11. TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into two Tax Receivable Agreements ("TRAs"): one with certain entities affiliated with the Private Equity Investors and the other with certain other Existing Owners (the parties to the two agreements, collectively, the “TRA holders”). The agreements generally provide for the payment by the Company to each TRA holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in connection with the Reorganization Transactions and in periods after the IPO, as a result of certain increases in tax bases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a liability of $46,535 relating to the TRA obligations. Future payments under the TRAs in respect of future exchanges of Focus LLC units for shares of Class A common stock will be in addition to the amount recorded.
