in this Section 15.12 are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Partnership or the General Partner provided by law or equity, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by or among one or more of the Limited Partners and/or the Partnership. Each Limited Partner expressly acknowledges that the remedy at law for damages resulting from a breach of this Section 15.12 may be inadequate and that the Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to institute an action for specific performance of a Limited Partner’s obligations hereunder. The General Partner shall be entitled to consider the different circumstances of different Limited Partners with respect to the restrictions and obligations imposed on Limited Partners hereunder to the full extent permitted by law, and, to the full extent permitted by law, the General Partner may, in its good faith discretion, waive or modify such restrictions and obligations with respect to a Limited Partner without waiving or modifying such restrictions and obligations for other Limited Partners.

(f) In addition, to the full extent permitted by law, each Limited Partner agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each Indemnitee against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys’ fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Partnership or any such Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Partnership or any such Indemnitee may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which the Partnership or any such Indemnitee shall be threatened, by reason of the Limited Partner’s obligations (or breach thereof) set forth in this Section 15.12.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including this Section 15.12), the Special Limited Partner may disclose any confidential information otherwise subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 15.12 to any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory or self-regulatory body or any securities exchange or listing authority to the extent required or requested by such body, exchange or authority, or as necessary and appropriate in connection with filings, or as otherwise legally required.

Each such Limited Partner shall also have such Consent by Spouse executed by any spouse married to him or her at any time subsequent thereto while such natural person is a Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner agrees and acknowledges that compliance with the requirements of this Section 15.14 by each other Limited Partner constitutes an essential part of the consideration for his or her execution of this Agreement.

Section 15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy and all of which shall constitute one agreement, binding on all parties hereto.

Section 15.16 Other Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 13.2), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership shall have the power and authority, without any further act, approval or vote of any Limited Partner or other Person, to enter into any side letter or similar agreement to or with a Limited Partner, that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Limited Partner (in its capacity as a Limited Partner) in a manner more favorable in a material respect to such Limited Partner than the rights and benefits established under, or otherwise altering or supplementing the terms of, this Agreement.

Section 15.17 Survival. The provisions of Section 6.6 and Article XV (and any other provisions herein necessary for the effectiveness of the foregoing sections) shall survive the termination of the Partnership.

Such Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and reasonably requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. If, at any time the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any other form which permits incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission and at such time the Company has an outstanding Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1, then the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical, convert such outstanding Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 into a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3.

The Demanding Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such Underwritten Offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). The Company, subject to Section 2.1.3, shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within five (5) days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request), but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of any Demanding Holders, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holders or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Demanding Holders may request, and the Company shall be required to facilitate, (i) an aggregate of three (3) Shelf Underwritings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(b) with respect to any or all Registrable Securities held by the Initial Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees, (ii) an aggregate of one (1) Shelf Underwriting pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(b) with respect to any or all Registrable Securities held by the ILPs and their Permitted Transferees and (iii) not more than four (4) Shelf Underwritings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(b) in any twelve-month period with respect to any or all Registrable Securities held by any other Demanding Holder; provided, however, that, in each case, a Shelf Underwriting shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders in such Shelf Underwriting have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Shelf Underwritings the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Demand Registration effected for such Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade; provided, however, that the Demanding Holder requesting such Underwritten Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

2.1.2 Other Demand Registration. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2.1.1(a) is not available for use by the Holders following such Shelf Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission (a “Demand Registration Period”), subject to this Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, at any time and from time to time during such Demand Registration Period, the Demanding Holders shall have the right to make a written demand from time to time to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, by delivering a written demand therefor to the Company, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. Any such request by any Demanding Holder pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration” (with respect to any Demand Registration, the Demanding Holders making such demand for registration being referred to as the “Initiating Holders”).

The Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request. The Company, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders and (y) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to Section 2.1.2 (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within five (5) days following the receipt of any such Demand Exercise Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable best efforts to (x) file or confidentially submit with the Commission (no later than (A) sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration or (B) thirty (30) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration), (y) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, for distribution in accordance with the intended method of distribution and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration.

2.1.3 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and any other Holders participating in the Underwritten Registration (if any) (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that such Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows:

(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have collectively requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.4.

2.2.1 Piggy-back Rights. If, at any time on or after the date hereof, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer, as part of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction or for an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, (v) filed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or (vi) filed in connection with an Underwritten Block Trade for its own account, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggy-back Registration”).

All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration at any time in its sole discretion.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggy-back Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggy-back Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggy-back Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy- back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner;

(C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggy-back Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggy-back Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggy-back Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggy-back Registration. The Company (in its sole discretion or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may postpone or withdraw the filing or effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggy-back Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggy-back Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration or a previous Piggy-back Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein, if any. If in the good faith judgment of the Board, Registration would be detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten Offering, then in such event, the Company shall have the right to defer its obligation for up to 120 days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any period of twelve consecutive months.

2.4 Lock-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Underwriting, Demand Registration or Piggy-back Registration of (i) any Founder Shares subject to the Founder Lock-Up Period prior to the expiration of the Founder Lock-Up Period applicable to such Founder Shares, (ii) any Placement Units, Placement Shares or Placement Warrants during the Placement Unit Lock-Up Period or (iii) any Registrable Securities held by the Legacy PWP Stockholders prior to the expiration or waiver of any applicable lock-up restrictions with the Company (including any restrictions on the exchange of a Holder’s OP Units as set forth under the Holdings LPA). Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall limit the Company’s obligation to register any of the Registrable Securities, including such Founder Shares, Placement Units, Placement Shares and Placement Warrants and Registrable Securities held by any Legacy PWP Stockholders, on the Shelf Registration Statement required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a).

2.5 Synthetic Secondary Transactions. The Company may, in its sole discretion, fulfill its obligations to effect a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration under Section 2.1 and any Piggy-Back Registration under Section 2.2 for any Holder (other than the Initial Stockholders or their Permitted Transferees) by selling newly issued shares of Common Stock, the proceeds of which will be used to purchase a number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities (or redeem such number of OP Units held by the Holder that are exchangeable into such Registrable Securities) at the closing of the offering at a price per share equal to the price per share of Common Stock received by the Company (net of all underwriting discounts and commissions) in such offering and to pay related offering expenses (such sale, a “Synthetic Secondary Transaction”). If the Company elects to conduct a Synthetic Secondary Transaction with respect to a Holder’s Registrable Securities, such Holder shall execute and deliver a purchase agreement and other documents and instruments in such form and substance as is reasonably requested by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Synthetic Secondary Transaction may be conducted in combination with sales directly by the Holder pursuant to its rights hereunder.

3.1.13 if the Registration involves the Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $40,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter thereof; and

3.1.14 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and fees, applicable transfer taxes and expenses of legal counsel representing the Holders in excess or in addition to the legal fees and expenses included as Registration Expenses.

3.3.1 The Company may require each participating Holder promptly to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required or the Company may deem reasonably advisable in connection with such Registration and shall not have any obligation to include a Holder on any Registration Statement if such information is not promptly provided.

3.3.2 The Company shall have the right to select an Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with any Underwritten Offering; provided that, if the Sponsor participates in such Underwritten Offering, then the Company shall request and consider in good faith any Underwriter or Underwriters requested by Sponsor to be included in the syndicate of Underwriters for such Underwritten Offering. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the time of such notice) and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of (i) financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (ii) audited financial statements as of a date other than the Company’s fiscal year end (unless the Holders requesting Registration agree to pay the reasonable expenses of this audit), or (iii) pro forma financial statements that are required to be included in a registration statement, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, such Registration Statement for no more than 90 days per delay or suspension or more than 150 total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to use reasonable best efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly upon request by a Holder furnish such Holder with true and complete copies of such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any reasonably requested legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

3.6 Additional Shares. The Company, at its option, may register, under any Registration Statement and any filings under any state securities laws filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued, treasury or other shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company owned by any other security holder or security holders of the Company.

3.7 Cessation of Obligation to Register. Each Holder that holds OP Units acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company’s obligations under this Agreement to register Registrable Securities issued or issuable to a Holder in exchange for OP Units pursuant to the Holdings LPA (but not Registrable Securities held by a Holder as of the date hereof) shall only apply to the extent that the Company elects to issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for OP Units tendered for redemption pursuant to the Holdings LPA and (ii) the Company shall have no such obligations with respect to such Registrable Securities at any time that it agrees that it will cause or permit Holdings to redeem for cash any OP Units tendered for redemption pursuant to the Holdings LPA.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating (including any Synthetic Secondary Transaction effected with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities), such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.1 Notices. Any notice or communication under this Agreement must be in writing and given by (i) deposit in the United States mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) delivery in person or by courier service providing evidence of delivery, or (iii) transmission by hand delivery, electronic mail or facsimile. Each notice or communication that is mailed, delivered, or transmitted in the manner described above shall be deemed sufficiently given, served, sent, and received, in the case of mailed notices, on the third business day following the date on which it is mailed and, in the case of notices delivered by courier service, hand delivery, electronic mail or facsimile, at such time as it is delivered to the addressee (with the delivery receipt of the intended recipient or the affidavit of messenger) or at such time as delivery is refused by the addressee upon presentation.

The Company shall make customary arrangements to cause any Voting Securities issued in uncertificated form to be identified on the books of the Company in a substantially similar manner.

(a) The Company and each Stockholder shall take all reasonable actions within their respective control (including, with respect to Stockholders, voting or causing to be voted all of the Voting Securities held of record by such Stockholder or Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder by virtue of having voting power over such Voting Securities (including by causing their respective Voting Securities to be present, in person or by proxy, for quorum purposes at any Company stockholder meeting at which directors shall be elected), and, with respect to the Company, as provided in Sections 4.1(c), 4.1(d) and 4.1(e)) so as to cause:

(i) at any time during which either the Class B Condition or the Secondary Class B Condition is satisfied, to continue in office, not more than fifteen (15) directors (or such other number of directors as Professionals may agree to in writing);

(ii) at any time during which the Class B Condition is satisfied, a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board to be individuals designated by Professionals; and

(iii) at any time during which the Class B Condition is no longer satisfied and the Secondary Class B Condition is satisfied, a number of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to one third of the Board to be individuals designated by Professionals.

(b) For so long as the Class B Condition or the Secondary Class B Condition is satisfied, if Professionals notifies the Stockholders of its desire to remove, with or without cause, any director previously designated by it, the Stockholders shall vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Voting Securities held of record by such Stockholders or Beneficially Owned by such Stockholders by virtue of having voting power over such Voting Securities and take all other reasonable actions within its control to cause the removal of such director.

(d) Any person designated by Professionals in accordance with Section 4.1(a) shall be subject to (a) the reasonable approval of the Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee (if there be one) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (b) the satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements (including those contained in the By-Laws) regarding service as a director of the Company; provided, that the Company shall at the request of Professionals so long as such request is not inconsistent with applicable law or exchange requirements, amend, modify or waive any such requirements so as not to any way impede the right of Professionals to nominate directors.

(e) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director who is designated by Professionals in accordance with Section 4.1(a), the Company agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as practicable by a new designee of Professionals. In the event that the size of the Board is expanded to more than fifteen (15) directors, the Company agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the Board to continue to have the number of the designees of Professionals that corresponds to the requirements of Section 4.1(a).

(f) In the event that at any time the number of directors entitled to be designated by Professionals pursuant to Section 4.1(a) decreases, Professionals and the Stockholders shall take reasonable actions to cause a sufficient number of designated directors to resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such designated director’s term such that the number of designated directors after such resignation(s) equals the number of directors Professionals would have been entitled to designate pursuant to Section 4.1(a). Any vacancies created by such resignation may remain vacant until the next annual meeting of stockholders or filled by a majority vote of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such designated director(s) need not resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such director’s term if the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee recommends the nomination of such director(s) for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such director’s term, or otherwise (and for the avoidance of doubt, such director shall no longer be considered a designee of Professionals).

Section 4.2 Committees. For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall take all reasonable actions within its control at any given time so as to cause to be appointed to any committee of the Board a number of directors designated by Professionals that is up to the number of directors that is proportionate (rounding up to the next whole director) to the representation that Professionals is entitled to designate to the Board under this Agreement, to the extent such directors are permitted to serve on such committees under the applicable rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market or by any other applicable stock exchange. It is understood by the parties hereto that Professionals shall not be required to have its directors represented on any committee and any failure to exercise such right in this Section 4.2 in a prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.

Section 4.3 No Liability to Professionals. Neither Professionals, nor any Affiliate of Professionals, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for nomination for election as a director, nor for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor as a result of voting for any such designated nominee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Within 225 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income tax return of the Corporation for each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has been effected, the Corporation shall deliver to the Applicable Partner a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, for purposes of Taxes, (i) the actual unadjusted tax basis of the Adjusted Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, (ii) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year and all prior Taxable Years, calculated (a) in the aggregate and (b) solely with respect to Exchanges by the Applicable Partner, (iii) the period or periods, if any, over which the Adjusted Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable, and (iv) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable (which, for non-amortizable assets shall be based on the Valuation Assumptions).

Section 2.02 Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 225 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income tax return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporation shall provide to the Applicable Partner a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement and may be amended as provided in Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(a)).

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to the Applicable Partner an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (x) deliver to the Applicable Partner schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow the Applicable Partner reasonable access during normal business hours at no cost to the appropriate representatives of the Corporation and its Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment thereto or within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, the Applicable Partner provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice (i) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to an Exchange Basis Schedule, or (ii) within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to a Tax Benefit Schedule, after such Schedule was delivered to the Applicable Partner, the Corporation and the Applicable Partner shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year shall be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material 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 the Applicable Partner or the correction of computational errors set forth in such Schedule, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material 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, (v) to reflect a material 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 (vi) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

(a) Within fifteen (15) calendar days of a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to an Applicable Partner becoming final in accordance with Section 2.03(a), or earlier in the Corporation’s discretion, the Corporation shall pay to the Applicable Partner for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b) in the amount Attributable to the Applicable Partner. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Partner previously designated by such Applicable Partner to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal income tax payments.

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The “Net Tax Benefit” for each Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.01, excluding payments attributable to the Interest Amount; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, no Applicable Partner shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount” for a given Taxable Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable Year until the Payment Date. In the case of a Tax Benefit Payment made in respect of an Amended Schedule, the “Interest Amount” shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the date of such Amended Schedule becoming final in accordance with Section 2.03(a) until the Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments paid with respect to Class A Units that were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated by using Valuation Assumptions (1), (3), and (4), substituting in each case the terms “the date on which a Change of Control becomes effective” for an “Early Termination Date”. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange, on a Class A Unit-by-Class A Unit basis by reference to the Amount Realized by the Applicable Partner on the Exchange of a Class A Unit and the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporation.

Section 3.02 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the Corporation’s Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to the Applicable Partners pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner so that these fundamental results are achieved.

Section 3.03 Pro Rata Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent (i) the Corporation’s deductions with respect to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest are limited in a particular Taxable Year or (ii) the Corporation lacks sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, the limitation on the deductions, or the Tax Benefit Payments that may be made, as the case may be, shall be taken into account or made for the Applicable Partner in the same proportion as Tax Benefit Payments would have been made absent the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

(a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Class A Units held (or previously held and distributed or exchanged) by the Partnership and all Partners at any time by paying to the Partners the Early Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all Partners, and provided, further, that the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation, neither the OP nor the Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Partners, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and a Partner as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation makes the Early Termination Payment with respect to all Partners, the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such case shall be its obligations to all Partners under Section 4.03(a).

(b) In the event that the 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 does not cure such breach within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice of such breach from a Partner, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and any Partner as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement, and this Section 4.01(b) applies, the Partners shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2), and (3), above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three 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 will 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 months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporation has insufficient funds, and cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain sufficient funds, to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.02 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporation does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case, Section 5.02 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).

(c) The undersigned parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the timing, amounts, and aggregate value of Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to this Agreement are not reasonably ascertainable.

Section 4.02 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, the Corporation shall deliver to each Partner notice of such intention to exercise such right (the “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The applicable Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless a Partner, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and such Partner shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement.

Section 4.03 Payment upon Early Termination. (a) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after agreement between a Partner and the Corporation of the Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall pay to such Partner an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by such Partner.

(b) The “Early Termination Payment” for any Partner, as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule, shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation to such Partner beginning on the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

Section 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporation to a Partner or to all Partners under this Agreement (an “Exchange Payment”) shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest, or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporation (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations.

Section 5.02 Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Exchange Payment not made to any Partner when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing on the date on which such Exchange Payment was due and payable.

Section 6.01 Partner Participation in the Corporation’s and OP’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation and the OP, including without limitation the preparation, filing, or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting, or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify the Partners of, and keep the Partners reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporation and the OP by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the Partners’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall provide to the Partners reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporation, the OP and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporation and the OP shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the OP Agreement.

Section 6.02 Consistency. Unless there is a Determination or the opinion of an Advisory Firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and the Partnership providing otherwise, the Corporation and the Partners agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including without limitation the Basis Adjustment and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporation in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this Agreement. Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.09. In the event that an Advisory Firm is replaced with another Advisory Firm, such replacement Advisory Firm shall perform its services under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm, unless otherwise required by law or unless the Corporation and the Partnership agree to the use of other procedures and methodologies.

Section 6.03 Cooperation. Each Partner shall (a) furnish to the Corporation in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the 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 audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporation and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the Corporation or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporation shall reimburse each Partner for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section.

Section 7.01 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered in person or sent by email (provided a copy is thereafter promptly delivered by any other means as provided in this Section 7.01 or receipt is otherwise confirmed by the receiving party) or nationally recognized overnight courier, addressed to such party at the address or email address set forth below or such other address or email address as may hereafter be designated in writing by such party to the other parties:

the address and email address set forth for such Partner in the records of the Partnership or the OP, as applicable.

Any party may change its address or fax number by giving the other party written notice of its new address or fax number in the manner set forth above.

Section 7.02 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.03 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 7.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(a) No Partner (other than the Partnership or a Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement) may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that a Partner effectively transfers Class A Units to a party other than the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the OP Agreement, and any other agreements that the Partners may have entered into with each other, or a Partner may have entered into with the Corporation, the Partnership and/or the OP, the transferring party shall assign to the transferee of such Class A Units the transferring party’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Class A Units, and such transferee shall become a party to this Agreement, as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, agreeing to become a “Partner” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder, and (ii) once an Exchange has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to a Partner pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange may be assigned to any Person or Persons, as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12 and acknowledging specifically the second paragraph in this Section 7.06. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Partner or other Person transfers Class A Units to a Partner as may be permitted by any agreement to which the OP is a party, the Partner receiving such Class A Units shall have all rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Class A Units as such Partner has under this Agreement with respect to the other Class A Units held by such Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.06, no transferee described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 2.03, 4.02, 6.01 or 6.02 of this Agreement, and no assignee described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall have any rights under this Agreement except for the right to enforce its right to receive payments under this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the Corporation, the OP, and Partners who would be entitled to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of the Early Termination Payments payable to all Partners hereunder if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any Partner pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate adverse effect on the payments certain Partners will or may receive under this Agreement unless (i) such disproportionate effect is a result of tax laws imposed by government authorities in non-U.S. jurisdictions or (ii) all such Partners disproportionately affected 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.

(d) 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 Corporation shall require and 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 Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the validity, interpretation, performance, breach, alleged breach, negotiation or termination of this Agreement (“Dispute”), shall be submitted to mandatory, final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration, except as modified herein. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. For the avoidance of doubt, all parties hereto irrevocably waive any defense or objection to the AAA forum.

(b) Any such arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the parties to the Dispute within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent to the arbitration of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the parties do not agree upon an arbitrator within this time limit, an arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Commercial Arbitration Rules, with each party being given a limited number of strikes, except for cause. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen (15) years of experience with corporate and limited partnership matters. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the state of Delaware.

(d) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any documents disclosed by one party to another, testimony or other oral submission, and any award or decision) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrators, the AAA, the parties to the Dispute, their legal and professional advisors, and any person necessary for the conduct of the arbitration, except as may be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, or by law, regulatory or governmental authority. Any court proceedings relating to the arbitration hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to prevent or compel arbitration or to confirm, correct, vacate or otherwise enforce an arbitration award, shall be filed under seal with the court, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(f) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect. In any such judicial action: each of the parties (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York (the “New York Courts”) for the purpose of any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement of any judgment on any award; (ii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Courts; (iii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; and (iv) hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury.

Section 7.09 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and a Partner are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.03, 4.02, and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with either the Corporation or such Partner 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 Basis 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. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before the date 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, such payment shall be paid on the date such payment would be due and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation, except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and such Partner shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless such Partner has a prevailing position that is more than ten percent (10%) of the payment at issue, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse such Partner 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 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporation and such Partner and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Applicable Partner.

Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If the 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 state, local or foreign 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.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Corporation acquires one or more assets that, as of an Exchange Date, have not been contributed to the OP (other than the Corporation’s interests in the OP) (such assets, “Excluded Assets”), then all Tax Benefit Payments due hereunder shall be computed as if such assets had been contributed to the OP on the date such assets were first acquired by the Corporation; provided, however, that if an Excluded Asset consists of stock in a corporation, then, for purposes of this Section 7.11(b), such corporation (and any corporation Controlled by such corporation) shall be deemed to have contributed its assets to the OP on the date on which the Corporation acquired stock of such corporation.

(c) If any entity that is obligated to make an Exchange Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Exchange 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 asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset (as reasonably determined by the governing body, or the Person responsible for management, of such entity acting in good faith), plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality. A Partner’s rights to access or receive any information about the Corporation or its business are conditioned on such Partner’s willingness and ability to assure that the Corporation information will be used solely by such Partner for purposes reasonably related to such Partner’s interest as a Partner and that such Corporation information will not become publicly available as a result of such Partner’s rights to access or receive such Corporation information. Each Partner hereby acknowledges that the Corporation creates and will be in possession of confidential information, the improper use or disclosure of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP and their respective Affiliates. Each Partner further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation information constitutes a valuable trade secret of the Corporation and agrees to maintain any such information provided to it in the strictest confidence. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Notwithstanding Article II and Article VI, the Corporation shall have the right to keep confidential from the Partners (and their respective agents and attorneys) for such period of time as the Corporation deems reasonable, any information: (i) that the Corporation believes to be in the nature of trade secrets; (ii) other information, the disclosure of which the Corporation believes is not in the best interest of the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP or could damage the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or their respective businesses; or (iii) which the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP (or their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, members, partners or personnel) is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential; provided, that the Corporation shall make available to a Partner, upon reasonable request, information required by such Partner to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as any requests from any federal or state regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Partner. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, in no event shall the Corporation be required to disclose to any Partner the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or any of their respective Affiliates) unless it is required to do so by law applicable to it, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 7.12 or as required by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that the provisions of this Agreement, all of the information and documents described in Article II and Article VI, all understandings, agreements and other arrangements between and among the parties (or any of them), and all other non-public information received from, or otherwise relating to, any Partner, the OP, the Partnership, the Corporation and/or their respective Affiliates shall be confidential, and shall not disclose or otherwise release to any other Person such matters, without the written consent of the Corporation.

(c) The confidentiality obligations of the parties under this Section 7.12 shall not apply to: (i) the disclosure by a Partner of information to another Partner’s Affiliates, partners, officers, agents, board members, trustees, attorneys, auditors, employees, prospective transferees permitted hereunder, financial advisors and other professional advisors (provided, that such prospective transferees and other Persons agree to hold confidential such information substantially in accordance with this Section 7.12 or are otherwise bound by a duty of confidentiality to such Partner) solely on a need-to-know basis, which Persons shall be bound by this Section 7.12 as if they were Partners, as applicable; (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Partner to prepare and file his or her tax returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any taxing authority with respect to such returns; (iii) information already known to the general public at the time of disclosure or that became known prior to such disclosure through no act or omission by any Partner (or any investor in the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or any of their respective Affiliates) or any Person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing; (iv) information received from a source not bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP, any Partner or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (v) any party to the extent that the disclosure by such party of information otherwise determined to be confidential is required by applicable law (foreign or domestic) or legal process (including pursuant to an arbitration proceeding), or by any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body with jurisdiction over such party; (vi) disclosures made in connection with any lawsuit initiated to enforce any rights granted under this Agreement; or (vii) the disclosure of confidential information to rating agencies to the extent such disclosure is required by such rating agencies; provided, that prior to disclosing such confidential information, a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify the Corporation thereof, which notice shall include the basis upon which such party believes the information is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 7.12(c) permit any Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any the Corporation, the OP, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates), without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which may be given or withheld in the Corporation’s sole discretion) unless the applicable Partner delivers to the Corporation a written opinion of counsel to such Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

(d) To the extent that a Partner is subject to the United States Freedom of Information Act or any similar public disclosure or public records act statutes: (i) such Partner acknowledges the Corporation’s and the Corporation’s position that the information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) constitutes or includes sensitive financial data, proprietary data, commercial and financial information and/or trade secrets that are being provided to and/or entered into with such Partner with the specific understanding that such documents and information will remain confidential; (ii) the Corporation advises such Partner that the documents and information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) would not be supplied to such Partner without an understanding that such documents and information will be held and treated by such Partner as confidential information; and (iii) to the extent that such Partner is nevertheless required to disclose any such confidential information, (A) such Partner shall, unless legally prohibited, give the Corporation prior notice of any such required disclosure and (B) such Partner shall in any event maintain the confidentiality of the Corporation’s information (including this Agreement) to at least the same extent as, and in a manner no less favorable to the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP than the manner in which, it maintains the confidentiality of comparable information in respect of any other private investment vehicles in which such Partner invests (whether such vehicles are focused on private investments, public investments or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 7.12(d) permit any Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any other Affiliate of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP), without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which may be given or withheld in the Corporation’s sole discretion) unless such Partner delivers to the Corporation a written opinion of counsel to such Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

(e) The Corporation, the Partnership and the OP shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Partner under this Section 7.12 to maintain the confidentiality of the information described herein. The remedies provided for in this Section 7.12 are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Corporation or the Corporation provided by law or equity, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by or among one or more of the Partners and/or the Corporation. Each Partner expressly acknowledges that the remedy at law for damages resulting from a breach of this Section 7.12 may be inadequate and that the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP shall be entitled to institute an action for specific performance of a Partner’s obligations hereunder. The Corporation shall be entitled to consider the different circumstances of different Partners with respect to the restrictions and obligations imposed on Partners hereunder to the full extent permitted by law, and, to the full extent permitted by law, the Corporation may, in its good faith discretion, waive or modify such restrictions and obligations with respect to a Partner without waiving or modifying such restrictions and obligations for other Partners.

(f) In addition, to the full extent permitted by law, each Partner agrees to indemnify (i) the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP, (ii) any Person made, or threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding by reason of its status as a manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP, and (iii) such other Persons (including Affiliates, employees or agents of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP) as the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP may designate from time to time (whether before or after the event giving rise to potential liability) against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys’ fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Corporation or any such indemnified Person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Corporation or any such indemnified Person may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which the Corporation or any such indemnified Person shall be threatened, by reason of the Partner’s obligations (or breach thereof) set forth in this Section 7.12.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including this Section 7.12), a Partner may disclose any confidential information otherwise subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 7.12 to any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory or self-regulatory body or any securities exchange or listing authority to the extent required or requested by such body, exchange or authority, or as necessary and appropriate in connection with filings, or as otherwise legally required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Partner and assignee (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Partner or assignee, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of (x) the Corporation, the OP, the Partnership and their Affiliates and (y) any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Partners relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 7.13 OP Agreement. To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon the OP or a partner thereof, this Agreement shall be treated as part of the “partnership agreement” of the OP as described in section 761(c) of the Code and sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 7.14 Joinder. The Corporation hereby agrees that, to the extent it acquires a general partner interest, managing member interest or similar interest in any Person after the date hereof, it shall cause such Person to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of such interest, and such person shall be treated in the same manner as the OP for all purposes of this Agreement. The Corporation hereby agrees to cause any Corporate Entity that acquires an interest in the OP (or any entity described in the foregoing sentence) to execute a joinder to this Agreement (to the extent such Person is not already a party hereto) promptly upon such acquisition, and such Corporate Entity shall be treated in the same manner as the Corporation for all purposes of this Agreement. The OP shall have the power and authority (but not the obligation) to permit any Person who becomes a limited partner in the OP to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of limited partnership interests in the OP by such Person, and such Person shall be treated as a “Partner” for all purposes of this Agreement.

This SPONSOR SHARE SURRENDER AND SHARE RESTRICTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of December 29, 2020, by and among PWP Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“PWP”), FinTech Acquisition Corp. IV, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings IV”), FinTech Masala Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Masala” and together with Holdings IV, the “Sponsors”), and the other parties to the Insider Agreement (as defined below) set forth on the signature pages hereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Sponsors collectively are the holders of record and the “beneficial owners” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of (i) 610,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Class A Shares”), (ii) private placement warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 203,333 shares of Class A common stock of the Company and (iii) 7,870,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company (the “Class B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Sponsor Shares”) in the aggregate;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, PWP, the Company and certain other persons party thereto, have entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, whereby the parties thereto intend to effect a business combination between the Company and PWP, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation as in effect prior to the Closing, upon the Closing of the Transactions, each Class B Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time shall be converted into one share of Class A common stock of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Company and PWP to enter into the Transaction Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, the Sponsors are entering into this Agreement to provide for the surrender of certain of the Sponsor Shares and the imposition of certain restrictions on transfer with respect to other of the Sponsor Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.1 Share Surrender. Effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, Sponsors shall irrevocably forfeit and surrender to the Company, for no consideration, a number of Class B Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Transfer Shares”), which Transfer Shares shall thereupon be cancelled by the Company and no longer outstanding.

(a) Transfer Restrictions of the Restricted Shares. That certain letter agreement, dated as of September 24, 2020, among the Company, the Sponsors and the insiders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Insider Agreement”), provides, among other things, that certain of the Sponsor Shares shall only be transferable upon the happening of certain events. Notwithstanding, and in precedence to, the Insider Agreement, effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, the number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto (assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing) shall no longer be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Insider Agreement, but shall instead be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(b) (such shares, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares that are Class B Shares in connection with the Closing, the “Restricted Shares”). Restricted Shares shall continue to be Restricted Shares following their transfer to any Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined in the Insider Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer Shares, and any Class A Shares or Class B Shares held by the Sponsors from time to time that are not Restricted Shares, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 1.2.

(b) Timing and Lapse of Transfer Restrictions. As used, herein, “6-Month Anniversary” means the date that is the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, “Stock Price” means, on any date after the Closing, the closing sale price per share of Class A Common Stock reported as of 4:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such date by Bloomberg, or if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar and “Trading Day” means any day on which trading is generally conducted on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other exchange on which the Class A Shares are traded and published.

(i) Until the 6-Month Anniversary, all of the Class A Shares held by each Sponsor (the “6-Month Class A Shares”), and twenty percent (20.00%) of the Restricted Shares of each Sponsor that are Class B Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “6-Month Class B Shares”), as identified on Schedule I hereto, shall not be transferable or salable except as provided in the Insider Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 3(d) of the Insider Agreement).

(ii) Until the later of (x) the 6-Month Anniversary and (y) the date that is 15 days following the first date that the Stock Price is greater than $12.00 per share for any 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days, twenty percent (20.00%) of the Restricted Shares that are Class B Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “$12.00 Class B Shares”), as identified on Schedule I hereto, shall not be transferable or salable except as provided in the Insider Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 3(d) of the Insider Agreement).

(iii) Until the later of (x) the 6-Month Anniversary and (y) the first date that the Stock Price is greater than $13.50 per share for any 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days, twenty percent (20.00%) of the Restricted Shares that are Class B Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “$13.50 Class B Shares”), as identified on Schedule I hereto, shall not be transferable or salable except as provided in the Insider Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 3(d) of the Insider Agreement).

(iv) Until the later of (x) the 6-Month Anniversary and (y) the date that is 15 days following the first date that the Stock Price is greater than $15.00 per share for any 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days, twenty percent (20.00%) of the Restricted Shares that are Class B Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “$15.00 Class B Shares”), as identified on Schedule I hereto, shall not be transferable or salable except as provided in the Insider Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 3(d) of the Insider Agreement).

(v) Until the later of (x) the 6-Month Anniversary and (y) the first date that the Stock Price is greater than $17.00 per share for any 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days, twenty percent (20.00%) of the Restricted Shares that are Class B Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “$17.00 Class B Shares”), as identified on Schedule I hereto, shall not be transferable or salable except as provided in the Insider Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 3(d) of the Insider Agreement).

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, each Sponsor shall be entitled to vote its Restricted Shares and receive dividends and other distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares during any period of time that such shares are subject to restriction on transfer or sale hereunder.

(vii) In the event that a Sponsor transfers Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2(b), the recipient shall deliver a customary joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and PWP, and become bound by the transfer restrictions and sale obligations set forth herein, including Section 1.3.

(c) Termination of Restrictions upon a Liquidation Event. If a Liquidation Event occurs following the Closing, any restrictions on transfer on the Restricted Shares then remaining (under this Agreement or the Insider Agreement) shall terminate as of immediately prior to the occurrence of such Liquidation Event. As used herein, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, sale of substantially all assets or other similar transaction involving the Company upon the consummation of which holders of Common Stock would be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property or that results in a change of the majority of the board of directors or management team of the Company or the general partner of the Company.

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If, between the Closing and a Liquidation Event, the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction affecting the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Common Stock will be equitably adjusted for such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction. Any adjustment under this Section 1.2(d) shall become effective at the date and time that such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction became effective. For the avoidance of doubt, no change of units or shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement shall constitute a stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or similar transaction requiring an equitable adjustment.

(a) $12.00 Sale Trigger. If, prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stock Price is greater than $12.00 per share for any 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “$12.00 Sale Trigger Date”), then, during the 15 day period following the $12.00 Sale Trigger Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase from each Sponsor up to the number of $12.00 Class B Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto, not to exceed 1,000,000 in the aggregate, for a purchase price of $12.00 per share (the “$12.00 Repurchase Shares”), by providing written notice of such repurchase election to each Sponsor; provided that this right shall not be exercisable at any time during which a written agreement for a transaction constituting a change of control or similar Liquidation Event with respect to the Company is pending.

(b) $15.00 Sale Trigger. If, prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stock Price is greater than $15.00 per share for any period of 20 Trading Days out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “$15.00 Sale Trigger Date”), then, during the 15 day period following the $15.00 Sale Trigger Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase from each Sponsor up to the number of $15.00 Class B Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto, not to exceed 1,000,000 in the aggregate (separately and in addition to the $12.00 Repurchase Shares), for a purchase price of $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Repurchase Shares”), by providing written notice of such repurchase election to each Sponsor; provided that this right shall not be exercisable at any time during which a written agreement for a transaction constituting a change of control or similar Liquidation Event with respect to the Company is pending.

(c) Repurchase Mechanics. If the Company provides valid and timely written notice of an election to repurchase $12.00 Repurchase Shares or $15.00 Repurchase Shares, as applicable, such repurchase shall be consummated within five business days after the date of such written notice, shall be documented by a share assignment in the Transfer Agent’s standard form, with the purchase price therefor paid in cash by wire transfer of readily available funds to an account designated by each Sponsor, as applicable, and in connection therewith, the Company and each Sponsor shall take or cause to be taken all such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate such repurchase; provided, however, that neither Sponsor shall be required to make or provide any representations or warranties other than customary representations regarding its title to, ownership of, and ability to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock being sold to the Company.

1.4 Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection. Sponsors, who together are holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Pre-Combination Class B Common Stock, hereby waive, pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of the Parent Certificate, any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in Section 4.03(b)(ii) of the Parent Certificate, and any rights to other anti-dilution protections with respect to the Pre-Combination Class B Common Stock, that may result from the PIPE Investment and/or the consummation of the Transactions.

2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Sponsors. Each Sponsor represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Company (solely with respect to itself and not with respect to any other Sponsor) as follows:

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. Such Sponsor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Sponsor's corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Sponsor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Sponsor, enforceable against such Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting creditors' rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

(b) Ownership. Sponsors are the record and beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and have good title to, all of the Sponsor Shares set forth on Schedule I and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Sponsor Shares (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such Sponsor Shares, other than any Permitted Liens or pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, (iii) the Transaction Agreement, (iv) the Insider Agreement, and agreements to transfer certain of the Sponsor Shares upon consummation of the Transactions that are permitted under the Insider Agreement, (v) the Support Agreement or (vi) any applicable securities laws. Other than the Warrants and pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, such Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of the Company or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of the Company.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Sponsor does not, and the performance by such Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any contract binding upon such Sponsor or such Sponsor's Sponsor Shares), in each case to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Sponsor has full right and power to enter into this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There are no Legal Proceedings pending against such Sponsor, or to the knowledge of such Sponsor threatened against such Sponsor, before (or, in the case of threatened Legal Proceedings, that would be before) any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement and all of its provisions shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms. If the Closing takes place, this Agreement and all of its surviving provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect once all of the Restricted Shares are no longer subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.2 hereof.

3.2 Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and any disputes (whether in contract, tort or statute) arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably agree that all such claims shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware federal or state court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive.

3.5 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the chancery court or any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware.

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, FTIV and the PWP Entities have entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), whereby the parties intend to effect a business combination between FTIV and PWP Holdings LP, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Transactions”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. As used herein, the term “Voting Shares” shall mean, taken together, (i) all securities of FTIV beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, excluding shares of stock underlying unexercised options or warrants, but including any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants) (“Beneficially Owned” or “Beneficial Ownership”) by any Voting Party, including any and all securities of FTIV acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof (“FTIV Voting Shares”) and (ii) all securities of the PWP Entities Beneficially Owned by any Voting Party, including any and all securities of the PWP Entities acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof (the “PWP Entities Voting Interests”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Voting Parties. Each Voting Party on its own behalf hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto, severally and not jointly, with respect to such Voting Party and such Voting Party’s ownership of its Voting Shares set forth on Annex A as follows:

a. Authority. If Voting Party is a legal entity, Voting Party has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform fully Voting Party’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Voting Party is a natural person, Voting Party has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If Voting Party is a legal entity, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Voting Party. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Voting Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

b. No Consent. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other Person on the part of Voting Party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

If Voting Party is a trust, no consent of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

c. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, Voting Party’s organizational documents, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Voting Party or to Voting Party’s property or assets (including the Voting Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to prevent Voting Party from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

d. Ownership of Shares. Voting Party (i) Beneficially Owns its Voting Shares free and clear of all Liens and (ii) has the sole power to vote or caused to be voted its Voting Shares. Except pursuant hereto and pursuant to (i) that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2020, by and between certain stockholders of FTIV and FTIV, and (ii) the limited liability company agreement of each Sponsor, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Voting Party is a party relating to the pledge, acquisition, disposition, transfer or voting of Voting Shares prior to the consummation of the Transactions and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Voting Shares.

e. No Litigation.

Each Voting Party shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Voting Party shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Voting Party with respect to the Voting Shares. The power of attorney granted by Voting Party herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Voting Party. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

d. From time to time, at the request of the PWP Entities, each PWP Entities Holder shall take, and at the request of FTIV, each FTIV Holder shall take, all such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, effect the purposes of this Agreement, and execute customary documents incident to the consummation of the Transactions.

4. No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Each Voting Party agrees that during the term of this Agreement Voting Party will not, and will not permit any entity under Voting Party’s control to, deposit any Voting Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Voting Shares or subject any of the Voting Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Voting Shares. Each Voting Party hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and attorneys in fact with respect to the Voting Shares.

5. Transfer and Encumbrance. Each Voting Party agrees that during the term of this Agreement Voting Party will not, directly or indirectly, transfer (including by operation of law), sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of his, her or its Voting Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of his, her or its Voting Shares or Voting Party’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Voting Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of Voting Shares by any Voting Party to (a) an executive officer or director of FTIV, (b) a Person holding more than 5% of the voting equity securities of the PWP Entities or FTIV, (c) any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by or under common management or control with such Voting Party or affiliates of such Voting Party, (d) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of such Voting Party, (e) to a “permitted transferee” under the Insider Letter, dated September 24, 2020, by and among FTIV and certain security holders, officers and directors of FTIV or (f) if such Voting Party is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, any stockholder, member, partner or trust beneficiary as part of a distribution; provided, however, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to FTIV and the Company, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

6. Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. Each Voting Party hereby (i) waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Transactions that Voting Party may have by virtue of ownership of the PWP Entities Voting Interests and (ii) agrees not to commence or participate in any claim, derivative or otherwise, against the Company relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including any claim (1) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (2) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or the Transactions.

7. Redemption and Registration Rights. Each FTIV Holder agrees not to exercise any right to redeem any FTIV Voting Shares Beneficially Owned as of the date hereof or acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof.

Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any party of liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.

10. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Each Voting Party is signing this Agreement solely in its capacity as a stockholder of FTIV or the PWP Entities, as applicable. No Voting Party makes any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Voting Party’s capacity (or in the capacity of any Affiliate, partner or employee of Voting Party) as a director or officer of FTIV, the PWP Entities or any of their respective subsidiaries (if Voting Party holds such office). Nothing in this Agreement will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by a Voting Party in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of FTIV or the PWP Entities, and no actions or omissions taken in any Voting Party’s capacity as a director or officer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict a Voting Party from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director to FTIV, the PWP Entities or their respective stockholders, as applicable.

11. Specific Enforcement. Monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Agreement by any party hereto and, accordingly, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, in addition to any other remedy to which such injured party is entited at law or in equity, and that any breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreement supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contain the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

13. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, or (d) on the next Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on Annex A (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 11).

a. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and any disputes (whether in contract, tort or statute) arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties hereto irrevocably agree that all such claims shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware federal or state court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive. Each party hereto hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that it is not subject to such jurisdiction, or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

c. Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

d. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic, facsimile or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a mutually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

e. Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and table of contents in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not in any way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

f. Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives, and nothing herein, express or implied, it intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
