(v)    all Liabilities, including Environmental Liabilities, relating to, arising out of or resulting from the actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Effective Time (whether or not such Liabilities cease being contingent, mature, become known, are asserted or foreseen, or accrue, in each case before, at or after the Effective Time), in each case to the extent that such Liabilities relate to, arise out of or result from the SpinCo Business or a SpinCo Asset;

(vi)    any and all Liabilities that are expressly provided by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (or the Schedules hereto or thereto) as Liabilities to be assumed by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, and all agreements, obligations and Liabilities of any member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(vii)    all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the SpinCo Contracts, the SpinCo Intellectual Property, the SpinCo IT Assets, or the SpinCo Permits;

(x)    each of the ongoing Actions primarily related to the SpinCo Business, including the matters set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(x) (the “SpinCo Actions”), and the portion of each Shared Existing Action allocable to SpinCo and the Transferred Entities;

(xi)    any and all Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(xi); and

(xii)    all Liabilities arising out of claims made by any Third Party (including Parent’s or SpinCo’s respective Representatives or stockholders) against any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the SpinCo Business or the SpinCo Assets or the other business, operations, activities or Liabilities of SpinCo referred to in clauses (i) through (xi) above;

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.3(b) and any Liabilities of any member of the Parent Group pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements shall

20

not be SpinCo Liabilities but instead shall be Parent Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Deferred SpinCo Local Business, the SpinCo Liabilities shall include all Liabilities referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) above as of the time of the transfer of legal title of such Deferred SpinCo Local Business from Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary to SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Subsidiary.

(b)    Parent Liabilities. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Liabilities” shall mean (i) all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time (whether or not such Liabilities cease being contingent, mature, become known, are asserted or foreseen, or accrue, in each case before, at or after the Effective Time) of any member of the Parent Group, in each case that are not SpinCo Liabilities, including any and all Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.3(b); and (ii) all Liabilities arising out of claims made by any Third Party (including Parent’s or SpinCo’s respective Representatives or stockholders) against any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Parent Business or the Parent Assets (the “Parent Actions”).

2.4    Deferred Markets.

(a)    Deferral of Certain Transfers of SpinCo Assets and SpinCo Liabilities. The Parties acknowledge that due to the requirements of applicable Law, the need to obtain certain Approvals or Notifications from Governmental Authorities or for other business reasons, the Parties have agreed to defer until after the Effective Time the transfer of legal title to all or a portion of the SpinCo Assets and the assumption of all or a portion of the SpinCo Liabilities from Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary to SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Subsidiary or designee, in each case, in each of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 2.4(a), where Parent is continuing to operate certain activities of the SpinCo Business pursuant to the Net Economic Benefit Agreement and the Business Lease Agreements (each, a “Deferred Market” and the SpinCo Assets and SpinCo Liabilities in such Deferred Markets, the “Deferred SpinCo Local Businesses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Deferred SpinCo Local Business shall continue to constitute SpinCo Assets or SpinCo Liabilities, as applicable, for all other purposes of this Agreement. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transfer of any SpinCo Assets or the assumption of any SpinCo Liabilities that are deferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated as having been transferred or assumed, as applicable, pursuant to the transaction or transactions set forth in Schedule 2.1(a) pursuant to which such SpinCo Assets or SpinCo Liabilities would actually have been transferred or assumed, as applicable, if not deferred in accordance with this Section 2.4, in each case, as determined in good faith by Parent. The immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed incorporated into Schedule 2.1(a) for purposes of the Tax Matters Agreement.

(b)    Treatment of Deferred SpinCo Local Businesses. In each case, from and after the Effective Time, and until such time as the applicable Deferred SpinCo Local Business has been transferred to SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Subsidiary or designee for the relevant Deferred Market subject and pursuant to the terms of the Net Economic Benefit Agreement or the Business Lease Agreements, as applicable, (i) the Deferred SpinCo Local Business shall be held and operated by Parent or, where applicable, by a Parent Subsidiary or designee, in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of SpinCo or, where applicable, a SpinCo Subsidiary or designee; (ii) Parent (or, where applicable, a Parent Subsidiary or designee) shall pay, perform and discharge fully when due and payable the Liabilities of the Deferred SpinCo Local Business on behalf of and for the benefit of SpinCo or, where applicable, a SpinCo Subsidiary or designee pursuant to the terms of the Net Economic Benefit Agreement or the Business Lease Agreements, as applicable; and (iii) insofar as reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the terms of any Ancillary Agreement related to such Deferred SpinCo Local Business, Parent (or, where applicable, a Parent Subsidiary or designee) shall take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by SpinCo, including sales price determination, supply chain planning and order fulfillment, so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred SpinCo Local Business, including expenses, use, risk of loss, profits and losses, potential for gain and control over such Deferred SpinCo Local Business, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to SpinCo or, where applicable, a SpinCo Subsidiary or designee. Except as otherwise provided in a relevant Ancillary Agreement for such Deferred Market, the Parties agree that (A) Parent (or, where applicable, a Parent Subsidiary or designee) shall remit to SpinCo or a SpinCo Subsidiary or designee the amounts received in connection with the performance of each Deferred SpinCo Local Business; and (B) SpinCo or, where applicable, a SpinCo Subsidiary or designee shall reimburse Parent or a Parent Subsidiary or designee for all payments made in connection with the performance of each Deferred SpinCo Local Business and the discharge of any Liabilities in connection therewith.

21

(c)    Transfer of Deferred SpinCo Local Businesses. The Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions (including obtaining the requisite Approvals and Notifications from Governmental Authorities) to permit the legal transfer of the Deferred SpinCo Local Businesses as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time. Upon receipt of all requisite Approvals and Notifications from Governmental Authorities and the occurrence of all other actions that permit the legal transfer of a Deferred SpinCo Local Business from a member of the Parent Group to a member of the SpinCo Group, the Parties shall promptly complete such transfer.

2.5    Approvals and Notifications.

(a)    Approvals and Notifications for SpinCo Assets and Liabilities. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any SpinCo Asset, the assumption of any SpinCo Liability, the Separation, or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Parent and SpinCo, neither Parent nor SpinCo shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(b)    Delayed SpinCo Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the SpinCo Group of any SpinCo Asset or assumption by the SpinCo Group of any SpinCo Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distribution would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approvals or Notifications that have not been obtained or made by the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the SpinCo Group of such SpinCo Assets or the assumption by the SpinCo Group of such SpinCo Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such SpinCo Assets or SpinCo Liabilities shall continue to constitute SpinCo Assets and SpinCo Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c)    Treatment of Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any SpinCo Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any SpinCo Liability (or a portion thereof) (in each case (other than Shared Contracts, which are governed solely by Section 2.8(c); or the leasehold interests, subleasehold interests, license interests or other real property interests under the Real Estate Separation Documents, which are governed solely by Section 2.17) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(b) or for any other reason (any such SpinCo Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed SpinCo Asset” and any such SpinCo Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed SpinCo Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the Parent Group retaining such Delayed SpinCo Asset or such Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the SpinCo Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the SpinCo Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Parent Group retaining such Delayed SpinCo Asset or such Delayed SpinCo Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with SpinCo Group past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member

22

of the SpinCo Group to whom such Delayed SpinCo Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the SpinCo Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, to the SpinCo Group.

(d)    Transfer of Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed SpinCo Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed SpinCo Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(c), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed SpinCo Asset or the assumption of any Delayed SpinCo Liability have been removed (or, in the case of a Deferred SpinCo Local Business, if later, upon the Local Closing), the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed SpinCo Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(e)    Costs for Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. Any member of the Parent Group retaining a Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed SpinCo Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money, unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by SpinCo or the member of the SpinCo Group entitled to the Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by SpinCo or the member of the SpinCo Group entitled to such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability; provided, however, that the Parent Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution in value of any Delayed SpinCo Asset without first providing the SpinCo Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the SpinCo Group commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution in value.

(f)    Approvals and Notifications for Parent Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Parent Asset, the assumption of any Parent Liability, the Separation or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Parent and SpinCo, neither Parent nor SpinCo shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(g)    Delayed Parent Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Parent Group of any Parent Asset or assumption by the Parent Group of any Parent Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distribution would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, then, unless the Parties mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the Parent Group of such Parent Assets or the assumption by the Parent Group of such Parent Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Parent Assets or Parent Liabilities shall continue to constitute Parent Assets and Parent Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

23

(h)    Treatment of Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Parent Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Parent Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(g) or for any other reason (any such Parent Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Parent Asset” and any such Parent Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Parent Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the SpinCo Group retaining such Delayed Parent Asset or such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Parent Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Parent Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the SpinCo Group retaining such Delayed Parent Asset or such Delayed Parent Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Parent Group past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Parent Group to which such Delayed Parent Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Parent Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time or the Local Closing Date, as applicable, to the Parent Group.

(i)    Transfer of Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Parent Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Parent Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(h), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Parent Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Parent Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Parent Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(j)    Costs for Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. Any member of the SpinCo Group retaining a Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Parent Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money, unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Parent or the member of the Parent Group entitled to the Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Parent or the member of the Parent Group entitled to such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability; provided, however, that the SpinCo Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution in value of any Delayed Parent Asset without first providing the Parent Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the Parent Group commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution in value.

(k)    Liquidation of Zimmer US, Inc. It is acknowledged and agreed that, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Zimmer US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zimmer US”), dated as of August 3, 2018 (the “Zimmer US Certificate of Incorporation”), in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Zimmer US following the Effective Time, certain members of the SpinCo Group may be entitled to distributions by virtue of such members being former holders of common stock of Zimmer US who were Patrons (as such term is defined in the Zimmer US Certificate of Incorporation) of Zimmer US. Notwithstanding anything in the Zimmer US Certificate of Incorporation to

24

the contrary, the Parties agree that all of the benefits and burdens of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Zimmer US, including any distributions resulting therefrom, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Parent Group, and that any distributions received by a member of the SpinCo Group as a result of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Zimmer US shall be transferred to a member of the Parent Group as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof.

Subject to Section 2.4 with respect to the Local Closing of a Deferred SpinCo Local Business, if and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased SpinCo Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Parent shall promptly assign or novate, or cause to be assigned or novated, and SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Group member shall assume, such Unreleased SpinCo Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

(b)    It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.10(a), there will be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the SpinCo Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or more accounts maintained by SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group.

(c)    It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.10(a), there will continue to be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the Parent Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or more accounts maintained by Parent or a member of the Parent Group.

(d)    Without limiting the rights to indemnification provided in this Agreement, with respect to any outstanding checks issued or payments initiated by Parent, SpinCo, or any of the members of their respective Groups prior to the Effective Time (or, in the case of any Deferred SpinCo Local Business, prior to the Local Closing Date), such outstanding checks and payments shall be honored following the Effective Time (or, as applicable, following the Local Closing Date) by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.

(e)    Subject, in the case of any Deferred SpinCo Local Business, to Section 2.4, as between Parent and SpinCo (and the members of their respective Groups), all payments made and reimbursements received after the Effective Time by either Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the other Party, the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off, and such payments shall be documented in a manner satisfactory to the Parties.

(b)    Each of Parent (on behalf of itself and each of member of the Parent Group) and SpinCo (on behalf of itself and each of member of the SpinCo Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.12(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any SpinCo Liability or any Parent Liability, respectively, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

2.14    Financial Information Certifications. Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as each is contemplated by the Exchange Act) are currently applicable to SpinCo as its Subsidiary. In order to enable the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of SpinCo to make the certifications required of them under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 following the Distribution in respect of any quarterly or annual fiscal period of SpinCo that begins on or prior to the Distribution Date in respect of which financial statements are not included in the Form 10 (a “Straddle Period”), upon twenty (20) business days’ advance written request by SpinCo, Parent shall provide SpinCo with one (1) or more certifications with respect to such disclosure controls and procedures and the effectiveness thereof and whether there were any changes in the internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal control over financing reporting, which certification(s) shall (x) be with respect to the applicable Straddle Period (it being understood that no certification need be provided with respect to any period or portion of any period after the Distribution Date) and (y) be in substantially the same form as those that had been provided by officers or employees of Parent in similar certifications delivered prior to the Distribution Date, with such changes thereto as Parent may reasonably determine. Such certification(s) shall be provided by Parent (and not by any officer or employee in their individual capacity).

2.15    Real Estate Separation Documents. Prior to the Distribution, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective applicable Group members to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain and make any necessary Approvals or Notifications (whether from Third Parties or Governmental Authorities) and enter into the Real Estate Separation Documents to make the Real Estate Separation Documents effective at or prior to the Distribution; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require entering into any Real Estate Separation Document unless and until any necessary Approvals or Notifications are obtained or made, as applicable. In the event any such Approvals or Notifications have not been obtained prior to the Distribution, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts (subject to the terms of this Section 2.15) to obtain or make such Approval or Notification as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Distribution and, upon receipt of such Approval or Notification, shall execute the applicable Real Estate Separation Document; provided, however, that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to contribute capital, pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation or the relinquishment or forbearance of any rights) to any Person in order to obtain or make any such Approval or Notification (other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees). If any Real Estate Separation Document is not effective prior to the Distribution, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, cooperate in any reasonable and permissible arrangement to provide that, following the Distribution and until such time of effectiveness of the applicable Real Estate Separation Document, a member of the SpinCo Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group under the proposed terms of such Real Estate Separation Document and a member of the Parent Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of Parent or the applicable member of the Parent Group under the proposed terms of such Real Estate Separation Document.

(xii)    Parent shall have received the proceeds from the SpinCo Cash Distribution; and

(b)    The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and not for the benefit of any other Person and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Parent or the Parent Board to waive or not waive any such condition or in any way limit Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article IX or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in Article IX.

SpinCo shall not issue paper stock certificates in respect of the SpinCo Shares. The Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.

(b)    Subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4(c), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of whole SpinCo Shares equal to the number of Parent Shares held by such Record Holder on the Record Date multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c)    No fractional shares shall be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Record Holder would

34

otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of SpinCo. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a SpinCo Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall direct the Distribution Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional SpinCo Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Distribution Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions. None of Parent, SpinCo or the Distribution Agent shall be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional SpinCo Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c).

Neither the Distribution Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of Parent or SpinCo. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of Parent Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

(d)    Any SpinCo Shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to SpinCo Shares that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to SpinCo, and SpinCo or its transfer agent shall hold such SpinCo Shares and cash for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such SpinCo Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of SpinCo, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and Parent shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

SpinCo agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time, (i) each such holder shall be entitled to receive all dividends, if any, payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the SpinCo Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the SpinCo Shares then held by such holder.

SpinCo shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the SpinCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). Parent shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Parent Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

(e)    Execution of Further Releases. At any time at or after the Effective Time, at the request of either Party, the other Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.1.

4.2    Indemnification by SpinCo. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, each member of the Parent Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Parent Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

37

(a)    any SpinCo Liability;

(b)    any failure of SpinCo, any other member of the SpinCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;

(c)    any breach by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(d)    the conduct of any business, operation or activity by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group whether before or after the Effective Time;

(e)    except to the extent it relates to a Parent Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the SpinCo Group by any member of the Parent Group that survives following the Distribution, including, but not limited to, the Real Estate Guarantees; and

(f)    any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if SpinCo shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in clause (f) of Section 4.3.

4.3    Indemnification by Parent. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the other members of the Parent Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless SpinCo, each member of the SpinCo Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a)    any Parent Liability;

(b)    any failure of Parent, any other member of the Parent Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Parent Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;

(c)    any breach by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(d)    the conduct of any business, operation or activity by Parent or any member of the Parent Group from and after the Effective Time (other than the conduct of business, operations, or activities for the benefit of SpinCo or any of the members of its Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement);

(e)    except to the extent it relates to a SpinCo Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Parent Group by any member of the SpinCo Group that survives following the Distribution; and

38

(f)    any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in Parent’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if SpinCo shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.3(f) shall be the only statements made explicitly in Parent’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document, and all other information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be information supplied by SpinCo.

4.4    Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a)    The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within thirty (30) days of receiving such payment, the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b)    The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, under the terms of this Agreement pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.5    Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a)    Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Effective Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying

39

Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b)    Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party shall defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided, that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee are true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party-Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (B) the Indemnitee shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim to the extent such Third-Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Authority, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee.

(c)    Allocation of Defense Costs. An Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of a Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense.

(d)    Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnitee’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in the Indemnitee’s possession or under the Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e)    No Settlement. Neither any member of the Parent Group, nor any member of the SpinCo Group, may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which a SpinCo Indemnitee or a Parent Indemnitee, respectively, is seeking or is reasonably expected to seek to be indemnified hereunder without

40

the prior written consent of SpinCo or Parent, respectively, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable by the settling or compromising Party, does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by any SpinCo Indemnitee or any Parent Indemnitee, respectively, provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of each SpinCo Indemnitee or each Parent Indemnitee, respectively, from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party delivers the other Party a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which an Indemnitee is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within ten (10) business days or such longer period, not to exceed twenty (20) days, as may be agreed by the Parties, (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(f)    Allocation of Proceeding Liabilities. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the applicable Action) may be partly Parent Liabilities and partly SpinCo Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on an allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions (or such matters or types of matters have not been allocated or addressed either in the definition of SpinCo Liabilities, in Schedule 2.3(a)(x), or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement), they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third-Party Claim is being resolved.

(g)    Cooperation as to Removal. Each of the Parties agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a Third Party naming two or more Parties (or any Affiliates of such Parties) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any Affiliates of such Parties) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is related solely to an Asset or Liability that the other Party has been allocated under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

4.6    Additional Matters.

(a)    Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b)    Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of such determination that such matter has given, or will likely give rise to, a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; provided that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time, except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party

41

does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c)    Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against such Third Party.

(d)    Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e)    Substitution. In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all reasonable costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

(f)    Tax Matters Agreement Coordination. The provisions of Section 4.2 through Section 4.10 (including Section 4.6(a)-(e)) shall not apply to Taxes to the extent specifically addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, subject to the terms thereof. It is understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement to the extent specifically addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, subject to the terms thereof. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall prevail.

4.7    Right of Contribution.

(a)    Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2 or 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

42

(b)    Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Deferred SpinCo Local Businesses, Delayed SpinCo Assets or Delayed SpinCo Liabilities (except for the intentional misconduct of a member of the Parent Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the SpinCo Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group; (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed Parent Assets or Delayed Parent Liabilities (except for the intentional misconduct of a member of the SpinCo Group) shall be deemed to be the fault of Parent and the other members of the Parent Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group; and (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the Parent Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Parent and the other members of the Parent Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group.

4.8    Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Parent Liabilities by Parent or a member of the Parent Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

4.9    Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be the sole monetary remedies available in respect of this Agreement.

4.10    Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Parent and SpinCo and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1    Insurance Matters.

(a)    SpinCo acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each member of the SpinCo Group and the SpinCo Indemnitees, that, from and after the Effective Time, neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group nor any of the SpinCo Indemnitees shall have any rights to or under any of Parent’s or the Parent Group’s insurance policies, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability incurred by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group or SpinCo Indemnitees prior to the Effective Time (or, with respect to any Deferred SpinCo Local Business, prior to the Local Closing Date), to the extent reasonably possible, Parent or the member of the Parent Group that is insured thereunder will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable insurance company or companies to (i) continue to provide SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo Indemnitees with access to and coverage under the applicable insurance policies, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo Indemnitees and take commercially reasonable actions as

43

reasonably may be requested to assist SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo Indemnitees in connection with such claims under applicable insurance policies; provided, that SpinCo shall in any event be solely responsible for any and all applicable deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums, claims-handling charges, co-payments or any other expenses, charges or fees relating to such claims, including, without limitation, expenses, charges or fees of Parent personnel. In furtherance thereof, except as otherwise addressed in another Ancillary Agreement, to the extent Parent or any of the members of the Parent Group is billed by an insurance carrier or a third-party administrator (including under any workers compensation or auto liability policies) for claims that constitute SpinCo Liabilities or that Parent pays for such claims within a deductible or self-insured retention, Parent shall submit a statement to SpinCo following the end of each quarter (or with such lesser frequency as may be appropriate) setting forth the amount of such claims, and SpinCo shall reimburse Parent within thirty (30) days any amounts paid by it in respect of such SpinCo Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 5.7, neither Parent nor the insurance company or any member of the Parent Group shall be required to maintain any such insurance policies. For the avoidance of doubt, if an accident, first loss or first occurrence date is after the Effective Time (or, with respect to any Deferred SpinCo Local Business, prior to the Local Closing Date), or with respect to any claims-made policies the claim first is made after the Effective Time and is not provided for in Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.7, then no payment for any damages, settlement(s), indemnification(s), costs of defense or any other sums with respect to such accident, first loss, first occurrence or claim shall be available to SpinCo or the members of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo Indemnitees under any such insurance policies. Neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group or SpinCo Indemnitee, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of Parent or any member of the Parent Group pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), shall take, nor shall Parent or any member of the Parent Group be required to take, any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Parent or any member of the Parent Group or Parent Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating, materially changing or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Parent or any member of the Parent Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Parent or any member of the Parent Group or Parent Indemnitee under the applicable insurance policy. At all times, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Groups and Indemnitees to, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.

(c)    At the Effective Time, SpinCo shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with SpinCo’s statutory, contractual and regulatory obligations and all such other insurance policies as are reasonably necessary or customary for companies operating a business similar to the SpinCo Business in every jurisdiction in which SpinCo may operate or face potentially covered exposures. Such insurance programs shall include, without limitation, general and excess liability, workers’ compensation, employers liability, product liability, employment practices liability, D&O liability, fiduciary liability (specifically as provided in Section 5.7), property (including business income and additional and other customary extensions and types of coverage provided to businesses similar to the SpinCo Business) and, to the extent SpinCo or the members of the SpinCo Group participate in any clinical trials, clinical trial coverage.

(d)    SpinCo agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the members of the SpinCo Group, that, from the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1, it or they shall request of all insurance companies that Parent and the members of the Parent Group shall be named as additional insureds or loss payee, whichever is appropriate, under SpinCo’s or the members of the SpinCo Group’s insurance policies in respect of any Parent Liabilities arising out of the SpinCo Business or any accidents, occurrences or actual or alleged wrongful acts or omissions prior to the Effective Time, and provide Parent with proof of such status as additional insured or loss payee. SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse

44

Parent and the members of the Parent Group and Parent Indemnitees for any and all costs or expenses incurred by Parent or the members of the Parent Group or Parent Indemnitees to the extent resulting from any of SpinCo’s or the members of the SpinCo Group’s insurance policies in which Parent or any of the members of the Parent Group are named as additional insureds or resulting from any of Parent’s or the members of the Parent Group’s insurance policies in connection with claims made under such insurance policies for the benefit of SpinCo’s or the members of the SpinCo Group’s directors and officers, including, without limitation, costs or expenses of or associated with any deductibles, self-insured retentions or uninsured losses, including, without limitation, under any D&O Policies referenced in Section 5.7.

(e)    Neither Parent nor any of the members of the Parent Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any of Parent’s or the Parent Group’s claims-made or occurrence-reported liability policies for any acts or omissions by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group or SpinCo Indemnitee incurred prior to the Effective Time.

(f)    This Agreement shall not be considered as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of either Parent or any member of the Parent Group or Parent Indemnitee in respect of any of the Parent insurance policies and programs, or any other contract or policy of insurance or any claim whatsoever.

5.2    Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

5.3    Inducement. Each of SpinCo and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the other Party’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by its covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including its assumption and/or retention of the SpinCo Liabilities or the Parent Liabilities, as applicable, pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and its covenants and agreements contained in Article IV.

5.4    Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.

5.5    Use of Retained Names and Marks. SpinCo hereby acknowledges that Parent or its Affiliates or its or their licensors own all right, title and interest in and to any and all Retained Names and Marks (as defined below) and that, except as expressly provided herein or in the Ancillary Agreements, any and all right of SpinCo to use the Retained Names and Marks shall terminate as of the Distribution Date and shall immediately revert to Parent or its Affiliates, along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. SpinCo further acknowledges that it has no rights in any of the Retained Names and Marks, and that it is not acquiring any rights, directly or indirectly, to use the Retained Names and Marks, except as expressly provided herein or in the Ancillary Agreements. For purposes hereof, “Retained Names and Marks” means any and all company names and other Trademarks that were owned by either Party or any of the members of its Group as of the Effective Time (including all variations, translations, transliterations and acronyms thereof and all company names, Trademarks, internet domain names, social media accounts, addresses and all other identifiers and other identifiers of source or goodwill containing, incorporating or associated with any of the foregoing), excluding, on and after the Distribution Date, Trademarks included in the SpinCo Assets.

45

5.6    No Hire and No Solicitation of Employees. From and after the Distribution Date until the date that is twelve (12) months from Distribution Date, none of Parent, SpinCo or any member of their respective Groups will, without the prior written consent of the other applicable Party, either directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, agree to an employment, contractual or other relationship or otherwise hire, retain or employ any employee of any other Party’s respective Group. Until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Distribution Date, none of Parent, SpinCo or any member of their respective Groups will, without the prior written consent of the other applicable Party, either directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, aid, induce or encourage any employee of any other Party’s respective Group to leave his or her employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall restrict or preclude Parent, SpinCo or any member of their respective Groups from soliciting or hiring (i) during the nonsolicitation period referenced above, any employee who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement or contact by a recruiter, whether in-house or external, that is not specifically targeted or focused on the employees employed by any other Party’s respective Group (and nothing shall prohibit such generalized searches for employees through various means, including, but not limited to, the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or the engagement of search firms to engage in such searches); provided that the applicable Party has not encouraged or advised such firm to approach any such employee; (ii) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the other Party’s respective Group; or (iii) any employee whose employment has been terminated by such employee after sixty (60) days from the date of termination of such employee’s employment. For purposes of this Section 5.6, receipt of the written consent of the then-serving Senior Vice President of Human Resources of Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, shall be required for Parent’s or SpinCo’s consent, as applicable, to be deemed to have been granted.

5.7    Directors and Officers Insurance; Fiduciary Liability Insurance. On and after the Distribution Date, Parent shall not, and shall cause the members of the Parent Group not to, take any action that would limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of SpinCo (or members of the SpinCo Group) prior to the Distribution Date under any directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Policies”) maintained by the members of the Parent Group in respect of claims relating to a period prior to the Distribution Date. Parent shall, and shall cause the members of the Parent Group to, reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors or officers of SpinCo (or members of the SpinCo Group) prior to the Distribution Date in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Policies which could inure to the benefit of such individuals. Parent shall, and shall cause members of the Parent Group to, allow SpinCo and its agents and representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to examine the relevant D&O Policies maintained by Parent and members of the Parent Group pursuant to this Section 5.7. Parent shall provide, and shall cause other members of the Parent Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by SpinCo in order for SpinCo to have in effect on and after the Distribution Date such new D&O Policies as SpinCo deems appropriate with respect to claims reported on or after the Distribution Date.

5.8    No Right to Use Regulatory Information. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5.8(b) (a) none of Parent or any member of the Parent Group shall have a right of reference to or otherwise be entitled to use the regulatory filings or other regulatory information to the extent exclusively related to any SpinCo Products; and (b) none of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group shall have a right of reference to or otherwise be entitled to use the regulatory filings or other regulatory information owned or controlled by Parent or any member of the Parent Group for any products in the Parent Business.

5.9    Procedures Related to Certain Actions.

(a)    Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.5, and subject to Section 5.1, the Parties acknowledge and agree that SpinCo shall exclusively conduct and control the defense, settlement and/or other resolution of the SpinCo Actions and Parent shall exclusively conduct and control the defense, settlement and/or other resolution of the Parent Actions. Each Party agrees that if the other Party is wrongly named in its claim, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the wrongly named Party from the claim and shall consult with the wrongly named Party until its removal from the claim.

(b)    A list of Actions asserted against, involving or potentially involving both Parent, the members of the Parent Group and/or the Parent Business and SpinCo, the members of the SpinCo Group and/or the SpinCo Business as of the date hereof for which costs and liability will be shared is set forth on Schedule 5.9(b) (the “Shared Existing Actions”) together with (x) the Party allocated responsibility to conduct and control the defense, settlement and/or other resolution of such matters (such named Party, the “Controlling Party”) and (y) unless otherwise agreed by the Controlling Party and the other Party (the “Non-Controlling Party”), each Party’s respective share of costs and liability for any such Shared Existing Action.

(c)    With respect to any Actions arising after the date hereof that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree the Party that has primary responsibility for Liabilities arising in connection with such Action shall be the Controlling Party with respect to such Action (unless the control of such defense has otherwise been allocated or addressed in Schedule 2.3(a)(x), Schedule 5.9(b), or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). To the extent that the Parties’ respective share of costs and Liability with respect to any such Action is not set forth on Schedule 5.9(b), the Parties shall negotiate in good-faith to allocate responsibility for such costs and liability based on the extent to which such Action relates, on the one hand, to SpinCo, the SpinCo Business, a SpinCo Asset and a SpinCo Liability, and, on the other hand, Parent, the Parent Business, a Parent Asset and a Parent Liability.

(d)    The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense and settlement of any Action described in Sections 5.9(b) and 5.9(c). The Controlling Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include the Non-Controlling Party in the defense and resolution of any Action described in Sections 5.9(b) and 5.9(c); provided, however, that the Non-Controlling Party shall be responsible for its proportionate share of any costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including its share of any settlement, judgement, award or other resolution and any incremental cost to the Controlling Party of including the Non-Controlling Party in such settlement); provided further, that the Non-Controlling Party shall be permitted in good faith to opt out of any settlement if the Non-Controlling Party agrees to be responsible for defending and settling any remaining claims with respect to such Action.

5.10    Transition Committee. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall establish a transition committee (the “Transition Committee”) that shall consist of an equal number of members designated by Parent and SpinCo at all times, with each Party having the right to replace the Transition Committee members delegated by it from time to time and taking such efforts as are necessary from time to time to cause the Transition Committee to consist of an equal number of representatives of Parent and SpinCo (in a total number determined from time to time by the Parties). The initial members of the Transition Committee shall be the individuals specified on Schedule 5.10. The Transition Committee shall be responsible for monitoring and managing all matters related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements. The Transition Committee shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to (a) establish one or more subcommittees from time to time as it deems appropriate or as may be described in any Ancillary Agreements, with each such subcommittee comprised of an equal number of members representing each Party, and each such subcommittee having such scope of responsibility as may be determined by the Transition Committee from time to time; (b) delegate to any such committee any of the powers of the Transition Committee; and (c) combine, modify the scope of responsibility of, and disband any such subcommittees, and to modify or reverse any such delegations. The

47

Transition Committee shall establish general procedures for managing the responsibilities delegated to it under this Section 5.10, and may modify such procedures from time to time. All decisions by the Transition Committee or any subcommittee thereof shall be effective only with majority approval, and any such approval must include the approval of at least one member of the Transition Committee designated by Parent and at least one member of the Transition Committee designated by SpinCo. The Parties shall utilize the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any matters as to which the Transition Committee is not able to reach a decision.

6.1    Agreement for Exchange of Information and Cooperation.

(a)    Subject to Section 6.9, any other applicable confidentiality obligations and the record retention programs of each Party, each of Parent and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each member of its Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after request therefor, any Information and documents or other materials (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or its Group that the requesting Party or its Group requests to the extent that (i) such Information relates to the SpinCo Business, or any SpinCo Asset or SpinCo Liability, if SpinCo is the requesting Party, or to the Parent Business, or any Parent Asset or Parent Liability, if Parent is the requesting Party; (ii) such Information is reasonably requested in connection with the requesting Party’s required compliance with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or under any contract, agreement, obligation, indenture, instrument, lease, promise, arrangement, release, warranty, commitment or undertaking to which it or any member of its Group is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound; (iii) such Information is reasonably requested in connection with the requesting Party’s compliance with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority or under any applicable Law or securities exchange rule; or (iv) such Information is reasonably requested by the requesting Party in evaluating its potential exposure to Liabilities of the other Party’s Group under guarantees and other obligations that have not been fully novated, replaced and/or transferred to such Party’s Group in accordance with Section 2.6 or 2.7; provided, however, that, in the event that the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental to the Party providing the Information, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing Information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such Information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such Information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of any Party under Section 6.4.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the Effective Time, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in its Information requests and other reasonable requests to enable (i) the other Party to meet its applicable financial reporting and related obligations under applicable Laws and securities exchange rules and timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and

48

auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws; (iii) the other Party to meet its other applicable obligations imposed by any Governmental Authority or under any applicable Law or securities exchange rule and (iv) the other Party to meet its applicable obligations under any contract, agreement, obligation, indenture, instrument, lease, promise, arrangement, release, warranty, commitment or undertaking to which it or any member of its Group is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound.

(c)    Each Party agrees that all requests for Information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be made in accordance with the procedures and processes that may be reasonably established by the other Party to respond to such requests.

6.2    Ownership of Information. The provision of any Information pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such Information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such Information.

6.3    Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting Information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such Information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of Information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested Information). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

6.4    Stored Records.

(a)    The Parties agree and acknowledge that it is not practicable to separate all Tangible Information belonging to the Parties or their Subsidiaries, and that following the Effective Time, each Party (or its Subsidiaries) will have some of the Tangible Information belonging to the other Party and its Subsidiaries stored under its care, custody or control at internal or Third Party records storage locations or otherwise (which may include data on servers) (each, a “Records Facility”). Tangible Information held in a Records Facility maintained or arranged for by the Party other than the Party that owns such Tangible Information is referred to as “Stored Records.” The Party that maintains the Records Facility where Stored Records are held is referred to as the “Custodial Party” and the Party that owns the Stored Records held in the other Party’s Records Facility is referred to as the “Non-Custodial Party.” The Custodial Party shall make such Stored Records available to the Non-Custodial Party upon its request. The Non-Custodial Party agrees to reimburse the Custodial Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, redacting (where required), copying, storing, transporting and otherwise complying with the request to provide or make available such Stored Records (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested Stored Records). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

(b)    Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to maintain the Stored Records as to which it is the Custodial Party in accordance with its regular records retention policies and procedures and the terms of this Section 6.4; and (ii) to comply with the requirements of any “Litigation Hold” that relates to Stored Records as to which it is the Custodial Party that relate to (x) any Action that is pending as of the Effective Time; or (y) any Action that arises or becomes threatened or reasonably anticipated after the Effective Time as to which the Custodial Party has received a written preservation notice of the applicable “Litigation Hold” from the Non-Custodial Party to which the Stored Records are subject. Upon the termination of any “Litigation Hold” related to Stored Records, the Non-Custodial Party shall promptly notify the Custodial Party so that the Custodial Party can destroy the relevant Stored Records where appropriate. Each Party agrees, with respect to the Stored Records as to which it is the Custodial Party, to notify the Non-Custodial Party in the event of a data loss or cyber event that affects the Stored Records of the Non-Custodial Party.

49

6.5    Limitations of Liability. Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Party providing such Information. Neither Party shall have any Liability to any other Party if any Information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

6.6    Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

(a)    The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any conflict or inconsistency between this Article VI and the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall prevail.

(b)    Any party that receives, pursuant to a request for Information in accordance with this Article VI, Tangible Information that is not relevant to its request shall, at the request of the providing Party, (i) return it to the providing Party or, at the providing Party’s request, destroy such Tangible Information; and (ii) deliver to the providing Party a written confirmation that such Tangible Information was returned or destroyed, as the case may be, which confirmation shall be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Party.

(c)    When any Tangible Information provided by one Party to the other Party (other than Tangible Information provided pursuant to Section 6.4) is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or is no longer required to be retained by applicable Law, the receiving Party shall promptly, after request of the other Party, either return to the other Party all Tangible Information in the form in which it was originally provided (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or, if the providing Party has requested that the other Party destroy such Tangible Information, confirm to the other Party that it has destroyed such Tangible Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided that this obligation to return or destroy such Tangible Information shall not apply to any Tangible Information solely related to the receiving Party’s business, Assets, Liabilities, operations or activities.

6.7    Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a)    After the Effective Time, except in the case of a Dispute between Parent and SpinCo, or any members of their respective Groups, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents or Information within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents or Information may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b)    If an Indemnifying Party elects to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members

50

of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents or Information within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents or Information may reasonably be required in connection with such defense or any related settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense or any related settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions and in accordance with the provisions regarding cooperation and/or consultation set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, except in the case of a Dispute between Parent and SpinCo, or any members of their respective Groups.

(d)    Without limiting any provision of this Section 6.7, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect to any Intellectual Property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a Third Party in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim.

(e)    The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents without regard to whether such person or the employer of such person could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).

6.8    Privileged Matters.

(a)    The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges and immunities that may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services shall be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be.

(b)    The Parties agree as follows:

(i)    Parent shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Parent Business and not to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the SpinCo Group. Parent shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Parent Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the SpinCo Group.

(ii)    SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the SpinCo Business and not to the Parent Business, whether or not the Privileged Information

51

is in the possession or under the control of any member of the SpinCo Group or any member of the Parent Group. SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any SpinCo Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the SpinCo Group or any member of the Parent Group.

(iii)    If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information, unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Parent Business, solely to the SpinCo Business, or to both the Parent Business and the SpinCo Business.

(c)    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to (i) all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and (ii) all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one (1) or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the consent of the other Party.

(d)    If any Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other Party and provide a clear, written explanation of its position on the Dispute; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose, except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e)    Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and, prior to the production or disclosure of any Privileged Information, shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(f)    Any furnishing of, or access to or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement between Parent and SpinCo set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that (i) their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups as needed pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement

52

or otherwise, and (ii) in the event of any exchange by one Party to the other Party of any Privileged Information that should not have been transferred pursuant to the terms of this Article VI, the Party receiving such Privileged Information shall promptly return such Privileged Information to and at the request of the Party that has the right to assert the privilege or immunity. The Parties agree that they have or may in the future have common legal interests in the Parent Liabilities and any corresponding legal rights, in the SpinCo Liabilities and any corresponding legal rights, in the Privileged Information and in the preservation of the protected status of the Privileged Information. The Parties have disclosed and exchanged, and will disclose and exchange, certain Privileged Information between and among themselves in order to further the Parties’ common legal interests.

(g)    In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements to implement and/or supersede the provisions of Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8 where necessary or useful for this purpose.

6.9    Confidentiality.

(a)    Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10 and without prejudice to any longer period that may be provided for in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Effective Time until the five (5)-year anniversary of the Effective Time, and in the case of trade secrets, until the relevant trade secret no longer retains its status or qualifies as trade secrets under applicable Laws (other than due to any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of its obligations hereunder), each of Parent and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Parent’s confidential, personal and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential, personal and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential, personal and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential, personal and proprietary information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group), which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of such other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group. If any confidential, personal and proprietary information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential, personal and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b)    No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and is no longer subject to any legal hold or other document preservation obligation, each Party shall promptly, at the request of the other Party,

53

either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, that the Parties may retain electronic backup versions of such information maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; provided further, that any such information so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party agrees to comply with all applicable privacy, data protection, data security or other applicable Laws, policies and contracts with regard to the collection, maintenance, disclosure, retention or destruction the personal information in its possession, custody or control.

(c)    Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies and/or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two (2) Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies, as well as privacy, data protection, data security or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy policies and privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

6.10    Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

6.11    Security.

(a)    If either Party is given access to the other Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) computer systems or Software (collectively, the “Systems”) or physical facilities in connection with the exchange of Information under this Agreement, such Party shall comply with all of the other Party’s reasonable policies, procedures and requirements in relation to Systems or physical facilities (collectively, “Security Requirements”) and will not tamper with, compromise, attempt to circumvent or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such other Party. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Security Requirements, this Agreement will govern. Each Party shall access and use only those Systems of the other Party for which it has been granted the right to access and use, and only to the extent

reasonably necessary in connection with the provision or receipt, as applicable, of Information. Each Party shall be responsible for its employees’ compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement in connection with such access, including access to comingled or sensitive Information.

(b)    Each Party will ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems or physical facilities of the other Party (or its Affiliates) gain such access, and will prohibit the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of Information or other property contained therein, including notifying its personnel of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and of the Security Requirements.

(c)    If, at any time, either Party determines that (i) any of its personnel has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Security Requirements of the other Party, (ii) any unauthorized personnel of such Party has accessed the Systems or physical facilities of the other Party, or (iii) any of the personnel of such Party has engaged in activities that may lead or leads to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of Information or Software, such Party shall immediately terminate any such personnel’s access to the Systems or physical facilities of the other Party and immediately notify the other Party. In addition, each Party shall have the right to deny the personnel of the other Party access to any Systems or physical facilities upon written notice to the other Party in the event that such Party reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set forth above in this Section 6.11(c). Each Party will cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to the Systems or facilities of the other Party.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1    Negotiation. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, or the breach thereof (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved within a reasonable period of time as follows: (a) first, by negotiation by the applicable local or functional leads as set forth in the Ancillary Agreements (as applicable), (b) and then, if there remains a Dispute that is not resolved as a result of the negotiations described in clause (a) or if a Dispute exists involving multiple Ancillary Agreements, this Agreement or otherwise, by good faith negotiations between the designated leaders of the Transition Committee, (c) and then, if a Dispute continues to remain unresolved, by good faith negotiations between the individuals specified on Schedule 7.1. Such reasonable period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days from initiation of the resolution provisions herein unless agreed to in writing by the Parties. If either party serves written notice of a Dispute upon the other party, the parties will first attempt to resolve such Dispute by direct discussions and negotiation (including as set forth in this Section 7.1 or, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable Ancillary Agreement). Resolution of a Dispute pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be confidential, and no written or oral statements or offers made by the Parties during such settlement negotiations shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings, including any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 7.3; provided, further, that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, the Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning on the date of receipt of the Dispute notice and ending on the date that is sixty (60) days thereafter, and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Dispute relates occurring after notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Dispute has been resolved. The initiation of mediation or arbitration hereunder will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

7.2    Mediation. Upon mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may attempt to resolve a Dispute by a mediation administered by the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) under its Mediation Procedure.

55

7.3    Arbitration.

(a)    If a Dispute is not resolved in accordance with Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (or if otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties), either Party shall have the right to commence arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by CPR pursuant to its Administered Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “CPR Rules”). References herein to any arbitration rules or procedures mean such rules or procedures as amended from time to time, including any successor rules or procedures, and references herein to the CPR include any successor thereto. The arbitration panel shall consist of a sole arbitrator or three arbitrators in accordance with the CPR Rules. Where the arbitrator panel shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, each Party shall designate one (1) arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in the CPR Rules. The two (2) party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the panel’s chair or president. This arbitration provision, and the arbitration itself, shall be governed by the laws of Delaware and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

(b)    Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. At the request of a Party, the arbitration panel shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitration panel deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) per Party and shall be held within forty-five (45) days of the grant of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitration panel, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of one (1) day’s duration. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The Parties shall not utilize any other discovery mechanisms, including international processes and United States federal statutes, to obtain additional evidence for use in the arbitration. Any Dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitration panel, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within 180 days following the appointment of the arbitration panel. All costs and fees relating to the retrieval, review and production of electronic discovery shall be paid by the Party requesting such discovery.

(c)    The arbitration panel shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort. The arbitration panel shall have no power or authority, under the CPR Rules or otherwise, to relieve the Parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements. The award of the arbitration panel shall be final, binding and the sole and exclusive remedy to the Parties. Either Party may seek to confirm and enforce any final award entered in arbitration, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)    If an arbitral award does not impose an injunction on the losing Party or contain a money damages award in excess of $25,000,000, then the arbitral award shall not be appealable and shall only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise be permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. In the event that the arbitration does result in an arbitral award, which imposes an injunction or a monetary award in excess of $25,000,000, such award may be appealed to a tribunal of appellate arbitrators via the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure.

(e)    Except as may be required by Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

7.4    Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage (including, for clarity, with

56

respect to any Dispute under the Fiber DBM License Agreement or any Dispute relating to Intellectual Property) and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 if such Party has submitted a Dispute Notice and the other Party has failed to comply with Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 with respect to such negotiation and/or the commencement and engagement in arbitration. In such event, the other Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the provisions of the CPR Rules, as applicable.

7.5    Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the respective members of their Groups to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

7.6    Treatment of Arbitration. The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitral tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Article VII, that Party shall (i) take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application and any exhibits to be filed under seal, (ii) shall oppose any challenge by any Third Party to such sealing, and (iii) give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

7.7    Consolidation. The arbitration panel may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between the Parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arises out of or relates essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitration panel appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

ARTICLE VIII

FURTHER ASSURANCES

8.1    Further Assurances.

(a)    In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b)    Without limiting the foregoing and except to the extent otherwise contemplated in connection with a Deferred SpinCo Local Business under Section 2.4, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Approvals or Notifications of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the SpinCo Assets and the Parent Assets and the assignment and assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities and the Parent Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated

57

hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets allocated to such Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

(c)    At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and SpinCo in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of the members of their Groups, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Parent, SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

9.1    Termination. This Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements may be terminated and the Distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the approval or consent of any other Person, including SpinCo. After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated, except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parties.

9.2    Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement shall become null and void and no Party (nor any member of its Group or any of its Representatives or Affiliates) shall have any Liability or further obligation to the other Party or any member of its Group by reason of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1    Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power; Signatures and Delivery.

(a)    This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto or the parties thereto, respectively, and delivered to the other Party hereto or parties thereto, respectively.

(b)    This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits, Schedules and appendices hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements together govern the arrangements in connection with the Separation and the Distribution and would not have been entered into independently. It is the intention of the Parties that the Transfer Documents shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the Transfer Documents and this Agreement, (1) the Assets and Liabilities expressly and specifically listed in such Transfer Documents as being for the account of either Parent or its Subsidiaries on the one hand, or SpinCo or its Subsidiaries on the other hand, shall control and (2) in the case of any other inconsistent terms, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Except with respect to the express and specific allocation of Assets and Liabilities as described therein, the Parties agree (including on behalf of their Subsidiaries) that the Transfer Documents are not intended and shall not be construed in any way to enhance, modify or decrease any of the rights or obligations of Parent, any member of the Parent Group, SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group from those contained in this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. This Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the

58

Ancillary Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of an Ancillary Agreement (other than any Transfer Documents), the provisions of such Ancillary Agreement shall control over the inconsistent provisions of this Agreement as to matters specifically addressed in such Ancillary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern all matters (including any indemnities and payments among the Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and the allocation of any rights and obligations pursuant to agreements entered into with Third Parties) relating to Taxes to the extent specifically addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, subject to the terms thereof, and the Employee Matters Agreement shall govern all matters (including the allocation of any rights and obligations) relating to employees to the extent specifically addressed in the Employee Matters Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that SpinCo will not be charged more than once for the same service, activity, function or expense that is performed or incurred by Parent or its Affiliates or Third Parties pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that SpinCo or its Affiliates are bearing the charges for such service, activity, function or expense pursuant to another Ancillary Agreement.

(c)    Parent represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Parent Group, and SpinCo represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, as follows:

(i)    each such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ii)    this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d)    Each Party acknowledges that it and each other Party is executing certain of the Ancillary Agreements by facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it shall not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it shall as promptly as reasonably practicable cause each such Ancillary Agreement to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.

10.2    Governing Law.

(a)    This Agreement and, unless expressly provided therein, each Ancillary Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related hereto or thereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of Delaware, including all matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies.

59

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Article VII, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, another state court in the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement for recognition or enforcement of any judgment or award relating hereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, another state court in the State of Delaware, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, another state court in the State of Delaware, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts.

10.3    Assignability. Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and the parties thereto, respectively, and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither Party nor any such party thereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party hereto or other parties thereto, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (except as may be otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements at the same time) in connection with a Change of Control of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.

10.4    Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for any Parent Indemnitee or SpinCo Indemnitee (in their respective capacities as such) expressly entitled to indemnification rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (a) the provisions of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and parties thereto, respectively, and are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall provide any Third Party with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.5    Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable and unless otherwise provided therein, under each of the Ancillary Agreements, shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and except as provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail (“e-mail”), so long as confirmation of receipt of such e-mail is requested and received, to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.5):

A Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are to be given or made.

10.6    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

10.7    Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article IX. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

10.8    No Set-Off. Except as expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Party nor any member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.9    Publicity. Prior to the Effective Time, each of SpinCo and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the Separation, the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or under any Ancillary Agreement and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and SpinCo shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, that portion of any press release or other public statements that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (i) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (in which case such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and allow the other Party a reasonable time and opportunity to oppose such process before making such disclosure), (ii) ordinary course communications with investors and analysts, and (iii) press releases or other public statements that are substantially consistent with prior disclosures made in accordance with this Agreement.

10.10    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, all fees, costs and expenses incurred at or prior to the Effective Time in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement, including the Separation and the Distribution, and any Ancillary Agreement, the registration statement, the Plan of Reorganization and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be borne by the Party or its applicable Subsidiary incurring such fees, costs or expenses. The Parties agree that certain specified costs and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties as set forth on Schedule 10.10.

62

10.11    Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.12    Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive the Separation and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect.

10.13    Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement must be in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

10.14    Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party hereto or parties thereto, respectively, who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of their respective rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, as applicable, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

10.15    Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

10.16    Interpretation. In this Agreement and in any Ancillary Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement (or such Ancillary Agreement); (c) Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement), unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement (including this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement) shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes (including all Schedules and Exhibits) to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days; (h) references to “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York; (i) references herein to this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein shall be deemed

63

to refer to this Agreement or such other agreement as of the date on which it is executed and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented thereafter, unless otherwise specified; (j) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; and (k) unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to [●].

10.17    Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, nor Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim), except as may be otherwise provided in an Ancillary Agreement.

10.18    Performance.

ARTICLE VII

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 7.01.    Number. Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, the Board of Directors shall consist of such number of Directors, not fewer than three, as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Bylaws.

SECTION 7.02.    Terms. Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I Directors shall initially serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, expected to be held in 2023, and director nominees elected to succeed such Class I Directors as Class I Directors shall hold office for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. Directors designated as Class II Directors shall initially serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, expected to be held in 2024, and director nominees elected to succeed such Class II Directors as Class II Directors shall hold office for a two-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. Directors designated as Class III Directors shall initially serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, expected to be held in 2025, and director nominees elected to succeed such Class III Directors as Class III Directors shall hold office for a one-year term and until the election and

4

qualification of their respective successors in office or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. Commencing with the fourth annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, expected to be held in 2026, Directors of each class the term of which shall then or thereafter expire shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. Prior to the fourth annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, in case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of Directors (other than any increase or decrease in respect of the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances), the number of Directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III, with such assignment becoming effective as of the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective.

SECTION 7.03.    Stockholder Nomination of Director Candidates; Stockholder Proposal of Business. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of Directors and of the proposal of business by stockholders shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws, as amended and in effect from time to time.

Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to elect Directors under specified circumstances, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, in their sole discretion, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining Director, in his or her sole discretion, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next election of the class, if any, for which such Director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the fourth annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, any Director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of Directors and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. No decrease in the authorized number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

SECTION 7.05.    Removal. Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to elect Directors under specified circumstances, any Director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all Voting Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that from and after the fourth annual meeting of stockholders following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, any Director may be removed with or without cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all Voting Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up are entitled to elect Directors under specified circumstances, with respect to the removal without cause of a Director or Directors so elected, the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock, and not the vote of the outstanding Voting Stock, shall apply.

5

SECTION 7.06.    Other Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more Directors of the Corporation, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation). During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional Directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of Directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional Directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional Director shall serve until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such Director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Whole Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional Directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional Directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional Directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

ARTICLE VIII

BYLAWS

SECTION 8.01.    The Bylaws may be altered or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted (a) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that in the case of any such stockholder action at a special meeting of stockholders, notice of the proposed alteration, repeal or adoption of the new Bylaw or Bylaws must be contained in the notice of such special meeting, or (b) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

SECTION 9.01.    The Corporation reserves the right at any time from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and, except as set forth in Article X, all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, Directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article.

ARTICLE X

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.01.    Limited Liability of Directors. A Director shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except, if

6

required by the DGCL, as amended from time to time, for liability (a) for any breach of the Director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Section 10.01 shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 10.01 in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Section 10.01 would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 10.02.    Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made 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 (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or, while a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in compliance with the standard of conduct set forth in Section 145 (or any successor provision) of the DGCL and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The Corporation shall pay the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition with any advance payments to be paid by the Corporation within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in such person’s capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a Director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 10.02 or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and officers of the Corporation.

(b)    Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 10.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to

7

enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c)    Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 10.02 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

No repeal or modification of this Article shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

(d)    Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(e)    Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

ARTICLE XI

FORUM SELECTION

SECTION 11.01.    Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), a state court located within the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former Director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any Director, officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any Director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that, in the event that no state court located in the State of

8

Delaware has jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be the federal district court for the District of Delaware. Unless the Corporation gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This exclusive forum provision does not apply to claims arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 11.01. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the forgoing provisions. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Section 11.01 with respect to any current or future actions or claims.

(ii)    For any nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and any such proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) calendar day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) calendar days before or more than sixty (60) calendar days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) calendar day following the calendar day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. For purposes of this Section 2.06, the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to have been held on [●], 2022. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director (1) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (2) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and/or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and/or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (2) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and/or such beneficial owner, (3) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or proposal between or among such stockholder and/or such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing, including in the case of a nomination, the nominee, (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, such stockholder and/or such beneficial owners, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in an underlying class or series of stock of the Corporation, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or such beneficial owner, with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, or relates to the acquisition or disposition of any shares of stock of the Corporation, (5) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination and agrees to continue to own such shares of stock of the Corporation through the date of the meeting, (6) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding

3

capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination and (7) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of Directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.06 shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business other than a nomination if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director.

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is to be increased effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.06 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) calendar day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b)    Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting under Section 2.04. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or (B) if the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.06 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.06. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the purpose of electing one or more Directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may, pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence, nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by clauses (A) and (C) of Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) calendar day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c)    General.

(i)    Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the relevant procedures set forth in Section 2.06 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of

4

the Corporation to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the relevant procedures set forth in Section 2.06. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty (A) to determine whether the relevant procedures set forth in Section 2.06 have been complied with and (B) if the relevant procedures set forth in Section 2.06 have not been complied with, to declare that the applicable nomination shall be disregarded or that the applicable proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business or the stockholder otherwise has not complied with the relevant provisions set forth in Section 2.06, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of Section 2.06, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at such meeting of stockholders.

(ii)    For purposes of Section 2.06, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in such Sections; provided however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.06 (including paragraphs (a)(i)(C) and (b) of Section 2.06), and compliance with paragraphs (a)(i)(C) and (b) of Section 2.06 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than, as provided in the penultimate sentence of clause (a)(ii) of Section 2.06, matters brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as it may be amended from time to time). Nothing in Section 2.06 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”) to elect Directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, including any Preferred Stock Designation (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation).

Section 2.07.    Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy in accordance with the DGCL or by such person’s duly authorized attorney in fact.

Section 2.08.    Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote.

(a)    Election of Directors. Election of Directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which Directors are to be elected shall be by ballot. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors under an applicable Preferred Stock Designation, and except as provided in this Section 2.08(a), each Director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that Director’s election at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. For purposes of this Section 2.08(a), a majority of votes cast

5

shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a Director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that Director’s election. If a nominee for Director is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent Director, the Director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors, subject to acceptance by the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the SEC or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Corporate Governance Committee in making its recommendation and the Board of Directors in making its decision may each consider any factors or other information that they consider appropriate and relevant. The Director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation. If such incumbent Director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such Director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a Director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 2.08(a), or if a nominee for Director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent Director, then the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.04 of the Certificate of Incorporation or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01 of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(b)    Other Matters. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, a Preferred Stock Designation, applicable stock exchange rules or other rules and regulations applicable to the Corporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

Section 2.09.    Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.

(a)    The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint, or shall authorize an officer of the Corporation to appoint, one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspector(s) to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging such person’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such person’s ability. The inspector(s) shall have the duties prescribed by law.

(b)    The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding officer, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding officer of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such

6

other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding officer at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding officer should so determine, such person shall so declare to the meeting that any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

(c)    Parent State Combined Income Tax Returns and Parent Foreign Combined Income Tax Returns. Principles similar to those described in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) shall be applied to Taxes reportable on any Parent State Combined Income Tax Returns or Parent Foreign Combined Income Tax Returns so that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, such Tax Returns do not include Tax Items of any member of the SpinCo Group for any Post-Deconsolidation Period (or portion thereof) other than Tax Items that would be so included under the principles of Sections 3(a) and 3(b).

Section 4.    Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

Section 4.01    General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed on or before their Due Date by the Person obligated to file such Tax Returns under the Code or applicable Tax Law.

Section 4.04    Tax Accounting Practices.

(a)    General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04(b), with respect to any Tax Return that SpinCo has the obligation and right to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, under Section 4.03, (i) for any Pre-Deconsolidation Period or any Straddle Period (or any taxable period beginning after the Deconsolidation Date to the extent items reported on such Tax Return could reasonably be expected to affect items reported on any Tax Return that Parent has the obligation or right to prepare and file for any Pre-Deconsolidation Period or any Straddle Period) or (ii) that is Section 2.03(c) Return, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used with respect to the Tax Returns in question (unless there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices or unless there is no adverse effect to Parent), and to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event that there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices or there is no adverse effect to Parent), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by SpinCo and reasonably acceptable to Parent.

The Tax treatment of the Transactions reported on any Tax Return shall be consistent with the treatment thereof in the Ruling Requests, the Tax Opinions/Rulings, and the Step-Plan (such treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”), unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. The Tax treatment of the Transactions reported on any Tax Return for which SpinCo is the Responsible Company shall be consistent with that on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by Parent or any member of the Parent Group or caused or to be caused to be filed by Parent, in each case with respect to periods prior to the Distribution Date or with respect to Straddle Periods (“Parent Group Transaction Returns”), unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. To the extent the Tax treatment relating to any aspect of the Transactions is not covered by the Intended Tax Treatment or the Parent Group Transaction Returns, the Companies shall report such Tax treatment on any and all Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with Parent’s intention or determination with respect thereto.

Section 4.05    Consolidated or Combined Tax Returns. SpinCo will elect and join, and will cause its respective Affiliates to elect and join, in filing any Parent Federal Consolidated Income Tax Returns, Parent State Combined Income Tax Returns, Parent Foreign Combined Income Tax Returns and any other Joint Returns that Parent determines are required to be filed or that Parent chooses to file pursuant to Section 4.02 for any Pre-Deconsolidated Period or Straddle Period. With respect to any SpinCo Separate Returns relating to any Tax Period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Distribution Date, SpinCo will elect and join, and will cause its respective Affiliates to elect and join, in filing consolidated, unitary, combined, or other similar joint Tax Returns, to the extent each entity is eligible to join in such Tax Returns, if Parent reasonably determines that the filing of such Tax Returns is consistent with past reporting practices, or, in the absence of applicable past practices, will result in the minimization of the net present value of the aggregate Tax to the entities eligible to join in such Tax Returns.

14

The Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement arising out of the review of such Tax Return and, failing that, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the disagreement resolution provisions of Section 13 as promptly as practicable.

(b)    Execution of Tax Returns Prepared by Other Company.

No Company shall amend, or cause to be amended, any Section 2.03(c) Return or Other Tax Joint Return or file, or cause to be filed, any Adjustment Request with respect to any such Tax Return, in each case, unless the other Company shall have first consented in writing to such amendment or Adjustment Request, such content not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Parent shall be entitled in good faith to instruct SpinCo in writing of the portion, if any, of any earnings and profits, previously taxed earnings and profits, Tax Attribute, basis, overall foreign loss or any consolidated, combined, unitary or comingled attribute which Parent determines shall be allocated to, apportioned to or adjusted by the SpinCo Group under applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. SpinCo and all other members of the SpinCo Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with (and shall not take any Tax position that is inconsistent with) such written instructions. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written request from SpinCo, Parent shall provide copies of any studies, reports, and workpapers supporting the earnings and profits, previously taxed earnings and profits, Tax Attribute, basis, overall foreign loss and any consolidated, combined, unitary or comingled attribute allocable to SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group.

(b)    If a member of the SpinCo Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the Parent Group is liable hereunder (or to the tax basis or any Tax Attribute of a member of the Parent Group) (a “Parent Final Determination Adjustment”) and such Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for such adjustment (determined on a “with and without” basis), or if a member of the Parent Group actually realizes in cash

17

any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the SpinCo Group is liable hereunder (or to the tax basis or any Tax Attribute of a member of the SpinCo Group) and such Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for such adjustment (determined on a “with and without” basis), SpinCo or Parent, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Parent or SpinCo, as appropriate, within 30 days following such actual realization of the Tax Benefit, in an amount equal to such Tax Benefit actually realized in cash (including any Tax Benefit actually realized in cash as a result of the payment), plus interest on such amount computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date of such actual realization of the Tax Benefit to the date of payment of such amount under this Section 6.01(b). In the case of a Parent Final Determination Adjustment, then, upon the written request of and at the expense of Parent, SpinCo shall (and, if applicable, shall cause the relevant member of the SpinCo Group to) amend any Tax Return thereof to the extent such amendment would result in a corresponding or correlative Tax Benefit (which shall include, without limitation, any step-up in tax basis).

(c)    No later than 30 days after a Tax Benefit described in Section 6.01(b) is actually realized in cash by a member of the Parent Group or a member of the SpinCo Group, Parent (if a member of the Parent Group actually realizes such Tax Benefit) or SpinCo (if a member of the SpinCo Group actually realizes such Tax Benefit) shall provide the other Company with a written calculation of the amount payable to such other Company by Parent or SpinCo, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 6. In the event that Parent or SpinCo, as the case may be, disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 6.01(c), Parent or SpinCo, as the case may be, shall so notify the other Company in writing within 30 days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 6.01(c). Parent and SpinCo shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement, and, failing that, the amount payable under this Section 6 shall be determined in accordance with the disagreement resolution provisions of Section 13 as promptly as practicable.

Section 6.02    Parent and SpinCo Income Tax Deductions in Respect of Certain Equity Awards and Incentive Compensation. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, solely the member of the Group for which the relevant individual is employed at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of the equity awards and other incentive compensation described in the Employee Matters Agreement (or, if such individual is not then employed by a member of any Group, the Group member at which such individual was most recently employed) shall be entitled to claim any Income Tax deduction in respect of such equity awards and other incentive compensation on its respective Tax Return associated with such event.

Section 7.    Tax-Free Status.

(a)    Each of SpinCo and Parent hereby represents and agrees that (A) it has carefully reviewed or will carefully review the Representation Letters prior to the date submitted and (B) subject to any qualifications therein, all information, representations and covenants contained in such Representation Letters that concern or relate to such Company or any member of its Group are and will be true, correct and complete.

(b)    If any Representation Letters have not yet been submitted, SpinCo and Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts and shall cooperate in good faith to finalize (or cause to be finalized) the same as soon as possible and to cause the same to be submitted to the Tax Advisors, the IRS or such other governmental authorities as Parent shall deem necessary or desirable. SpinCo and Parent shall take such other commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or desirable to obtain any Tax Opinions/Rulings that have not yet been obtained.

(c)    SpinCo hereby represents and warrants that it has no plan or intention to take any action or to fail to take any action (or to cause or permit any member of its Group to take or fail to take any action),

18

in each case, from and after the date hereof, that could reasonably be expected to cause any representation or statement made in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Representation Letters, or any of the Ancillary Agreements to be untrue.

(d)    SpinCo hereby represents and warrants that, during each two-year period ending on the date of any Internal Distribution or the Distribution Date, there was no “agreement,” “understanding,” “arrangement,” “substantial negotiations” or “discussions” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)) by any one or more officers or directors of any member of the SpinCo Group or by any other person or persons with the implicit or explicit permission of one or more of such officers or directors regarding an acquisition, directly or indirectly, of all or a significant portion of the SpinCo Capital Stock (or any predecessor) or any Section 355 Affiliate Capital Stock; provided, however, that no representation is made regarding any “agreement,” “understanding,” “arrangement,” “substantial negotiations” or “discussions” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)) by any one or more officers or directors of Parent.

Section 7.02    Restrictions on SpinCo.

(a)    SpinCo agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or cause or permit any Affiliate of SpinCo to take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material, information, statement, covenant or representation in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements, any Representation Letters or any Tax Opinions/Rulings. SpinCo agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any Affiliate of SpinCo to take or fail to take, any action which prevents or could reasonably be expected to prevent the Tax-Free Status (including the issuance of any SpinCo Capital Stock or Section 355 Affiliate Capital Stock that would prevent the Distribution or any Internal Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code), it being agreed and understood that SpinCo shall not agree, and shall prevent any Affiliate of SpinCo from agreeing, in any Tax Contest to any position that is inconsistent with the Tax treatment of the Transactions as provided in the Intended Tax Treatment or the Parent Group Transaction Returns, unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment.

(b)    SpinCo agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, it will (i) maintain its status as a company engaged in the active conduct of the SpinCo Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, (ii) cause each Section 355 Affiliate to maintain such Section 355 Affiliate’s status as a company engaged in the active conduct of the trade or businesses designated as the trade or business for such Section 355 Affiliate in the relevant Tax Opinion for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, (iii) not engage in any transaction that would result in SpinCo or any Section 355 Affiliate ceasing to be a company so engaged for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and (iv) cause each Section 355 Affiliate not to engage in any transaction that would result in such Section 355 Affiliate ceasing to be a company so engaged for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iv), taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code.

(c)    SpinCo agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, it will not (and it will cause each Section 355 Affiliate not to, where applicable) (i) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit (or cause to be prohibited) any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit (or cause to be permitted) any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur (whether by (I) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (II) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, or (III) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of SpinCo or any Section 355 Affiliate’s charter or bylaws or otherwise), (ii) merge or consolidate with any other Person or liquidate or partially liquidate, (iii) in a single transaction or series of transactions, sell or transfer (other than sales or transfers of inventory in

(d)    Certain Issuances of SpinCo Capital Stock or Section 355 Affiliate Capital Stock. If SpinCo or any Section 355 Affiliate proposes to enter into any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction or if SpinCo, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit (or cause to be prohibited) any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit (or to cause to be permitted) any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the period from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall provide Parent, no later than ten days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of any SpinCo Capital Stock or Section 355 Affiliate Capital Stock, as the case may be, to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the board of directors of SpinCo to the effect that the Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction or any other transaction to which the requirements of Section 7.02(c) apply (a “Board Certificate”).

(e)    SpinCo Group Internal Restructuring. SpinCo shall provide written notice to Parent describing any SpinCo Group Internal Restructuring proposed to be undertaken during any Tax Period ending on or prior to the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date and shall consult with Parent regarding any such proposed actions reasonably in advance of taking any such proposed actions and shall consider in good faith any comments from Parent relating thereto.

20

Section 7.03    Restrictions on Parent. Parent agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or cause or permit any member of the Parent Group to take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material, information, statement, covenant or representation in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements, any Representation Letters or any Tax Opinions/Rulings. Parent agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or cause or permit any member of the Parent Group to take or fail to take, any action which prevents or could reasonably be expected to prevent the Tax-Free Status; provided, however, that this Section 7.03 shall not be construed as obligating Parent to consummate the Distribution without the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement nor shall it be construed as preventing Parent from terminating the Separation and Distribution Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 thereof.

Section 7.04    Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings.

(a)    If SpinCo notifies Parent that it desires to take one of the actions described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 7.02(c) (a “Notified Action”), Parent and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion referred to in Section 7.02(c), unless Parent shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

(b)    Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at SpinCo’s Request. Parent agrees that at the reasonable request of SpinCo pursuant to Section 7.02(c), Parent shall cooperate with SpinCo and use its reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting SpinCo to take the Notified Action. Further, in no event shall Parent be required to file a request for any such Ruling under this Section 7.04(b) unless SpinCo represents that (A) it has read such request, and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the SpinCo Group, contained in such request (or in any documents relating thereto) are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Parent Group in preparing and filing any such request and in obtaining a Ruling or in obtaining or in assisting in obtaining an Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by SpinCo within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from Parent therefor.

(c)    Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at Parent’s Request. Parent shall have the right to obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Parent determines to obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, SpinCo shall (and shall cause each Affiliate of SpinCo to) cooperate with Parent and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by the IRS or Tax Advisor; provided that SpinCo shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of SpinCo to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control). Parent and SpinCo shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Parent.

(d)    SpinCo hereby agrees that Parent shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Ruling, and that only Parent shall apply for a Ruling. In connection with obtaining a Ruling pursuant to Section 7.04(b), (A) Parent shall keep SpinCo informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Parent in connection therewith; (B) Parent shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any documents relating to the request for such Ruling, provide SpinCo with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider SpinCo’s comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide SpinCo with a final copy; and (C) Parent shall provide SpinCo with notice reasonably in advance of, and SpinCo shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS or other applicable Tax Authority (subject to the approval of the IRS or other applicable Tax Authority) that relate to such Ruling. Neither SpinCo nor any Affiliate of SpinCo shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Transactions (or the effect of any other transaction thereon).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, subject to Section 7.05(c), Parent shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to, or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Transactions) of all or a portion of Parent’s stock and/or its or its Subsidiaries’ assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any “agreement,” “understanding,” “arrangement,” “substantial negotiations” or “discussions” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)) by any one or more officers or directors of any member of the Parent Group or by any other person or persons with the implicit or explicit permission of one or more of such officers or directors regarding transactions or events that cause the Distribution, any Internal Distribution, or any Monetization Transaction to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire, directly or indirectly, stock of

22

Parent or the stock of any Affiliate of Parent (including any such Affiliate that is a “distributing corporation” (as defined in Section 355(a) of the Code) in any Internal Distribution) representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, (C) any act or failure to act by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group described in Section 7.03 or (D) any breach by Parent of its agreement and representations set forth in Section 7.01.

(ii)    For purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Losses for which SpinCo is responsible under this Section 7.05, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that Parent, the Parent Affiliated Group and each other member of the Parent Group (I) pay Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable year and (II) have no Tax Attributes in any relevant taxable year. For purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Losses for which Parent is responsible under this Section 7.05, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that SpinCo, the SpinCo Affiliated Group and each other member of the Spinco Group (I) pay Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable year and (II) have no Tax Attributes in any relevant taxable year.

(d)    The indemnifying Company shall pay the other Company the amount of any Tax-Related Losses for which the indemnifying Company is responsible under this Section 7.05: (A) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (i) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than ten Business Days prior to the Due Date of the Tax Return that other Company files, or causes to be filed, for the year of any relevant Internal Distribution, relevant Monetization Transaction, or the Contribution or the Distribution, as applicable (the “Filing Date”) (provided that, if such Tax-Related Losses arise pursuant to a Final Determination described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of “Final Determination,” then the indemnifying Company shall pay the other Company no later than two Business Days after the date of such Final Determination, with interest calculated at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the date that is ten Business Days prior to the Filing Date through the date of such Final Determination (but not in duplication of interest charged by the applicable Tax Authority)) and (B) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than the later of (x) the date that is two Business Days after the date the other Company pays such Tax-Related Losses and (y) the date that is five Business Days after the indemnifying Company receives notification from the other Company of the amount of such Tax-Related Losses due.

(e)    Parent shall calculate in good faith and notify SpinCo of the amount of any Tax-Related Losses for which SpinCo is responsible under this Section 7.05. Such calculation shall be binding on SpinCo absent manifest error. At SpinCo’s reasonable request, Parent shall make available to SpinCo the portion of any Tax Return or other documentation and related workpapers that are relevant to the determination of the Tax-Related Losses attributable to SpinCo pursuant to this Section 7.05. Parent and

23

SpinCo shall cooperate in good faith to determine the Tax-Related Losses for which Parent is responsible under this Section 7.05; provided that, at the request of either Company, such determination shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.

Section 7.06    Section 336(e) Election. If Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code (a “Section 336(e) Election”) shall be made with respect to the Distribution (or any Internal Distribution), SpinCo shall (and shall cause any Section 355 Affiliate or any other relevant member of the SpinCo Group to) join with Parent (or any other relevant member of the Parent Group) in the making of such election and shall take any action reasonably requested by Parent or that is otherwise necessary to give effect to such election (including making any other related election). If a Section 336(e) Election is made with respect to the Distribution (or any Internal Distribution or any Other Restructuring Transaction), then (a) in the event the Contribution or the Distribution (or any such Internal Distribution or any such Other Restructuring Transaction) fails to have Tax-Free Status and Parent is not entitled to indemnification for the Tax-Related Losses arising from such failure, SpinCo shall pay over to Parent any Tax Benefit arising from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election within 30 days of SpinCo (or any such Section 355 Affiliate or any other member of the SpinCo Group) actually realizing such Tax Benefit in cash and (b) this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by Parent in good faith to take into account such Section 336(e) Election.

Section 8.    Assistance and Cooperation.

(b)    Any information or documents provided under this Section 8 shall be kept confidential by the Company receiving such information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any Tax Contest. Notwithstanding Section 8.01(c) or any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither Parent nor any Affiliate of Parent shall be required to provide SpinCo or any Affiliate of SpinCo or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than, subject to clause (ii), information or procedures that relate solely to the Transactions, SpinCo, the business or assets of SpinCo or any Affiliate of SpinCo and (ii) in no event shall Parent or any Affiliate of Parent be required to provide SpinCo, any Affiliate of SpinCo or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that Parent determines that the provision of any information to SpinCo or any Affiliate of SpinCo could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 8 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

(c)    Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax records (including e-mails and other digitally stored materials and related workpapers and other documentation) in its possession as of the date

hereof or relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Consolidation Periods or Taxes or Tax matters that are the subject of this Agreement, in each case, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) ninety days after the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations (taking into account any extensions), or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax records upon ninety days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, a Company reasonably determines that any Tax records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8.01(c) are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Company agrees in writing, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax records upon ninety days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) shall include a list of the Tax records to be disposed of, describing in reasonable detail each file, book or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost, to copy or remove, within such ninety day period, all or any part of such Tax records, and the other Company shall then dispose of such remaining Tax records.

Section 8.02    Income Tax Return Information. SpinCo and Parent acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by Parent or SpinCo pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02. SpinCo and Parent acknowledge that failure to conform to the deadlines set forth herein or reasonable deadlines otherwise set by Parent or SpinCo could cause irreparable harm.

(a)    At SpinCo’s sole expense, SpinCo shall provide such information as is reasonably requested in writing by Parent in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns in accordance with the reasonable deadlines, and in such reasonable form, set forth in such written request.

(b)    At Parent’s sole expense, Parent shall provide such information as is reasonably requested in writing by SpinCo in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns in accordance with the reasonable deadlines, and in such reasonable form, set forth in such written request.

Section 8.03    Reliance by Parent. If any member of the SpinCo Group supplies information to a member of the Parent Group in connection with Taxes and an officer of a member of the Parent Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Parent Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of SpinCo (or any officer of SpinCo as designated by the chief financial officer of SpinCo) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

(a)    Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending or threatened Tax Contest or assessment related to Taxes of which it becomes aware that is related to Taxes for which it could reasonably expect to be indemnified by the other Company hereunder. Such notice shall contain attached copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail. If an indemnified Company has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Company fails to give the indemnifying Company prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability, then such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying Company of any obligation which it may have to the indemnified Company under this Agreement except to the extent that the indemnifying Company is actually prejudiced by such failure.

The Company having authority for responding to any written communication under this Section 9.01(c) shall timely provide the other Company with copies of any written correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority if such correspondence or filings are relevant to any Tax Return required to be filed by such other Company or any Tax liability that such other Company could be required to bear under this Agreement; provided that, any failure to comply with this sentence, shall not relieve such other Company of any liability or obligation which it may have to the responding Company under this Agreement, except to the extent that such other Company was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve such other Company from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the responding Company under this Agreement.

In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and except as otherwise agreed between the Companies or as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law, for all Income Tax purposes, the Companies agree to treat, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat:

(a)    any indemnity payments made by a Company under this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability,

(b)    any payment of interest or State Income Taxes by or to a Tax Authority, as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Company entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment; and

(c)    any Tax Benefit payments made by a Company under Section 6 or 7.06, as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability.

Section 12.02    Tax Gross Up. If there is an adjustment to the Tax liability of a Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under Section 361(b) of the Code) as a result of its receipt of a

28

payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement, such payment shall be appropriately increased so that the amount of such payment, reduced by the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive. For purposes of this Section 12.02, the amount of any Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement shall be calculated by assuming that the recipient or the Group of which it is a member, as applicable, (I) pays Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable year and (II) has no Tax Attributes in any relevant taxable year.

Section 12.03    Interest Under This Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company (“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Company (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by Law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee.

Section 13.    Disagreements.

Section 13.01    Interaction with Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. In the event of any dispute between any member of the Parent Group and any member of the SpinCo Group as to any matter covered by this Agreement, the Companies shall agree as to whether such dispute shall be governed by the procedures set forth in Section 13.02 of this Agreement or in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. If the Companies cannot agree within thirty (30) days from the time such dispute arises as to which procedure will govern such dispute, such disagreement shall be resolved pursuant to Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 13.02    Dispute Resolution. With respect to any dispute governed by this Section 13.02, the Companies shall appoint a nationally recognized “Big Four” independent public accounting firm (other than the then current auditing firm of Parent or SpinCo) (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. The Companies shall cooperate in good faith in jointly selecting the Accounting Firm. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by Parent and SpinCo and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Company only. The Companies shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than fifteen (15) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm, but in no event later than the relevant Payment Date, and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Companies. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with the Past Practices of Parent and the other members of the Parent Group, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Companies shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the non-prevailing Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, a Company may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to any dispute under this Agreement without first complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 (or Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the analogous provisions of any Ancillary Agreement) if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage.

29

Section 14.    Late Payments. Any amount owed by one Company to another Company under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percentage points, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this Section 14 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Section 14 and the interest rate provided under such other provision.

Section 15.    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Company and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.

The Parties agree to use their respective best efforts and to cooperate with each other in order to carry out their obligations hereunder and to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

To the extent the Parent Group holds any repayment “claw-back” or recoupment rights with respect to remuneration paid or provided to SpinCo Employees (e.g., the right to require repayment of compensation upon a termination of employment) in connection with any loan or advance to a SpinCo Employee, such rights are retained by Parent Group. To the extent allocable by applicable law, SpinCo shall recoup such payments from final pay of a terminating SpinCo Employee, and to the extent not recouped, SpinCo shall notify Parent of any terminations of employment, for SpinCo Employees who are subject to repayment rights, within 30 days of such termination.

Section 8.04 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will not create any third-party beneficiary rights, nor will it be enforceable by any Employee, any person representing the interest of Employees, or any spouse, dependent or beneficiary of any Employee, nor will anything herein be or be deemed an amendment to any Benefit Plan. This Agreement is solely an agreement between and for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and will be enforceable by them. No term of this Agreement will be deemed to create any contract with any Employee or to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employment of the Parent Group or SpinCo, or to interfere with the Parent Group’s or SpinCo’s right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

Section 8.05 Compliance. The agreements and covenants of the Parties hereunder shall at all times be subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable Law (including, for purposes of Article IV, local rules and customs relating to the treatment of pension plans) and collective bargaining, works council, or other similar agreements. Where an agreement or covenant of a Party hereunder cannot be effected in compliance with applicable Law or an applicable collective bargaining, works council, or other similar agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify such agreement or covenant to the least extent possible in keeping with the original agreement or covenant in order to comply with applicable Law or such applicable collective bargaining agreement. Each provision of this Agreement is subject to and qualified by this Section 8.05, whether or not such provision expressly states that it is subject to or limited by applicable Law or by applicable collective bargaining, works council, or other similar agreements. Each reference to the Code, ERISA or the Securities Act or any other Law shall be deemed to include the rules, regulations and guidance issued thereunder.

Section 8.06 Preservation of Rights. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Parent or SpinCo to (a) amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan or (b) terminate the employment of any Employee.

Section 8.07 Reimbursement. The Parties acknowledge that the Parent, on the one hand, and SpinCo, on the other hand, may incur costs and expenses (including, without limitation, contributions to Benefit Plans and the payment of insurance premiums) which are, as set forth in this Agreement, the responsibility of the other Party. Accordingly, the

18

Parties agree to reimburse each other for Liabilities and obligations for which such Party is responsible, and shall provide such reimbursement reasonably promptly and in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Parties or their Affiliates expressly addressing such matters.

Section 8.08 Section 409A. It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement and all arrangements referenced herein either be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and, to the maximum extent possible, each provision of this Agreement that pertains to any amount that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A shall be interpreted and construed in accordance therewith.

Section 8.09 Limitation on Enforcement. This Agreement is an agreement solely between the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to: (a) confer upon any current or former Employee of the Parent or SpinCo, or any other person any rights or remedies, including, but not limited to any right to (i) employment or recall; (ii) continued employment or continued service for any specified period; or (iii) claim any particular compensation, benefit or aggregation of benefits, of any kind or nature; or (b) create, modify, or amend any Benefit Plan.

Section 8.10 Further Assurances and Consents. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and carry out the terms hereof; (b) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and agreements or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents and approvals and to make any filings and applications necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except for filing fees and other similar charges) to any third party from whom those consents, approvals and amendments are required, or to take any action or omit to take any action described in this paragraph if the taking of action or the omission to take action would be unreasonably commercially burdensome to the Party or the business thereof, in which case the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify the provision of this Agreement that requires such action or omission to the least extent possible, in keeping with the Parties’ original intent behind such provision, to remove such unreasonable commercial burden.

Section 8.11 Third Party Consent. If the obligation of any Party under this Agreement depends on the consent of a third party, such as a vendor or insurance company, and that consent is withheld, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of a third party to consent, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner, taking into account the original purposes of the provision in light of the Distribution and communications to affected individuals.

Section 8.12 Effect if Distribution Does Not Occur. If the Distribution does not occur, then all actions and events that are to be taken under this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the Distribution, shall not be taken or occur, except to the extent specifically provided by Parent, and any actions already taken shall be revoked and unwound.

WHEREAS, Parent, directly and indirectly through certain of its Affiliates, currently provides certain support services to the SpinCo Business, and SpinCo and Parent desire that Parent continue to provide, or cause to be provided, certain of such services to SpinCo and its Affiliates for a transitional period, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, SpinCo and certain of its Affiliates currently provide certain support services to Parent and certain of its Affiliates, and Parent wishes SpinCo to continue to provide certain of such services to Parent and its Affiliates, and SpinCo wishes to provide such services or cause such services to be provided, all as more fully set forth herein.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

Section 1.1    Services.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Person designated as a “Provider” (each, a “Provider”) in a Service Schedule attached as Annex A and Annex B to this Agreement (each, a “Service Schedule”) shall perform or cause to be performed the services set forth in such Service Schedule (the “Services”) for each Person designated as a “Recipient” (each, a “Recipient”) in such Service Schedule during the “Service Period” specified in such Service Schedule (each, a “Service Period”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that their respective Affiliates may be Providers and/or Recipients under this Agreement, and the Parties shall cause their respective Affiliates to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement, and each Party shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring such compliance with respect to its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, Services to be performed by Parent or its Affiliates in any Service Schedule (a “Parent-Provider Service Schedule”) shall be referred to as “Parent-Provider Services,” and Services to be performed by SpinCo or its Affiliates in any Service Schedule (a “SpinCo-Provider Service Schedule”) shall be referred to as “SpinCo-Provider Services”. The Parent-Provider Service Schedules are attached as Annex A to this Agreement, and the SpinCo-Provider Service Schedules are attached as Annex B to this Agreement.

(b)    In the event that the Parties mutually agree in writing to (i)(A) the provision by Parent to SpinCo of services that are not then included in the Parent-Provider Services (each, a “New Parent-Provider Service”) or (B) a modification of a Parent-Provider Service Schedule, or (ii)(A) the provision by SpinCo to Parent of services that are not then included in the SpinCo-Provider Services (each, a “New SpinCo-Provider Service” and, together with the New SpinCo-Provider Services, the “New Services”) or (B) a modification of a SpinCo-Provider Service Schedule, then the Parties shall add or amend a Service Schedule to reflect such New Service or modified Service, as applicable, including the Service Fee applicable to any such New Service or modified Service Schedule, if any, agreed upon by the Parties. Each new or amended Service Schedule shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of final agreement between the Parties with respect thereto, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any Service Schedule, no Service Period may extend beyond the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, except that any Service Period may be extended up to the third anniversary of the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms hereof or of any Service Schedule.

(c)    Each Service Schedule is hereby incorporated into and shall form a part of this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms contained in such Service Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services provided under that Service Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Service Schedule and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Service Schedule shall take precedence with respect to the Services under such Service Schedule only. No terms contained in any individual Service Schedule shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.2    Service Periods. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5.3, a Provider’s obligation to perform the Services set forth in any Service Schedule shall terminate on the last day of the “Service Period” specified in such Service Schedule.

Section 1.3    Subcontracting. Each Provider of Services shall have the right to subcontract such Services to one or more third parties; provided, however, that (a) consent of the Recipient shall not be required to the extent the same third parties provided the same Services prior to the Effective Date; (b) to the extent the Services were not provided by such third party prior to the Effective Date, the subcontracting Provider shall provide at least 15 days’ advance written notice to the Recipient prior to engaging such subcontractor for such Services; (c) the subcontracting Provider shall execute the necessary contracts, and the appropriate provisions, required under applicable Laws; (d) the subcontracting Provider shall use reasonable care and prudence in the selection and monitoring of any such subcontractor; (e) the subcontracting Provider shall remain primarily responsible for ensuring that such Services are provided and that any such subcontractor performs its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (f) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article II, if the subcontracting Provider provided a Service directly (and not through a subcontractor) during the Service Baseline Period, then the subcontracting Provider shall bear any incremental cost of providing such Service to the Recipient through such subcontractor above the cost (including applicable Service Fees and Reimbursable Costs) of the subcontracting Provider directly providing such Service.

2

Section 1.4    Cooperation. Each Recipient of Services shall (a) perform any obligations or activities assigned to such Recipient in this Agreement, including in the applicable Service Schedule(s); (b) promptly provide to the applicable Provider (and any applicable subcontractors) the materials, documentation and information reasonably necessary for performance of such Services; (c) comply with the Provider’s reasonable instructions that are necessary for the Provider to perform such Services; (d) promptly report to the Provider any known problem affecting the performance of any such Services; (e) participate in discussions regarding the provision of Services where reasonably required by the Provider in order to facilitate decision making in relation to the Services; and (f) subject to Recipient’s reasonable policies and procedures, grant the Provider (and any subcontractors) access to such Recipient’s premises and systems as reasonably necessary for the Provider to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, that this Section 1.4 shall not require a Party to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses, unless and except as expressly provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. In the event that a Recipient fails to comply with any of the obligations under clauses (a) – (f) above, and such failure adversely affects Provider’s ability to perform the Services, Provider shall have the right, after giving 10 days’ prior written notice to the Recipient, to suspend the applicable Services until such failure is resolved.

Section 1.5    Consents. Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third party. If a Provider becomes aware that any such violation is reasonably likely, such Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise the Recipient of such potential violation, and such Provider and Recipient will mutually seek an alternative that addresses such potential violation. The Parties shall cooperate with one another and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all appropriate consents, waivers, permits, licenses, and/or sublicenses (“Consents”), where reasonably necessary, of any relevant third party required under any existing contract or agreement with a third party to allow Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth herein. Recipient shall reimburse Provider for all reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) incurred by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining such Consent. Neither Provider nor Recipient shall be obligated to contribute any capital, pay any consideration, grant any concession or incur any additional Liability to any third party other than ordinary and customary fees to a Governmental Authority from whom such consents are required, which shall be payable by the Recipient. If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain any such Consent, the Recipient shall be responsible for procuring the Services from alternative sources and the Provider shall have no further responsibility for such Services.

Section 1.6    Transitional Nature of the Services. Each Party acknowledges the transitional nature of the Services and agrees that each Recipient shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transition the Services to its own internal organization or to engage alternative third-party service providers as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date and in no event later than the last day of the Service Period referenced in the applicable Service Schedule.

Section 1.7    Relationship of the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint venture or relationships of trust or agency between the Parties and that all Services are performed by Providers as independent contractors to the Recipients.

Parent shall pay to SpinCo, on a quarterly basis in advance, the aggregate amount due by Parent and its Affiliates in respect of the SpinCo-Provider Services in accordance with the amounts, formulas and procedures set forth in the “Service Fees” section in the SpinCo-Provider Service Schedules (the “SpinCo-Provider Service Fees,” and together with the Parent-Provider Service Fees, the “Services Fees”). During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Fee for any Service may be modified to the extent of (a) any adjustments mutually agreed by the Parties, (b) any adjustments due to a change in Level of Service requested by Recipient and agreed by Provider, and (c) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any third-party provider that is providing Services; provided that Provider will notify Recipient in writing of any such change in rates at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such rate change. Together with any invoice for Service Fees, Provider shall provide Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by Recipient to the extent that such documentation is in Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Service Fees.

Section 2.2    Reimbursement. To the extent not included in the Service Fee for a Service and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable travel-related expenses) actually incurred by Parent and its Affiliates in connection with the performance of the Parent-Provider Services under this Agreement (“Parent Reimbursable Costs”). To the extent not included in the Service Fee for a Service and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall reimburse SpinCo for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable travel-related expenses) actually incurred by SpinCo and its Affiliates in connection with the performance of the SpinCo-Provider Services under this Agreement (“SpinCo Reimbursable Costs,” and together with the Parent Reimbursable Costs, the “Reimbursable Costs”). Each Party shall make available to the other Party, upon reasonable request, receipts and other relevant documentation pertaining to Reimbursable Costs.

Section 2.3    Invoicing; Payment. At least 30 days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (a) Parent shall submit to SpinCo a quarterly invoice or invoices for Service Fees and Reimbursable Costs due and owing by SpinCo, and (b) SpinCo shall submit to Parent a quarterly invoice or invoices for Service Fees due for the then-current calendar quarter and for Reimburseable Costs due and owing by Parent. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the charges and amounts and applicable Taxes for each Service for which such invoice relates. Unless otherwise

specified in the Service Schedules, amounts due under this Agreement shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Party to whom such payments are owed. All payments due under this Agreement (other than any amounts disputed by a Party in good faith) shall be made within 30 days after the date of the applicable invoice (the “Due Date”). Late payments shall bear interest at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed from the Due Date up to and including the actual date of payment, without compounding.

Section 2.4    Right to Suspend Services. If payment in full of any invoice (other than amounts disputed by a Party in good faith) is not received by the Due Date of such invoice, to the extent the aggregate amount of such overdue unpaid invoices exceeds $1,000,000, the Party to whom such payment is owed shall have the right, after giving 15 days’ prior written notice to the other Party, to suspend all or any portion of the Service or other obligations under this Agreement as to which such overdue payment relates until such time as all amounts then due, including any accrued interest, have been paid. After such payment in full is received, performance of the suspended Services and other obligations shall resume.

Section 2.5    Taxes.

(a)    Each Recipient shall be responsible for (i) excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes, (ii) value added, goods and services or similar recoverable indirect Taxes (“VAT”) and (iii) any related interest and penalties (collectively, “Sales Taxes”), in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of such Services, but excluding any gross receipts-based or net-income based Taxes. In particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of amounts in respect of Sales Taxes. Any Sales Taxes shall be separately stated on the relevant invoice to a Recipient and will be payable by such Recipient pursuant to Section 2.3. Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made pursuant to this Agreement by a Provider to a Recipient, the Recipient shall either (x) on receipt of a valid VAT invoice pay to the Provider or its designee such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services; or (y) where required by applicable Law to do so, account directly to the relevant Governmental Authority for any such VAT amounts. Each Provider agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with each Recipient in obtaining any refund, return, rebate, or the like of any Sales Tax, including by filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates, or other similar documents. The Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Provider for any costs incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the Recipient obtaining a refund or overpayment of refund, return, rebate, or the like of any Sales Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable gross receipts-based or net income-based Taxes shall be borne by the Provider unless the Provider is required by Law to obtain, or allowed to separately invoice for and obtain, reimbursement of such Taxes from the applicable Recipient.
