Duty to Mitigate Recognition or Recapture of Income. Prior to any event that may result in recognition or recapture of income (including under any gain recognition agreement or domestic use agreement), Ashland Global and Valvoline shall use (and shall cause the members of the Ashland Global Group and Valvoline Group, respectively, to use) all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such recognition or recapture of income or otherwise avoid or minimize the impact thereof. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) Valvoline shall enter into (or shall cause the appropriate member of the Valvoline Group to enter into) a new gain recognition agreement pursuant to Section 1.367(a)-8 of the Regulations, if entering into that gain recognition agreement would preclude or defer the recognition of gain by any member of the Ashland Global Group. (b) To the extent that any member of the Valvoline Group is a “U.S. transferor” (within the meaning of Section 1.367(a)-8(b)(1)(xvii) of the Regulations) with respect to property for which a gain recognition agreement was entered into, Valvoline shall comply (or shall cause the appropriate member of the Valvoline Group to comply) with the annual certification requirements of Section 1.367(a)-8(g) of the Regulations for the term of such gain recognition agreement and promptly provide copies of those annual certifications to Ashland Global. A list of gain recognition agreements, which includes gain recognition agreements that a member of the Ashland Global Group or Valvoline Group has or expects to enter into, is set out in Schedule H. (c) Valvoline shall enter into any agreements (including new domestic use agreements under Section 1.1503(d)-6(f)(2) of the Regulations), make any elections and take any other actions, in each case as requested by Ashland Global or as otherwise required in order to avoid causing the Distribution or Other Disposition, as the case may be, to be a “triggering event” requiring recapture of any “dual consolidated loss” (in each case, within the meaning of Section 1503(d) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder) for which an Ashland Global Consolidated Group member has made a “domestic use election” under Section 1.1503(d)-6(d) of the Regulations and that was incurred by a member of the Valvoline Group during a Consolidation Year.
