(a) Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, in the case of any material Tax Returns, to the extent not previously filed, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of each such Tax Return (reduced to fifteen (15) days for state or local Tax Returns), the Responsible Company shall make available or cause to be made available drafts of such Tax Return (together with all related work papers) to the other Company.

Subject to the preceding sentence, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Tax Returns (reduced to ten (10) days for state or local Tax Returns), the other Company shall have a right to object to such Tax Return (or items with respect thereto) by written notice to the Responsible Company; such written notice shall contain such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. For purposes of this Section 3.06(a), a Tax Return is “material” with respect to a Company who is not the Responsible Company if it could reasonably be expected to reflect, with respect to such Company, (A) Tax liability equal to or in excess of twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), (B) a credit or credits equal to or in excess of twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), or (C) a loss or losses equal to or in excess of twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000).

(b) With respect to a Tax Return submitted by the Responsible Company to the other Company pursuant to Section 3.06(a), if the other Company does not object by proper written notice described in Section 3.06(a), such Tax Return shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and to be final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 3.06(b). If a Company does object by proper written notice described in Section 3.06(a), the Companies shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that,

- 16 -

(c) In the event a Tax Return is filed that includes any disputed item for which proper notice was given pursuant to Section 3.06(a) that was not finally resolved and agreed upon, such disputed item (or items) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14. In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) in accordance with Section 14 with respect to a Tax Return is inconsistent with such Tax Return as filed, the Responsible Company (with cooperation from the other Company) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such Tax Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items). In the event that the amount of Taxes shown to be due and owing on a Tax Return is adjusted as a result of a resolution pursuant to Section 14, proper adjustment shall be made to the amounts previously paid or required to be paid in accordance with Section 4 in a manner that reflects such resolution.

A “Correlative Detriment” is an increase in a Tax of a Party (or its Affiliates) that occurs as a result of the Tax position that is the basis for a claim for Refund by the Claiming Party or for a Final Determination, utilizing the assumptions set forth in the description of HP Full Taxpayer or Enterprise Full Taxpayer, as the case may be.

(iii) Any Refund or portion thereof to which a Claiming Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) that is received or deemed to have been received as described herein by the other Company (or its Affiliates) shall be paid by such other Company to the Claiming Party in immediately available funds in accordance with Section 4. To the extent a Company (or its Affiliates) applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Tax Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such Refund, if received, would have been payable by such Party to the Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.07(a), such Party shall be deemed to have actually received a Refund to the extent thereof on the date on which the overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

- 17 -

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Company that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Affiliates to claim) a Refund shall be liable for any Taxes that become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the Refund claim.

(i) Each of the Companies shall be permitted (but not required) to carry back (or to cause its Affiliates to carry back) a Tax Attribute realized in a Post-Distribution Period or a Straddle Period to a Pre-Distribution Period or a Straddle Period only if such carryback cannot reasonably result in the other Company (or its Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes. If a carryback could reasonably result in the other Company (or its Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes, such carryback shall be permitted only if such Company consents to such carryback.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Company that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Affiliates to claim) a Tax Attribute carryback shall be liable for any Taxes that result from such carryback claim or become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the carryback claim.

(iii) A Company shall be entitled to any Refund that is attributable to, and would not have arisen but for, a carryback of a Tax Attribute by such Company pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 3.07(b).

(iv) A Company shall be entitled to any Tax Benefit of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more actually realized by the other Company or its Affiliates as a result of any carryback of a Tax Attribute by such first Company.

Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, if such amended Tax Return could reasonably result in the other Company becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 4, then such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the consent of such other Company is obtained. The consent of such other Company shall be deemed to be obtained in the event that a Company (or its Affiliate) is required by Law to file an amended Tax Return as a result of an adjustment.

- 18 -

(ii) A Company (or its Affiliate) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Post-Distribution Period shall be permitted to do so without the consent of the other Company.

(iii) A Company that is permitted (or whose Affiliate is permitted) to file an amended Tax Return shall not be relieved of any liability for payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements notwithstanding that the Company consented to the filing of such amended Tax Return giving rise to such liability.

Section 3.08 Apportionment of Tax Attributes. Each Company shall make its own determination as to the existence and the amount of the Tax Attributes to which it or its Affiliates are entitled after the Effective Time; provided, however, that such determination shall be made in a manner that is (a) reasonably consistent with the past practices of the Companies; (b) in accordance with the rules prescribed by applicable Law, including the Code and the Treasury Regulations; (c) consistent with the Tax Opinions/Rulings; and (d) reasonably determined by the Company to minimize the aggregate cash Tax liability of the Companies for all Pre-Distribution Periods and the portion of all Straddle Periods ending on the Distribution Date.

In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to any such Tax Return, the Responsible Company shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax due with respect to such Tax Return required to be paid as a result of such adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination.

The “Maximum Enterprise Pension Tax Benefit” shall equal the amount of the Tax Benefit that would be realized by the Enterprise Group as a result of all Pension Contributions made by one or more members of the HP Group in any taxable year or years following the Distribution, calculated using the assumptions set forth under Enterprise Full Taxpayer.

(b) Within one hundred and twenty (120) Business Days after the due date (including extensions) of the Tax Return for any taxable year, if the Maximum HP Pension Tax Benefit (as defined below) exceeds the amount of payments previously made under this Section 6.03(b) (such excess, the “Available HP Pension Tax Benefit”), HP shall make a payment to Enterprise in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of (x) fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) and (y) the excess of Tax Benefits actually realized by the HP Group for such taxable year and earlier post-Distribution taxable years arising as a result of one or more Pension Contributions made by one or more members of the Enterprise Group following the Distribution, calculated on a “with and without” basis, over amounts previously paid pursuant to this Section 6.03(b), and (ii) the Available HP Pension Tax Benefit. The “Maximum HP Pension Tax Benefit” shall equal the amount of the Tax Benefit that would be realized by the HP Group as a result of all Pension Contributions made by one or more members of the Enterprise Group in any taxable year or years following the Distribution, calculated using the assumptions set forth under HP Full Taxpayer.

(c) For each year in which a Pension Contribution that may result in a payment pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) is made, the Companies shall determine the portion of deductions attributable to the Enterprise Group, on the one hand, and the HP Group, on the other hand, as a result of such Pension Contribution, with any disputes resolved pursuant to Section 14.03. The Companies shall file Tax Returns and otherwise report consistently with such allocation, except to the extent otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(i) take any action or fail to take any action, or permit any member of the HP Group or any member of the Enterprise Group to take any action or fail to take any action, that is inconsistent with any representation or covenant made in the Tax Opinions/Rulings or the Ruling Request; or

- 24 -

Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and Distribution, or (B) the qualification of any Separation Transaction under U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law as wholly or partially tax-free or tax-deferred (including, but not limited to, those transactions described in any of the Tax Opinions/Rulings received with respect to such Separation Transaction);

provided, however, that HP and Enterprise shall be permitted to take such action or one or more actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) through (j) if, prior to taking any such actions, the Party taking the action (the “Acting Party”) shall (1) have received a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS, or a ruling from another Tax Authority that confirms that such action or actions will not result in Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”), in form and substance satisfactory to the other Party (the “Non-Acting Party”) in its discretion, which discretion shall be reasonably exercised in good faith solely to prevent the imposition on the Non-Acting Party, or responsibility for payment by the Non-Acting Party, of Distribution Taxes (which discretion shall include consideration of the reasonableness of any representations made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling) or (2) have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion that confirms that such action or actions will not result in Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Non-Acting Party (including any representations or assumptions that may be included in such Unqualified Tax Opinion), acting reasonably and in good faith solely to prevent the imposition on the Non-Acting Party, or responsibility for payment by the Non-Acting Party, of Distribution Taxes. The Acting Party shall provide a copy of the Post-Distribution Ruling or the Unqualified Tax Opinion described in this paragraph to the Non-Acting Party as soon as practicable prior to taking or failing to take any action set forth in the foregoing clause (a) through (j). The Non-Acting Party’s evaluation of a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. The Acting Party shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse the Non-Acting Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Non-Acting Party may incur in good faith in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

Section 7.02 Liability for Distribution Tax-Related Losses. In the event that Distribution Taxes become due and payable to a Tax Authority pursuant to a Final Determination, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to a Tainting Act, as defined in Section 7.03, of any member of the HP Group (an “HP Tainting Act”), then HP shall be responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses;

(b) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to a Tainting Act, as defined in Section 7.03, of any member of the Enterprise Group (an “Enterprise Tainting Act”), then Enterprise shall be responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses;

(c) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to both a HP Tainting Act and an Enterprise Tainting Act, then responsibility for such Distribution Tax-Related Losses shall be

- 25 -

shared by HP and Enterprise according to relative fault (provided, however, that in the event that Distribution Tax-Related Losses may result both from an action of or with respect to one Company described in Section 7.03(b) and an action of with respect to the other Company not described in Section 7.03(b), the Company undertaking the action described in Section 7.03(b) or with respect to whom such action is undertaken shall bear sole responsibility); and

(d) if such Distribution Taxes are not attributable to a HP Tainting Act or an Enterprise Tainting Act, then responsibility for such Distribution Tax-Related Losses shall be shared fifty percent (50%) by HP and fifty percent (50%) by Enterprise.

Section 7.03 Definition of Tainting Act. For purposes of this Agreement, a Tainting Act is:

(a) any act, or failure or omission to act, by any Company (or any of its Affiliates) following the Distribution that results in any Company (or any of its Affiliates) being responsible for such Distribution Taxes pursuant to a Final Determination, regardless of whether such act or failure to act (i) is covered by a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion, or (ii) occurs during or after the Restricted Period; or

(b) the direct or indirect acquisition of all or a portion of the stock of any Company (or any transaction or series of related transactions that is deemed to be such an acquisition for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) by any means whatsoever by any Person, including pursuant to an issuance of stock by any Company.

Section 8. Cooperation and Reliance.

Section 8.01 Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Companies shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Companies and their Affiliates including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to the other Company and its Affiliates available to such other Company as provided in Section 9.

In the event that a member of the HP Group, on the one hand, or a member of the Enterprise Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer Pricing Adjustment, the Companies shall cooperate pursuant to this Section 8 to seek any competent authority relief that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment.

- 26 -

(b) Any information or documents provided under this Section 8 shall be kept confidential by the Company receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither Company nor any Affiliate shall be required to provide the other Company or any Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information or procedures that relate solely to the first Company, the business or assets of the first Company or any of its Affiliates and (ii) in no event shall any Company or its Affiliates be required to provide the other Company, any of the other Company’s Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that a Company determines that the provision of any information to the other Company or an Affiliate of the other Company could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 8 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 8.02 Income Tax Return Information. Enterprise and HP acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by HP or Enterprise pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02. Enterprise and HP acknowledge that failure to conform to the deadlines set forth herein or reasonable deadlines otherwise set by HP or Enterprise could cause irreparable harm. Each Company shall provide to the other Company information and documents relating to its Group required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and in sufficient time for the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 8.03 Reliance by HP. If any member of the Enterprise Group supplies information to a member of the HP Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the HP Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the HP Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Enterprise (or any officer of Enterprise as designated by the chief financial officer of Enterprise) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Enterprise.

- 27 -

Section 8.05 Nonperformance. If a Company (or any of its Affiliates) fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Section 8 upon reasonable request and notice by the other Company (or any of its Affiliates) and such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes, the nonperforming party shall be liable in full for such additional Taxes.

Section 8.06 Costs. Each Company shall devote the personnel and resources necessary in order to carry out this Section 8 and shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each Company shall carry out its responsibilities under this Section 8 charging to the other only the out-of-pocket costs actually incurred or as otherwise provided in the TSA.

Section 9. Tax Records.

Section 9.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and HP shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 90 Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 9 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Company agrees, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 90 Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 90-day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Company determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such Company may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon 90 Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company and the other Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such 90-day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 9.02 Access to Tax Records. The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement (or Tax

- 28 -

items under the Foreign Separation Agreements). To the extent any Tax Records are required to be or are otherwise transferred by the Companies or their respective Affiliates to any person other than an Affiliate, the Company or its respective Affiliate shall transfer such records to the other Company at such time.

Section 10. Tax Contests.

Section 10.01 Notice. Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for which it is indemnified by the other Company hereunder or under the Foreign Separation Agreements. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder or under the Foreign Separation Agreements and such party fails to give the indemnifying party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Tax liability or any other Taxes arising from such failure, and (ii) if the indemnifying party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying party, then any amount which the indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 10.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return, the Company that would be primarily liable under applicable Law to pay the applicable Tax Authority the Taxes resulting from such Tax Contest shall administer and control such Tax Contest.

(b) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party must obtain the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party prior to contesting, litigating, compromising or settling any Tax Contest related to an adjustment which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment under Section 4 (or any payment under Section 5). Unless waived by the parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment under Section 4 (or any payment under Section 5) to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or under the Foreign Separation Agreements: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such

- 29 -

Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party (including, without limitation, regarding the use of outside advisors to assist with the Tax Contest) and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in Section 10.02(a) or (b), “Controlling Party” means the Company entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “Non-Controlling Party” means the other Company.

(c) Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment (or any payment under Section 5) to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or under the Foreign Separation Agreements. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 10.02(c) to the Non- Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(d) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Enterprise Group shall execute and deliver to HP (or such member of the HP Group as HP shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by HP (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which HP is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 10. Each member of the HP Group shall execute and deliver to Enterprise (or such member of the Enterprise Group as Enterprise shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Enterprise (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Enterprise is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 10.

(e) Costs. All external out-of-pocket costs and expenses that are incurred by the Controlling Party with respect to a Tax Contest related to an adjustment which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment under Section 4 (or any payment under Section 5) shall be shared by the Companies according to each Company’s relative share of the potential Tax liability with respect to the Tax

- 30 -

Contest as determined under this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements; provided, however, that a Non-Controlling Party shall not be liable for fees payable to outside advisors to the extent that the Controlling Party failed to consult with the Non-Controlling Party pursuant to Section 10.02(b) hereof. If the Controlling Party incurs out-of-pocket costs and expenses to be shared under this Section 10.02(e) during a fiscal quarter, such Controlling Party shall provide notice to the Non-Controlling Party within thirty (30) days after the end of such fiscal quarter for the amount due from such Non-Controlling Party pursuant to this Section 10.02(e), describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Such Non-Controlling Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice to respond thereto. Unless the Non-Controlling Party disputes the amount it is liable for under this Section 10.02(e), the Non-Controlling Party shall reimburse the Controlling Party within forty-five (45) Business Days of delivery by the Controlling Party of the notice described above. To the extent the Non-Controlling Party does not agree with the amount the Controlling Party claims the Non-Controlling Party is liable for under this Section 10.02(e), the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14. Any reimbursement shall include interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the end of the relevant fiscal quarter to the date of reimbursement under this Section 10.02(e). During the first month of each fiscal quarter in which it expects to incur costs for which reimbursement may be sought under this Section 10.02(e), the Controlling Party will provide the Non-Controlling Party with a good faith estimate of such costs.

Section 11. Effective Date; Termination of Prior Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, (i) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements shall be terminated, and (ii) amounts due under such agreements as of the date hereof shall be settled as of the date hereof. Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to HP or by or to Enterprise, with respect to such agreements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements between the Companies and their Affiliates shall cease at such time. Any payments pursuant to such agreements shall be disregarded for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement; provided that to the extent appropriate, as determined by HP, payments made pursuant to such agreements shall be credited to Enterprise or HP, respectively, in computing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in the event that such payments relate to a Tax liability that is the subject matter of this Agreement for a Tax Period that is the subject matter of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11 shall not apply to the Foreign Separation Agreements.

Section 12. Survival of Obligations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

Section 13. Treatment of Payments; Tax Gross Up.

Section 13.01 Treatment of Tax Indemnity and Tax Benefit Payments. In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law,

(a) any Tax indemnity payments made by a Company under Section 4 shall be treated for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment

- 31 -

does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability, and

(b) any Tax Benefit payments made by a Company under Section 5, shall be treated for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability.

Section 13.02 Tax Gross Up. If notwithstanding the manner in which Tax indemnity payments and Tax Benefit payments were reported, there is an adjustment to the Tax liability of a Company as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Foreign Separation Agreements (disregarding for these purposes any such adjustment which arises solely as a result of a failure of the recipient Company to distribute such payment in the manner described in Section 361(b)(1)(A)) such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by fifty percent (50%) of the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent such Tax indemnity payment is made as a result of a Company’s breach of any covenant in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Transaction Document or as a result of a Distribution Tax-Related Loss for which a Company is solely responsible under Section 7, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 13.03 Interest Under This Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company (“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Company (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee.

Section 14. Disagreements.

Section 14.01 Discussion. The Companies mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement

- 32 -

or the Foreign Separation Agreements, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Dispute”) between any member of the HP Group and any member of the Enterprise Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder or under the Foreign Separation Agreements (to the extent related to Taxes), the Tax departments of the Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.

Section 14.02 Escalation. If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Dispute, then the matter, upon written request of either Company, will be referred for resolution to representatives of the parties at a senior level of management of the parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 14.03 Referral to Tax Advisor for Computational Disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14, with respect to any Dispute involving computational matters, if the Companies are not able to resolve the Dispute through the discussion process set forth in Section 14.01, then the Companies shall not refer the dispute to the escalation process set forth in Section 14.02, but rather the Dispute will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. In the event that the Companies are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor within fifteen (15) Business Days following the completion of the discussion process, the Companies shall each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized law or accounting firm (each, a “Preliminary Tax Advisor”), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall jointly select a Tax Advisor on behalf of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax Advisor deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the Companies of its resolution of any such Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than thirty (30) Business Days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be conclusive and binding on the Companies. Following receipt of the Tax Advisor’s written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the Dispute, the Companies shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Company shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Companies.

Section 14.04 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Section 14 will prevent either Company from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Dispute through the process set forth above could result in serious and irreparable injury to either Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, HP and Enterprise are the only members of their respective Group entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of HP and Enterprise will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such party as provided in this Section 14.

Section 15. Late Payments. Any amount owed by one party to another party under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent,

- 33 -

compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this Section 15 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Section 15 or the interest rate provided under such other provision.

Section 16. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.
