Mirror Voting. The Corporation and the Trust hereby agree that all votes with respect to Common Stock held by the Trust from time to time in excess of 9.9% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of any applicable record date for voting shall, with respect to all matters subject to a vote of the shareholders other than matters directly related to the natural environment or safety, be cast in the same proportion as the votes of all other shareholders of the Corporation (herein referred to as “mirror voting”), unless on or before the Effective Date, the Corporation determines in good faith (taking into account relevant factors including, among other things, the outcome of any offering or issuance of Common Stock or equity-linked securities in furtherance of the Plan of Reorganization, to the extent then known), and after providing all reasonably requested information to, and consultation with, tax counsel to the Trust and to the Tort Claimants Committee, that the absence of mirror voting is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the ability of the Debtors to utilize their net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes without limitation under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable state law. If the Corporation makes such a determination, the Corporation will deliver written notice to such effect to the Trust on or within two Business Days after the Effective Date. If mirror voting is so implemented, and upon the Trust’s request, the Corporation shall provide acknowledgement of and reasonable cooperation with the Trust’s position that it will not be an “affiliate” of the Corporation under Rule 144 as a result of its holding Registrable Securities; provided that the Corporation and its counsel shall not be required to deliver any legal opinion with respect to such matter. In the event mirror voting is implemented and (a) the Trust is determined to be an “affiliate” of the Corporation under Rule 144 or (b) the Corporation fails to comply in any material respect with its obligations under this Section 4.01, mirror voting shall be suspended automatically, effective as of the day on which the Trust delivers notice to the Corporation stating that the events described in clause (a) or (b) have occurred and describing in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise thereto.
