ARTICLE III

FUTURE TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.1 Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 60 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer for each of the 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029, and 2031 Taxable Years (each a “Reporting Taxable Year”), FINV will provide to Mosing Holdings:

(a) a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, if any, for such Reporting Taxable Year and the immediately preceding Taxable Year and the Tax Benefit Payment, if any, due to Mosing Holdings pursuant to Section 3.3(a) for such Reporting Taxable Year and the immediately preceding Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”); and

(b) schedules and work papers, as determined by FINV or requested by Mosing Holdings, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of such Tax Benefit Schedule.

Section 3.2 Procedure; Amendments.

(a) Following delivery of a Tax Benefit Schedule, FINV will allow Mosing Holdings reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives at the Corporate Taxpayer, as reasonably requested by Mosing Holdings, in connection with a review of such Tax Benefit Schedule. A Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties 30 calendar days from the first date on which Mosing Holdings has received such Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto unless Mosing Holdings (i) within 30 calendar days after receiving such Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, provides FINV with notice of a material objection to such Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right to provide an Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date such waiver is received by FINV. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by FINV of such Objection Notice, FINV and Mosing Holdings shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 6.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

(b) A Tax Benefit Schedule delivered with respect to any Reporting Taxable Year and the immediately preceding Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by FINV (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Tax Benefit Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in such Tax Benefit Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to the Taxable Years covered by such Tax Benefit Schedule after the date such Tax Benefit Schedule was provided to Mosing Holdings, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for the Taxable Years attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Years covered by such Tax Benefit Schedule, or (v) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for the Taxable Years covered by such Tax Benefit Schedule attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for any such Taxable Years (any such Tax Benefit Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

Section 3.3 Payments and Subordination.

(a) Payments. Within five (5) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to Mosing Holdings with respect to a Reporting Taxable Year and the immediately preceding Taxable Year becomes final in accordance with Section 3.2(a), FINV shall pay to Mosing Holdings an amount equal to the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (i) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Reporting Taxable Year over (ii) the sum of (A) the Deductible plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) (excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts), and (2) the Accrued Amount (such sum, a “Tax Benefit Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, FINV shall not be required to make a Tax Benefit Payment under this Agreement until 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer from and after the Closing exceeds the Deductible, in which event FINV shall only be required to make a Tax Benefit Payment in excess of the Deductible. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by Mosing Holdings to FINV or as otherwise agreed by FINV and Mosing Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including, without limitation, U.S. federal estimated income Tax payments.

(b) No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement or under the 2013 Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in (i) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit in excess of the Deductible and (ii) any Accrued Amounts on any excess amount described in clause (i) being paid to Mosing Holdings pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to achieve these fundamental results.

(c) Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment required to be made by FINV to Mosing Holdings under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of FINV and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of FINV that are not Senior Obligations.

(d) Late Payments by FINV. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment not made to Mosing Holdings when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment was due and payable.

Section 3.4 No Disputes; Consistency; Cooperation.

(a) Participation in FINV’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, FINV shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate Taxpayer and FICV and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FINV shall notify Mosing Holdings of, and keep Mosing Holdings reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and FICV by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of Mosing Holdings under this Agreement, and shall provide to Mosing Holdings reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, FICV and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit.

(b) Consistency. Except upon the written advice of a Qualified Tax Advisor, and except for items that are explicitly characterized as “deemed” or in a similar manner by the terms of this Agreement, FINV and Mosing Holdings agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Reference Assets and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by FINV in any Tax Benefit Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement. Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of the Reconciliation Procedures.

(c) Cooperation. Mosing Holdings shall (i) furnish to FINV in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as FINV may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (ii) make itself available to FINV and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as FINV or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and FINV shall reimburse Mosing Holdings for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 3.4(c).

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

Section 4.1 Termination of Agreement. Subject to Section 2.1 and Section 4.2, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the making of any Tax Benefit Payment relating to the 2031 Reporting Taxable Year and the immediately preceding Taxable Year or, if no such payment is due for such Reporting Taxable Year or the immediately preceding Taxable Year, the date upon which the Tax Benefit Schedule for the 2031 Reporting Taxable Year becomes final pursuant to Section 2.1.

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

Section 6.7 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 6.8 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 6.9, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this Section 6.8 and Section 6.9) (each a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 6.8. The parties hereto shall attempt in good faith to resolve all Disputes by negotiation. If a Dispute between the parties hereto cannot be resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in Houston, Texas in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the State of Texas and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. The award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), any party to this Agreement may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each of the parties to this Agreement (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 6.8 to any such action or proceeding, and (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate.

(c) (i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 6.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forums designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another; and

(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in paragraph (c)(1) of this Section 6.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

Section 6.9 Reconciliation. In the event that FINV and Mosing Holdings are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Section 3.2 and Section 3.4(b) within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless FINV and Mosing Holdings agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or Mosing Holdings or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by FINV except as provided in the next sentence. FINV and Mosing Holdings shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts Mosing Holdings’ position, in which case FINV shall reimburse Mosing Holdings for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts FINV’s position, in which case Mosing Holdings shall reimburse FINV for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 6.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall be binding on FINV and its Subsidiaries and Mosing Holdings and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 6.10 Withholding. FINV shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law; provided that, prior to deducting or withholding any such amounts, FINV shall notify Mosing Holdings and shall consult in good faith with Mosing Holdings regarding the basis for such deduction or withholding. FINV and Mosing Holdings shall reasonably cooperate with each other to minimize the amounts required to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Mosing Holdings. To the extent that any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholding, Mosing Holdings shall indemnify FINV for any amounts imposed by any Taxing Authority for the failure to withhold. Mosing Holdings shall promptly provide to FINV (or other applicable withholding agent) any applicable Tax forms and certifications reasonably requested in connection with determining whether any such deduction or withholding is required under any provision of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. Tax law.

Section 6.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a U.S. Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

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

(b) If the Corporate Taxpayer (or any member of a group described in Section 6.11(a)) transfers or is deemed to transfer (directly or indirectly) any Reference Asset to a transferee that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and that is neither treated as a member of the group that makes up the Corporate Taxpayer nor a member of a group described in Section 6.11(a)), in a transaction in which the transferee’s basis in the property acquired is determined in whole or in part by reference to such transferor’s basis in such property, then, before transferring such Reference Asset, the Corporate Taxpayer shall cause such transferee to assume the obligation to make payments hereunder with respect to the applicable Exchange Basis Adjustment associated with any Reference Asset or interest therein acquired (directly or indirectly) in such transfer (taking into account any gain recognized in the transaction) in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement as the transferee (or one of its Affiliates) actually realizes Tax benefits from such Exchange Basis Adjustment.

Section 6.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Mosing Holdings acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for FINV and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any

confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, concerning FINV and its Affiliates and successors, learned by Mosing Holdings heretofore or hereafter. This Section 6.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by FINV or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of Mosing Holdings in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for Mosing Holdings to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Mosing Holdings (and each employee, representative or other agent of Mosing Holdings or its assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, FICV, and their Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to Mosing Holdings relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

(b) If Mosing Holdings or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 6.12, FINV shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 6.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to FINV or any of its Subsidiaries or Mosing Holdings and the accounts and funds managed by FINV and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
