With respect to any Tax Return relating to any Tax Period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Deconsolidation Date, which Tax Return otherwise would be a SpinCo Separate Return, SpinCo will elect and join, and will cause its 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, upon XPO’s request.
