(i) Enterprise Assets. HP shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Enterprise or one (1) or more of Enterprise’s Subsidiaries designated by Enterprise, and Enterprise or such Subsidiaries shall accept from HP and HP’s applicable Subsidiaries, all of HP’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to all Enterprise Assets;

Enterprise and such Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all Enterprise Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Enterprise Liabilities arose or arise, or the legal entity that incurred or holds the Enterprise Liability (provided, however, that in furtherance of and without limiting Section 9.10, nothing contained herein shall preclude or inhibit Enterprise from asserting against third parties any defenses available to the legal entity that incurred or holds such Enterprise Liability),

or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Enterprise Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the date of this Agreement, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the HPI Group or the Enterprise Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates;

All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.1(b) shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Pre-Distribution Transfer Documents.”

(d) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the HPI Group of any Excluded Assets or the assumption by the HPI Group of any Excluded Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been made or obtained at or prior to the Effective Time, then, unless the parties shall mutually otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the HPI Group of such Excluded Assets or the assumption by the HPI Group of such Excluded Liabilities 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 Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities shall continue to constitute Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If any transfer or assignment of any Excluded Asset or any assumption of any Excluded Liability intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed under this Agreement, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(d) or for any other reason, then the parties shall cooperate to effect such transfers as promptly following the Effective Time as practicable and, prior to the effectiveness of such transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities, the member of the Enterprise Group retaining such Excluded Asset or such Excluded Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Excluded Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the member of the

HPI Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the HPI Group entitled thereto) and retain such Excluded Liability for the account of the member of the HPI Group. In addition, the member of the Enterprise Group retaining such Excluded Asset or such Excluded Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the HPI Group to whom such Excluded Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Excluded Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the HPI Group in the same position as if such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain and dominion, control and command over such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the HPI Group. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, each of HP and Enterprise shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (x) for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes, treat any Excluded Asset and any Excluded Liability transferred, assigned or assumed after the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) as having been so transferred, assigned or assumed prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Reorganization and (y) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and not take any Tax position inconsistent therewith.

(f) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Excluded Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Excluded Liability, are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Excluded Assets or the assumption of any Excluded Liabilities have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Excluded Asset or the assumption of the applicable Excluded Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable other Transaction Document.

(g) Any member of the Enterprise Group retaining an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Excluded Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Excluded 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 or agreed in advance to be reimbursed) by HP or the member of the HPI Group entitled to the Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by HP or the member of the HPI Group entitled to such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.

Section 2.5 Transfer of Enterprise Assets and Assumption of Enterprise Liabilities Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time.

(a) To the extent any Enterprise Asset is transferred or assigned to, or any Enterprise Liability is assumed by, a member of the HPI Group at or prior to the Effective Time, or is owned or held by a member of the HPI Group after the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time:

(i) HP shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Enterprise or certain of its Subsidiaries designated by Enterprise, and Enterprise or such Subsidiaries shall accept from HP and its applicable Subsidiaries, all of HP’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective right, title and interest in and to such Enterprise Assets; and

(ii) Enterprise and/or its Subsidiaries designated by Enterprise shall promptly accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all such Enterprise Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) In furtherance of the assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of Enterprise Assets and the assumption of Enterprise Liabilities set forth in Section 2.5(a)(i) and Section 2.5(a)(ii) and without any additional consideration therefor: (i) HP shall execute and deliver, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock powers, certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all of HP’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to the Enterprise Assets to Enterprise and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) Enterprise shall execute and deliver, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such assumptions of contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Enterprise Liabilities by Enterprise or its Subsidiaries. All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.5(b) shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Post-Distribution HPI Transfer Documents.”

(c) To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Enterprise Asset or the assumption of any Enterprise Liability requires any Approvals or Notifications, the parties will 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 any of the other Transaction Documents, neither HP nor Enterprise 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.

(d) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Enterprise Group of any Enterprise Assets or assumption by the Enterprise Group of any Enterprise Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made at or prior to the Effective Time then, unless the parties shall mutually otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the Enterprise Group of such Enterprise Assets or the assumption by the Enterprise Group of such Enterprise 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 Enterprise Assets or Enterprise Liabilities shall continue to constitute Enterprise Assets and Enterprise Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If any transfer or assignment of any Enterprise Asset or any assumption of any Enterprise Liability intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed under this Agreement, as the case may be, is not consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(d) or for any other reason, then the parties shall cooperate to effect such transfers as promptly following the Effective Time as practicable and, prior to the effectiveness of such transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities, the member of the HPI Group retaining such Enterprise Asset or such Enterprise Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Enterprise Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the member of the Enterprise Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Enterprise Group entitled thereto) and retain such Enterprise Liability for the account of the member of the Enterprise Group. In addition, the member of the HPI Group retaining such Enterprise Asset or such Enterprise Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Enterprise Group to whom such Enterprise Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Enterprise Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Enterprise Group in the same position as if such Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain and dominion, control and command over such Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability, as the case may be, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the Enterprise Group. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, each of HP and Enterprise shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (x) for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes, treat any Enterprise Asset and any Enterprise Liability transferred, assigned or assumed after the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) as having been so transferred, assigned or assumed prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Reorganization and (y) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and not take any Tax position inconsistent therewith.

(f) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Enterprise Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Enterprise Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(d), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Enterprise Asset or the assumption of any Enterprise Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Enterprise Asset or the assumption of the applicable Enterprise Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable other Transaction Document.

(g) Any member of the HPI Group retaining an Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Enterprise Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Enterprise 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 or agreed in advance to be reimbursed) by Enterprise or the member of the Enterprise Group entitled to the Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Enterprise or the member of the Enterprise Group entitled to such Enterprise Asset or Enterprise Liability.

Section 2.6 Novation of Enterprise Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a) Each of HP and Enterprise, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements (including any agreement with the U.S. federal government), leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Enterprise Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any member of the Enterprise Group, so that, in any such case, the members of the Enterprise Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, neither HP nor Enterprise shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any third Person from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

Enterprise shall indemnify each HPI Indemnified Party, and hold each of them harmless, against any Liabilities (other than Excluded Liabilities) arising in connection therewith; provided that Enterprise shall have no obligation to indemnify any HPI Indemnified Party that has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith. HP shall cause each member of the HPI Group without further consideration to promptly pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to Enterprise, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of the HPI Group in respect of such performance (unless any such consideration is an Excluded Asset). If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the obligations under such agreement, lease, license or other obligations or Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, HP, without payment of further consideration, shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, all its obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any obligations of any member of the HPI Group thereunder to Enterprise or another member of the Enterprise Group specified by Enterprise, and Enterprise, without the payment of any further consideration, shall, or shall cause such other member of the Enterprise Group to, assume such obligations.

Section 2.7 Novation of Liabilities Other than Enterprise Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a) Each of HP and Enterprise, at the request of the other party, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements (including any agreement with the U.S. federal government),

leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities for which a member of the HPI Group and a member of the Enterprise Group are jointly or severally liable and that do not constitute Enterprise Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any member of the HPI Group, so that, in any such case, the members of the HPI Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, neither HP nor Enterprise shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any third Person from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

(b) If HP or Enterprise is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release, the applicable member of the Enterprise Group shall continue to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability and, unless not permitted by the terms thereof or by Law, HP shall or shall cause a member of the HPI Group to, as agent or subcontractor for such member of the Enterprise Group, as the case may be, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Enterprise Group that do not constitute Enterprise Liabilities, as the case may be, thereunder from and after the Effective Time. HP shall indemnify each Enterprise Indemnified Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Enterprise Liabilities) arising in connection therewith; provided that HP shall have no obligation to indemnify any Enterprise Indemnified Party that has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith. Enterprise shall cause each member of the Enterprise Group without further consideration to promptly pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to HP or to another member of the HPI Group specified by HP, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of the Enterprise Group in respect of such performance (unless any such consideration is an Enterprise Asset).

No such terminated Contract (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) or intercompany Liability shall be of any further force or effect from and after the Effective Time. Each party shall, at the reasonable request of any other party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(i) this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and each other Contract expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to be entered into or continued by the parties or any of the members of their respective Groups after the Effective Time);

(ii) any Contracts to which any Person, other than the parties and their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries, is a party (it being understood that (A) directors’ qualifying shares or similar interests will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned and (B) to the extent that the rights and obligations of the parties and the members of their respective Groups under any such Contracts constitute Enterprise Assets or Enterprise Liabilities, they shall be assigned pursuant to Section 2.1);

(iii) any Shared Contracts; and

(iv) any intercompany payables due or receivables owed solely between Enterprise and/or any member of the Enterprise Group, on the one hand, and HP and/or any member of the HPI Group, on the other hand, that are effective or outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which amounts shall be settled (and net amounts paid) as of the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter (and in any event within 30 days) (except for any such intercompany payables or receivables arising pursuant to a Transaction Document, which shall instead be settled in accordance with the terms of such Transaction Document).

Section 2.9 Treatment of Shared Contracts.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Section 2.1, unless the parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.9 are expressly conveyed to the applicable party pursuant to another Transaction Document, (i) any Contract that is listed on Schedule 2.9(a) (other than any such Contract covering substantially the same services or arrangements that are covered by a Contract entered into by a member of the Group not party to such Contract in connection with the Reorganization) shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Effective Time, so that each party or the members of its respective Group shall, as of the Effective Time, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to the Enterprise Business or the HPI Business, as applicable, and (ii) (A) any other Contract that is an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability but, prior to the Effective Time, inured in part to the benefit or burden of any member of the Enterprise Group (other than any such Contract covering substantially the same services or arrangements that are covered by a Contract entered into by a member of the Enterprise Group in connection with the Reorganization), and (B) any other Contract that is an Enterprise Asset or an Enterprise Liability but, prior to the Effective Time, inured in part to the benefit or burden of any member of the HPI

Group (other than any such Contract covering substantially the same services or arrangements that are covered by a Contract entered into by a member of the HPI Group in connection with the Reorganization), shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Effective Time, so that each party or the members of its respective Group shall, as of the Effective Time, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to the Enterprise Business or the HPI Business, as applicable (any Contract referred to in clause (i) or (ii), a “Shared Contract”); provided, however, that in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), (x) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled) and (y) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, or cannot be amended or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefits the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, then the parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions (including by providing prompt notice to the other party with respect to any relevant claim of Liability or other relevant matters arising in connection with a Shared Contract so as to allow such other party the ability to exercise any applicable rights under such Shared Contract) to cause a member of the Enterprise Group or the HPI Group, as applicable, to receive the rights and benefits of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Enterprise Business or the HPI Business, as applicable (in each case, to the extent so related), as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to a member of the applicable Group (or appropriately amended) pursuant to this Section 2.9, and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement), as if such Liabilities had been assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.9.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, each of HP and Enterprise shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (x) for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes, treat the portion of each Shared Contract the rights and benefits of which inure to it or a member of its Group as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, as applicable, it or the members of its Group, as applicable, as of no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and not take any Tax position inconsistent therewith.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall require any member of any Group to make any material payment (except to the extent advanced, assumed or agreed to in advance to be reimbursed by any member of the other Group), incur any material obligation or grant any material concession for the benefit of any member of the other Group or any other third party in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.9.

(c) With respect to any outstanding checks issued by HP, Enterprise or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, such outstanding checks shall be honored from and after the Effective Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn, without limiting the ultimate allocation of Liability for such amounts under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(d) As between HP and Enterprise (and the members of their respective Groups), except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, all payments and reimbursements received after the Effective Time by either party (or member of its Group) to which the other party (or member of its Group) is entitled under this Agreement, shall be held by such party in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto and, within sixty (60) days of 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 setoff.

Section 2.12 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EACH OF HP (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE HPI GROUP) AND ENTERPRISE (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE ENTERPRISE GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR THERETO IN ANY WAY AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY; AS TO ANY APPROVALS OR NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH; AS TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, ANY ASSETS OF SUCH PARTY; AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR OTHER ASSET, INCLUDING ANY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OF ANY PARTY; OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER

TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY ASSET OR THING OF VALUE UPON THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND FILING HEREOF OR THEREOF.

(h) an independent appraisal firm shall have delivered one (1) or more opinions to the Board of Directors of HP confirming the solvency and financial viability of HP before the consummation of the Distribution and each of HP and Enterprise after the consummation of the Distribution, and such opinions shall be acceptable to HP in form and substance in HP’s sole discretion, and such opinions shall not have been withdrawn, rescinded or modified in any respect; and

(i) no event or development shall have occurred or shall exist that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of HP, in its sole discretion, makes it inadvisable to effect the Reorganization, the Distribution or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of the foregoing conditions is for the sole benefit of HP and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of HP or its Board of Directors to waive or not to waive any such condition or to effect the Reorganization and the Distribution, or in any way limit HP’s rights of termination set forth in this Agreement. Any determination made by HP prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.2 shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.

Section 3.3 The Distribution and the Subsidiary Stock Exchange.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (i) at or prior to the Effective Time, HP shall deliver to the Distribution Agent for the benefit of holders of record of HP Common Shares and Common Equivalent HP Preferred Stock on the Record Date, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the issued and outstanding shares of Enterprise Common Stock necessary to effect the Distribution and the Subsidiary Stock Exchange, respectively, (ii) the Distribution and the Subsidiary Stock Exchange shall be effective at the Effective Time and (iii) HP shall instruct the Distribution Agent to distribute, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, (A) to each holder of record of HP Common Shares as of the Record Date, by means of a pro rata distribution, a number of shares of Enterprise Common Stock to be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of HP, for every one (1) HP Common Share so held, and (B) to each holder of record of Common Equivalent HP Preferred Stock as of the Record Date, in exchange for such holder’s shares of Common Equivalent HP Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Enterprise Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 3.1(i). Following the Effective Time, Enterprise agrees to promptly provide all book-entry transfer authorizations for shares of Enterprise Common Stock that HP or the Distribution Agent shall require in order to effect the Distribution and the Subsidiary Stock Exchange.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, HP shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the Distribution Date and all terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions and/or offerings to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition, HP may at any time and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution.

(c) Shareholders holding a number of HP Common Shares on the Record Date that would entitle such shareholders to receive less than one (1) whole share (in addition to any whole shares) of Enterprise Common Stock in the Distribution will receive cash in lieu of such fractional share. Fractional shares of Enterprise Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, (i) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Enterprise Common Stock allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of HP Common Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, (ii) aggregate all such fractional

shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests and (iii) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the cash proceeds (net of fees, discounts and commissions) of such sale, after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law. Neither HP nor Enterprise or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Enterprise Common Stock. Neither HP nor Enterprise will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares.

(d) From and after the Effective Time and until the shares of Enterprise Common Stock are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.3 and applicable Law, Enterprise will regard the persons entitled to receive such shares of Enterprise Common Stock as record holders of shares of Enterprise Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such persons. Enterprise agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time, (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the shares of Enterprise Common Stock 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 shares of Enterprise Common Stock then held by such holder.

(e) Any shares of Enterprise Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to shares of Enterprise Common Stock that remain unclaimed by any holders of record of HP Common Shares one hundred eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Enterprise, and Enterprise shall hold such shares of Enterprise Common Stock for the account of such holders, and the parties agree that all obligations to provide such shares of Enterprise Common Stock and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Enterprise, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and HP shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

Section 3.4 Subdivision of Enterprise Common Stock to Accomplish the Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, HP and Enterprise shall take all necessary action required to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of Enterprise with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to increase the number of authorized shares of Enterprise Common Stock and to effect the subdivision and conversion of the outstanding Enterprise Common Stock, so that Enterprise Common Stock then issued and outstanding shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be subdivided and converted into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Enterprise Common Stock issued and outstanding equal to the number of shares of Enterprise Common Stock necessary to effect the Distribution.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the access of any member of the Enterprise Group to any such documents or objects or to impose any liability on any member of the Enterprise Group if any such documents or objects are not maintained or preserved by Enterprise.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the second (2nd) Enterprise fiscal year-end occurring after the Distribution Date, each of HP and Enterprise shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party’s Information requests to enable (i) the other party to meet its 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 and (ii) the other party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements of the other party, 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 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder.

The party requesting Information pursuant to Section 4.1 agrees to reimburse the other party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information (including any 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 tapes for purposes of providing the requested Information), to the extent that such costs are incurred in connection with such other party’s provision of Information in response to the requesting party. The party requesting Information pursuant to Section 4.1 agrees to pay the applicable then-prevailing fee for any archive research services performed by the other party.

Section 4.4 Record Retention.

(a) To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article IV and other provisions of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, the parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control in accordance with the document retention policies or ordinary course practices of HP in effect as of the Effective Time (including any Information that is subject to a “Litigation Hold” issued by either party prior to the Effective Time) or such other document retention policies as may be reasonably adopted by the applicable party from and after the Effective Time (provided that such other document retention policies at least provide for the retention of documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and as otherwise required by applicable Law).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information contemplated by Section 4.1(a) without first offering to deliver such Information to the other party, at the other party’s cost and expense; provided that (i) in the case of any Information relating to a pending or threatened Action that is known to a member of the Group in possession of such Information, the parties shall comply with the requirements of the applicable “Litigation Hold” (provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Effective Time, the requirements of this clause (i) shall apply only to the extent that the member of the HPI Group or the Enterprise Group that is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” of such pending or threatened Action); and (ii) in no event shall a party destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information required to be retained by applicable Law.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.1, from and after the Effective Time, except in the case of an adversarial Action by one party against another party, each party shall use its reasonable efforts to make available to each other party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other Representatives of the members of its respective Group as witnesses, and any books, records or other Information within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees and other Representatives) or books, records or other Information may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.12, the requesting party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) The obligation of the parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 4.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict, except in the case of an adversarial Action by one party against another party.

(c) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 4.7, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any member of any Group.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.7 are in furtherance of the provisions of Section 4.1 and shall not be deemed to limit the parties’ rights and obligations under Section 4.1.

Section 4.8 Counsel; Privileges; Legal Materials.

(a) In-house lawyers employed by HP and its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time (“Existing HP Counsel”) have provided legal services to and jointly represented HP and its Affiliates, including members of the HPI Group and the Enterprise Group. From and after the Effective Time, certain Existing HP Counsel will remain employees of one (1) or more members of the HPI Group and provide legal services to and represent only the HPI Group (“HPI

Counsel”), and certain Existing HP Counsel will become employees of one (1) or more members of the Enterprise Group and provide legal services to and represent only the Enterprise Group (“Enterprise Counsel”). From and after the Effective Time, (i) HPI Counsel will represent only the HPI Group; (ii) Enterprise Counsel will represent only the Enterprise Group; and (iii) Enterprise Counsel and HPI Counsel will owe a duty of loyalty and other professional obligations only to their respective clients.

(b) The parties have previously been jointly represented by the Existing HP Counsel in various legal matters of common interest. This joint representation included in its scope all matters prior to the Effective Time in which a party or another member of its Group was represented by any of the Existing HP Counsel. Subject to Section 4.8(c), the parties agree that a joint representation privilege applies to such joint representation. Subject to Section 4.8(c), from and after the Effective Time, the HPI Group and the Enterprise Group will both continue to jointly own and control all privileges relating to all Information created prior to the Effective Time as a result of the representation of any party or any member of its respective Group by Existing HP Counsel, and the parties agree that the Separation shall not waive or affect any applicable privileges, including the attorney-client privilege, the litigation work product doctrine, the common interest privilege and the joint-client/joint representation privilege. No party may waive any privilege that could be asserted under any applicable Law and in which the other party has a shared privilege, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that such prior written consent shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice has been given by the party requesting such prior written consent. If any dispute arises between HP and Enterprise, or any members of their respective Groups, regarding whether a shared privilege should be waived, each party (i) shall negotiate with the other party in good faith and (ii) shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, each party shall be permitted to withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege for the purpose of protecting its own legitimate interests.

(i) HP shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the HPI Business and not to the Enterprise Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the HPI Group or any member of the Enterprise Group. HP shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any Excluded 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 HPI Group or any member of the Enterprise Group; and

(ii) Enterprise shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the Enterprise Business and not to the HPI Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Enterprise Group or any member of the HPI Group. Enterprise shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of

all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any Enterprise 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 Enterprise Group or any member of the HPI Group.

(d) In advance of the Effective Time, the parties agree to cause Existing HP Counsel to separate all legal files, documents and other Information created prior to the Effective Time (the “Legal Materials”) relating primarily to the HPI Business from those relating primarily to the Enterprise Business and deliver them into the possession of the applicable party. All such Legal Materials not separated as of the Effective Time shall be deemed “Joint Legal Materials.” Both HPI Counsel and Enterprise Counsel will have the right, from and after the Effective Time, (i) to access, review and duplicate all Joint Legal Materials in the possession of the other that relate to their respective legal matters and (ii) only with the consent of the other party, to separate and take sole possession of Joint Legal Materials relating solely to either the HPI Business or the Enterprise Business, as applicable. HP and Enterprise shall cause HPI Counsel and Enterprise Counsel, respectively, to maintain and continue their respective Group’s compliance with all “Litigation Holds” applicable to any Legal Materials or Joint Legal Materials they possess or come to possess. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the party designated to direct the defense or prosecution of any Action pursuant to Section 6.11 or Section 6.12 shall be entitled to have and retain possession and own the Legal Materials related to such Action.

(e) The parties acknowledge that the Legal Materials are products of the joint representation by Existing HP Counsel and are privileged from disclosure to others as a result of the attorney-client privilege, the litigation work product doctrine, the common interest/joint defense privilege, the joint-client/joint representation privilege and other applicable privileges and protections. Unless and until the parties agree in writing to waive any and all claims of privilege, as set forth in this Section 4.8, over any portion of the Legal Materials, the parties shall assert all applicable privileges to resist production of any Legal Materials requested by any third party. If any third party requests or demands, by subpoena or otherwise, any Legal Materials, the party (including any member of its Group) that has received the request or demand shall immediately notify the other party in writing. Each party will then take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve all applicable rights and privileges with respect to such Legal Materials and shall cooperate fully with the other party in any proceedings relating to the disclosure of such Legal Materials. Each party has standing to enforce claims of privilege or similar grounds for withholding disclosure in response to any request or demand for the production of Legal Materials. If any party is served with or otherwise subject to legal process (including a subpoena) requiring it to testify about, produce or otherwise divulge Legal Materials, the party subject to such process will (i) promptly supply the other party with a copy of such subpoena or process; (ii) assert all applicable privileges, protections and objections; (iii) not waive any such privilege; and (iv) make every other reasonable effort to prevent or limit disclosure of the Legal Materials.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to use or disclose (i) documents or information generated by any member of its Group after the Effective Time (other than to the extent such documents or information contain information from the Legal Materials or Joint Legal Materials) or (ii) documents or information that are now, or hereafter become, public information without violation of this Agreement.

(g) The parties acknowledge that the HPI Group and the Enterprise Group may have or develop interests adverse to each other following the Effective Time. Each Party hereby waives (i) any and all current and future objections to HPI Counsel, Enterprise Counsel and any outside counsel that represented HP or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time from continuing to represent or in the future representing their respective clients or either party in any matter, including matters in which the HPI Group and the Enterprise Group are adverse and disputes relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (ii) all current and future rights to seek disqualification, whether based on the possession or disclosure of confidential information or otherwise, of any of the HPI Counsel, Enterprise Counsel and such outside counsel from any representation of their respective clients or either party in any matter, including matters in which the HPI Group and the Enterprise Group are adverse and disputes relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. If a dispute arises between the parties (or members of their respective Groups) in the future, no party may assert privilege against the other as to any Legal Materials created prior to the Effective Time, and both parties shall be free to make use of such Legal Materials for the purpose of advancing their interests in such dispute.

(h) In furtherance of the parties’ agreement under this Section 4.8, HP and Enterprise shall, and shall cause applicable members of their respective Group to, maintain their respective separate and joint privileges, including by executing joint defense and common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose. HP and Enterprise shall, and shall cause HPI Counsel and Enterprise Counsel, respectively, and their respective outside counsel to, cooperate with each other and take all necessary or reasonably desirable actions to effect the foregoing provisions.

(i) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of HP and Enterprise set forth in this Section 4.8 and in Section 7.2 to maintain the confidentiality of privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The parties agree that 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 pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Inc BLP C5 (and not HP) for any Enterprise Indemnification Obligations in respect of or relating to the C5 Contribution, the C5 Contribution Agreement, BLP 1 D5 and its Subsidiaries or Inc BLP C5 and its Subsidiaries (the “BLP 1 D5 Indemnification Obligations”); provided that BLP 1 D5 Indemnification Obligations shall not include any HPI Indemnification Obligation to the extent such HPI Indemnification Obligation is addressed by Section 6.3(a) (and BLP 1 D5 shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Person with respect thereto).

(ii) In connection with the C5 Contribution and the C5 Contribution Agreement, Inc BLP C5 (and not HP) shall directly indemnify, defend and hold harmless BLP 1 D5 (and not Enterprise) for any HPI Indemnification Obligations of or relating to the C5 Contribution, the C5 Contribution Agreement, BLP 1 D5 and its Subsidiaries or Inc BLP C5 and its Subsidiaries (the “Inc BLP C5 Indemnification Obligations”); provided that Inc BLP C5 Indemnification Obligations shall not include any HPI Indemnification Obligation to the extent such HPI Indemnification Obligation is addressed by Section 6.3(a) (and Inc BLP C5 shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Person with respect thereto).

(i) In connection with the C6 Contribution and the C6 Contribution Agreement, E Munich C6 (and not Enterprise) shall directly indemnify, defend and hold harmless Munich D2/D6 (and not HP) for any Enterprise Indemnification Obligations in respect of or relating to the C6 Contribution, the C6 Contribution Agreement, E Munich C6 and its Subsidiaries or Munich D2/D6 and its Subsidiaries (the “E Munich C6 Indemnification Obligations”); provided that E Munich C6 Indemnification Obligations shall not include any HPI Indemnification Obligation to the extent such HPI Indemnification Obligation is addressed by Section 6.3(a) or is a BLP 1 D5 Indemnification Obligation (and E Munich C6 shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Person with respect thereto).

Section 6.4 Contribution. If the indemnification otherwise provided for in Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 with respect to Liabilities incurred under any securities Laws, is as a matter of applicable Law unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of such Liabilities for which they would otherwise be indemnified hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute 50% to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in respect of such non-indemnified Liabilities.

Section 6.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability. Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to such Insurance Proceeds but not exceeding the amount of the Indemnity Payment paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Liability.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided that the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 6.7(c), any indemnity payment under this Article VI shall be increased to take into account any actual Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or accrual of such indemnity payment and shall be decreased to take into account any actual reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence of such indemnified Liability.

Section 6.6 Certain Matters Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Third Party Claim. If an Indemnified Party receives written notice that a Person (including any Governmental Authority) that is not a member of the HPI Group or the Enterprise Group has asserted any claim or commenced any Action (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) that may implicate an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as practicable (and no later than twenty (20) days) after becoming aware of the Third Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice in accordance with this Section 6.6(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 Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 6.6(a).

(b) Subrogation. To the extent an indemnification or contribution payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any right, defense or claim which such Indemnified Party may have relating to such Third Party Claim. Subject to Section 6.11 and Section 6.12, such Indemnified Party 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.

Section 6.7 Additional Matters.

(a) Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such payment (including where reasonably practicable an itemization of costs and expenses, attorney invoices and supporting documentation from other vendors in the form reviewed by the Indemnified Party, and any applicable orders, judgments or settlement agreements). The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Agreement.

(b) Any claim for indemnification under this Article VI other than in respect of a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility for such indemnification obligation. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution under this Agreement.

(c) For U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income Tax purposes, each of HP, Enterprise, BLP 1 D5, Inc BLP C5, Munich D2/D6 and E Munich C6 agrees to treat, and to cause its Affiliates to treat, (i) any payment required by Section 6.3(c) or otherwise in respect of an E Munich C6 Indemnification Obligation or a Munich D2/D6 Indemnification Obligation (other than payments of interest) as either a contribution by Munich D2/D6 to E Munich C6 or as a distribution by E Munich C6 to Munich D2/D6, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the C6 Distribution or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; (ii) any payment required by Schedule 2.13(d)(iii) or Schedule 2.13(d)(iv), Section 6.3(b) or otherwise in respect of a BLP 1 D5 Indemnification Obligation or an Inc BLP C5 Indemnification Obligation (other than payments of interest) as either a contribution by BLP 1 D5 to Inc BLP C5 or a distribution by Inc BLP C5 to BLP 1 D5, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the C5 Distribution or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; (iii) any payment required pursuant to Section 6.3(a) as a purchase price adjustment under the applicable Transfer Document or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; (iv) any other

payment required by this Agreement (other than payments of interest) as either a contribution by HP to Enterprise or a distribution by Enterprise to HP, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Distribution or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; and (v) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

Section 6.8 Remedies Cumulative. The rights provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 6.9 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of HP and Enterprise and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 6.10 Guarantees.

(a) Except for those guarantees set forth on Schedule 6.10(a), for which HP or Enterprise or a member of its respective Group, as the case may be, shall remain as guarantor, and the applicable guaranteed party or guaranteed member of the applicable Group shall indemnify and hold harmless such guarantor for any Liabilities arising from or relating thereto (in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI), or as otherwise specified in any other Transaction Document, at or prior to the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter: (i) HP shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the Enterprise Group) use its reasonable efforts to have any member(s) of the Enterprise Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for and released from any Excluded Liability, including in respect of those guarantees set forth on Schedule 6.10(a)(i) to the extent that they relate to Excluded Liabilities, and (ii) Enterprise shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the HPI Group) use its reasonable efforts to have any member(s) of the HPI Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for and released from any Enterprise Liability, including in respect of those guarantees set forth on Schedule 6.10(a)(ii) to the extent that they relate to Enterprise Liabilities.

(b) To the extent required to obtain a removal or release from a guarantee described in Section 6.10(a) (a “Guarantee Release”):

(i) of any member of the HPI Group, Enterprise or an appropriate member of the Enterprise Group shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions (A) with which Enterprise or the appropriate member of the Enterprise Group would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached by Enterprise or the appropriate member of the Enterprise Group; and

(ii) of any member of the Enterprise Group, HP or an appropriate member of the HPI Group shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions (A) with which HP or the appropriate member of the HPI Group would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached by HPI or the appropriate member of the HPI Group.

(c) If HP or Enterprise is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Guarantee Release, (i) the relevant member of the HPI Group or Enterprise Group, as applicable, that has assumed the Liability with respect to such guarantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any Liability arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI and shall, or shall cause one (1) of its Subsidiaries to, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder, and (ii) with respect to such guarantee, each of HP and Enterprise, on behalf of themselves and the members of their respective Groups, agree not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under or transfer to a third Person, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which the other party or any member of the other party’s Group is or may be liable under such guarantee unless all obligations of the other party and the other members of the other party’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the other party.

Section 6.11 Management of Actions (other than Corporate Liabilities and Corporate Assets). This Section 6.11 shall govern the direction of pending and future Actions (other than Actions governed by Section 6.12) in which members of the Enterprise Group or the HPI Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II unless expressly set forth in this Section 6.11.

(a) Management of Enterprise Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the Enterprise Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 6.11(a) and (ii) Actions arising after the Effective Time that constitute only Enterprise Liabilities or Enterprise Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely an Enterprise Liability or an Enterprise Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the HPI Group as a party thereto, then Enterprise shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the HPI Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No party shall add the other party to any Action pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the other party.

(b) Management of HPI Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the HPI Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 6.11(b) and (ii) Actions arising after the Effective Time that constitute only HPI Liabilities or HPI Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely an HPI Liability or an HPI Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the Enterprise Group as a party thereto, then HP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the Enterprise Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No party shall add the other party to any Action pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c) Management of Mixed Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the parties shall jointly manage (whether as co-defendants or co-plaintiffs) any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 6.11(c) and (ii) Actions arising after the Effective Time that constitutes both an Enterprise Liability or an Enterprise Asset, on the one hand, and an HPI Liability or an HPI Asset, on the other hand (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Mixed Actions”). The parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to Mixed Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and except as set forth in Schedule 6.11(c), the parties may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared equally by the parties) or retain separate counsel (in which case each party will bear the cost of its separate counsel) with respect to any Mixed Action; provided that the parties shall share equally discovery and other joint litigation costs. In any Mixed Action, each of HP and Enterprise may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the HPI Business or the Enterprise Business, respectively; provided that each party shall in good faith make all reasonable efforts to avoid adverse effects on the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if a judgment is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Liabilities in respect of such judgment between them based on the HPI Business and the Enterprise Business, and otherwise shall share equally such Liabilities; and (ii) if a recovery is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Assets in respect of such recovery between them based on their respective injuries, and otherwise shall share equally such Assets. A party that is not named as a defendant in a Mixed Action may elect to become a party to such Mixed Action, and the party named in such Mixed Action shall reasonably cooperate to have such first party named in such Mixed Action.

(d) Delegation of Rights of Recovery. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights to recovery of each party’s Subsidiaries in respect of any past, present or future Action are hereby delegated to such party. It is the intent of the parties that the foregoing delegation shall satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. The parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

Section 6.12 Management of Corporate Liabilities and Corporate Assets.

(a) General Rules. Without limiting the indemnification provisions of Article VI, any amounts owed in respect of any Corporate Liabilities shall be remitted within sixty (60) days following submission by the party entitled to such amount of an invoice (including reasonable supporting Information with respect thereto) to the party owing such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to compliance with this Section 6.12, (i) the party incurring any Corporate Liability shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other party (in an amount equal to such other party’s HPI Corporate Liability Percentage or Enterprise Corporate Liability Percentage, as applicable) of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending or managing any such Corporate Liability, from time to time and when invoiced, including in advance of a final determination or resolution of any Corporate Liability; and (ii) it shall not be a defense to any obligation by a party to pay any amounts in respect of any Corporate Liability that (A) such party was not consulted in the defense or

management thereof, (B) such party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, (C) such party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or (D) such Corporate Liability was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of Liability.

(b) Management of Actions in respect of Corporate Liabilities and Corporate Assets.

(i) Enterprise shall direct the defense or prosecution of any Action set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)(i) or Schedule 2.3(c)(iv) (the “Pending Corporate Actions”), except as otherwise provided in Schedule 2.2(c)(i) or Schedule 2.3(c)(iv); provided that any outside counsel employed by the party directing such Pending Corporate Action with respect thereto shall be subject to the approval of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld). HP and Enterprise shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other and, to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to such Pending Corporate Actions, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege.

(ii) If an Action is commenced from and after the Effective Time in respect of a Corporate Liability (that is not related to a Pending Corporate Action (which Action shall instead be directed by the party directing the related Pending Corporate Action) or subject to Section 6.12(c)), then Enterprise shall (and HP shall not) direct the defense of such Action; provided that any outside counsel employed by Enterprise with respect thereto shall be subject to the approval of HP (not to be unreasonably withheld). HP and Enterprise shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other and, to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to any such Action, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege.

(iii) If either party desires to commence from and after the Effective Time an Action in respect of a Corporate Asset (that is not related to a Pending Corporate Action or subject to Section 6.12(c)), and HP and Enterprise agree on the commencement of such Action, then Enterprise shall (and HP shall not) direct the prosecution of such Action; provided that any outside counsel employed by Enterprise with respect thereto shall be subject to the approval of HP (not to be unreasonably withheld). The parties shall cooperate and consult with each other, and shall share equally any costs and recoveries, with respect to any such Action.

(iv) If either party desires to commence from and after the Effective Time an Action in respect of a Corporate Asset (that is not related to a Pending Corporate Action or subject to Section 6.12(c)), and HP and Enterprise do not agree on the commencement of such Action, then the party that desires to commence such Action shall be entitled to commence and direct the prosecution of such Action; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the party commencing such Action shall bear all of the costs, and receive all of the recoveries, with respect to any such Action.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)(i) or Schedule 2.3(c)(iv) or in Section 6.12(b)(iv): (A) any costs of defense, payouts or settlements (net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability) for an

Action, to the extent in respect of a Corporate Liability or Corporate Asset, shall be Corporate Liabilities and shared equally by the parties; and (B) any recoveries in an Action, to the extent in respect of a Corporate Liability or Corporate Asset, shall be Corporate Assets and shared equally by the parties.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, HP shall, or shall cause another member of the HPI Group to, direct the defense or prosecution of the Actions listed on Schedule 2.3(c)(vi)(E) (“Pending Environmental Actions”).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Action is commenced from and after the Effective Time in respect of any Corporate Liability under Section 2.3(c)(vi) that relates to, arises out of or results from any projects set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(iii) or that are Legacy Environmental Liabilities under Section 2.3(c)(vi)(B) (such Actions to be referred to collectively as “Remediation Obligation Actions”), HP shall, or shall cause another member of the HPI Group to, direct the defense, prosecution or management of such Remediation Obligation Actions. HP and Enterprise shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other and, to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to any such Remediation Obligation Actions, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege.

(iii) In the event that any Action is commenced that would constitute a Liability under Section 2.3(c)(vi), the party receiving notice of the Action shall notify the other party promptly. Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that as consideration for HP managing Pending Environmental Actions and Remediation Obligation Actions, HP shall have full decision-making authority with respect to the defense or prosecution and overall management of Pending Environmental Actions and Remediation Obligation Actions, including the exclusive authority to file any appeals or challenges to orders or directives from Governmental Authorities, to enter into settlements with third parties and Governmental Authorities and to interact with Governmental Authorities and third parties. Enterprise, and each member of the Enterprise Group, shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist HP and provide cooperation to HP in the management and administration of the Pending Environmental Actions and the Remediation Obligation Actions. HP shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide Enterprise with advance notice, to the extent such advance notice is practicable, of any media reports regarding the Pending Environmental Actions and the Remediation Obligation Actions.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Action is commenced from and after the Effective Time in respect of a Corporate Liability under Section 2.3(c)(vi) that is not a Remediation Obligation Action, HP and Enterprise will confer to determine the appropriate party to manage the Action with the goal of aligning the management of the Action to the party best suited to direct the defense or prosecution of the Action based on its resources and expertise. If HP and Enterprise cannot reach agreement on the assignment within thirty (30) days or any shorter period required to respond to protect or preserve one or both of the parties’ rights, Enterprise and HP will alternate the management of such Actions, with Enterprise directing the defense or prosecution of the first such Action, and HP directing the

defense or prosecution of the second such Action, in iterative fashion. HP and Enterprise shall reasonably cooperate and maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege, to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to any such Action.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, any costs of defense, payouts or settlements (net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability) for an Action, to the extent in respect of a Corporate Liability under this Section 6.12(c), shall be Corporate Liabilities and shared equally by the parties.

(d) Management of Other Corporate Liabilities. The parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with, and notify, each other with respect to the management and disposition of any Corporate Liability not otherwise addressed in Section 6.12(b), Section 6.12(c) or any other Transaction Document.

Section 6.13 Settlement of Actions. No party managing an Action pursuant to Section 6.11 or Section 6.12(b) shall settle or compromise such Action without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or compromise would result in any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of the other party’s Group.

If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the HPI Group under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the Enterprise Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. HP shall use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Enterprise Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 7.2(a), any Information to the extent relating to the Enterprise Business, furnished to or otherwise in the possession of any member of the HPI Group as a result of or in connection with the Separation or the performance of any Transaction Document, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by HP, any member of the HPI Group or their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, to the extent they contain or otherwise reflect such Information, is hereinafter referred to as “Enterprise Confidential Information.” Enterprise Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation under this Agreement with respect to, Information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the HPI Group not otherwise permissible under this Agreement, (ii) HP can demonstrate was or became available to HP after the Effective Time from a source other than Enterprise or its Affiliates, provided that such source was not known by HP to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to Enterprise or any member of the Enterprise Group with respect to such Information, or (iii) is developed independently by a member of the HPI Group without use or reference to the Enterprise Confidential Information.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 7.2(c) and except as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Enterprise shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly,

disclose to any Person, other than Representatives of Enterprise or its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in providing services to any member of the Enterprise Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any HPI Confidential Information. If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the Enterprise Group under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the HPI Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. Enterprise shall use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the HPI Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 7.2(b), any Information to the extent relating to the HPI Business, furnished to or otherwise in the possession of any member of the Enterprise Group as a result of or in connection with the Separation or the performance of any Transaction Document, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by Enterprise, any member of the Enterprise Group or their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, to the extent they contain or otherwise reflect such Information, is hereinafter referred to as “HPI Confidential Information.” HPI Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation under this Agreement with respect to, Information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the Enterprise Group not otherwise permissible under this Agreement, (ii) Enterprise can demonstrate was or became available to Enterprise after the Effective Time from a source other than HP or its Affiliates; provided that such source was not known by Enterprise to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to HP or any member of the HPI Group with respect to such Information, or (iii) is developed independently by a member of the Enterprise Group without use or reference to the HPI Confidential Information.

(c) If a member of the HPI Group, on the one hand, or a member of the Enterprise Group, on the other hand, is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or applicable Law to disclose or provide any Enterprise Confidential Information or HPI Confidential Information (other than with respect to any such Information furnished pursuant to the provisions of Article IV), as applicable, the Person receiving such request or demand shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable so that such other party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. The party receiving such request or demand shall take, and cause its Representatives to take, at the requesting party’s expense, all other reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient. Subject to the foregoing, the party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide any Enterprise Confidential Information or HPI Confidential Information, as the case may be, to the extent required by such Governmental Authority or applicable Law (as so advised by counsel).

Section 7.3 Insurance Matters.

(a) Ownership of Insurance Policies. From and after the Effective Time, HP or one (1) or more members of the HPI Group shall continue to own all Insurance Policies, insurance contracts and claim administration contracts of any kind in place as of the Effective

Time for which only one (1) or more members of the HPI Group are named insureds as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “HPI Insurance Policies”). From and after the Effective Time, Enterprise or one (1) or more members of the Enterprise Group shall continue to own all Insurance Policies, insurance contracts and claim administration contracts of any kind in place as of the Effective Time for which only one (1) or more members of the Enterprise Group are named insureds as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Enterprise Insurance Policies”). From and after the Effective Time, HP or one (1) or more members of the HPI Group, on the one hand, and Enterprise or one (1) or more members of the Enterprise Group, on the other hand, shall jointly own all Insurance Policies, insurance contracts and claim administration contracts of any kind in place as of the Effective Time for which one (1) or more members of the HPI Group and one (1) or more members of the Enterprise Group are named insureds as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Joint Insurance Policies”). Nothing contained herein shall be construed to be an attempted assignment of or a change to any part of the ownership of the HPI Insurance Policies or shall be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the HPI Group in respect thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to be an attempted assignment of or a change to any part of the ownership of the Enterprise Insurance Policies or shall be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Enterprise Group in respect thereof. No provision of this Agreement is intended to relieve any insurer of any Liability under any policy.

(b) Coverage for Claims Arising Prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, HP shall not be obligated to maintain insurance coverage with respect to the Enterprise Business, and Enterprise shall not be obligated to maintain insurance coverage with respect to the HPI Business, except as expressly provided in this Section 7.3(b). To the extent permitted under the terms of any applicable HPI Insurance Policy or Joint Insurance Policy, each member of the Enterprise Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees will be successors in interest and will have and be fully entitled to continue to exercise all rights that any of them may have as of the Effective Time (with respect to events occurring prior to the Effective Time, regardless of when claims in respect of such events are reported) as a Subsidiary, Affiliate, division, director, officer or employee of HP prior to the Effective Time under any HPI Insurance Policy or Joint Insurance Policy or any agreements related to the HPI Insurance Policies or Joint Insurance Policies executed and delivered prior to the Effective Time. To the extent permitted under the terms of any applicable Enterprise Insurance Policy or Joint Insurance Policy, each member of the HPI Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees will be successors in interest and will have and be fully entitled to continue to exercise all rights that any of them may have as of the Effective Time (with respect to events occurring prior to the Effective Time, regardless of when claims in respect of such events are reported) as a Subsidiary, Affiliate, division, director, officer or employee of Enterprise prior to the Effective Time under any Enterprise Insurance Policy or Joint Insurance Policy or any agreements related to the Enterprise Insurance Policies or Joint Insurance Policies executed and delivered prior to the Effective Time. In relation to such Insurance Policies (the “Shared Insurance Policies”), the parties agree to the following:

(i) Maintenance. After the Effective Time, HP (and each other member of the HPI Group) and Enterprise (and each other member of the Enterprise Group) shall not, without the consent of Enterprise or HP, respectively (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provide any insurance carrier with a release or

amend, modify or waive any rights under any Shared Insurance Policy if such release, amendment, modification or waiver thereunder would materially adversely affect any rights of any member of the Group of the other party with respect to insurance coverage otherwise afforded to such other party for claims arising prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not (i) preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from exhausting any Shared Insurance Policy limit, (ii) require any member of any Group to pay any premium or other amount or to incur any other Liability or (iii) require any member of any Group to renew, extend or continue any Shared Insurance Policy in force. Subject to Article IV, each of HP and Enterprise shall share such Information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other to manage and conduct its insurance matters in an orderly fashion.

(ii) Coverage Limits Exceeded. If the aggregate limits of any Shared Insurance Policies are exceeded by the aggregate of outstanding Insured Claims by the parties or the members of their respective Groups, then the parties agree to allocate the Insurance Proceeds received under such Shared Insurance Policies based upon their respective percentage of the total of their claims that would have been covered under the Shared Insurance Policies if such aggregate limits had not been exceeded. Any party (or any member of its respective Group) that has received Insurance Proceeds in excess of the respective percentage of Insurance Proceeds allocated to such party in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall pay to the other party the appropriate amount so that each party (or a member of its respective Group) will have received its respective percentage of such Insurance Proceeds. Each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under the Shared Insurance Policies and to take commercially reasonable steps to recover from all other responsible parties in respect of an Insured Claim to the extent the coverage limits under a Shared Insurance Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of the Insured Claim.

(iii) Deductibles and Self-Insurance Retentions. If the Shared Insurance Policies have either (A) an aggregate deductible or self-insurance retention or (B) an individual deductible or self-insurance retention that applies to each Insured Claim, and the parties (or members of their respective Groups) both have claims under such policy for the same occurrence, then the parties agree that the applicable deductible or self-insurance retention will be borne by the parties in the same proportion as the Insurance Proceeds received by each such party bears to the aggregate Insurance Proceeds received by the parties under the applicable Shared Insurance Policy.

(iv) Reinstatement of Policy Limits. To the extent that any Insurance Policy provided for the reinstatement of policy limits, and both HP and Enterprise desire to reinstate such limits, the cost of reinstatement will be shared by HP and Enterprise as the parties may agree. If either party, in its sole discretion, determines that such reinstatement would not be beneficial, that party shall not contribute to the cost of reinstatement and will not make any claim thereunder nor otherwise seek to benefit from the reinstated policy limits.

(v) Claims Administration. From and after the Effective Time, HP shall be responsible for Claims Administration with respect to claims of the HPI Group under the Shared Insurance Policies, and Enterprise shall be responsible for Claims Administration with respect to claims of the Enterprise Group under the Shared Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Enterprise shall provide HP with at least five (5) days’ prior written notice before

any member of the Enterprise Group settles or seeks settlement authority under any Shared Insurance Policy for an amount equal to or exceeding $20 million with respect to any claim under such Shared Insurance Policy, and HP shall provide Enterprise with at least five (5) days’ prior written notice before any member of the HPI Group settles or seeks settlement authority under any Shared Insurance Policy for an amount equal to or exceeding $20 million with respect to any claim under such Shared Insurance Policy.

(vi) Cooperation. The parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Agreement.

(vii) Premiums. HP will pay all premiums, Taxes, assessments or similar charges (retrospectively rated or otherwise) in accordance with the Shared Insurance Policies in relation to periods of coverage prior to the Effective Time; provided that the portion of such premiums and other payments paid by HP that HP reasonably determines to be attributable to the Enterprise Business shall be allocated to Enterprise and included on the Enterprise Balance Sheet.

(c) Release. Subject to compliance with this Section 7.3, in no event will a party have any Liability whatsoever to any member of the other party’s Group if any Insurance Policy is terminated or otherwise ceases to be in effect for any reason, is unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of either party’s Group for any reason whatsoever or is not renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date. Furthermore, each party, on behalf of its Group, releases each member of the other party’s Group with respect to any Liabilities whatsoever as a result of the Insurance Policies and insurance practices of the other party’s Group as in effect at any time prior to the Effective Time, including as a result of (i) the level or scope of any insurance, (ii) the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, (iii) the terms and conditions of any Insurance Policy or (iv) the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim.

Section 7.4 Separation Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document:

(a) HP shall pay for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of HP, Enterprise and any of their Subsidiaries incurred in connection with the Separation, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Separation Expenses”) that are incurred prior to the Effective Time (but not actually paid prior to the Effective Time) and that are exclusively related to the establishment of HP’s operations as a standalone company;

(b) Enterprise shall pay for all Separation Expenses that are incurred prior to the Effective Time (but not actually paid prior to the Effective Time) and that are exclusively related to the establishment of Enterprise’s operations as a standalone company;

(c) each of HP and Enterprise shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate in good faith all Separation Expenses that are incurred prior to the Effective Time (but not actually paid prior to the Effective Time) and that are not otherwise allocated pursuant to

Section 7.4(a) or Section 7.4(b), based on the proportionate contribution of such Separation Expenses to the establishment of each of HP’s and Enterprise’s operations as a standalone company, and otherwise the parties shall share such Separation Expenses equally; and

(d) each of HP and Enterprise shall pay for all Separation Expenses that are incurred by such party at or after the Effective Time.

Section 7.5 Transaction Documents. Effective on or prior to the Effective Time, each of HP and Enterprise will, or will cause the applicable members of its Group to, execute and deliver the Transition Services Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, the Real Estate Matters Agreement and the Commercial Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of any of the other Transaction Documents conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such other agreement or agreements shall govern with respect to the subject matter addressed thereby. Specifically, the parties intend that, to the extent set forth in such other Transaction Document and unless otherwise provided therein, (i) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to Taxes or other Tax matters (including indemnification for Taxes and control of any Tax Contest (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement)) shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the covenants and agreements contained in Section 2.4(e), Section 2.5(e), Section 2.9(b), Section 6.5(c) and Section 6.7(c) of this Agreement shall apply in accordance with their terms and nothing in this clause (i) shall be interpreted as affecting the applicability of, or the rights and obligations set forth in, such provisions), (ii) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to employment matters or matters relating to compensation and benefits provided to Service Providers shall be governed exclusively by the Employee Matters Agreement, (iii) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to real property matters shall be governed exclusively by the Real Estate Matters Agreement, (iv) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matters contemplated by the Commercial Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the Commercial Agreement and (v) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matters contemplated by any Intercompany Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the applicable Intercompany Agreement.

Section 7.6 Payments; Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments between the parties contemplated by this Agreement, other than payments contemplated by Section 2.13, shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule set forth on Schedule 7.6. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (after giving effect to the payment schedule set forth on Schedule 7.6), shall accrue interest at the rate per annum set forth on Schedule 7.6.

(a) HPI Restricted Business. From the Effective Time through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Distribution Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Enterprise will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, engage in any HPI Restricted Business or own, operate, control, share any revenues of or have any profit or other equity interest in any business engaged in an HPI Restricted Business. “HPI Restricted Business” shall mean the sale of any of the products or services set forth on Schedule 7.7(a) in any jurisdiction worldwide.

(b) Enterprise Restricted Business. During the Non-Competition Period, HP will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, engage in any Enterprise Restricted Business or own, operate, control, share any revenues of or have any profit or other equity interest in any business engaged in an Enterprise Restricted Business. “Enterprise Restricted Business” shall mean the sale of any of the products or services set forth on Schedule 7.7(b) in any jurisdiction worldwide.

(c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.7, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit, preclude or in any way restrict HP or Enterprise or their respective Groups from:

(i) undertaking any activity expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and that is set forth on Schedule 7.7(c)(i);

(ii) purchasing or acquiring, or being the holder or beneficial owner of, five percent (5%) or less of the equity securities of any Person;

(iii) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any assets, operations or Person that is engaged in a business activity that would otherwise violate Section 7.7(a) or Section 7.7(b), as applicable (a “Competing Business”), if (A) such Competing Business represented less than five percent (5%) and $50 million, in each case of the consolidated annual revenues (in the last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition of such Competing Business) of such acquired assets, operations or Person taken as a whole; and (B) such Competing Business, together with all other Competing Businesses acquired in accordance with this Section 7.7(c)(iii), represented in the aggregate less than $300 million in consolidated annual revenue (as measured for each Competing Business in the last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition of such Competing Business);

(iv) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any assets, operations or Person that is engaged in Competing Business, if such Competing Business represented consolidated annual revenues in excess of either of the thresholds set forth in Section 7.7(c)(iii) but less than thirty percent (30%) and $300 million, in each case of the consolidated annual revenues (in the last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition of such Competing Business) of such acquired assets, operations or Person taken as a whole; provided that HP or Enterprise, as applicable, commits in writing to (and does) within twelve (12) months following such acquisition (the “Divestiture Period”) complete the divestiture of at least that portion of the Competing Business such that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7, as applicable, would not operate to restrict such ownership; provided, further, that in no event shall the divesting party be permitted to reacquire such divested portion of the Competing Business prior to the later to expire of the Divestiture Period and the Non-Competition Period. The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.7, the divestiture obligation set forth in this Section 7.7(c)(iv) shall continue to apply even if the Non-Competition Period expires before the expiration of the Divestiture Period.

(d) Dispositions.

(i) If any member of a Group sells or otherwise disposes of a company, product line, business or assets (constituting less than all or substantially all of the assets of such Group) to a third party (a “Disposed Business”) after the Effective Time and prior to the end of the Non-Competition Period, then the Disposed Business (but not the third party acquiror or its other Subsidiaries) shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7, to the same extent as they apply to the disposing party immediately prior to the sale or other disposition of the Disposed Business, from the closing of the sale or other disposition until the end of the Non-Competition Period. In connection with the entry into an agreement providing for such sale or other disposition, the disposing party shall cause the acquiring third party to enter into an agreement, reasonably acceptable to the other party hereto, that subjects the Disposed Business to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7, to the same extent as they apply to the disposing party immediately prior to the sale or other disposition of the Disposed Business, from the closing of the sale or other disposition until the end of the Non-Competition Period

(ii) If HP or Enterprise undergoes a Change of Control after the Effective Time and prior to the end of the Non-Competition Period, then in connection with the entry into an agreement providing for such Change of Control, such party shall cause the acquiring third party to enter into an agreement, reasonably acceptable to the other party, that subjects the acquired operations and activities to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7, to the same extent as they apply to such party immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, for the remainder of the Non-Competition Period. “Change of Control” shall mean, with respect to HP or Enterprise, as applicable, the occurrence after the Effective Time of any of the following: (A) the sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (however accomplished), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of such party’s Group to a third Person that is not an Affiliate of such party prior to such transaction or the first of such related transactions; (B) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of such party with or into any other entity, immediately following which the stockholders of such party immediately prior to such transaction fail to own in the aggregate at least a majority of the voting power in the election of directors of all the outstanding voting securities of the surviving party in such consolidation, merger or business combination or of its ultimate publicly traded parent entity; (C) a transaction or series of transactions in which any Person or “group” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires at least 35% of the outstanding voting securities of such party and effective control of such party (other than (I) a reincorporation, holding company merger or similar corporate transaction in which each of such party’s stockholders owns, immediately thereafter, interests in the new parent company in substantially the same percentage as such stockholder owned in such party immediately prior to such transaction, or (II) in connection with a transaction described in clause (B), which shall be governed by such clause (B)); or (D) a majority of the board of directors of such party ceasing to consist of individuals who have become directors as a result of being nominated or elected by a majority of such party’s directors.

(e) Remedies; Enforcement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that (i) injury to the other party from any breach of the obligations of such party set forth in this Section 7.7 or Section 7.8 would be irreparable and impossible to measure and (ii) the remedies at law

for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.7 or Section 7.8, including monetary damages, would therefore be inadequate compensation for any loss and the other party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 9.12, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Each party understands and acknowledges that that the restrictive covenants and other agreements contained in this Section 7.7 and Section 7.8 are an essential part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 7.7 and Section 7.8 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision or portion of this Section 7.7 or Section 7.8 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision or portion valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision or portion thereof in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

Section 7.8 Non-Solicitation and No-Hire. Each party agrees that, for a period of twelve (12) months from the Distribution Date such party shall not solicit for employment, and for a period of six (6) months from the Distribution Date such party shall not hire, any individual who is an HPI Employee, in the case of Enterprise, or an Enterprise Employee, in the case of HP; provided, however, that this Section 7.8 shall not prohibit: (a) generalized solicitations that are not directed to employees of the other party (provided that this clause (a) shall not by itself permit the hiring of employees otherwise prohibited by this Section 7.8); (b) the solicitation or hiring of a Person whose employment was terminated by the other party (including any termination pursuant to a workforce reduction program but excluding any voluntary termination by such Person); (c) the solicitation or hiring of a Person after receipt by the soliciting or hiring party (in advance of any solicitation or hiring or, in the case of a response to a general solicitation as permitted under clause (a) above, in advance of any subsequent solicitation in connection with the recruiting process or hiring) of the express written consent of the senior Human Resources executive of the other party; or (d) the solicitation or hiring of any Former HPI Employee (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement) or Former Enterprise Employee (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement).

(a) HP shall perform, or cause to be performed, the Remediation Obligations set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(iii) (Projects with Remediation Obligations and Remediation Cost Trigger). As set forth in Section 2.3(c)(vi)(D), once HP has met the Remediation Cost Trigger by expenditures of Allowable Costs arising from Remedial Activities at the projects set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(iii) (Projects with Remediation Obligations and Remediation Cost Trigger), any additional costs incurred in fulfilling the Remediation Obligations shall become Corporate Liabilities and managed and shared equally in accordance with Section 6.12(c).

On a quarterly basis, HP shall provide Enterprise with a summary of changes in the costs forecasted by HP for Remedial Activities at each of the projects set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(iii) (Projects with Remediation Obligations and Remediation Cost Trigger) in a mutually acceptable form and manner, and such information shall be considered HPI Confidential Information in accordance with Section 7.2(b). Upon written request from Enterprise (provided that such request does not occur more than once in a calendar year), HP shall also provide Enterprise with a summary of the Remedial Activities that were completed in the prior year. If HP has completed all Remedial Activities necessary to fulfill all Remediation Obligations and has received a written no further action determination or certificate of completion or similar determination from the applicable Governmental Authority (Completion Notice) for all of the projects set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(iii) (Projects with Remediation Obligations and Remediation Cost Trigger) and the Remediation Cost Trigger has not been met, HP shall reimburse Enterprise 50% of the difference between the Allowable Costs incurred by HP in fulfilling all Remediation Obligations and the Remediation Cost Trigger.

(d) Enterprise, and each member of the Enterprise Group, agrees that as part of the consideration for HP performing the Remediation Obligations, HP shall have full decision-making authority with respect to all Remediation Obligations, including the exclusive authority to file any appeals or challenges to orders or directives from Governmental Authorities, to enter into any settlements with third parties and Governmental Authorities, and HP shall have the exclusive authority to interact with Governmental Authorities and third parties regarding these Remediation Obligations.

(f) Enterprise, and each member of the Enterprise Group, shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist HP in the approval and implementation of the Remedial Activities developed by HP to fulfill the Remediation Obligations.

(i) HP’s Remediation Obligations shall be satisfied when a no further action determination or certificate of completion or similar determination is received from the applicable Governmental Authority. Once HP has received such a written communication from the applicable Governmental Authority, any Remedial Activities required in the future at that property shall be governed by Section 2.3(c)(vi)(C).

(j) In the event that any Action is commenced that would constitute a Corporate Liability under Section 2.3(c)(vi), the party receiving notice of the Action shall notify the other party promptly in writing.

(k) Schedule 7.9 sets forth additional provisions for the Remediation Obligations at the projects set forth on Schedule 7.9.

Section 7.10 Permits. The HPI Group shall cooperate with the Enterprise Group and take actions that are reasonably necessary to finalize or effectuate the transfer of a permit to the Enterprise Group that is designated as an Enterprise Asset and that is not already transferred to a member of the Enterprise Group as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 General. Except as expressly provided in this Article VIII, Section 9.12 or in any other Transaction Document, the procedures set forth in this Article VIII shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, between or among any members of the HPI Group, on the one hand, and any members of the Enterprise Group, on the other hand (a “Dispute”). Each party agrees on behalf of itself and the members of its Group that the procedures set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any such Dispute and irrevocably waives any right to commence any Action in or before any Governmental Authority, except as expressly provided in this Article VIII, Section 9.12 or in any other Transaction Document and except to the extent provided under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the “Arbitration Act”), in the case of judicial review of arbitration results or awards. EACH PARTY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF ITS GROUP IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ANY TRIAL IN A COURT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE JURISDICTION OVER ANY DISPUTE.

Section 8.2 Negotiation Between Executives. Either party seeking resolution of any Dispute shall first provide written notice thereof to the other party (a “Dispute Notice”). Following delivery of such Dispute Notice, the parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by appropriate executives who have authority to settle the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party

to the other will be honored. If the parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Dispute Notice or if a party reasonably concludes that the other party is not willing to negotiate in good faith as contemplated by this Section 8.2, either party may submit the Dispute to mediation in accordance with Section 8.3.

Section 8.3 Mandatory Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 8.2 shall, at the written request of any party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to mandatory mediation in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure (the “Procedure”) then in effect, except as otherwise set forth in this Article VIII. The mediation shall be held in Palo Alto, California or such other place as the parties may mutually agree. The parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a party of a Mediation Request, then any party may request (on written notice to the other party), that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. If the Dispute has not been resolved within the earlier of sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator or ninety (90) days after receipt by a party of a Mediation Request, or within such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 8.4; provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in the mediation, the other party may commence arbitration in accordance with Section 8.4 prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above.

Section 8.4 Binding Arbitration.

(a) Any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to Section 8.3 shall, at the written request of any party (an “Arbitration Demand Notice”), be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 8.4(a). If either party shall deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice, the other party may itself deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to such first party with respect to any related Dispute without the requirement of first delivering a Dispute Notice as contemplated by Section 8.2 or a Mediation Request as contemplated by Section 8.3. Subject to Section 8.5, upon delivery of an Arbitration Demand Notice in accordance with this Section 8.4(a), the Dispute shall be decided in accordance with this Section 8.4(a).

(i) Any arbitration hereunder will be conducted in accordance with CPR Rules for Administered Arbitration then in effect (the “CPR Arbitration Rules”); provided, however, that to the extent that the provisions of this Agreement and the CPR Arbitration Rules conflict, the provisions of this Agreement (including this Article VIII) shall govern. Unless the parties otherwise agree, any such arbitration shall be conducted by and before a single arbitrator selected by the parties in accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule 8.4(a)(i). Any arbitrator selected pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) shall be neutral and disinterested with respect to each of the parties and the subject matter of the Dispute.

(ii) The arbitrator shall have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability but shall otherwise be limited to interpreting or construing the applicable provisions of this Agreement or other Transaction Document, and will have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or other Transaction Document; it being understood that the arbitrator will have full authority to implement the provisions of this Agreement or other Transaction Document and

to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of this Agreement or other Transaction Document (including interim or permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief); provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have (i) any authority in excess of the authority a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the Dispute would have absent these arbitration provisions or (ii) any right or power to award special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, consequential, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages, except to the extent such damages are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or other Transaction Document, as applicable. It is the intention of the parties that in rendering a decision the arbitrator will give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and follow applicable Law.

(iii) If a party fails or refuses to appear at and participate in an arbitration hearing after due notice, the arbitrator may hear and determine the controversy upon evidence produced by the appearing party. Any decision rendered under such circumstances shall be as valid and enforceable as if the parties had appeared and participated fully at all stages.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the fees of the arbitrator and all other arbitration costs shall be borne equally by each party, except that each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses, including the costs of witnesses selected by such party.

(v) Any arbitration award shall be an award with a holding in favor of or against a party and shall include findings as to facts, issues or conclusions of law, and shall include a statement of the reasoning on which the award rests. The award must also be in adequate form so that a judgment of a court may be entered thereupon. Judgment upon any such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(vi) Any arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be held in Palo Alto, California or such other place as the parties may mutually agree.

(vii) The arbitration, including the interpretation of the provisions of this Article VIII only to the extent they relate to the agreement to arbitrate set forth herein and any procedures pursuant thereto, shall be governed by the Arbitration Act. In all other respects, the interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed as set forth in Section 9.2.

Section 8.5 Interim Equitable Relief. Regardless of whether a Dispute Notice, Mediation Request or Arbitration Demand Notice has been delivered, prior to the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 8.4(a), either party may seek interim equitable relief from any arbitrator set forth on Schedule 8.4(a)(i) in order to preserve and protect the status quo. Such arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any interim equitable relief that a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the Dispute would have authority to grant. Neither the request for, nor the grant or denial of, any such relief shall be deemed a waiver of the dispute resolution obligations set forth herein. The parties agree to be bound by any interim equitable relief granted in accordance with this Section 8.5, and judgment upon any such award of interim equitable relief may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Section 8.6 Confidentiality of Negotiation, Mediation and Arbitration. Except as required by applicable Law, each party shall hold, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to hold, all dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to this Article VIII (including the existence, content and results thereof) in confidence (other than disclosure to its advisors, or to the extent disclosure is otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.2, or as may be required in order to enforce any agreement or award) and shall request that the mediator or arbitrator, as applicable, comply with such confidentiality requirement. The parties also agree to jointly request that any court in which a judgment upon any award hereunder is entered or enforced maintain all filings in connection therewith under seal, and to oppose any third-party’s request for access to sealed filings. Dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 8.4(a) and Section 8.5 shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

Section 8.7 Limitation on Certain Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except with respect to any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in Section 7.2, Section 7.7 or Section 7.8, neither party nor its Affiliates shall be liable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as expressly provided in any such other Transaction Document) to the other party for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, consequential, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than any such liability with respect to a Third Party Claim), whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages and whether or not such damages are reasonably foreseeable.

Section 8.8 No Effect on Other Commitments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document during the course of resolution of a Dispute pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Corporate Power; Facsimile Signatures.

(a) HP represents on behalf of itself and on behalf of other members of the HPI Group, and Enterprise represents on behalf of itself and on behalf of other members of the Enterprise Group, as follows:

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

(ii) this Agreement and each Transaction Document 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.

(b) Each party acknowledges that it and each other party is executing certain of the Transaction Documents by facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by email in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 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 email in .pdf) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will 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 will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause each such Transaction Document 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.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, neither HP nor Enterprise shall be required to take or omit to take any act that would violate its fiduciary duties to any minority stockholders of any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of HP or Enterprise, as the case may be (it being understood that directors’ qualifying shares or similar interests will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned).

Section 9.2 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial.

(a) This Agreement and, unless expressly provided therein, each other Transaction Document, shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(b) Each of HP and Enterprise, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, hereby irrevocably (i) agrees that any Dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, (ii) waives any claims of forum non conveniens and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and (iii) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 9.6 shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any such court or for the taking of any other acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate any judgment of said courts.

Section 9.3 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein or therein, shall survive each of the Reorganization and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.4 Waivers of Default. A waiver by a party of any default by the other party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default. No failure or delay by

a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving.

Section 9.5 Force Majeure. No party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any other Transaction Document, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) notify the other parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement or the applicable other Transaction Document as soon as feasible.

Section 9.6 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable and unless otherwise provided therein, under each of the other Transaction Documents, shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by facsimile or electronic transmission with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) 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 9.6):

Section 9.7 Termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of HP without the prior approval of any Person, including Enterprise. After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall become void and no party, or any of its officers and directors, shall have any liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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.

Section 9.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that a party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of any assets or entities or lines of business of such party or in connection with a merger transaction in which such party is not the surviving entity; provided, however, that in each case, no such assignment shall release such party from any liability or obligation under

this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. Except as provided in Article VI with respect to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and members of their respective Groups and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Time, HP and Enterprise shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except 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. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the completion of the Distribution shall be in the form of Schedule 9.11.

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. Subject to Article VIII, 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 other Transaction Document (except as otherwise provided therein), the party or parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) of their rights under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, 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, may be 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.

Section 9.13 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as otherwise provided therein) may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto, as applicable.

Section 9.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, and by each party in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
