of profit allocation, are set forth in more detail below. The amount of our manager’s profit allocation
will be based on the extent to which the “total profit allocation amount” (as defined below) with respect to any business,
as of the last day of any fiscal quarter in which a trigger event occurs, which date we refer to as the “calculation date”,
exceeds the relevant hurdle amounts (as described below) with respect to such business, as of such calculation date. Our manager’s
profit allocation will be calculated by an administrator, which will be our manager so long as the management services agreement is in
effect, and such calculation will be subject to a review and approval process by our board of directors. For this purpose, “total
profit allocation amount” will be equal to, with respect to any business as of any calculation date, the sum o ● the
contribution-based profit (as described below) of such business as of such calculation date,
which will be calculated upon the occurrence of any trigger event with respect to such business;
plus ● the excess of our cumulative gains and losses (as described below)
over the high-water mark (as described below) as of such calculation date, which will only be calculated upon the occurrence of a sale
event with respect to such business, and not on a holding event (we generally expect this component to be the most significant component
in calculating total profit allocation amount). Specifically, manager’s profit allocation
will be calculated and paid as follows: ● manager’s
profit allocation will not be paid with respect to a trigger event relating to any business
if the total profit allocation amount, as of any calculation date, with respect to such business
does not exceed such business’ level 1 hurdle amount (based on an 8% annualized hurdle
rate, as described below), as of such calculation date; and 18 ● manager’s
profit allocation will be paid with respect to a trigger event relating to any business if
the total profit allocation amount, as of any calculation date, with respect to such business
exceeds such business’ level 1 hurdle amount, as of such calculation date. Our manager’s
profit allocation to be paid with respect to such calculation date will be equal to the sum
of the followin o 100%
of such business’ total profit allocation amount, as of such calculation date, with
respect to that portion of the total profit allocation amount that exceeds such business’
level 1 hurdle amount (but is less than or equal to such business’ level 2 hurdle amount
(which is based on a 10% annualized hurdle rate, as described below), in each case, as of
such calculation date. We refer to this portion of the total profit allocation amount as
the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is intended to provide our manager
with an overall profit allocation of 20% of the business’ total profit allocation amount
until such business’ level 2 hurdle amount has been reached; plus o 20%
of the total profit allocation amount, as of such calculation date, that exceeds such business’
level 2 hurdle amount as of such calculation date; minus o the
high-water mark allocation, if any, as of such calculation date. The effect of deducting
the high-water mark allocation is to take into account profit allocations our manager has
already received in respect of past gains attributable to previous sale events. The administrator will calculate our manager’s
profit allocation on or promptly following the relevant calculation date, subject to a “true-up” calculation upon availability
of audited or unaudited consolidated financial statements, as the case may be, to the extent not available on such calculation date. Any
adjustment necessitated by the true-up calculation will be made in connection with the next calculation of manager’s profit allocation.
Because of the length of time that may pass between trigger events, there may be a significant delay in our ability to realize the benefit,
if any, of a true-up of our manager’s profit allocation. Once calculated, the administrator will submit
the calculation of our manager’s profit allocation, as adjusted pursuant to any true-up, to our board of directors for its review
and approval. The board of directors will have ten business days to review and approve the calculation, which approval shall be automatic
absent disapproval by the board of directors. Our manager’s profit allocation will be paid ten business days after such approval. If the board of directors disapproves of the administrator’s
calculation of manager’s profit allocation, the calculation and payment of manager’s profit allocation will be subject to
a dispute resolution process, which may result in our manager’s profit allocation being determined, at our cost and expense, by
two independent accounting firms. Any determination by such independent accounting firms will be conclusive and binding on us and our
manager. We will also pay a tax distribution to our manager
if our manager is allocated taxable income by us but does not realize distributions from us at least equal to the taxes payable by our
manager resulting from allocations of taxable income. Any such tax distributions will be paid in a similar manner as profit allocations
are paid. For any fiscal quarter in which a trigger event
occurs with respect to more than one business, the calculation of our manager’s profit allocation, including the components thereof,
will be made with respect to each business in the order in which controlling interests in such businesses were acquired or obtained by
us and the resulting amounts shall be aggregated to determine the total amount of manager’s profit allocation. If controlling interests
in two or more businesses were acquired at the same time and such businesses give rise to a calculation of manager’s profit allocation
during the same fiscal quarter, then manager’s profit allocation will be further calculated separately for each such business in
the order in which such businesses were sold. 19 The profit allocations and tax distributions will
be paid prior to the payment of distributions to our shareholders. If we do not have sufficient liquid assets to pay the profit allocations
or tax distributions when due, we may be required to liquidate assets or incur debt in order to pay such profit allocation. Our manager
will have the right to elect to defer the payment of our manager’s profit allocation due on any payment date. Once deferred, our
manager may demand payment thereof upon 20 business days’ prior written notice. Termination of the management services agreement,
by any means, will not affect our manager’s rights with respect to the allocation shares that it owns, including its right to receive
profit allocations, unless our manager exercises its put right to sell such allocation shares to us. Example of Calculation of Manager’s
Profit Allocation Our manager will receive a profit allocation
at the end of the fiscal quarter in which a trigger event occurs, as follows (all dollar amounts are in millions): Assumptions Year 1: Acquisition of Company A Acquisition of Company B Year 4 Company A (or assets thereof) sold
for $25 capital gain (as defined below) over its net book value of assets at time of sale, which is a qualifying trigger event Company A’s average allocated
share of our consolidated net equity over its ownership is $50 Company A’s holding period in
quarters is 12 (assuming that Company A is acquired on the first day of the year) Company A’s contribution-based
profit since acquisition is $5 Year 6: Company B’s contribution-based
profit since acquisition is $7 Company B’s average allocated
share of our consolidated net equity over its ownership is $25 Company B’s holding period in
quarters is 20 Company B’s cumulative gains
and losses are $20 Manager elects to have holding period

share of our overhead for each fiscal quarter ending during such measurement period. ● A
business’ “ average allocated share of our consolidated equity ” will
be equal to, with respect to any measurement period as of any calculation date, the average
(i.e., arithmetic mean) of a business’ quarterly allocated share of our consolidated
equity for each fiscal quarter ending during such measurement period. ● “ Capital gains ” (i) means, with respect to any entity,
capital gains (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that are calculated with respect to the sale of capital stock or assets of such
entity and which sale gave rise to a sale event and the calculation of profit allocation and (ii) will be equal to the amount, adjusted
for minority interests, by which (x) the net sales price of such capital stock or assets, as the case may be, exceeded (y) the net book
value (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of such capital stock or assets, as the case may be, at the time of such sale, as reflected
on our consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided, that such amount shall not be less than zero. ● “ Capital
losses ” (i) means, with respect to any entity, capital losses (as determined in
accordance with GAAP) that are calculated with respect to the sale of capital stock or assets
