Parent will, and will cause the other applicable members of the RemainCo Group to, contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to SpinCo, or the applicable SpinCo Designees, and SpinCo or such SpinCo Designees will accept from Parent and the applicable members of the RemainCo Group, all of Parent’s and such RemainCo Group members’ respective direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to all of the SpinCo Assets (it being understood that if any SpinCo Asset will be held by a Transferred Entity or a wholly owned Subsidiary of a Transferred Entity, such SpinCo Asset may be assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to SpinCo as a result of the transfer of all of the equity interests in such Transferred Entity from Parent or the other applicable members of the RemainCo Group to SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Designee), such that the SpinCo Group will own, to the extent that it does not already own, all of the SpinCo Assets.

(iii) Acceptance and Assumption of SpinCo Liabilities. SpinCo and the applicable SpinCo Designees will accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all the SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (it being understood that if any SpinCo Liability is a liability of a Transferred

Entity or a wholly owned Subsidiary of a Transferred Entity, such SpinCo Liability may be assumed by SpinCo as a result of the transfer of all of the equity interests in such Transferred Entity from Parent or the other applicable members of the RemainCo Group to SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Designee; provided that SpinCo will cause such Transferred Entity and such SpinCo Designee to perform, discharge and fulfill all such SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms), such that the SpinCo Group will be liable for, to the extent it is not already liable for, all SpinCo Liabilities. SpinCo and such SpinCo Designees will be responsible for all SpinCo Liabilities, regardless of when or where such SpinCo Liabilities arose or arise, whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Effective Time, where or against whom such SpinCo Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any SpinCo Liabilities arising out of claims made by Parent’s or SpinCo’s respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to or subsequent to the Effective Time, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(iv) Transfer and Assignment of RemainCo Assets. Parent and SpinCo will cause SpinCo and the other applicable members of the SpinCo Group to contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Parent or certain members of the RemainCo Group designated by Parent, and Parent or such other members of the RemainCo Group will accept from SpinCo and the applicable members of the SpinCo Group, all of SpinCo’s and such SpinCo Group members’ respective direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to all RemainCo Assets, such that the RemainCo Group will own, to the extent that it does not already own, all of the RemainCo Assets.

(b) Transfer Documents. In furtherance of the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Assets and the acceptance and assumption of the Liabilities in accordance with Section 2.1(a), (i) each of Parent and SpinCo will execute and deliver, and will cause the applicable other members of its Group to execute and deliver, to the other, 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 necessary to evidence the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all of such Party’s and the applicable members of its Group’s right, title and interest in and to such Assets to the other and the applicable other members of its Group in accordance with Section 2.1(a), and (ii) each of Parent and SpinCo will execute and deliver, and will cause the applicable other members of its Group to execute and deliver, to the other, such assumptions of Contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the extent necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Liabilities by such Party or the applicable members of its Group in accordance with Section 2.1(a). All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.1(b) will be referred to collectively herein as the “Transfer Documents.”

(c) Misallocations. If at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time), one Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) receives or otherwise possesses any Asset that is or should have been allocated to the other Party (or any other member of such other Party’s Group) pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Party will promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset to the Party so entitled thereto (or to such member of such Party’s Group), and such Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) will accept such Asset. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such Asset will hold such Asset in trust for such other Person. In the event that, at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time), one Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) receives or otherwise is obligated for any Liability that is or should have been allocated to another unaffiliated Party (or the other applicable member of such Party’s Group) pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Party will promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Liability to the Party (or to such member of such Party’s Group) responsible therefor, and the Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) responsible therefor will accept, assume and agree to faithfully perform such Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time), one Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) shall make a payment in respect of any Liability that the Parties agree is allocated to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, such other Party shall reimburse the first Party for the amount so paid as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written evidence of such payment.

(d) Waiver of Bulk-Sale and Bulk-Transfer Laws. SpinCo hereby waives compliance by each and every member of the SpinCo Group with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-sale” or “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the SpinCo Assets to any member of the SpinCo Group. Parent hereby waives compliance by each and every member of the RemainCo Group with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-sale” or “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the RemainCo Assets to any member of the RemainCo Group.

2.2 Approvals and Notifications.

(a) To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability contemplated herein 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 that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, neither Party will be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment of any Asset or assumption of any Liability contemplated herein would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Effective Time then, unless the Parties otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment of such Asset or the assumption of such Liability, as the case may be, will be automatically deemed deferred (any such SpinCo Assets, the “Delayed SpinCo Assets,” any such SpinCo Liabilities, the “Delayed SpinCo Liabilities,” any such RemainCo Assets, the “Delayed RemainCo Assets” and any such RemainCo Liabilities, the “Delayed RemainCo Liabilities”) and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption will 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 Assets will continue to constitute SpinCo Assets or RemainCo Assets, as the case may be, and any such Liabilities will continue to constitute SpinCo Liabilities or RemainCo Liabilities, as the case may be, for all other purposes of this Agreement and the Person retaining such Asset or Liability will thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit or burden, as applicable, insofar as reasonably possible, of the Person entitled thereto or obligated thereon (at such Person’s sole expense). The Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to continue to seek to remove all legal impediments or obtain such Approvals or Notifications (as applicable) as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except with respect to those Assets and Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.2(b), the obligations set forth in this sentence will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Distribution. The Person retaining such Asset or Liability will treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person entitled to receive such Asset or obligated to assume such Liability and develop and implement arrangements to place the Person entitled to receive such Asset or obligated to assume such Liability, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent not

prohibited by applicable Law or the relevant Contract, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby such that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, inure to the applicable Group.

(c) If and when the applicable legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Asset or the assumption of the applicable Liability, as the case may be, will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

2.3 Novation of Liabilities.

(a) Novation of SpinCo Liabilities.

(ii) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and the applicable member of the RemainCo Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased SpinCo Liability”), SpinCo will, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such member of the RemainCo Group, as the case may be, (A) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the RemainCo Group that constitute Unreleased SpinCo Liabilities from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms thereunder and (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any member of the RemainCo Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release will be obtained or the Unreleased SpinCo Liabilities will otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Parent will promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and SpinCo or the applicable SpinCo Group member will assume, such Unreleased SpinCo Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

(b) Novation of RemainCo Liabilities.

(i) Each of the Parties, at the request of the other, will 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 RemainCo Liabilities and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of the SpinCo Group that is a party to any related agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability, so that, in any such case, the members of the RemainCo Group will be solely responsible for such RemainCo Liabilities; provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, neither Parent nor SpinCo will 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 Party from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

(ii) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and the applicable member of the SpinCo Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased RemainCo Liability”), Parent will, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such member of the SpinCo Group, as the case may be, (A) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the SpinCo Group that constitute Unreleased RemainCo Liabilities from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms thereunder and (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any member of the SpinCo Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release will be obtained or the Unreleased RemainCo Liabilities will otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, SpinCo will promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and RemainCo or the applicable RemainCo Group member will assume, such Unreleased RemainCo Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the SpinCo Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Portion”), which rights will be a SpinCo Asset and which obligations will be a SpinCo Liability, and (b) a member of the RemainCo Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the RemainCo Business (the “RemainCo Portion”), which rights will be a RemainCo Asset and which obligations will be a RemainCo Liability. If the Parties are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties will, and will cause the applicable other members of their respective Groups to, cooperate in any lawful arrangement to provide that a member of the SpinCo Group will receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the SpinCo Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the RemainCo Group will receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the RemainCo Portion under such Shared Contract; provided, however, that no Party will be required to expend any money or take any action in furtherance of this Section 2.6 that would require the expenditure of money (other than any payment obligations under the applicable Shared Contract) and neither Party will 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 (other than any payment obligations under the applicable Shared Contract) in furtherance of this Section 2.6.

(b) With respect to any outstanding checks issued or payments initiated by Parent, SpinCo or any other member of their respective Groups prior to the Effective Time, such outstanding checks and payments will be honored following the Effective Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.

Each of Parent (on behalf of itself and each member of the RemainCo Group) and SpinCo (on behalf of itself and each member of the SpinCo Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.9 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of

any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Parent or any member of the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any RemainCo Liability or any SpinCo Liability (except as expressly set forth herein, or in the Investment Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement), respectively, then the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) will prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

Any determination made by the Parent Board prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(a) will be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

3.4 The Distribution.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3, at or prior to the Effective Time, SpinCo will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Record Holders, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding SpinCo Shares as is necessary to effect the Distribution, and will cause the transfer agent for the Parent Shares to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of SpinCo Shares to each such Record Holder or designated transferee or transferees of such Record Holder by crediting such number of SpinCo Shares to book-entry accounts of such Record Holder or designated transferee or transferees of such Record Holder. The Distribution will be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4(c), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of whole SpinCo Shares to be determined by resolution of the Parent Board, for every one Parent Share held by such Record Holder on the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled will not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a shareholder of SpinCo. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a SpinCo Share pursuant to the Distribution, will be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional SpinCo Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers’ fees and commissions. None of Parent, SpinCo or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional SpinCo Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Neither Parent nor SpinCo will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold will be Affiliates of the Parties. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of Parent Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account will be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

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

(e) Until the SpinCo Shares are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.4 and applicable Law and subject to Section 3.4(d), from and after the Effective Time, SpinCo will regard the Persons entitled to receive such SpinCo Shares as record holders of such SpinCo Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons. SpinCo agrees that, subject to any transfers of such SpinCo Shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such record holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the SpinCo Shares then held by such record holder, and (ii) each such record holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such record holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the SpinCo Shares then held by such record holder.

(d) No Claims. SpinCo will not make, and will not permit any other member of the SpinCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any Parent Released Person, with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). Parent will not make, and will not permit any other member of the RemainCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any SpinCo Released Person, with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

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

(a) any SpinCo Liability;

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

(c) any breach by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group of (i) this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, or (ii) any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(e) the enforcement by RemainCo Indemnitees of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 4.2.

4.3 Indemnification by Parent.

(e) the enforcement by RemainCo Indemnitees of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 4.3.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (including pursuant to any indemnity from a Third Party) (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any

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

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer or other Person (including pursuant to any indemnity from a Third Party ) that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim will not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party will be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the liability allocation, indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party will, and will cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek or collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds or any indemnity by any Third Party that may be collectible or recoverable with respect to the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV; provided that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or indemnity from a Third Party will not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, after the Effective Time, an Indemnitee will receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 14 days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) will not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent (if any) to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise, subject to Section 4.5(e)), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided that prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it will first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnitee for any Liabilities to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party will promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee will have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party will provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within 30 days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim will be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party will be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and will not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within 30 days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim or has subsequently released the control of such defense to the Indemnitee as contemplated hereby, nevertheless will have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel, as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) will not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.9, such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party will cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee will in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel, as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. No Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which the other Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable, and are capable of being paid in full, by the settling or compromising Party, does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party (or any other member of its Group or any of their respective past, present or future directors, officers or employees) and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of such other Party (and each other relevant member of its Group and any of its or their relevant past, present, or future directors, officers or employees) from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle or comprise such Third Party Clam without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which such Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within 30 days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal will be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

4.6 Additional Matters.

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

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim will be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable, but in any event within 14 days (or sooner if the nature of the claim so requires) after receipt of actual knowledge of such claim; provided that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim will not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party will have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such specified claim will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee will, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

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

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

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

4.7 Right of Contribution.

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

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

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

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV will be cumulative and will not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

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

4.11 Coordination with Ancillary Agreements.

(a) The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.10 and Sections 4.12 through 4.13 will not apply with respect to Taxes or Tax matters (including the control of Tax related proceedings), which will be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement will prevail.

(b) The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.10 and Sections 4.12 through 4.13 will not apply with respect to employees or employee benefits matters, which will be governed exclusively by the Employee Matters Agreement. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Employee Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Employee Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement will prevail.

4.12 Management of Certain Actions. This Section 4.12 will govern the direction of certain pending and future Actions in which members of the SpinCo Group or the RemainCo Group are named as parties, but will not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II or the rights and obligations under Section 4.5 unless expressly set forth in this Section 4.12.

(a) Management of SpinCo Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the SpinCo Group will direct the defense or prosecution of any Actions that constitute only SpinCo Liabilities or SpinCo Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely a SpinCo Liability or a SpinCo Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the RemainCo Group as a party thereto, then SpinCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the RemainCo Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No Party will add any other Party (or any other member of such other Party’s Group) to any Action contemplated by this Section 4.12(a) pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of such other Party.

(b) Management of RemainCo Actions.

(i) From and after the Effective Time, the RemainCo Group will direct the defense or prosecution of any Actions that constitute only RemainCo Liabilities or RemainCo Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely a RemainCo Liability or a RemainCo Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the SpinCo Group as a party thereto, then Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the SpinCo Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No Party will add any other Party (or any other Member of such other Party’s Group) to any Action contemplated by this Section 4.12(b) pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of such other Party.

(ii) From and after the Effective Time, the RemainCo Group will direct, and will have full and exclusive authority with respect to, the defense, prosecution, compromise or settlement (which authority shall include, and shall not limit, the ability of an indemnifying Third Party to conduct or direct the defense or prosecution on its own and at its own expense consistent with any agreement containing the relevant indemnification obligation) of the Actions specified on Schedule 4.12(b)(ii) (the “RemainCo Specified Actions”). In connection with the RemainCo Group’s defense, prosecution, compromise or settlement of any RemainCo Specified Action, SpinCo will, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, (A) make available to Parent, upon reasonable prior written request (1) the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of the SpinCo Group as witnesses during normal business hours, and (2) any books, records or other documents within the SpinCo Group’s control or which the SpinCo Group has the ability to make available, in each case to the extent that such person, books, records or other documents are reasonably required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise of such RemainCo Specified Action subject, in the case of confidential information, to the execution of a confidentiality agreement customary for similar situations and, in the case of privileged information, to the execution of a joint defense or other similar agreement intended to preserve the privilege, (B) execute such further instruments or documents as are reasonably necessary in connection with such defense, prosecution, compromise or settlement of such RemainCo Specified Action, and (C) otherwise cooperate as is reasonably necessary in such defense,

prosecution, settlement or compromise of such RemainCo Specified Action; provided, in each case, that such execution or cooperation does not, in connection with the defense, prosecution, compromise or settlement of such RemainCo Specified Action, result in (x) any monetary remedy or relief to a Third Party for which any member of the SpinCo Group would be liable that is not indemnified by Parent or a Third Party or is not otherwise covered by insurance, or (y) without the prior written consent of SpinCo (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of the SpinCo Group (or any such member’s respective past, present or future directors, officers, employees, other personnel or agents).

(c) Management of Mixed Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the Parties will jointly manage (whether as co-defendants or co-plaintiffs) any (i) any other Action that constitutes both a SpinCo Liability and a RemainCo Liability and (ii) any other Action that constitutes both a SpinCo Asset and a RemainCo Asset (clauses (i) to (ii), the “Mixed Actions”). The Parties will 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 Parent, SpinCo and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to Mixed Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel will be shared equally by Parent, on the one hand, and SpinCo, on the other hand) 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 Parent, on the one hand, and SpinCo, on the other hand, will share equally discovery and other joint litigation costs. In any Mixed Action, each of Parent and SpinCo may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the RemainCo Business or the SpinCo Business, respectively; provided that each Party will 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 will endeavor in good faith to allocate the Liabilities in respect of such judgment between them based on the RemainCo Business and the SpinCo Business, and otherwise will share equally such Liabilities; and (ii) if a recovery is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Parties will endeavor in good faith to allocate the Assets in respect of such recovery between them based on their respective injuries, and otherwise will share equally such Assets. A Party (or another member of its Group) that is not named as a defendant in a Mixed Action may elect to become a party to such Mixed Action, and the Party (or other member of its Group) named in such Mixed Action will reasonably cooperate to have such first Party (or other member of its Group) 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 member of a Party’s Group 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 will satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. Each of the Parties and each of the other members of its Group will execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

4.13 Settlement of Actions. Except with respect to the RemainCo Specified Actions, no Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 4.12 will 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 remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of such other Party’s Group (or any of such Group’s respective past, present or future directors, officers, employees, other personnel or agents). Parent will have full and exclusive authority to settle or compromise any RemainCo Specified Action (which authority shall include, and shall not limit, the ability of an indemnifying Third Party to settle or compromise any RemainCo Specified Action consistent with any agreement containing the relevant indemnification obligation) without the prior written consent of SpinCo and SpinCo will execute or procure that the relevant member(s) of its Group execute such instruments as are reasonably necessary to effect such authority to settle or compromise such RemainCo Specified Action; provided that, such settlement or compromise does not result in (a) any monetary remedy or relief to a Third Party for which any member of the SpinCo Group would be liable that is not indemnified by Parent or a Third Party or is not otherwise covered by insurance or (b) without the prior written consent of SpinCo (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditions or delayed), any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of the SpinCo Group (or any such member’s respective past, present or future directors, officers, employees, other personnel or agents). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent understands and agrees that nothing contained in Section 4.12(b) or this Section 4.13 will relieve Parent of its indemnification obligations under Section 4.3.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to either obtain separate insurance policies for SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group or ensure that SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group are named insureds under existing insurance policies covering SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group (it being understood that SpinCo will be responsible for all premiums, costs and fees associated with any insurance policies covering SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), whether paid directly to any insurance provider or as reimbursement to Parent for amounts expended by it for such policies). At the Effective Time, the SpinCo Group will have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with the contractual obligations of the SpinCo Group and such other insurance policies required by applicable Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to the SpinCo Business.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liabilities incurred by any member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time, Parent will provide such member of the SpinCo Group with access to, and such member of the SpinCo Group may, upon ten days’ prior notice to Parent, make claims under the insurance policies of any member of the RemainCo Group in place prior to the Effective Time, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for such member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time; provided that, such access to, and the right to make claims under, the insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) SpinCo shall report any claim to Parent, as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with Parent’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by Parent to SpinCo in writing);

(ii) SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither Parent nor any members of the RemainCo Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group for) and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Parent and the other members of the RemainCo Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees and expenses to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group under any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), including indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by members of the SpinCo Group, its employees or a Third Party; and

(iii) SpinCo shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither Parent nor any members of the RemainCo Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group for) all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b) (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit any other right of SpinCo for payment or indemnification under this Agreement).

(c) Neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of any member of the RemainCo Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Parent or any member of the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Parent or any member of the RemainCo Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Parent or any member of the RemainCo Group under the applicable insurance policy.

(d) Parent shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies, notwithstanding whether any such policies apply to any SpinCo Liabilities or claims any member of the SpinCo Group has made or could make in the future, and no member of the SpinCo Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Parent’s insurers with respect to any of the RemainCo Group’s insurance policies, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies on behalf of the RemainCo Group. SpinCo shall cooperate with Parent and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. Neither Parent nor any of the members of the RemainCo Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any liability policies of Parent or any member of the RemainCo Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the SpinCo Group incurred prior to the Effective Time, and neither Parent nor any of the members of the RemainCo Group shall have any obligation to obtain new insurance policies.

(e) SpinCo does hereby, for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, agree that no member of the RemainCo Group will have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of Parent and the other members of the RemainCo Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.2 Payments and Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount payable or reimbursable by one Party to another Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be paid within 30 days after the receipt of an invoice therefor by the Party responsible for such payment from the other Party. Any such amount not paid by such due date will accrue interest from and including the date immediately following such due date through and including the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.0% (compounded monthly). Such rate will be redetermined as of the first business day of each calendar quarter following such due date. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due. If any Party incurs costs to enforce such payment or reimbursement obligations of the other Party, the Party against whom such enforcement was sought shall indemnify and hold harmless the Party seeking such enforcement for the costs of such enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

5.3 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, Parent (and the other members of the RemainCo Group) will be independent of SpinCo (and the other members of the SpinCo Group), and SpinCo (and the other members of the SpinCo Group) will be independent of Parent (and the other members of the RemainCo Group), in each case with responsibility for its own

respective actions and inactions and its own respective Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party will and will cause the other members of its Group to (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party (or the other members of its Group).

ARTICLE VI

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to Section 6.10, any other applicable confidentiality obligations, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, each of Parent and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each other member of its respective Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the other members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or any other member of such Party’s Group to the requesting Party or other member of such Party’s Group to the extent that (i) such information relates to the SpinCo Business, or any SpinCo Asset or SpinCo Liability, if SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group is the requesting Party, or to the RemainCo Business, or any RemainCo Asset or RemainCo Liability, if Parent or any other member of the RemainCo Group is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Investment Agreement; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party or any other member of such Party’s Group to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, if the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to it or any other member of its Group, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Any Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 will only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event will such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 will expand the obligations of a Party under Section 6.4.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1(a), until the end of the SpinCo fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), each Party will 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 any management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting required by applicable Law; and (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws.

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.8 will not affect the ownership of such information (which will be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. Any Party requesting information pursuant to this Article VI agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the Investment Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, such costs will be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures as may be provided to the other Party from time to time.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, each of the Parties agrees to use (and to cause the other members of its respective Group to use) commercially reasonable efforts, which will be no less rigorous than those used for retention of such Party’s own information, to retain all information in their respective possession or control on the Effective Time until the latest of (a) the date such information is required to be retained under Parent’s applicable record retention policy as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) the date such information is required to be retained by applicable Law, and (c) the concluding date for such information to be retained pursuant to any pending action or governmental investigation.

6.5 Limitations of Liability. Neither Party will have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Party providing such information. No Party will have any Liability to any other Party if any information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or the Investment Agreement.

6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

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

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party will make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its Group’s control or which its Group otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, and will otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, except in the case of an adversarial Action or Dispute between Parent and SpinCo or any other members of their respective Groups, the Parties will cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

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

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

6.8 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the RemainCo Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the RemainCo Group and the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Xxxxx Day, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP and in-house counsel of RemainCo do not represent SpinCo in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and that (i) any advice given by or communications with Xxxxx Day or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP will not be subject to any joint privilege and will be owned solely by Parent or one or more directors of Parent, as the case may be and (ii) any advice given by or communications with in-house counsel of Parent (in each case to the extent that it relates to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) will not be subject to any joint privilege and will be owned solely by Parent.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) Parent will be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the RemainCo Business and not to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the RemainCo Group or any member of the SpinCo Group. Parent will also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any RemainCo 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 RemainCo Group or any member of the SpinCo Group; and

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

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information will be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information will be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information until such time as it is finally determined by an arbitrator or by a court of competent jurisdiction that such information is not Privileged Information, unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties will use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any Disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the RemainCo Business, solely to the SpinCo Business, or to both the RemainCo Business and the SpinCo Business.

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

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

(e) Subject to Section 6.9, in the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between Parent and SpinCo, or any other members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.9(c); provided that such waiver of a shared privilege will be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action or Dispute between the Parties or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and will not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

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

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreements of Parent and SpinCo set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that 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, will not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

(h) The Parties acknowledge that members of the RemainCo Group and members of the SpinCo 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 any outside counsel that represented Parent 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 (or any members of such Party’s Group) in any matter, including matters in which members of the RemainCo Group and members of the SpinCo Group are adverse and Disputes relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) all current and future rights to seek disqualification, whether based on the possession or disclosure of confidential information or otherwise, of any such outside counsel from any representation of their respective clients or either Party (or any members of such Party’s Group) in any matter, including matters in which members of the RemainCo Group and members of the SpinCo Group are adverse and Disputes relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

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

6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10, any Ancillary Agreement and any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, from and after the Effective Time until the five-year anniversary of the Effective Time, each of the Parties will, and will cause each other member of its respective Group to, and will cause its and their respective Representatives to, hold in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Parent’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any other member of the other Party’s respective Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by the other Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or its or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and not use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as will be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, (ii) lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of any other Party or any other member of such Party’s Group. If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any other member of such Party’s Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any other member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information will be used only as required to perform such services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to any proprietary or confidential information of any member of the other Group if they exercise the same degree of care (but not less than a reasonable degree of care) as they exercise to preserve confidentiality for their own similar proprietary or confidential information.

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

all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information in accordance with applicable Laws and such that the information is no longer decipherable or Personal Information contained therein identifiable (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

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

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

demand (or other member of such Party’s Group) may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) will promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Any Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (a “Dispute”) will provide written notice thereof to the other Party (an “Initial Notice”). For a period of 30 days following the delivery of an Initial Notice, the Parties will attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations will be conducted by the appropriate executives of each Party who have authority to resolve the Dispute. All such negotiations will be confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the delivery of the Initial Notice (which period may be extended by written agreement of the Parties) or if a Party reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by this Section 7.1, the Dispute will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.2.

7.2 Confidential Arbitration. In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved pursuant to Section 7.1, then such Dispute will, at the written request of Parent or SpinCo (the “Arbitration Request”) be referred to and finally resolved by binding confidential (subject to Section 6.10) arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (the “Administered Rules”) for the time being in force (which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section 7.2), except as modified herein. The details of the arbitration will be as set forth in this Section 7.2. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.2 will be decided by a panel of three arbitrators. The panel of three arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within 15 days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, Parent and SpinCo will each name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within 30 days from the date on which the second of the two arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that Parent or SpinCo fails to name an arbitrator within 15 days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then, upon written application by Parent or SpinCo, that arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Administered Rules. In the event that the two Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third, independent arbitrator within the time frame specified above or in the event that Parent or SpinCo fails to name an arbitrator within 15 days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Administered Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English. Any document that a Party seeks to use in an arbitration that is not in English will be provided along with an English translation. The seat of arbitration will be Singapore.

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

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

ARTICLE VIII

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1 Further Assurances.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, at and after the Effective Time, each Party will (and will cause each member of its Group to) cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Approvals or Notifications of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the SpinCo Assets and the RemainCo Assets and the assignment and assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities and the RemainCo Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will (and will cause each member of its Group to), at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets transferred or allocated to such Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

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

(d) Nothing in this Article VIII will limit or affect the provisions of Section 3.1(a) or Article IX.

At any time prior to the date that the Form 20-F shall have been declared effective by the SEC, Parent and SpinCo may agree in writing to amend or modify any of the Schedules to this Agreement or the Schedules to the Transition Services Agreement, in each case, if such modification is (a) an Approved Modification (as defined in the Investment Agreement) or (b) reasonably required to maintain the Tax-Free Status (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) of the Distribution and not materially adverse to SpinCo or the SpinCo Business.

ARTICLE IX

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements may be terminated by Parent at any time following the termination of the Investment Agreement in accordance with its terms without the approval or consent of SpinCo. After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parties.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements will become void and no Party (nor any of its Affiliates, directors, officers or employees) will have any Liability or further obligation to the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) by reason of this Agreement.

Any assignment or delegation requiring the prior written consent of the other Party or Investor pursuant to this Section 10.4 that is made without such consent will be void ab initio.

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

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

10.12 Waivers of Default; Remedies Cumulative. Waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor will it prejudice the rights of another Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Investment Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any waiver by SpinCo of any default by Parent of any provision of this Agreement shall be subject to the prior written consent of Investor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.13 Specific Performance.

The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

No provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification; provided that,
