(c) To the knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, no third party is infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating, and in the last two (2) years, no third party has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, any ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Transferred IP.

Section 7.08. Sand Contracts.

(a) In connection with the contribution of the Unimin Sand Contract to the Company as a Baker Hughes Transferred Contract, subject to Section 7.08(b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (as defined in the Unimin Sand Contract) to purchase all of its and its Subsidiaries’ White Sand requirements up to the Minimum (as defined in the

Unimin Sand Contract) from Unimin pursuant to the Unimin Sand Contract during the Term (as defined in the Unimin Sand Contract), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply to the use by the Company and its Subsidiaries of Brown Sand or in connection with any activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries where any customer thereof is providing White Sand or other materials required for work performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Following the date hereof, the Company and Baker Hughes will cooperate in good faith to renegotiate with Unimin the Unimin Sand Contract to reflect terms that are mutually agreeable to both the Company and Baker Hughes in their respective sole discretions. If the Unimin Sand Contract is amended following the Closing in any manner that would adversely impact Baker Hughes, the provisions of this Section 7.08 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(b) In the event that during the Term the Company identifies White Sand that it reasonably believes it will utilize in connection with its operations that is available for acquisition from a provider other than Unimin (“Alternative White Sand”) at a total cost to the Company for delivery to the applicable well-site (“Well-Site Cost”) that is lower than the applicable Well-Site Cost offered by Unimin based on a written quote from Unimin within the prior two Business Day period, the Company shall notify the applicable representatives of Baker Hughes set forth in Section 7.08 of the Baker Hughes Disclosure Schedules (or otherwise as identified in writing to the Company following the Closing) and provide reasonable evidence (it being understood by the parties that it shall not be reasonable to share information subject to confidentiality restrictions; provided that that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements in such circumstances) of the lower Well-Site Cost of the Alternative White Sand as compared to the Well-Site Cost of the Unimin White Sand (the difference between the Well-Site Cost of such Alternative White Sand and the Well-Site Cost of such Unimin Sand, the “Cost Differential”). Baker Hughes shall have a period of two (2) Business Days to respond to the Company with its binding written election to (i) allow the Company to proceed with the acquisition of the applicable Alternative White Sand or (ii) require the Company to acquire the applicable Unimin White Sand despite its higher Well-Site Cost (such requirement described in this clause (ii), a “BH Unimin Purchase Requirement”). No later than five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, the Company shall provide Baker Hughes with written notice setting forth the amount of the aggregate Cost Differential resulting from all BH Unimin Purchase Requirements in the prior month (the “Monthly Unimin True-Up Payment”), along with reasonable supporting documentation. No later than five (5) Business Days following delivery of such notice, Baker Hughes shall deliver, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer, the Monthly Unimin True-Up Payment to a Company bank account based on the wiring instructions set forth in such notice.

(c) No later than ten (10) Business Days following the end of each calendar year during the Term, the Company shall provide Baker Hughes with a certificate (the “Annual Unimin Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail its purchases during the prior calendar year of all White Sand from Unimin, its purchases of all White Sand from all other providers, if any, and the calculation of any Shortfall Volume (as defined in the Unimin Sand Contract), if any, and the calculation of any Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Unimin Sand Contract), if any, payable to Unimin that did not arise as a result of the Partner’s or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations in Section 7.08(a) (“Reimbursable Liquidated Damages”). In the event that any Reimbursable Liquidated Damages are payable to Unimin as set forth in the

Annual Unimin Certificate, Baker Hughes shall deliver, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer, an amount equal to such Reimbursable Liquidated Damages to a Company bank account based on the wiring instructions set forth in such notice no later than five (5) Business Days following delivery of the Annual Unimin Certificate. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, the Company shall provide Baker Hughes with a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail its purchases during the year-to-date of all White Sand from Unimin, its purchases of all White Sand from all other providers, if any, and the calculation of any Shortfall Volume, if any, and the calculation of any Liquidated Damages.

Section 7.09. Master Services Agreement. After the Closing Date, upon the Company’s reasonable request, Baker Hughes shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for introductory meetings necessary to facilitate the Company’s entry into master services agreements (other than Baker Hughes Transferred MSAs) with customers of the Baker Hughes Contributed Business necessary or desirable for the operation of the Company following the Closing.

Section 7.10. Post-Closing Financial Statements. Baker Hughes and Partner agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company after the Closing in order for the Company to prepare audited balance sheets for the combined Baker Hughes Contributed Business and Partner Contributed Business of the Company, and the related statements of income and cash flows, together with all footnotes and related disclosures, which shall fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), the financial position of such combined Baker Hughes Contributed Business and Partner Contributed Business of the Company for all periods after the Closing. Beginning on the date hereof, Baker Hughes shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with reasonable cooperation and information (including making its management, independent auditors and books and records available to the independent auditors of the Company, and to the financial accounting reporting personnel of the Company) in order to assist the Company in the Company’s production of (i) audit-ready consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, members’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 together with all footnotes and related disclosures, within 180 days following the Closing Date, (ii) to the extent the Closing occurs in 2017, unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, members’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, for each fiscal quarter of 2017 (other than the fourth fiscal quarter) (in each case, together with the corresponding comparative period from 2016) together with all footnotes and related disclosures within 45 days of the end of each such fiscal quarter and (iii) if necessary under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any specific request from such an agency, any pro forma financial statements which may be required to be included therein, in each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and in form and substance suitable for inclusion on Form S-1 (or other eligible or successor form) for the initial public offering of the equity interests of the Company or any parent company, subsidiary or successor registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

From and after the Closing, in connection with Partner’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 11, Partner agrees that it will not provide a security interest in the equity securities of Investor JV held by Partner as of immediately following the Closing to any party (other than any security interest that arises by operation of law); provided, that in the event Partner (or any Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Post-Closing LLC Agreement) of Partner) sells or otherwise transfers any equity securities of Investor JV to a Permitted Transferee, such Permitted Transferee shall agree to be bound by the restriction set forth in this Section 7.14 (including the obligation to cause future Permitted Transferees to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.14) and assume on a joint and several basis Partner’s (or such Permitted Transferee’s) indemnification obligations under Article 11; provided, further, that the restriction set forth in this Section 7.14 shall in no respect limit Partner’s right or its Permitted Transferee’s right, as applicable, to sell or otherwise transfer such equity securities to any third party or otherwise limit the exercise of any of the rights of the Investor JV under Article 9 of the Post-Closing LLC Agreement, and upon such sale or other transfer to a third party the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.14 with respect to such transferred equity securities shall no longer be of any force or effect.

(i) the Company, any direct or indirect member of the Company, its and their respective successors and assigns and its and their respective directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), other than the Baker Hughes Indemnified Parties, against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all out of pocket damages, losses, Taxes, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding whether involving a third party claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto), excluding (except to the extent paid to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim) any damages based on a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or any other financial metric (whether trailing, forward or otherwise), punitive, diminution in value, lost profits, speculative, remote, exemplary, special, incidental, indirect or consequential (or similar) damages, losses, liabilities or expenses except to the extent recoverable under applicable principles of New York contract law because they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence of the relevant breach or action and were not occasioned by the special circumstances relating to the applicable indemnified party hereunder (“Damages”), incurred or suffered by any Company Indemnified Party (other than the Baker Hughes Indemnified Parties) (including as a result of their direct or indirect ownership of equity interests of the Company, including with respect to Damages incurred or suffered by the Company) arising out of (A) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Baker Hughes in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17) (each such misrepresentation and breach of warranty a “Baker Hughes Warranty Breach”) or (B) any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Baker Hughes pursuant to this Agreement or, prior to the Closing, by the Company;

(ii) for a period of two years following the Closing Date, the Company Indemnified Parties (other than the Baker Hughes Indemnified Parties) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any such Company Indemnified Party arising out of any Baker Hughes Interim Retained Obligations;

(iii) for a period of three years following the Closing Date, the Company Indemnified Parties (other than the Baker Hughes Indemnified Parties) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any such Company Indemnified Party arising out of any Baker Hughes Specified Environmental Liabilities; and

provided that (A) Baker Hughes shall not be liable for any Baker Hughes Warranty Breach (other than breaches of Baker Hughes Fundamental Reps) unless such Baker Hughes Warranty Breach involves Damages in excess of $250,000, and no such Damage in an amount below $250,000 shall be counted towards the Baker Hughes Basket, (B) Baker Hughes shall not be liable for any Baker Hughes Warranty Breach (other than breaches of Baker Hughes Fundamental Reps) unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to all such Baker Hughes Warranty Breaches exceeds the Baker Hughes Basket and then only to the extent of such excess and (C) Baker Hughes’ maximum liability for any and all Baker Hughes Warranty Breaches (other than breaches of Baker Hughes Fundamental Reps) shall not exceed the Baker Hughes Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of Baker Hughes under Section 11.02(a) shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to $416,000,000.

(b) Effective at and after the Closing, Partner hereby indemnifies:

(i) the Company Indemnified Parties (other than the Partner Indemnified Parties) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Company Indemnified Party (other than the Partner Indemnified Parties) (including as a result of their direct or indirect ownership of equity interests of the Company, including with respect to Damages incurred or suffered by the Company) arising out of (A) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Partner in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.17) (each such misrepresentation and breach of warranty a “Partner Warranty Breach”) or (B) any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Partner pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) for a period of two years following the Closing Date, the Company Indemnified Parties (other than the Partner Indemnified Parties) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any such Company Indemnified Party arising out of any Partner Interim Retained Obligations;

(iv) for an indefinite period following the Closing Date, the Company Indemnified Parties (other than the Partner Indemnified Parties) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any such Company Indemnified Party arising out of any Excluded Partner Asset or Excluded Partner Liability;

provided, that (A) Partner shall not be liable for any Partner Warranty Breach (other than breaches of Partner Fundamental Reps) unless such Partner Warranty Breach involves Damages in excess of $250,000, and no such Damage in an amount below $250,000 shall be counted towards the Partner Basket, (B) Partner shall not be liable for any Partner Warranty Breach (other than breaches of Partner Fundamental Reps) unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to all such Partner Warranty Breaches exceeds the Partner Basket and then only to the extent of such excess and (C) Partner’s maximum liability for any Partner Warranty Breaches (other than breaches of Partner Fundamental Reps) shall not exceed the Partner Cap.

(c) Without limiting and, for the avoidance of doubt, other than to the extent indemnification is owed to any Company Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 11.02(a) and 11.02(b), effective at and after the Closing, the Company hereby indemnifies for an indefinite period following the Closing Date:

(i) Baker Hughes, its Affiliates, its and their respective successors and assigns and its and their respective directors, officers and employees (“Baker Hughes Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Baker Hughes Indemnified Party arising out of the Baker Hughes Transferred Assets or Baker Hughes Transferred Liabilities;

(ii) Partner, any direct or indirect member of Partner, their respective Affiliates (including Investor JV), its and their respective successors and assigns and its and their respective directors, officers and employees (“Partner Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Partner Indemnified Party arising out of the Partner Contributed Assets or Partner Contributed Liabilities; and

(iii) Company Indemnified Parties against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by such parties arising out of any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company following the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) For purposes of this Article 11 (including for determining whether or not any Baker Hughes Warranty Breach or Partner Warranty Breach has occurred), each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.09(a), 3.10(a), 4.09(a) and 4.10(a)) shall be read without regard to any materiality, Baker Hughes Material Adverse Effect or Partner Material Adverse Effect qualifier or exception contained therein.

Section 11.03. Third Party Claim Procedures. (a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 11.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations

hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim brought by a material customer or material supplier of the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have not yet given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above).

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim, if the settlement (A) does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim, (B) imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (C) includes a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel creates an actual or potential conflict of interest for such counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (limited to one counsel employed by the Indemnified Party) with respect to such matter shall be considered indemnifiable Damages hereunder.

(d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 11.04. Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 11.02 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 15 days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party any

and all Damages arising out of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 13.06.

Section 11.05. Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under this Article 11 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (i) amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates as a result of the incurrence or payment of such Damages by the Indemnified Party, determined on a “with-and-without basis” (a “Tax Benefit”). If the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates receive any Tax Benefits subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax Benefits. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount. The Indemnified Party shall diligently prosecute any claims for recovery under applicable insurance policies, and from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, and shall diligently pursue any and all claims for Tax credits or refunds to the extent such Tax credits or refunds would give rise to a Tax Benefit.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate in accordance with Applicable Law any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Damages payable under Section 11.02.

(d) Neither Baker Hughes nor Partner shall be liable under Section 11.02(a)(i) or Section 11.02(a)(iii), or Section 11.02(b)(i) or Section 11.02(b)(iii), respectively, for any Damages for Remedial Actions with respect to Baker Hughes Transferred Facilities or Partner Contributed Facilities, as the case may be, arising under Environmental Laws (i) to the extent such Damages arise out of any subsurface or invasive sampling, testing or other invasive investigation of any environmental media, unless such sampling, testing or other invasive investigation is (A) required by Applicable Law, Environmental Law, any binding permit, license or authorization issued under any Environmental Law, or a Governmental Authority, (B) conducted to respond to an imminent and material threat to human health or the environment, (C)

for the purposes of construction, improvement, maintenance, repair or expansion of a building or other facility, which construction, improvement, maintenance, repair or expansion requires soil excavation which excavation results in visual, olfactory or other reasonable evidence of contamination, (D) conducted in response to a Third Party Claim, or (E) required at any leased real property pursuant to any lease agreement, or (ii) to the extent such Damages exceed those that are reasonably necessary to satisfy, in a reasonably cost-effective manner, the minimum requirements or standards acceptable or allowed under Environmental Law or to an applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Law, using, where possible, risk-based standards, engineering or institutional controls, or deed or other restrictions, in each case so long as such does not materially inhibit those commercial or industrial (as the case may be) activities or operations being performed on the relevant real property or otherwise materially and adversely impact the value of the relevant real property as compared to the value on the Closing Date, it being understood there is no requirement to conduct remediation other than to commercial or industrial standards, as the case may be.

(e) Each of Baker Hughes and Partner shall have the right (but not obligation) to defend, control or conduct any Remedial Action with respect to the matters for which it is responsible under Sections 11.02(a)(i), 11.02(a)(iii), 11.02(a)(iv), 11.02(b)(i), 11.02(b)(iii), or 11.02(b)(iv), as the case may be, as an Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim brought by a material customer or material supplier of the Company. Company agrees to provide reasonable access to Baker Hughes and Partner so that they may be able to conduct any such defense or control or Remedial Action, and during such time Baker Hughes and Partner, as the case may be, shall (i) not unreasonably interfere with the continuing use of the subject property, (ii) reasonably consult with the Company and the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Remedial Action, (iii) promptly provide the Company and the Indemnified Party copies of any non-privileged reports, workplans, notices, correspondence, data or other documentation related to such Remedial Action, and (iv) allow the Company and the Indemnified Party to attend and participate in material meetings with respect to such Remedial Action.

Section 11.06. Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 11.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to assign any right to proceed against a Potential Contributor if the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would be materially detrimental to its reputation or future business prospects.

Section 11.07. Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing each party waives any rights and claims such party may have against each other party, whether in law or in equity, relating to the Baker Hughes Contributed Business, the Partner Contributed Business or the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by each party include claims arising under or relating to Environmental Laws (whether

now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. After the Closing, except for claims arising out of fraud or willful misconduct, Sections 11.02 and 13.13 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than those contained in Sections 5.02 and 7.07) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.08. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Unless otherwise required by a final determination by the appropriate Taxing Authority, the parties agree to treat for all Tax purposes any amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party in respect of Damages described in Sections 11.02(a)(ii) or 11.02(b)(ii), as the reimbursement of a payment made by the Indemnified Party as agent for the Indemnifying Party. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree on the Tax treatment of any other payment in respect of Damages described in Section 11.02(a) or 11.02(b).

Article 12
Termination

Section 12.01. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Baker Hughes and Partner;

(b) by either Baker Hughes or Partner if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before August 29, 2017 (the “Termination Date”);

(c) by either Baker Hughes or Partner if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction;

(d) by Partner if there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Baker Hughes set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 10.02 would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating BH Breach”), except that, if such Terminating BH Breach is curable by Baker Hughes through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then, for a period of up to 30 days after receipt by Baker Hughes of notice from Partner of such breach (the “BH Cure Period”) such termination shall not be effective and the Termination Date shall be automatically extended until the first Business Day following the end of the BH Cure Period, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating BH Breach is not cured within the BH Cure Period; or

(e) by Baker Hughes if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Partner or Investor JV set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 10.03 would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating Partner Breach”), except that, if any such Terminating Partner Breach is curable by Partner through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then, for a period of up to 30 days after receipt by Partner of notice from Baker Hughes of such breach (the “Partner Cure Period”) such termination shall not be effective and the Termination Date shall automatically be extended until

the first Business Day following the end of the Partner Cure Period, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating Partner Breach is not cured within the Partner Cure Period or (ii) (1) all of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 have been satisfied (other than (x) those conditions which by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided, that such conditions would reasonably be expected to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.17, and (y) those conditions the failure of which to be satisfied is caused by or results from a breach by Partner or Investor JV of this Agreement) as of the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.17 and (2) Partner or Investor JV has failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.17.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(b), 12.01(c), 12.01(d) or 12.01(e) shall give notice of such termination to the other parties hereto.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.01(b), Section 12.01(d) or Section 12.01(e)(i), shall not be available to any party (a) that is in material breach of its obligations hereunder or (b) whose failure to fulfill its obligations or to comply with its covenants under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure to satisfy any condition to the obligations of either party hereunder.

Section 12.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 12.01, subject to Section 12.03, such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other parties to this Agreement; provided, that, subject to Section 12.03, if such termination shall result from the willful failure of any party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other parties, failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or breach by any party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such failure or breach. Sections 6.02, 12.03, 13.02, 13.04, 13.05 and 13.06 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 12.01.

Section 12.03. Termination Fee and Related Matters. (a) If this Agreement is terminated by Baker Hughes pursuant to Section 12.01(e) (or by Partner or Baker Hughes pursuant to Section 12.01(b), in each case at a time when Baker Hughes had the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(e)), then Investor JV shall pay to Baker Hughes an amount in cash equal to $25,000,000 in immediately available funds (the “Termination Fee”) within two Business Days of such termination (or, in the case of a termination by Partner pursuant to Section 12.01(b), prior to or concurrently with such termination). Any payment of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this agreement but subject to Baker Hughes’ right to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 13.13, each of Baker Hughes, Partner and Investor JV agrees that the payment of the Termination Fee (together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 12.03(b)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Baker Hughes against Partner, Investor JV and any of their respective Affiliates or of any director or indirect, former, current or

future, general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, an “Investor JV Related Party”) for any damages or losses incurred by Baker Hughes and its Affiliates in circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable, and in no event will Baker Hughes or any of its Affiliates seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity in circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable, subject to Section 12.03(b). Baker Hughes acknowledges, covenants and agrees that neither Baker Hughes nor any of its Affiliates has and shall have a right of recovery against, and no liability shall attach to, including in each case with respect to any actual or claimed loss or damages of any kind of Baker Hughes or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, representatives or stockholders or any other Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of Baker Hughes, any of the Investor JV Related Parties (other than Baker Hughes’ right to recover (x) against Investor JV to the extent provided in this Agreement and (y) to the extent provided in the Guaranties), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Investor JV, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any Applicable Law, through a claim based in tort, contract, statute or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, upon payment of the Termination Fee to Baker Hughes, none of Partner, Investor JV or any Investor JV Related Party shall have any further liability or other obligation (in each case, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise) to Baker Hughes or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Guaranties, the Equity Commitment Letters or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall Baker Hughes and any of its Affiliates be entitled to both specific performance pursuant to Section 13.13 and payment of the Termination Fee, and (ii) in no event shall Baker Hughes be entitled to collect the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) Partner acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 12.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Baker Hughes would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Partner fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 12.03, it shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by Baker Hughes in connection with enforcing this Agreement (including by legal action), together with interest on the amount of such unpaid fee, costs and expenses, at a rate per annum equal to 8% from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date.

7.1.1 “Confidential Information” means any non-public, proprietary or other confidential portion or embodiment of the Licensed IP disclosed by a Party or any of its Subsidiaries (“disclosing party”) to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries (“receiving party”) without the need for any further notice or marking, excluding any information that: (a) the receiving party independently develops without reference to the disclosed information; (b) the receiving party independently receives on a non-confidential and authorized basis from a source other than the disclosing party; (c) becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (d) is in the public domain at the time the receiving party receives the disclosed information; or (e) the receiving party already knows at the time the receiving party receives the disclosed information.

7.1.2 The receiving party will use the Confidential Information of the disclosing party solely for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, for the Exploitation of the Licensed IP by the relevant Licensed Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The receiving party will not directly or indirectly disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party to any third party except as permitted by this Agreement (including permitted disclosures to any permitted sublicensee), and will provide such Confidential Information only to its Representatives who need it in connection with this Agreement and are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Licensed Party may make disclosure of any Confidential Information included in any Licensed Know-How of the Licensing Party hereunder for purposes of filing and prosecuting any patent application filed by such Licensed Party, but provided further that (a) solely with respect to any proposed patent application filing made during the period that the restrictions set forth in Section 10.02(a) of the LLC Agreement apply to Baker Hughes and its Affiliates, such Licensed Party shall notify the Licensing Party no less than thirty (30) days prior to any such filing or prosecution, shall allow the Licensing Party to review and comment on such patent application with respect to the disclosure of such Licensed Know-How, and shall reasonably consider such Licensing Party’s comments with respect thereto, and (b) any such patent application shall only extend to the territory and field to which such Licensed Party is licensed hereunder. The receiving party shall (a) take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, which shall be no less protective than the steps the receiving party uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of a similar nature, and (b) notify the disclosing party in writing of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information of which the receiving party is aware, and reasonably assist the disclosing party in remedying any unauthorized use or disclosure.

7.1.3 The Parties shall keep the contents of this Agreement confidential except for disclosure: (a) in confidence to Persons with a “need to know” and that are investors, potential investors, acquirers, potential acquirers, insurers, lenders, investment bankers, auditors, attorneys and similar Persons; (b) pursuant to an order or subpoena of a court or Governmental Authority, or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law; (c) in confidence to Persons with

a “need to know” in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement; or (d) to their respective Representatives who need to know and who are informed of the confidential nature of such information.

7.2 Disclosure Related to Legal Process. If either Party (“Relevant Party”) becomes legally required, or receives a request from any Governmental Authority, to disclose any Confidential Information or the contents of this Agreement, such Relevant Party shall, if legally permitted, provide prompt written notice to other Party so that such other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the other Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Relevant Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or this Agreement, as applicable, that is legally required or that the Relevant Party otherwise determines to be reasonably necessary to respond to such request, provided that the Relevant Party exercises its reasonable efforts, at the other Party's request and expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the information so disclosed.

9.1.2 In no event shall either Party or any of its Affiliates or their successors and assigns (or any of their respective sublicensees) initiate any Proceeding alleging infringement, misappropriation or other violation against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any customer of such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries on account of such Party’s, Subsidiary’s or customer’s Exploitation of any Licensed IP pursuant to the rights and obligations set forth herein, except in response to any Proceeding first initiated or otherwise asserted by such other Party in violation of this Section 9.1.2.

9.1.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with any Proceeding initiated by a Licensed Party in contravention of Section 9.1.1 or 9.1.2, as applicable, in no event shall any License granted to such Licensed Party pursuant to this Agreement be used as a defense by such Licensed Party to any claim or response by the Licensing Party in any such Proceeding and, for the pendency of any such Proceeding, such License to such Licensed Party shall be suspended.

9.2 Entire Agreement; Assignment; Successors. This Agreement, together with the Schedules, expressly contemplated hereby and attached hereto, the Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that either Party may assign this Agreement (a) in whole to a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets (whether voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Law) to which this Agreement relates or (b) to any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries, in each case without the consent of the other Party, or (c) in part to a successor to all or substantially all of a material business unit or material business line or the assets thereof (whether voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Law) to which this Agreement relates (it being understood that, in the case of clause (c), (x) any such purported assignment shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and to any prior written agreement required by such other Party setting forth the terms and conditions of such license, including any royalty or licensing fees payable in respect thereof and (y) such successor or assignee shall only be permitted to exercise such license in connection with the business unit or business line that is divested). Any successor, transferee or whole or partial assignee of a Party must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and no assignment or transfer of this Agreement by a Party shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations or liabilities to the other Party under this Agreement that are owing at the time of such assignment or transfer or that continue to be owing by a Party in the case of a partial assignment. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Section 9.2 will be null and void and of no force or effect. Subject to the preceding sentences of this Section 9.2, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Licenses granted hereunder shall encumber and follow all applicable Licensed Technology owned by a Licensing Party and shall be binding upon any successor owner or assignee of any of the Licensed Technology owned by a Licensing Party, and each Licensing Party shall take such steps as required to ensure that the Licenses to the Licensed Party hereunder

remain in effect and are not modified or extinguished as a result of such Licensing Party’s sale or disposition of any such Licensed Technology.

9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement 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 will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, in order that the Agreement will be performed as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(b) The Company shall initially have three classes of interests, Class A Units, Class B-1 Units and Class B-2 Units, and each Class A Unit, Class B-1 Unit or Class B-2 Unit shall represent the same rights and preferences as each other Class A Unit, Class B-1 Unit or Class B-2 Unit, respectively, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. A Membership Interest shall for all purposes be personal property. Each Membership Interest shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8- 102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.

(c) It is intended that the Class A Units will constitute “profits interests” under IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27, IRS Revenue Procedure 2001-43 and IRS Notice 2005-43. The Class A Units have a Threshold Value and an initial Capital Account of zero dollars ($ 0.00). If Class A Units are issued after the Closing Date (the “New Class A Units”), the Board shall, from time to time coinciding with such issuance, designate a “Threshold Value” such that any New Class A Units constitute a “profits interest.” The Threshold Value shall equal the amount that would, in the reasonable determination of the Board, be distributed in respect of each then

outstanding Class A Unit if, immediately prior to the issuance of the New Class A Units, the assets of the Company were liquidated and distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 12.05(a); provided, that the Threshold Value shall in no event be less than zero. The Threshold Value will be subject to adjustment to account for any unit split, distribution of units or other similar or non-reciprocal transaction, as reasonably determined by the Board to be necessary to maintain the applicable Threshold Value in light of such transactions. Until the holders of Class A Units have received, since the issuance of such New Class A Units, distributions under Section 8.02(a)(i)(C) equal to the Threshold Value, such New Class A Units shall not be entitled to participate in distributions under Section 8.02(a)(i)(C), and shall not be treated as outstanding for purposes of calculating distributions under Section 8.02(a)(i)(C).

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement or a counterpart to this Agreement, each of BHI, Investor JV, holders of Class A Units and holders of Class B-2 Units on the date hereof hereby is admitted or continues, as applicable, as a member of the Company and shall hold the number of Units set forth on, and, only in the case of BHI, Investor JV and holders of Class B-2 Units, representing the Membership Percentages set forth on, Exhibit A hereto. BHI, Investor JV, holders of Class A Units and holders of Class B-2 Units on the date hereof each hereby acknowledges the receipt (by initial issuance of Membership Interests) on the date hereof of the number of Membership Interests indicated on Exhibit A hereto.

(e) This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement.

Section 2.02 Name. The name of the Company as of the date hereof is “BJ Services, LLC” and its business shall be carried on in this name with such variations and changes or in such other trade names as the Board reasonably deems necessary or appropriate. The Board shall have the power at any time to change the name of the Company in its reasonable discretion.

Section 2.03 Principal Place of Business. The principal place of business of the Company shall be located at such location as the Board may reasonably determine from time to time.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may in furtherance of its business and operations carry out its objectives and accomplish its purposes as principal or agent, directly or indirectly, alone or with associates,

or as a member, stockholder, partner or participant in any firm, association, trust, corporation, partnership or other entity.

(c) The Company shall do all things necessary to maintain its limited liability company existence separate and apart from each Member and any Affiliate of any Member, including holding regular meetings of the Board and maintaining its books and records on a current basis separate from that of any Affiliate of the Company or any other Person.

Section 2.06 Term. The term of the Company commenced on the date the Certificate of Formation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and shall continue in full force and effect in perpetuity; provided that the Company may be dissolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Act.

Section 2.07 Filings; Qualification in Other Jurisdictions. The Company shall prepare, following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any documents required to be filed or, in the Board’s or an authorized executive officer’s view, appropriate for filing under the Act, and the Company shall cause each such document to be filed in accordance with the Act, and, to the extent required by Law, to be filed and recorded, and/or notice thereof to be published, in the appropriate place in each jurisdiction in which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business. The Board may cause or authorize an executive officer to cause the Company to be qualified or registered under assumed or fictitious name statutes or similar Laws in any jurisdiction in which the Company transacts business where the Company is not currently so qualified or registered. Each executive officer shall execute, deliver and file any such documents (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to accomplish the foregoing. The Board may appoint any other authorized persons to execute, deliver and file any such documents.

Section 2.08 Company Property. All property of the Company, both tangible and intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity. A Member has no interest in specific Company property.

Section 2.10 Certificated Membership Interests. Membership Interests shall be in certificated form.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 3.01 Initial Capital Contributions. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, each of the Initial BHI Members and the Initial Investor JV Member has made (or caused one or more of their Affiliates to make) contributions, transfers or payments in accordance with the Structuring Transactions (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and in respect thereof shall have an Initial Capital Contribution at the Closing as specified on Schedule 3.01.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.07 and 5.02, in addition to the Initial Capital Contributions, Members holding Class B Units may (but shall not be required to) from time to time make capital contributions to the Company (each, an “Additional Capital Contribution”) at such times and in such amounts as the Board may reasonably determine.

Section 3.03 Issuance of Membership Interests. (a) No Membership Interests or other equity interests shall be issued in respect of any Additional Capital Contribution until such Additional Capital Contribution is actually made.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.07 and 5.02, the Board may authorize the Company to issue additional Membership Interests and/or create and issue new series, types or classes of equity interests in the Company with such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as the Board may reasonably determine, and authorize obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests of the Company convertible or exchangeable into Membership Interests or other equity interests in the Company and warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Membership Interests or other equity interests in the Company, in each case to any Person in such amounts and on such terms as so approved by the Board; provided, that any such issuance will be made only in exchange for payment of Fair Market Value for such interest. The Company may issue whole or fractional Membership Interests or other equity interests in the Company. In the event the Company issues any equity interests (other than Membership Interests that are authorized for issuance in this Agreement at such time) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement will be appropriately amended to reflect the terms of such other equity interests and the issuance thereof.

Section 3.04 Withdrawal of Capital. (a) No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided herein. Under circumstances requiring the return of any Capital Contribution, no Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash. No

Member shall have the right to cause the sale of any Company asset. No Member shall have any right to receive any salary or draw with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member.

(b) No Member shall have any liability for the return of the Capital Contributions of any other Member. Except as otherwise required by Law, no Member shall be required to make up a negative balance in its Capital Account. No Member shall have priority over any other Member either as to the return of the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions or as to any allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company (except to the extent granted by Company Securities hereinafter approved by the Board pursuant to Section 3.03(b)).

Section 3.05 Maintenance of Capital Accounts. (a) The Company shall maintain a separate capital account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv) (a “Capital Account”). For this purpose, the Company may, upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such regulation and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of the Company’s property.

Section 3.06 No Interest. No interest shall be paid on Capital Contributions or on the balance in a Member’s Capital Account.

Section 3.07 Preemptive Rights. (a) Other than for issuances of Company Securities contemplated in Section 3.07(f), the Company shall give the Members written notice (an “Issuance Notice ”) of any proposed issuance by the Company of any Company Securities at least 20 Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date, except with respect to any such issuance in connection with a Significant Business Need Contribution, in which case the Company shall provide the Members with an Issuance Notice as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to such issuance taking into account the nature and urgency of the need giving rise to such Significant Business Need Contribution and establish other exercise and issuance periods as it may reasonably determine notwithstanding any other timing requirements of this Section 3.07 at the direction of a majority of the Directors of the Board. The Issuance Notice shall specify the price at which such Company Securities are to be issued and the other material terms of the issuance (including the terms of the Company Securities proposed to be issued). Subject to Section 3.07(f), each of the Members shall be entitled to purchase (or to cause its Affiliates to purchase) up to its respective Membership Percentage of the Company Securities proposed to be issued, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 3.07 shall only apply with respect

to Members holding a Membership Percentage of at least five percent (5%), and no Class A Units shall be considered in the calculations contemplated herein; provided that for purposes of calculating Membership Percentage pursuant to this sentence, the Class B Units held by all Members comprising BHI shall be aggregated.

(b) If any Member desires to purchase or to have any of its Affiliates purchase any or all of its Membership Percentage of the Company Securities specified in the Issuance Notice, it shall deliver a written notice to the Company (each a “Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice”) of its election to purchase such Company Securities within 15 Business Days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. The Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice shall specify the number (or amount) of Company Securities to be purchased by such party or its Affiliates and shall constitute exercise by such party of its rights under this Section 3.07 and a binding agreement of such party or such party’s applicable Affiliates to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number (or amount) of Company Securities specified in the Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice with such purchase to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable. If, at the termination of such 15 Business Day period, any Member shall not have delivered a Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice to the Company, such party shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 3.07 with respect to the purchase of such Company Securities. Promptly following the termination of such 15 Business Day period, the Company shall deliver to each of the Members a copy of any Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice it has received or notify each of the Members that no Preemptive Rights Exercise Notices have been received (each a “Second Notice”).

(c) If a Member fails to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 3.07 or elects to exercise such rights with respect to less than its Membership Percentage of the issuance and another Member has exercised its rights under this Section 3.07 with respect to its entire Membership Percentage, such other Member shall be entitled to purchase from the Company any or all of the remaining portion of the issuance. If any such Member desires to purchase or to have any of its Affiliates purchase such remaining portion, it shall deliver a written notice to the Company of its election to purchase such remaining portion within 10 Business Days following receipt of the Second Notice from the Company.

(d) The Company shall have 60 days from the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such Company Securities that the Members have not elected to purchase at a price equal to or greater than the price specified in the Issuance Notice and otherwise upon terms that are not less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice; provided, that, if any Governmental Approvals are required in connection with such issuance, such 60-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days following the date on which all Governmental Approvals are obtained and any applicable waiting periods under applicable Law have expired or been terminated, but in no event will such period be extended for more than an additional 90 days. If the Company proposes to issue any such Company Securities after such 60-day (or longer, as permitted by the preceding sentence) period, it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.07.

(e) At the consummation of the issuance of such Company Securities the Company shall issue certificates or other appropriate instruments representing the Company Securities to be purchased by each party exercising preemptive rights pursuant to this Section

3.07 registered in the name of such party, against payment by such party of the purchase price for such Company Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions as specified in the Issuance Notice.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Section 3.07, no Member shall be entitled to purchase Company Securities as contemplated by this Section 3.07 in connection with issuances of Company Securities (i) to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to employee benefit plans, incentive equity plans (including the Class A Equity Plan) or other arrangements approved by the Board in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) to any Person that is not a Member or an Affiliate thereof as consideration in any acquisition or other strategic transaction (such as a joint venture, marketing or distribution arrangement, or technology transfer or development arrangement) approved in accordance with this Agreement or (iii) in respect of any split, distribution or recapitalization of the Company, each of which must be offered, on a pro rata basis, to each Member. The Company shall not be obligated to consummate any proposed issuance of Company Securities, nor be liable to any Member if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of Company Securities, pursuant to this Section 3.07 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered an Issuance Notice or received any Preemptive Rights Exercise Notices in respect of such proposed issuance.

(g) This Section 3.07 shall not apply in connection with, and shall terminate upon, an IPO.

Section 3.08 Repurchase Rights.

(a) In the event of any Termination by Employer of a Management Member for Cause or because such Management Member leaves his or her employment with the Company or its Affiliates without Good Reason, the Company (or its designees) shall have the option to purchase from such terminated Management Member and its Employee Permitted Transferees all (and not less than all) of any Vested Class A Units or Class B-2 Units held by such Management Member(s) or its Employee Permitted Transferees (collectively, the “Subject Interests”) for cash consideration equal to the lesser of (i) such Management Member’s and its Employee Permitted Transferees’ Capital Contributions made in respect of such Subject Interests minus the aggregate amount of distributions pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) received by such Management Member and its Employee Permitted Transferees in respect of such Subject Interests prior to the date of purchase by the Company (or its designees) and (ii) the Fair Market Value as of the date of the applicable Termination. For purposes of this Section 3.08, Management Members holding Class A Units shall be deemed to have Capital Contributions equal to zero dollars ($0.00).

(b) In the event of any Termination of a Management Member without Cause (other than a termination by such Management Member for Good Reason), by reason of such Management Member’s death or permanent disability, or because such Management Member leaves his or her employment with the Company or its Affiliates with Good Reason, the Company (or its designees) shall have the option to purchase from such terminated Management Member and its Employee Permitted Transferees all (and not less than all) of the Subject

Interests for cash consideration equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of the applicable Termination.

(c) In the event a Management Member is in material breach of the terms of any agreement between such Management Member, on the one hand, and the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, the Company (or its designees) shall have the option to purchase from such Management Member and its Employee Permitted Transferees all (and not less than all) of the Subject Interests for consideration equal to the lesser of (i) such Management Member’s and its Employee Permitted Transferees’ Capital Contributions made in respect of such Subject Interests minus the aggregate amount of distributions pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) received by such Management Member and its Employee Permitted Transferees in respect of such Subject Interests prior to the date of purchase by the Company (or its designees) and (ii) the Fair Market Value as of the date of determination.

(d) The Company (or its designees) shall exercise the foregoing purchase options, by written notice to the applicable Management Members and their Employee Permitted Transferees beginning on the date that is six months and one day, and by no later than the date that is 211 days, following the applicable Termination. Each of the Members hereby agrees that the foregoing remedy is a liquidated damage, and not a penalty. The Company (or its designee) will receive customary representations and warranties from the applicable Management Member and/or its Employee Permitted Transferees regarding the sale of the Subject Interests, including but not limited to the representation that the applicable Management Member and/or each of its Employee Permitted Transferees has good and marketable title to the Subject Interests to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances on the date of closing the transfer. The Management Member hereby consents to the taking of any reasonable steps by the Company purchaser which the latter party deems are necessary or convenient to effect any legal formalities in relation to such transfer. Once the Company (or its designee) has actually paid the applicable Management Member and their Employee Permitted Transferees for the Subject Interests to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the Person from whom such Subject Interests are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Subject Interests, and such Subject Interests shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the Company (or its designee) shall be deemed the owner and holder of such Subject Interests.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of the Subject Interests by the Company shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Act and in the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ debt financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of the Subject Interests hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the time periods provided in this Section 3.8 shall be suspended, and the Company (or its designee) shall make such repurchases at the applicable purchase price therefore within 60 days following the lapse, inapplicability or satisfaction of such restrictions.

ARTICLE 4

Section 4.03 No Right to Withdraw. Except in connection with the Transfer of Membership Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement such that the Transferring Member no longer holds any Membership Interests, no Member shall have any right to voluntarily resign or otherwise withdraw from the Company without the prior written consent of the Company and each of the other Members. A resigning Member shall not be entitled to a distribution of the fair value of its Membership Interests under Section 18-604 of the Act.

At a meeting, no business shall be transacted and no action shall be taken other than that stated in the notice of the meeting unless all Members entitled to vote are present at such meeting and agree that other business not stated in the notice of the meeting can be transacted.

Section 4.05 Notice of Meetings. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of every meeting of the Members and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be mailed not less than five nor more than 15 Business Days before the date of the meeting (or if sent by facsimile, not less than five Business Days before the date of the meeting), in either case to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting, at its address maintained in the records of the Company by the Company’s Secretary. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by Law, but meetings may be held without notice if all the Members entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy or if notice is waived in writing by those not present, either before or after the meeting. Presence at a meeting by a Member shall constitute a waiver of any deficiency of notice, except when a Member 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 called or convened in accordance with this Agreement. In the case of extraordinary circumstances, a meeting of the Members may be called on 24 hours’ notice.

Section 4.06 Quorum; Telephonic Meetings. (a) Provided that notice of the meeting has been given in accordance with Section 4.05, Members holding a majority of the outstanding

Membership Interests entitled to vote with respect to the business to be transacted, who shall be present or represented by proxy at any meeting duly called, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided that the presence of each of BHI and Investor JV shall be required for a quorum to be constituted. If less than a quorum shall be in attendance at the time for which a meeting shall have been called, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the Members present or represented by proxy and the Company shall promptly give notice of when the meeting will be reconvened. If a meeting is adjourned due to a lack of a quorum, and the sole reason for such lack was the failure of either BHI or Investor JV to be present, then, if the reconvened meeting is held at least 72 hours after the meeting at which a quorum was not present, at such reconvened meeting, a quorum shall consist of Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests entitled to vote with respect to the business to be transacted.

(b) Members may participate in meetings of the Members by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a telephonic meeting pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall constitute presence at such meeting for purposes of Section 4.06(a) and shall constitute a waiver of any deficiency of notice, except when a Member 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 called or convened in accordance with this Agreement.

(a) At any meeting of the Members, each Member entitled to vote on any matter coming before the meeting shall, as to such matter, have a vote, in person, by telephone or by proxy, equal to the number of Membership Interests held in its name on the relevant record date established pursuant to Section 4.09. All Membership Interests with voting rights shall constitute a single class and group of Equity Securities of the Company and the holders of Membership Interests shall vote together as a single class and group of Members.

(b) When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote or consent of Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall constitute the act of the Members. Every proxy shall be in writing, dated and signed by the Member entitled to vote or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement in respect of any class or series of interests in the Company created and issued after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or as required by Law, no class or series of such interests, other than the Membership Interests, shall have any voting rights whatsoever, and no Member shall have any right to vote with respect to any business or matter to be voted or acted upon by the Members by virtue of its ownership of any such interests in the Company other than the Membership Interests.

Section 4.08 Action Without a Meeting. On any matter requiring an approval or consent of Members under this Agreement or the Act at a meeting of Members, the Members may take such action 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 all of the Members

entitled to vote thereon. Approval of any such action by email confirmation shall constitute consent in writing for purposes of this Section.

Section 4.09 Record Date. For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members, or entitled to receive a payment of any kind, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members, such date in any case to be not more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular meeting or action, requiring such determination of such Members, is to be held or taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members, or Members entitled to receive payment of any kind, the date on which notices of the meeting are mailed or faxed or the date on which the resolution of the Board declaring such payment is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Section 4.09, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Section 4.10 Member Approval Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or as required by Law, the Members shall have no right to vote on any matter and hereby expressly waive any right to vote that can be waived.

Section 4.12 Liability. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Contribution Agreement, or as required by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member, Director or Company officer shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company or for any losses of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or acting as a Director or Company officer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct, no Person shall have any liability hereunder for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or damages for lost profits or diminution of value. The Company shall also have the power to exculpate, to the same extent set forth in this Section 6.01(a), employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who are not Covered Persons and agents of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct, each Person (and the heirs, executors or administrators of such Person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Covered Person, in each case acting in their capacities as such, and such action, suit or proceeding relates to an act or omission of such Covered Person acting in its capacity as such, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Delaware (including indemnification for acts or omissions constituting negligence, gross negligence or breach of duty); provided, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be available to a Member in the case of an action, suit or proceeding brought by a Member or any other party to this Agreement against such Member. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 6.01(b) shall also include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in

The rights to indemnification and advancement conferred in this Section 6.01(b) constitute contract rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, the Company shall indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board; provided, however, that a Covered Person shall be entitled to reimbursement of his or her reasonable counsel fees with respect to a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person to enforce his or her right to indemnity or advancement of expenses under the provisions of this Section 6.01 to the extent that the Covered Person is successful on the merits in such proceeding (or part thereof).

(c) The Company may, by action of the Board, provide indemnification to such officers, employees and agents of the Company or other Persons who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to such extent and to such effect as the Board shall reasonably determine to be appropriate.

(d) The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Covered Person or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such Person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall survive the termination, voluntary or involuntary, of the status of a Member as such, the termination, voluntary or involuntary, of the status of any Covered Person or other Person as to whom the provisions of this Section 6.01 apply as such and the termination of this Agreement or dissolution of the Company.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be applicable to any action, suit or proceeding commenced after the date of this Agreement against any Covered Person arising from any act or omission of such Covered Person acting in its capacity as such, whether occurring before or after the date of this Agreement. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 6.01, or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any amendment of Law, shall have any effect on the rights provided under this Section 6.01 with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

(g) The indemnification hereby provided and provided hereafter pursuant to the power hereby conferred by this Section 6.01 on the Board shall not be exclusive of any other

rights to which any Person may be entitled (including under a separate indemnification agreement for each of the Directors), including any right under policies of insurance that may be purchased and maintained by the Company or others, with respect to claims, issues or matters in relation to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify such Person under the provisions of this Section 6.01. Such rights shall not prevent or restrict the power of the Company to make or provide for any further indemnity, or provisions for determining entitlement to indemnity, pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements or other arrangements (including creation of trust funds or security interests funded by letters of credit or other means) reasonably approved by the Board (whether or not any of the Members, Directors or Company officers shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements or arrangements); provided, however, that any provision of such agreements or other arrangements shall not be effective if and to the extent that it is determined to be contrary to this Section 6.01 or applicable Law.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.01 is intended to relieve any Member or any other Person from any liability or other obligation of such Person pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement or to in any way impair the enforceability of any provision of such agreements against any party thereto.

(i) Any indemnity under this Section 6.01 shall be provided solely out of, and only to the extent of, the Company’s assets, and no Member or Affiliate of any Member shall be required directly to indemnify any Covered Person pursuant to this Section 6.01. None of the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed to create any rights in favor of any Person other than Covered Persons and any other Person to whom the provisions of this Section 6.01 expressly apply.

(j) Each Member acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Member agrees with respect to the other Members, that such Member, together with its controlling persons, investors, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees or its Affiliates, shall not be liable to the other Members for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by such other party in connection with any Member’s Initial Capital Contribution or Additional Capital Contribution.

Section 6.02 Other Activities; Business Opportunities. (a) Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at Law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and subject only to Section 10.02, no Member, Affiliate of any Member (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person), Director or Company officer who is also an employee of a Member or an Affiliate of a Member (in each case only when acting on behalf of such Member or such Member’s Affiliate in connection with such Member’s or such Member’s Affiliate’s own business and operations) shall have any obligation to refrain from, directly or indirectly, (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Company or developing or marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of the Company, (ii) investing or owning any interest, publicly or privately, in, developing a business relationship with, or serving as an employee, officer, director, consultant or agent of, any Person engaged in the same or similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, the Company or (iii) doing business with (directly or as an employee, officer, director, consultant or agent of a Person who does business with) the Company or any Person who conducts business with the Company; and

neither the Company nor any Member (or Affiliate of any Member (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person)) shall have any right in or to, or to be offered any opportunity to participate or invest in, any business or venture engaged or to be engaged in by any other Member, Affiliate of any other Member, officer of the Company who is also an employee of any other Member (or an Affiliate of any other Member) or Director or shall have any right in or to any income or profits derived therefrom. It is understood and agreed by the Members that each Person referred to in this Section 6.02(a) shall be permitted to undertake any and all actions of the type referred to in this Section 6.02(a) without limitation (in each case acting on behalf of the applicable Member or Affiliate of a Member in connection with such Member’s or such Member’s Affiliate’s own business and operations) and that the taking of any such actions shall not violate any legal obligation or duty (including any fiduciary duty) to any Member or other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the Company, subject only to the provisions of Section 10.02.

(b) Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at Law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and subject only to Section 10.02, if a Member, any Director designated by a Member, any Affiliate of such Member (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person) or any officer of the Company who is also an employee of such Member (or any of such Member’s Affiliates) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for both such Member or an Affiliate of such Member, on the one hand, and the Company or another Member or another Member’s Affiliate (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person), on the other hand, no such Member, Director, Affiliate or officer shall have a duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Company or such other Member or such other Member’s Affiliate, and no such Person shall be liable to the Company, the other Members and their Affiliates in respect of any such matter (including for any breach of fiduciary or other duties) by reason of the fact that such Member or any Affiliate of such Member (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person) pursues or acquires such business opportunity for itself or by reason of the fact that such Member, Director, Affiliate or officer directs such opportunity to such Member or an Affiliate of such Member (other than any Affiliate that is a natural person) or does not communicate information regarding such opportunity to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first sentence of this Section 6.02(b) shall not apply to any such knowledge or business opportunity acquired by any Director who is an officer of the Company (other than an officer of the Company who is an employee of BHI, Investor JV or any of their respective Affiliates) in his or her capacity as an officer of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Director shall not be considered to be an officer of the Company by virtue of holding such position, the position of Chairman of the Board or any other Board-level position.

(c) The Members acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall create (i) a fiduciary duty in any Member, its investors or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or its Members by virtue of its or their status as a member or direct or indirect investor in the Company or (ii) a fiduciary duty of any Directors with respect to the Company and its Members, and all such fiduciary duties are hereby disclaimed to the extent permissible under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any actions or omissions by representatives of a Member or any of its Affiliates in whatever capacity, including as a Director, it is understood that neither Member, their investors nor any of their respective Affiliates is

acting as a financial advisor, agent or underwriter to the Company or any of its Affiliates or otherwise on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates unless retained to provide such services pursuant to a separate written agreement which agreement shall itself govern the terms and condition on which such services are provided and all related matters.

Section 7.01 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year or on such other day as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board.

Section 7.02 Bank Accounts. In the absence of instructions from the Board to the contrary, an authorized officer of the Company shall determine the institution or institutions at which the Company’s bank accounts will be opened and maintained, the types of accounts, and the Persons who will have authority with respect to the accounts and the funds therein.

Section 7.03 Books of Account and Other Information. The Company shall prepare and maintain, at its principal place of business, separate books of account for the Company that shall show a true and accurate record of all costs and expenses incurred, all charges made, all credits made and received and all income derived in connection with the operation of the Company’s business in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, in accordance with this Agreement. All questions of accounting shall be determined by the Board or a committee or officer authorized by the Board to make such determination.

Section 7.04 Auditors. The Company Auditors shall be such firm of certified independent public accountants as shall be selected by the Board in its reasonable discretion.

Section 7.05 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Company shall prepare and file its tax returns (including on Internal Revenue Service Form 1065) in a timely manner (taking into account extensions) and shall cause all tax returns of the Company’s Subsidiaries to be filed in a timely manner (taking into account extensions) . The Company shall cause to be delivered a draft of each IRS Form 1065 and Schedules K-1 as proposed to be filed by the Company to BHI and Investor JV for review and comment no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each Tax Year, and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to address and resolve any comments provided. The Company shall make a Section 754 election on the first IRS Form 1065 it files after the date hereof.

(b) The Company shall prepare such information (including a Schedule K-1 and any comparable foreign, state and local tax forms) as shall be necessary to enable each Member to prepare its income tax returns and shall provide such information no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each Tax Year; provided, that the Company shall provide reasonable estimates of the information to be set forth on such Schedule K-1 on a quarterly basis to the Members holding Class B Units no later than the last day of each quarter of the Tax Year; provided, that the Company shall provide such estimate for the last quarter of each year no later than December 1.

(c) By executing a joinder to this Agreement, each Member holding Class A Units authorizes the Company, at the election of the Board, to elect, to the extent applicable, to

have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure (the “Revenue Procedure”) set forth in IRS Notice 2005-43 (the “Notice”) and Proposed Regulations Section 1.83-3(l) apply to any Class A Units in the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the Company. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the Tax Matters Member is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the Tax Matters Member will constitute execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Notice. To the extent such election is made, the Company and each Member holding Class A Units hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice and in the Proposed Regulations Section 1.83-3(l), to the extent such requirements are imposed in the Revenue Procedure or such Proposed Regulation, including the requirement that each Member holding Class A Units will prepare and file all federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each interest in the Company issued by the Company covered by the Safe Harbor in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Revenue Procedure.

(d) Each Member who acquires Class A Units shall make a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Class A Units. It is the sole responsibility of a Member, and not the Company, to file the election under Section 83(b) of the Code even if such Member requests the Company or any of its representatives to assist in making such filing. Each Member who files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Class A Units (including each Member who is required to file such an election under this Section 7.05(d)) shall provide a copy of such election to the Company on or before the due date for the filing of such election.

(e) Investor JV or any Member designated by Investor JV shall be the tax matters partner of the Company as defined in Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code (as in effect prior to the Budget Act) and, as of the Tax Year for which the Budget Act becomes effective and is applicable with respect to the Company, the “partnership representative” for all purposes of Section 6223 of the Code (as in effect following the Budget Act), as applicable (the “Tax Matters Member”). Without the prior written consent of all the Members holding Class B Units, the Tax Matters Member may not enter into or execute on behalf of all Members any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, whether for the purpose of extending the statute of limitations for making an assessment of federal income taxes or the time periods relating to submitting administrative adjustment requests for the Company, affecting the amount, deductibility or credit of any Company item, or for any other purpose. The Tax Matters Member will promptly provide all the Members with copies of all correspondence received in its capacity as Tax Matters Member. The Company shall not pay any fees or other compensation to the Tax Matters Member in its capacity as such. However, the Company shall reimburse the Tax Matters Member for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys and other professional fees) incurred by it in its capacity as Tax Matters Member.

(f) The Members intend that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for federal, state, and local income tax purposes to the extent such treatment is available (and neither the Company nor any Member will make an election otherwise) and agree to take such actions as may be necessary to receive and maintain such treatment and refrain from taking any actions inconsistent therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members intend that the Company

shall not be a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture and that no Member or the Company shall be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member or the Company for any purposes other than federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes, and this Agreement shall not be construed to the contrary, and no Member shall be liable for the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company or any other Member.

(g) The Company shall, to the extent such election is available to the Company under applicable law and other associated interpretative guidance, use commercially reasonable efforts to make the election described under Section 6221(b) of the Code (as in effect upon the effective date of Section 1101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, as may be amended from time to time, and any similar provisions of state or local law (the “ Budget Act”) with respect to each Tax Year of the Company that is governed by the provisions of the Budget Act, unless the Board reasonably and in good faith determines that making such an election is not in the best interest of all of the Members. To the extent such election is not available or made for any Tax Year of the Company that is governed by the provisions of the Budget Act, the Tax Matter Member shall apply the following provisions in a commercially reasonable manner in order to minimize the aggregate amount of Tax assessed and equitably allocate such amount among the Members:

(i) If the Internal Revenue Service, in connection with an audit governed by the Budget Act, proposes an adjustment in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company, or any Member’s distributive share thereof, and such adjustment results in an “imputed underpayment” as described in Section 6225(b) of the Budget Act (a “Covered Audit Adjustment”), the Tax Matters Member shall elect, to the extent that such election is available and in the best interest of the Company under the Budget Act to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Budget Act (the “Alternative Method”). To the extent the Alternative Method is not elected with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment, the Tax Matters Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) make any modifications available under Section 6225(c)(3) and (4) of the Budget Act to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account whether the Tax Matters Member has received any reasonably requested information on a timely basis from the Members) and would reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (B) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended U.S. federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Budget Act. Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income tax audit that incorporates rules similar to the Budget Act.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any taxes, penalties, and interest payable under the Budget Act by the Company (“Company Level Taxes”) shall be treated as attributable to the Members (or former Members, as applicable), and the Tax Matters Member shall reasonably allocate in good faith the burden of any such Company Level Taxes to those Members (or former Members, as applicable) to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions, or otherwise), taking into account the effect of any modifications described in Section 7.05(f)(i)(A) that reduce the amount of Company

Level Taxes. All Company Level Taxes allocated to a Member (or former Member) at the option of the Tax Matters Member, shall (i) be promptly paid to the Company by such Member (of former Member) (“Option A”) or (ii) shall be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 8.02 and, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to Section 12.05 (“Option B”). If the Tax Matters Member selects Option A, the Company’s payment of the Company Level Taxes allocated to the applicable Member (or former Member) shall be characterized in a manner as if the payment by the Company were a distribution to such Member (or former Member) and as if the payment by such Member (or former Member) to the Company were a capital contribution for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that such payments shall not affect the Capital Accounts of, any other contributions to be made by, or the distributions and allocations to be made to the applicable Members (or former Members) under this Agreement. If the Tax Matters Member selects Option B, the amount of any such reduction in a distribution shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if it had been distributed to the applicable Member pursuant to Sections 8.02 or 12.05, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Member (whether or not such Member becomes a former Member after the date of this Agreement) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members (including other former Members, as applicable) from and against any liability for Company Level Taxes reasonably allocated to such Member in good faith pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to any former Member, any Company Level Taxes allocated to such former Member that are attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) during which such former Member held a Company interest). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liabilities and obligations of each Member under this Section 7.05(f) shall survive any transfer of Company interests by such Member or such Member ceasing to be a Member under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 8.01 Allocations.

(a) Membership Percentages of the Members. The Membership Percentage of each Member shall be indicated on Exhibit A, as amended from time to time.

(b) Allocation of Profit and Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.01, or required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(1)(i), items of Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company for each Tax Year of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, as nearly as possible, equals the excess of (a) the distribution that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 12.05(a) if (i) the Company were to sell the assets of the Company for an amount equal to their Book Value, (ii) all Unvested Class A Units became Vested Class A Units, (iii) liabilities of the Company were satisfied in full according to their terms (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability of the Company, to the Book

Value of the assets securing such liability if such Book Value is less than such nonrecourse liability) and (iv) the Company were to distribute the proceeds of such sale (and any other cash on hand) pursuant to Section 12.05(a) to the Members, over (b) such Member’s share of Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the deemed sale of the Company’s assets.

(i) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Net Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Tax Year in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, Net Profit for such Tax Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Tax Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 8.01(c)(i) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(ii) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(c)(i), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain during any Tax Year, each Member shall be allocated Net Profit for such Tax Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Tax Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 8.01(c)(ii) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Tax Year shall be allocated to each Member ratably among such Members based upon the manner in which Net Profit (determined without regard to such non-recourse deductions) are allocated among the Members for such Tax Year.

(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Tax Year, computed as if all other allocations provided for in this Article 8 had been tentatively made (other than pursuant to this paragraph), then items of Company income and gain for such Tax Year shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as soon as possible (and, if two or more Members have such deficits, in proportion to their deficits). This Section 8.01(c)(iv) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(v) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been made as if Section 8.01(c)(iv) and this Section 8.01(c)(v) were not in this Agreement.

(vi) Allocation of Certain Net Profits and Net Losses. Items of gain or loss described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Net Profit and Net Loss” as a result of an adjustment to the Book Value of an asset of the Company pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Book Value” shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(vii) Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 8.01(c)(i)-(vi) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-l(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate items of Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company or make the Company’s distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 8, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, items of income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Profit and Net Loss (or items thereof) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of Net Profit and Net Loss among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Tax Year there is a decrease in Minimum Gain, or in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, and application of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback or Minimum Gain chargeback requirements set forth in Section 8.01(c)(i) or 8.01(c)(ii), respectively, would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Board may, if it does not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such Minimum Gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such Minimum Gain chargeback requirement.

(d) Tax Allocations.

(i) Allocations Generally. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.01(d), the items of income, gains, losses, and deductions of the Company will be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such items of income, gains, losses, and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts; except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable Law, the Company’s items of income, gains, losses and deductions will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(ii) Code Section 704(c) Allocations. Items of the Company’s taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value. In addition, if the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), then subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). The Members agree that all allocations made pursuant to this Section 8.01(d)(ii) shall be made using the “remedial method” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d). The Members further agree that the election to utilize any method other than the “remedial method” for purposes of making allocations pursuant to this Section 8.01(d)(ii) shall constitute an election that is subject to Section 5.02(a)(vi).

(iii) Allocation of Tax Credits, Tax Credit Recapture, Etc. Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as reasonably determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(iv) Effect of Allocations. Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profit or Net Loss (or items thereof) pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Distributions.

(a) Distributions; Withholding.

(i) Distributions of cash shall be made to the Members by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the relevant Member. Subject to Section 8.02(a)(ii), any distribution shall be made to the Members as follows (and, for illustrative purposes only, the parties contemplate that such distributions shall be made as specified on Schedule 8.02(a)):

(A) First, to the holders of outstanding Class B Units (ratably among the holders of Class B Units based upon the proportion that each such holder’s 8% Unpaid Preference bears to the aggregate 8% Unpaid Preference), until the 8% Unpaid Preference with respect to each outstanding Class B Unit has been reduced to zero dollars ($0);

(B) Second, to the holders of outstanding Class B Units (ratably among the holders of Class B Units based upon the proportion that each such holder’s Unreturned Capital bears to the aggregate Unreturned Capital), until the Unreturned Capital with respect to each outstanding Class B Unit has been reduced to zero dollars ($0);

(C) Third, thereafter to the holders of the Vested Class A Units pro rata in proportion to their ownership of the issued and authorized Vested Class A Units an amount equal to (x) 10% of the portion of any distribution to which this Section 8.02(a)(i)(C) applies, multiplied by (y) the Class A Participation Percentage multiplied by (z) the Aggregate Class A Vested Percentage (provided, that, in respect of any Unvested Class A Unit, the Company shall set aside the amount of any distribution to which such Unvested Class A Unit would have been entitled to pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(i)(C) if it was a Vested Class A Unit at the time of such distribution and shall distribute any such amounts to the holders of such Unvested Class A Units at the time they become Vested Class A Units notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.02(a)(i), provided, further, that if such Unvested Class A Unit does not become a Vested Class A Unit and ceases to be an Unvested Class A Unit, such amounts set aside for distribution to the holders of such Class A Unit shall be distributed to the holders of outstanding Class B Units in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 8.02(a)(i)), and the remainder to the holders of Class B Units in accordance with Section 8.02(a)(i)(C)(1)-(4) below;

(1) to the holders of outstanding Class B Units (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Membership Percentages) until each holder of outstanding Class B Units, including each of BHI and Investor JV, receives its 2x Threshold;

(2) Thereafter, to BHI, for so long as BHI and its Permitted Transferees hold any Class B Units, until BHI and its Permitted Transferees have received distributions in the aggregate in an amount equal to $25,000,000 pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(i)(C)(2);

(3) Thereafter, 5% of the portion of any distributions to which this Section 8.02(a)(i)(C)(3) applies to BHI, and the remainder to holders of Class B Units (including BHI) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Membership Percentages until each holder of outstanding Class B Units, including each of BHI and Investor JV, receives its 3x Threshold; and

(4) Thereafter, 10% of the portion of any distributions to which this Section 8.02(a)(i)(C)(4) applies to BHI, and the remainder to holders of Class B Units (including BHI) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Membership Percentages.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A) The Company shall, within 15 days following the end of each Estimated Tax Period, distribute on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Membership Percentage an amount of cash pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(ii) until each Member holding B Units has received an amount at least equal to its Tax Allowance Amount; provided, however, that to the extent the Board reasonably determines in good faith that the Company lacks sufficient cash, each Member’s share of such distribution shall be reduced proportionately in accordance with such Member’s Membership Percentage. All distributions made to a Member pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(ii) shall constitute an advance of amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to such Member at a later time pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 12.05(a)(ii).

(B) If a Member’s Annual Tax Distribution Amount for a Tax Year exceeds the sum of the amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 8.02(a) during such Tax Year, the Company shall, within 20 days after filing its Internal Revenue Service Form 1065, distribute to the applicable Member an amount of cash equal to such excess. If the sum of the amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(ii)(A) during a Tax Year exceeds such Member’s Annual Tax Distribution Amount for such Tax Year, the Company shall so notify the applicable Member and shall offset such excess against such Member’s future distributions pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(ii)(A).

(iii) The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions to the Members any amounts required to be withheld under Law. All amounts withheld with respect to a Member shall be treated as if such amounts were distributed to such Member under this Agreement. Provided the Company determined the amount of any required withholding reasonably and in good faith, neither the Company nor the Tax Matters Member shall be liable for any over-withholding in respect of any Member’s Membership Interest, and, in the event of any such over-withholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Company shall cooperate with a Member in the preparation and filing of such refund claims.

(b) Distributions in Kind. No Member has any right to demand or receive property other than cash. Assets of the Company distributed in kind shall be valued based on the Book Value thereof.

(i) no distribution shall be made in violation of the Act or other applicable Law; and

(ii) all amounts distributed to Members in respect of their Membership Interests representing Class B Units shall be distributed to them pro rata in accordance with their respective Membership Percentages.

(d) Special Distribution to BHI. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and each Member intend, to the extent permitted by law, that the Special Distribution be treated as a reimbursement of BHOO’s preformation capital expenditures under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), and the Special Distribution shall not be taken into account for purposes of Section 8.02(a) or Section 12.05.

(e) Exculpation. The Members hereby consent and agree that, except as expressly provided herein or required by applicable Law, no Member shall have an obligation to return cash or other property paid or distributed to such Member under Section 18-502(b) of the Act or otherwise.

ARTICLE 9

TRANSFERS, REDEMPTION/PURCHASE RIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL MEMBERS

Section 9.01 Restrictions on Transfers. (a) Prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the day that is 15 months following the Closing Date (provided, that this period shall be indefinite with respect to Members holding Class B-2 Units (in their capacity as such)) and (2) the expiration of any underwriter lock -up period associated with the IPO (the “Lockup Period”), no Member may Transfer or permit a Transfer of any Membership Interests held by such Member; provided, that, subject to Section 9.01(c), such prohibition shall not apply to Transfers (i) to any Affiliate of BHI (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any member of the GE Group following the consummation of the BH/GE Merger) so long as such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of BHI and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to BHI, (ii) by Investor JV or any direct or indirect member of Investor JV to any Affiliate of Investor JV or any Affiliate of any direct or indirect member of Investor JV so long as such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of Investor JV or any Affiliate of any direct or indirect member of Investor JV (which Affiliates shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, both CSL Capital Management, LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and any of their respective Affiliates) and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Investor JV, (iii) with respect to Class B-1 Units, otherwise from a direct or indirect member (or other holder of Equity Securities) of a Member to such Member or other member or indirect member (or other holder of Equity Securities) of a Member, (iv) to any Member Syndication Party within six months of the Closing, (v) due to a Regulatory Concern, (vi) with respect to Class B-2 Units, to any Employee Permitted Transferee (the Transfers described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), “Permitted Transfers” and the Person to which such Transfer is made, a “Permitted Transferee”) or (vii) with respect to Class B-2 Units, (x) to the Company (or its designee) in a repurchase pursuant to Section 3.08, (y) pursuant

to a Tag-Along Right or (z) pursuant to a Drag-Along Sale; provided, further, that an IPO may be effected pursuant to Section 9.04 of this Agreement at any time following the Closing Date.

(b) Following the earlier to occur of (i) the day that is 15 months following the Closing Date and (ii) the expiration of the Lockup Period, all Transfers of Class B-1 Units shall be subject to Sections 9.01(c), 9.02 and 9.03.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may a holder of Class B Units Transfer any of its Membership Interests if such Transfer would, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, cause the Company to cease to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or cause the Company to be considered as terminated under Section 708(b)(1)(b) of the Code. In no event shall the Company participate in the establishment of a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(c) or the inclusion of its interests on such a market or on an established securities market as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.7701-1(b), or recognize any Transfers made on any of the foregoing.

Section 9.02 Right of First Offer. (a) If BHI, Investor JV or any of their respective Affiliates (the “ROFO Selling Member”) desires to Transfer (or cause to be Transferred) all or part of the ROFO Selling Member’s Membership Interests in accordance with Section 9.01(b), then the ROFO Selling Member will notify the other Members in writing that it intends to effect such Transfer and indicate the number of Membership Interests proposed to be Transferred (the “Sale Notice”). This Section 9.02 shall only apply with respect to Members holding Class B-1 Units and no Membership Interest in respect of Class A Units or Class B-2 Units shall be considered in the calculations contemplated herein.

(b) Within 25 calendar days after receipt of the Sale Notice, each other Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make a first offer to purchase such other Member’s pro rata portion (based on each other Member’s Membership Percentage, it being understood that if the only Members are BHI and Investor JV, such pro rata portion shall be 100% of the Membership Interests proposed to be Transferred) of the Membership Interests to be sold in whole but not in part, in its sole discretion, by delivering a written offer (the “ROFO Offer”) setting forth the cash price that such Member proposes to pay for such securities (the “ROFO Offer Price”) and in reasonable detail any other material terms sought by such Member. Such ROFO Offer will constitute an offer by such other Members to purchase from the ROFO Selling Member such securities at the ROFO Offer Price for cash. Upon giving a ROFO Offer, such Member will be bound to (and, as applicable, to require its Affiliates to) purchase such Membership Interests on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer.

(c) In the event that there is one or more third party Members in addition to BHI or Investor JV or any of their Affiliates, then if any other Member fails to respond to the Sale Notice within the 25 calendar day period referred to above, the ROFO Selling Member shall provide notice to all of the Members who gave a ROFO Offer informing such Members that they have the right to increase the amount of the Membership Interests that they offered to purchase in their respective ROFO Offer (the “Second Sale Notice”). Each such Member shall then have 10 Business Days in which to give notice to the ROFO Selling Member, as to its intent to purchase, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer (the “Second Offer”), the portion

of the Membership Interests specified in the Second Sale Notice (on the basis of such Member’s pro rata portion of the Membership Percentage of Members receiving the Second Sale Notice) plus any additional Membership Interests not offered to be purchased by any Member after receipt of the Second Sale Notice.

(d) If the ROFO Selling Member accepts such ROFO Offer or ROFO Offers within the first 30 calendar day period and/or pursuant to the initial ROFO Offer or Second Offer, as applicable, then the ROFO Selling Member shall (and, as applicable, require its Affiliates to) consummate the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests as to which the ROFO Selling Member has accepted the ROFO Offer on the terms set forth therein within 20 calendar days of (i) if there was no Second Offer, the last day of the initial 30 calendar day period and (ii) if there was a Second Offer, the end of the 10 Business Day period referred to in Section 9.02(c); provided, that, if any Governmental Approvals are required in connection with such transaction, such 20 calendar day period shall be extended until the expiration of three Business Days following the date on which all Governmental Approvals required with respect to such proposed transaction are obtained (including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under applicable Law) but in no event will such period be extended for more than an additional 120 calendar days (it being understood that, if any such required Governmental Approvals are not obtained within such 120 calendar day period, the applicable purchasing Member and the ROFO Selling Member shall not be obligated to proceed with the proposed transaction and the ROFO Selling Member may include the Membership Interests which were to have been sold to the applicable purchasing Member in any transaction effected pursuant to Section 9.02(e), provided, however, that the ROFO Selling Member may not proceed with any transaction effected pursuant to Section 9.02(e) if the failure to obtain Governmental Approvals was due to such ROFO Selling Member’s failure to use reasonable best efforts to obtain such required Governmental Approvals) . The parties to any such transaction shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required Governmental Approvals. In the event that a purchasing Member is unable to secure all required Governmental Approvals, such Member shall lose all rights to acquire Membership Interests under this Section 9.02 thereafter. At the closing of the Transfer, the ROFO Selling Member shall sell the applicable securities free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than those arising under this Agreement).

(e) If (i) the ROFO Selling Member rejects a ROFO Offer, (ii) the Members fail to give ROFO Offers with respect to all of the Membership Interests to be sold pursuant to the Sale Notice or (iii) a Member timely gives a ROFO Offer and the proposed transaction contemplated by such offer is not consummated solely as a result of a failure to receive all required Governmental Approvals within the 120 calendar day period referred to in Section 9.02(d), then, subject to Section 9.03, the ROFO Selling Member may enter into a binding agreement to Transfer or cause to be Transferred all (but not less than all) of the securities set forth in the Sale Notice for which the ROFO Selling Member rejected ROFO Offers, which the other Members have not elected to purchase, or which the other Members are not able to purchase solely as a result of a failure to receive all required Governmental Approvals, to an unaffiliated third party acquirer at a price no less than 100% of the price proposed in the ROFO Offers and on other terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the unaffiliated third party acquirer than the terms and conditions specified in the ROFO Offer, at any time during the period ending 180 calendar days after the delivery date of the Sale Notice and such Transfer shall

be consummated within 240 calendar days after the delivery date of the Sale Notice. If, however, the ROFO Selling Member (or, as applicable, its Affiliate) fails to complete or cause to be completed the proposed Transfer to an unaffiliated third party acquirer within such time periods, then any proposed Transfer shall again become subject to the right of first offer pursuant to this Section 9.02.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.02 shall terminate upon the consummation of an IPO and shall not apply to any proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 9.04 or any Permitted Transfers.

(b) The Tag-Along Notice shall identify the number and class of Membership Interests proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller (the “Tag-Along Offer”), the consideration for which the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer, including the form of the proposed agreement, if any.

irrevocable acceptance of the Tag-Along Offer by such Tagging Person, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.03 and Section 9.05. If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period any other Member shall not have elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, such other Member shall be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 9.03(a) with respect to the Transfer of its Membership Interests pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale.

(f) If (i) any other Member declines to exercise its Tag-Along Rights or (ii) any Tagging Person elects to exercise its Tag-Along Rights with respect to less than such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion, the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to Transfer, pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, up to a number of Membership Interests held by it equal to the number of Membership Interests constituting, as the case may be, the Tag-Along Portion of such other Member or the portion of such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion with respect to which Tag-Along Rights were not exercised.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.03, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tagging Persons (other than the obligation to return any certificates evidencing Membership Interests and limited powers-of-attorney received by the Tag-Along Seller) or any other Person if the Transfer of Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 9.03 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a Transfer of

Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 9.03 by the Tag-Along Seller is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., any of its affiliates or any managed account, investment fund or other vehicle or person who is a passive investor in any investment funds, vehicles or accounts that are managed, sponsored or advised by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sachs & Co. or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “GS Entities”), from engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling (other than this Section 10.02 but solely with respect to WSEP), merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their business.

(f) At any time following the third anniversary of the Closing, BHI may deliver to the Company a notice stating that the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be terminated, which termination shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of such notice.

Section 10.03 Structuring of an IPO. (a) Any IPO shall be structured as either (i) a publicly traded partnership that meets the gross income requirements of Section 7704(c)(2) of the Code or (ii) an “Up-C” transaction (an “UP-C IPO”) as determined by Investor JV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BHI’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required in connection with any other IPO structure not contemplated by the prior sentence. In the case of an Up-C IPO, prior to an Up-C IPO, the Company shall form a corporation that will control the Company (an “UP-C IPO Entity”), the shares of which UP-C IPO Entity shall be offered in the IPO and for which shares the Membership Interests of the Company shall be exchangeable from time to time at the election of the Member holding such Membership Interests with such exchange ratios fixed at the consummation of the UP-C IPO as though the Company effected a dissolution at such time and shares of the UP-C IPO Entity were distributed pursuant to Section 8.02 pursuant to the Fair Market Value as reasonably determined by the Board in connection with such UP-C IPO. If BHI Consents to an IPO other than an Up-C IPO or IPO described in Section 10.03(a)(i), the Company may, as reasonably determined by the Board, (i) form a corporation into which each Member will contribute such Member’s Membership Interests (a “HoldCo IPO Entity”), or (ii) engage in any other restructuring transaction (including the conversion of the Company into a corporation) in each case, for purposes of effecting the IPO and as described below. The Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company in

implementing any restructuring of the Company undertaken in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.03.

(b) In the case of an IPO of a HoldCo IPO Entity, as a result of the contributions of the Membership Interests to the HoldCo IPO Entity, BHI and its Affiliates (in the aggregate), Investor JV and its Affiliates (in the aggregate) and any Member that is not BHI or Investor JV will receive shares of the HoldCo IPO Entity (the “HoldCo Stock”) as though the Company effected a dissolution upon the consummation of such HoldCo IPO and such HoldCo Stock were distributed pursuant to Section 8.02 pursuant to the Fair Market Value as reasonably determined by the Board in connection with such HoldCo IPO, as applicable. After the formation of the HoldCo IPO Entity and the contributions referred to above, (i) except where the context clearly requires otherwise, the term, “Company”, shall refer to the HoldCo IPO Entity, (ii) the terms “Membership Interests” and “Members” and similar terms that are applicable to limited liability companies and used in this Agreement shall refer to the HoldCo Stock, the HoldCo IPO Entity shareholders and similarly corresponding terms applicable to the corporate form and (iii) the parties agree to enter into, and to cause the HoldCo IPO Entity to enter into, an agreement setting forth, to the extent applicable to a corporation and permitted by applicable Law, shareholder rights and obligations substantially equivalent to those applicable to Members set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Members shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities as set forth in Section 10.06. For the avoidance of doubt, the registration rights provided to the Members and their Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.03(b) shall be with respect to the HoldCo Stock constituting Registrable Securities received in exchange for the contributions by the Members described above. The parties shall cause such contributions to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code and shall not take any action that would be reasonably likely to prevent such contributions from qualifying as such a transaction.

(i) the Board shall admit the UP-C IPO Entity as the managing Member of the Company, in which case, the UP-C IPO Entity shall replace the Board as the manager of the Company. Thereafter, the business and affairs of the UP-C IPO Entity and the Company shall be conducted as nearly as practicable in such manner that: (w) the UP-C IPO Entity shall have no business activities other than the management of and ownership of interests in the Company and any other entity hereafter acquired by the Company after obtaining any requisite Board and Member approvals provided herein; (x) all of the costs and expenses of the UP-C IPO Entity shall be borne or reimbursed by the Company and any funds received by the UP-C IPO Entity shall be contributed (in the case of a sale of equity or other receipt of non-borrowed funds) or loaned (in the case of incurrence of Debt) to the Company; (y) the net proceeds from any sale of shares of the UP-C IPO Entity (“UP-C Entity Stock”) shall be invested in Membership Interests of the Company and the net proceeds from the incurrence of Debt by the UP-C IPO Entity shall be invested in Debt of the Company; and (z) the UP-C IPO Entity shall otherwise have no assets or liabilities (other than temporary investments of cash pending a contribution or loan of such amounts to the UP-C IPO Entity, de minimis assets and operating payables) other than its ownership interest in the

Company. In connection with the formation of the UP-C IPO Entity and its admission to the Company as managing Member, the Members shall be issued, for nominal consideration, shares of UP-C Entity Stock that carry voting rights that are equivalent to the voting rights such Member would have received in the event of an IPO of a HoldCo IPO Entity. Such shares shall carry no economic rights and shall be surrendered upon an exchange of Membership Interests for UP-C Entity Stock. In addition, the Members shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities as set forth in Section 10.06. For the avoidance of doubt, the registration rights provided to the Members and their Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.03(c) shall be with respect to the UP-C IPO Entity Stock constituting Registrable Securities received in exchange for the contributions by the Members described above.

(ii) BHI and Investor JV (or one or more of its Members) shall be entitled to periodic payments from the UP-C IPO Entity (and any successor entity thereto) equal to 85% or such other customary percentage (provided that the same percentage shall apply with respect to BHI and Investor JV) of the cash tax benefit, if any, to the UP-C IPO Entity (and any consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the UP-C IPO Entity is, or thereafter becomes, a member) arising from any step-up in tax basis resulting from each exchange by BHI or Investor JV (or one or more of its Members), as applicable, of Membership Interests for shares of UP-C Entity Stock (or shares of stock of any successor entity). Prior to, or concurrently with, the UP-C IPO, BHI, Investor JV, Investor JV's members and the UP-C IPO Entity shall enter into a tax receivable agreement with customary terms to govern the calculation and making of such payments, it being understood that such tax savings shall be determined using a “with and without” methodology. For the avoidance of doubt, each such party will be entitled to payments related to the deductions provided by that party on their own specific exchange with the Up-C IPO Entity. Should any party provide a step-up that is non-deductible to the Up-C IPO Entity, this will not affect the entitlement to payments of the other parties.

(d) In the case of an IPO following any other restructuring transaction, the provisions of Sections 10.03(b) and 10.03(c), as applicable, shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Section 10.04 Actions in Connection with an IPO. Each Member shall do, execute and perform all such acts, deeds and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Board to facilitate an IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, all actions in connection with a consummation of an IPO shall not be subject to Section 5.02 or any other provision herein that terminates upon the consummation of an IPO.

Section 10.05 Direction of Indemnification Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) if BHI becomes aware of any damages for which the Company may be entitled to seek indemnification from Investor JV or any of its Affiliates under the Contribution Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, (i) BHI shall notify the Company and (ii) BHI shall be entitled to seek indemnification on behalf of the Company with respect to such damages as if BHI were the indemnified party with respect to such damages; provided, that

any amounts recovered from Investor JV or any of its Affiliates with respect to such damages shall be paid to the Company, and (b) if Investor JV becomes aware of any damages for which the Company may be entitled to seek indemnification from BHI or any of its Affiliates under the Contribution Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, (i) Investor JV shall notify the Company and (ii) Investor JV shall be entitled to seek indemnification on behalf of the Company with respect to such damages as if Investor JV were the indemnified party with respect to such damages; provided, that any amounts recovered from BHI or any of its Affiliates with respect to such damages shall be paid to the Company.

Section 10.06 Registration Rights. In connection with an IPO, the Company shall enter into (or cause the HoldCo IPO Entity or the UP-C IPO Entity, as applicable, to enter into) a registration rights agreement with respect to all Registrable Securities then held by the Members (a) providing to each of BHI and Investor JV, three demand registrations per calendar year and customary S- 3 registration rights (including procedures with respect to “shelf takedowns”), (b) providing to all Members customary piggyback registration rights and (c) otherwise on customary terms.

Section 10.07 Budget. The initial Approved Budget (covering the period from the Closing Date through and until December 31, 2019 (as it may be modified, amended or supplemented by the Board in accordance with Section 5.02, the “Initial Approved Budget”) is attached hereto as Schedule 10.07. No later than 60 days prior to the end of each fiscal year, the Company shall prepare and present to the Board a three year budget (a “Three Year Budget,” and the Initial Approved Budget or a Three Year Budget approved by the Board, an “Approved Budget ”) for the three fiscal years immediately following such fiscal year. The Three Year Budget shall contain, among other things, (a) projected financial statements (projected profit and loss, balance sheet, and changes in financial position) for such fiscal years, (b) projected expenditures (expense and capital) for such fiscal years, (c) subject to Section 5.02(a)(xix), Capital Contributions for such fiscal years, if any, (d) projected distributions for such fiscal years and (e) such other items as are set forth in the Initial Approved Budget. If the Board fails to approve the Three Year Budget prior to the first day of the first fiscal year to be covered by such budget, the Company shall continue to operate under the most recently Approved Budget until a new Three Year Budget is approved; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Approved Budgets are only projections, and the conduct of the business of the Company may deviate from such Approved Budgets if deemed prudent to the extent approved by the Board, including, if applicable, in accordance with Section 5.02.

Section 10.08 Political Contributions. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and officers, directors and employees acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates not to, maintain, form, sponsor or in any way contribute money or anything of value to, any political action committee or political candidate, including any state, district, local or national party committee, without the prior written consent of Investor JV.

Section 10.09 No Promotion. Neither Investor JV nor BHI will, without the prior written consent of BHI or Investor JV, as applicable, (a) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of BHI, Investor JV, any of Investor JV’s members or any of their respective Affiliates, or any Investor JV or employee of any such Affiliates, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service ▇▇▇▇, symbol, logo or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by BHI,

Investor JV, any of Investor JV’s members or any of their respective Affiliates, or (b) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by the Company has been approved or endorsed by BHI, Investor JV, any of Investor JV’s members or any of their respective Affiliates.
