WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that each of the contributions of Assets to, and the Assumption of Liabilities by, Forestar and Guaranty, together with the corresponding distributions of all of the Forestar Common Stock and the Guaranty Common Stock, respectively, qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

(ii) the existence or scope of the obligation of Forestar, Guaranty or Temple-Inland or any of their respective Affiliates as of the Relevant Time with respect to such Liability was not acknowledged, fixed or determined due to a dispute or other uncertainty as of the Relevant Time or as a result of the failure of such Liability to have been discovered or asserted as of the Relevant Time (it being understood that the existence of any Action pending, threatened or contemplated or other reserve for accounting purposes as of the Relevant Time with respect to any Liability shall not be sufficient for such Liability to be considered acknowledged, fixed or determined).

(26) “Contract” shall mean any agreement, license, contract, obligation, indenture, instrument, lease, promise, arrangement, release, warranty, commitment or undertaking (whether written or oral and whether express or implied).

Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member of the Temple-Inland Group, Forestar Group, or the Guaranty Group, as the case may be, entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of the Transfer of any Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.7(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement as promptly as practical after the receipt of such Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or absence or satisfaction of such conditions.

(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party or Parties (or relevant member of its Group or their Groups), as the case may be, entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party or Parties (or relevant member of its Group or their Groups) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(d) On and prior to the 24 month anniversary of the applicable Relevant Time, if any Party determines that it (or any member of its Group) owns any Asset that, although not Transferred pursuant to this Agreement, was allocated by the terms of this Agreement to another Party, or that is agreed by such Party and the other Party in their good faith judgment to be an Asset that more properly belongs to the other Party (other than (for the avoidance of doubt), as between any two Parties, for any Asset acquired from an unaffiliated third party by a Party or member of such Party’s Group following the applicable Relevant Time), then the Party owning such Asset shall Transfer, or shall cause any such Asset to be Transferred, to the applicable Party (or relevant member of its Group) identified as the appropriate transferee and following such Transfer, such Asset shall be a Real Estate Asset, Financial Services Asset or Retained Asset, as the case may be. In connection with such Transfer, the receiving party shall Assume all Liabilities related to such Asset. Following the 24 month anniversary of the applicable Relevant Time, no Party (or relevant member of its Group) shall be obligated to Transfer any newly recognized Asset that would, had such Asset been recognized at the applicable Relevant Time, have been Transferred to the other applicable Party (or relevant member of its Group).

(e) After the Relevant Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Relevant Time, each Party authorizes the other applicable Party (or any member of its Group) to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party (or any member of its Group) and not unambiguously intended for such first Party, any member of such first Party’s Group or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or other agents, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both Businesses, copies thereof) to the other applicable Party as provided for in Section 11.6 (Notices). The provisions of this Section 2.7(e) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party (or any member of its Group) to permit the other to accept service of process on its (or its members’) behalf and no Party (or any member of its Group) is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party (or any member of its Group) for service of process purposes.

Section 2.8 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the acceptance and Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or prior to the Relevant Time, by the appropriate entities, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party (or any member of its Group) of its Assumed Liabilities, and the valid Transfer to the applicable Party (or member of such Party’s Group) of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets, including the Transfer of real property with special warranty deeds, as may be appropriate.

Section 2.9 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, including Section 2.7, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and will cause the relevant member of its Group to use) commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall cooperate with the other Parties, from and after the Effective Time, without any further consideration, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer and title and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, any permit, Contract, 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 any 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 applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party such title as possessed by the Transferring Party to the Assets allocated to

such other 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.

Section 2.10 Novation of Liabilities.

(a) With respect to a Liability for which a Party, including its Subsidiaries, is not responsible under this Agreement after the Relevant Time, but for which a Party or one or more of its Subsidiaries continues to be liable to a third party after the Relevant Time, that Party may request the Party responsible under this Agreement for the Liability to take actions after the Relevant Time to relieve the requesting Party from such Liability. Upon any such request, the responsible Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts either:

(i) to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Consent, release, transfer, substitutions or novations required for such Liability to become solely the Liability of the responsible Party or one of its respective Subsidiaries; or

(ii) to obtain an unconditional release from Liability for the requesting Party and/or its relevant Subsidiaries.

The Responsible Party or Parties are not required by this provision to pay any money or other consideration to relieve the requesting Party from the Liability unless the Requesting Party agrees to reimburse the responsible Party in full upon or prior to the payment.

(b) If the responsible Party is unable to relieve the requesting Party and any of its relevant Subsidiaries from a Liability in compliance with Section 2.10(a), the Party who Assumed or retained such Liability (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries, to pay, perform, discharge or otherwise satisfy in full the Liability, unless not permitted to do so by Law or Contract. As required to satisfy the Liability and not otherwise prohibited, the Liable Party may act as an agent or subcontractor for the requesting Party in order to relieve the requesting Party from the Liability. This provision does not relieve the requesting Party from the Liability. This provision does not require the requesting Party to extend, renew or otherwise cause a Contract or other Liability to remain in effect beyond the term in effect as of the Relevant Time. Each other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or any of its Subsidiaries responsible for the Liability, all money, rights and other consideration received by the Party or its Subsidiaries in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such other Party or one of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, release, substitution, amendment or release of the Liability shall be obtained, or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations giving rise to the Liability shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the other Party shall promptly Transfer, or cause to be Transferred, all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of any of it or its Subsidiaries to the Liable Party or to one of its Subsidiaries if requested to do so without payment of any further consideration, and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities.

Section 2.11 Guarantees.

(a) Forestar shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the other applicable Party and the other members of such other Party’s Group) use its commercially reasonable efforts, if so requested by such other Party, to have any member of the other Party’s Group removed as guarantor of, or obligor for, any Real Estate Liability, including in respect of those guarantees listed or described on Schedule 2.11(a).

such guarantor or obligor to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party’s Indemnitees against any Indemnifiable Loss arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VII.

(h) Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Groups to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate or to assist the other Party in evaluating any guarantee required to be so evaluated by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Legal Names and Other Parties’ Trademarks.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable after the applicable Relevant Time but in any event within six months thereafter, each Party shall cease (and shall cause all of the other members of its Group to cease) (i) making any use of any names or Trademarks that include (A) any of the Trademarks of any other Parties or such other Parties’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, in the case of Forestar and Guaranty, “Temple-Inland” or “Temple-Inland Inc.”) and (B) any names or Trademarks

related thereto, including any names or Trademarks confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof (with respect to each Party, such Trademarks of the other Parties and their Affiliates, the “Other Party Marks”), and (ii) holding themselves out as having any affiliation with any of the other Parties or such Parties’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Party or any member of a Party’s Group from (1) stating in any advertising or any other communication that it is formerly a Temple-Inland affiliate or otherwise describing its historical relationships with Temple-Inland, the other Party and their respective Subsidiaries or (2) making use of any Other Party Xxxx in a manner that would constitute “fair use” under applicable Law if any unaffiliated third party made such use or would otherwise be legally permissible for any unaffiliated third party without the Consent of the Party owning such Other Party Xxxx. In furtherance of the foregoing, as soon as practicable but in no event later than six months following the applicable Relevant Time, each Party and the members of each Party’s Group shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Other Party Marks from all of such Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ assets and other materials, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems. Any use by any of the Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any of the Other Party Marks as permitted in this Section 5.1 is subject to their compliance with the quality control requirements and guidelines in effect for the Other Party Marks as of the Effective Time. No use of the term “Guaranty Bank” shall be made by any Party that violates applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of Section 5.1(a), if any Party or any member of a Party’s Group exercised good faith efforts to comply with Section 5.1(a) but is unable, due to regulatory or other circumstances beyond its control, to effect a legal name change in compliance with applicable Law such that an Other Party Xxxx remains in such Party’s or its Group member’s corporate name, then the relevant Party or its Group member will not be deemed to be in breach hereof if it continues to exercise good faith efforts to effectuate such name change and does effectuate such name change within 12 months after the applicable Relevant Time, and, in such circumstances, such Party or Group member may continue to include in its assets and other materials references to the Other Party Xxxx that is in such Party’s or Group member’s corporate name, which includes references to “Forestar,” “Guaranty,” or “Temple-Inland” as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to identify such Party or Group member and only until such Party’s or Group member’s legal name can be changed to remove and eliminate such references.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of Section 5.1(a), Forestar and Guaranty shall not be required to change any name including the phrase “Temple-Inland” in any third-party contract, lease, indenture or license, or in property records with respect to real or personal property, if an effort to change the name is commercially unreasonable; provided, however, that (i) Forestar and Guaranty on a prospective basis from and after the applicable Relevant Time, shall change the name in any new or amended third-party contract or license or property record and (ii) Forestar and Guaranty shall not advertise or make public any continued use of the “Temple-Inland” name permitted by this Section 5.1(c).

Section 5.2 Auditors and Audits; Annual and Quarterly Financial Statements and Accounting.

(a) Each Party agrees that during the period ending 180 days following the applicable Relevant Time (and with the consent of the other applicable Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, during any period of time after such 180-day period reasonably requested by such requesting Party, so long as there is a reasonable business purpose for such request) and in any event solely with respect to the preparation and audit of each of the Party’s financial statements for any of the fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the printing, filing and public dissemination of such financial statements, the audit of each Party’s internal control over financial reporting and such Party’s management’s assessment thereof, and each Party’s management’s assessment of such Party’s disclosure controls and procedures:

Each Party shall provide or provide access to the other Parties on a timely basis, all information reasonably required to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public dissemination of its annual financial statements and for management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission and, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the Commission’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder (such assessments and audit being referred to as the “2007 Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party will provide all required financial and other information with respect to itself and its Subsidiaries to its auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit its auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to each other Parties’ auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in such other Parties’ annual financial statements and to permit such other Party’s auditors and management to complete the 2007 Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments.

(ii) Access to Personnel and Records. Each audited Party shall authorize, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its respective auditors to make available to each other Parties’ auditors (each such other Parties’ auditors, collectively, the “Other Parties’ Auditors”) both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of such audited Party (each such Party with respect to its own audit, the “Audited Party”) and work papers related to the annual audits of such Audited Party, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Audited Party’s auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Parties’ Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Audited Party’s auditors as it relates to their auditors’ report on such other Party’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of its annual financial statements. Each Party shall make available to the Other Parties’ Auditors and management its personnel and Records in a reasonable time prior to the Other Parties’ Auditors’ opinion date and other Parties’ management’s assessment date so that the Other Parties’ Auditors and other Parties’ management are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to conduct the 2007 Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments.

(b) Amended Financial Reports. In the event a Party restates any of its financial statements that includes such Party’s audited or unaudited financial statements with respect to any balance sheet date or period of operation as of the end of and for the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, such Party will deliver to the other Parties a substantially final draft, as soon as the same is prepared, of any report to be filed by such first Party with the Commission that includes such restated audited or unaudited financial statements (the “Amended Financial Report”); provided, however, that such first Party may continue to revise its Amended Financial Report prior to its filing thereof with the Commission, which changes will be delivered to the other Parties as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, further, however, that such first Party’s financial personnel will actively consult with the other Parties’ financial personnel regarding any changes which such first Party may consider making to its Amended Financial Report and related disclosures prior to the anticipated filing of such report with the Commission, with particular focus on any changes which would have an effect upon the other Party’s financial statements or related disclosures. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with, and permit and make any necessary employees available to, the other Parties, in connection with the other Parties’ preparation of any Amended Financial Reports.

(c) Financials; Outside Auditors. If any Party or member of its respective Group is required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission or otherwise, to include in its Exchange Act filings audited financial statements or other information of any other Party or member of the other Party’s Group, the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to provide such audited financial statements or other information, and (ii) to cause its outside auditors to consent to the inclusion of such audited financial statements or other information in the Party’s Exchange Act filings.

(d) Third Party Agreements. Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 5.2 to disclose any such information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information.

Section 5.3 No Restrictions on Post-Closing Competitive Activities; Corporate Opportunities.

(a) Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement shall not include any non-competition or other similar restrictive arrangements with respect to the range of business activities that may be conducted by the Parties. Accordingly, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to create any explicit or implied restriction or other limitation on (i) the ability of any Party hereto to engage in any business or other activity that competes with the business of any other Party, or (ii) the ability of any Party to engage in any specific line of business or engage in any business activity in any specific geographic area. Except as expressly provided in Section 5.3 hereof or in any Xxxxxxxxx

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx and the Temple-Inland Group shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to, (i) engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as Forestar, Guaranty or their respective Groups, (ii) do business with any client or customer of Forestar, Guaranty or their respective Groups, and (iii) employ or otherwise engage any officer or employee of Forestar, Guaranty or their respective Groups, and neither Temple-Inland nor the Temple-Inland Group nor any officer or director thereof, as an officer or director of Temple-Inland or any member of the Temple-Inland Group, shall be liable to Forestar, Guaranty and their respective Groups or their stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of Temple-Inland or the Temple-Inland Group or of such Person’s participation therein.

(b) In the event that Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group and Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, neither Temple-Inland nor any other member of the Temple-Inland Group nor any agent or advisor thereof shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups and shall not be liable to Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Group or to Forestar or Guaranty’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Forestar or Guaranty by reason of the fact that Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not present such corporate opportunity to Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups.

(c) In the event that Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group and Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, neither Forestar, Guaranty nor any other member of their respective Groups nor any agent or advisor thereof shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group and shall not be liable to Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group or to Temple-Inland’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Temple-Inland by reason of the fact that Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not present such corporate opportunity to Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group.

(d) In the event that Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, neither Forestar, Guaranty nor any other member of their respective Groups, as applicable, nor any agent or advisor thereof shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, as applicable, and shall not be liable to Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups or Forestar or Guaranty ‘s stockholders, as applicable, for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Forestar or Guaranty, as applicable, by reason of the fact that Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not present such corporate opportunity to Forestar or Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 5.3, “corporate opportunities” of Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups shall include, but not be limited to, business opportunities that Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups are financially able to undertake, that are, by their nature, in a line of business of Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, including the Real Estate Business and the Financial Services Business, are of practical advantage to them and are ones in which Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group or any of their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups, and “corporate opportunities” of Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group shall include, but not be limited to, business opportunities that Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group are financially able to undertake, that are, by their nature, in a line of business of Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group, including the Retained Business, are of practical advantage to them and are ones in which Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of Forestar, Guaranty or any other member of their respective Groups or any of their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of Temple-Inland or any other member of the Temple-Inland Group.

ARTICLE VI

CONTINGENT GAINS AND LIABILITIES AND UNALLOCATED ASSETS
AND LIABILITIES

Section 6.1 Unallocated Assets and Contingent Gains.

(a) As of the Date of this Agreement, the Parties have identified no Unallocated Assets. There shall be a presumption that any Asset not explicitly addressed in this Agreement or set forth in the Schedules hereto is intended to be a Real Estate Asset, a Financial Services Asset, or a Retained Business Asset. Such presumption may only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Any dispute as to the proper characterization of an Asset not specifically addressed by this Agreement shall be resolved under Section 6.4.

(b) To the extent any benefit is received from any Unallocated Asset, that benefit (net of costs to realize the benefit) shall be shared among the Parties in proportion to their Allocated Percentage, respectively, and shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.3.

(c) As of the Date of this Agreement, all Contingent Gains known to the Parties are identified in Schedules 1.1(39), 1.1(41), and 1.1(43), and such Contingent Gains are either Real Estate Assets, Financial Services Assets or Retained Business Assets, as provided in Section 1.1(121), Section 1.1(47), and Section 1.1(131), respectively.

(d) Pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4, Contingent Gains not specifically addressed by this Agreement shall be referred to the Contingent Claim Committee for determination of whether the Contingent Gain is an Exclusive Forestar Contingent Gain, an Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Gain, an Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Gain, or an Unallocated Asset. There shall be a presumption that any Contingent Gain not explicitly addressed by this Agreement or set forth in the Schedules hereto is intended to be either a Real Estate Asset, a Financial Services Asset, or a Retained Business Asset. Such presumption may only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

(e) Any Contingent Gain determined by the Contingent Claim Committee to be an Exclusive Forestar Contingent Gain shall be a Real Estate Asset, and shall be administered by Forestar, and Forestar shall have the sole right to any benefit therefrom.

(f) Any Contingent Gain determined by the Contingent Claim Committee to be an Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Gain shall be a Financial Services Asset, and shall be administered by Guaranty, and Guaranty shall have the sole right to any benefit therefrom.

(g) Any Contingent Gain determined by the Contingent Claim Committee to be an Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Gain shall be a Retained Business Asset, and shall be administered by Temple-Inland, and Temple-Inland shall have the sole right to any benefit therefrom.

(h) Any Asset or Contingent Gain determined by the Contingent Claim Committee to be an Unallocated Asset shall be administered by Temple-Inland. Temple-Inland shall have sole and exclusive authority to commence, assign, prosecute, settle, manage, control, conduct, waive, forgo, release, discharge, forgive and otherwise determine all matters whatsoever with respect to any Unallocated Asset. As soon as commercially practicable, any Unallocated Asset shall be monetized and the proceeds distributed in accordance with Section 6.1(b). Neither Forestar nor Guaranty shall take, or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to take, any action (including commencing any claim) that would interfere with such rights and powers of Temple-Inland to determine all matters and take all actions with respect to any Unallocated Asset.

(i) Temple-Inland shall notify the other Parties in the event that it commences an Action with respect to an Unallocated Asset; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any rights on the part of the other Parties or against Temple-Inland or affect any other provision of this Section 6.1. Each of Forestar and Guaranty acknowledges (A) that Temple-Inland may elect not to pursue any Action regarding any Unallocated Asset for any reason whatsoever (including a different assessment of the merits of any Action, claim or right than the other Parties might have or any business reasons that are in the best interests of Temple-Inland or a member of the Temple-Inland Group, without regard to the best interests of any other Party or its Subsidiaries), and (B) that no member of the Temple-Inland Group shall have any Liability to any Person (including any other Party or its Subsidiaries) as a result of any such determination.

Section 6.2 Unallocated Liabilities.

(a) As of the Date of this Agreement, the Parties have listed on Schedule 1.1(165)(iii) all Liabilities known to the Parties that they intend to be Unallocated Liabilities. If a

Liability is not explicitly addressed in this Agreement or set forth in the Schedules, the Parties shall be presumed to have intended that the Liability be a Real Estate Liability, a Financial Services Liability or a Retained Business Liability. Such presumption may only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

(b) Each of the Parties shall be responsible for its Allocated Percentage of any Unallocated Liability.

(c) As of the Date of this Agreement, the Parties have listed or described on Schedules 1.1(40), 1.1(42)and 1.1(44), all Contingent Liabilities known to them. Each of those Contingent Liabilities is a Real Estate Liability, a Financial Services Liability or a Retained Business Liability pursuant to Section 1.1(124), Section 1.1(49) and Section 1.1(133), respectively. If a Contingent Liability is not explicitly addressed in this Agreement or set forth in the Schedules, there shall be a presumption that the Parties intended the Contingent Liability to be a Real Estate Liability, a Financial Services Liability or a Retained Business Liability. Such presumption may only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

(d) After the Effective Time, if a Contingent Liability is identified that is not explicitly addressed in the Agreement or set forth in the Schedules, the Contingent Liability shall be referred to the Contingent Claim Committee to determine responsibility for the Contingent Liability pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4.

(e) Except as set forth in Schedule 1.1(164)(iii), Temple-Inland shall assume the defense of, and may seek to settle or compromise, any claim determined by the Contingent Claim Committee pursuant to Section 6.4 to be an Unallocated Liability. The costs and expenses of the defense or liquidation of an Unallocated Liability shall be included in the calculation of the amount of the applicable Unallocated Liability in determining the reimbursement obligations of the other Parties with respect thereto. The Parties shall cooperate in the defense as provided in Section 6.6.

(f) For each of the matters listed or described on Schedule 1.1(164)(iii), to the extent identifiable, the Schedule states the Party that shall be responsible for administering each Contingent Liability that relates to, arises out of or results from that matter. Additionally, the Schedule states any special procedures to be applied in administering or allocating any Unallocated Liability associated with each matter listed or described on that Schedule.

Section 6.3 Payments.

(a) The Party responsible for the administration of an Unallocated Asset or an Unallocated Liability shall be entitled to reimbursement of each other Party’s Allocated Percentage of all costs and expenses incurred in respect of such Unallocated Asset or Unallocated Liability by that Party or a member of its Group. The reimbursable costs and expenses include those costs and expenses incurred in an Action related to an Unallocated Asset or Unallocated Liability and those costs and expenses may be invoiced periodically in advance of a final determination of any such Action. Payment shall be due promptly after the responsible Party submits its invoice for such amount, provided that the Party responsible for administration shall provide reasonable supporting information for an invoice upon a request made within a reasonable time by a Party receiving an invoice.

(b) In the case of any Unallocated Asset, Temple-Inland shall be entitled to retain from the amount of money realized from the Unallocated Assets and otherwise payable to the other Party, each other Party’s respective Allocated Percentage of the costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of any member of the Temple-Inland Group in connection with such Unallocated Assets.

(c) The term “costs and expenses” as used in reference to those costs and expenses that are to be reimbursed to the Party shall be broadly construed to include all costs and expenses incurred and attributable directly or indirectly to either the recovery or liquidation of an Unallocated Asset or to the defense or liquidation of an Unallocated Liability, including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel, expert witness fees, reproduction expenses and the cost of deposition copies (video, electronic and hardcopy). The term “costs and expenses” shall include any cost or expense paid or incurred by or on behalf of any member of the responsible Party’s Group in respect of any such recovery, defense or liquidation.

(d) Any amounts billed and properly payable in accordance with this Section 6.3 that are not paid within 45 days of such xxxx shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) Prime Rate plus 2% per annum or (ii) the maximum contractual rate permitted by Law, from the date of invoice until paid. Adjustments to the interest rate based on the Prime Rate shall be made as of the first Business Day of each week based upon the Prime Rate at the close of the most recent prior Business Day.

Section 6.4 Procedures to Determine Status of Liability or Asset.

(a) As of the Effective Time, the Parties will form a Contingent Claim Committee of three persons comprised of the general counsel or chief legal officer of each of the Parties, or their respective delegates, for the purpose of resolving whether:

(i) any Liability not specifically characterized in this Agreement or its Schedules, whose proper characterization is disputed, is a Real Estate Liability, a Financial Services Liability, a Retained Business Liability, or an Unallocated Liability; or

(ii) any Asset not specifically characterized in this Agreement or its Schedules, whose proper characterization is disputed, is a Real Estate Asset, a Financial Services Asset, a Retained Business Asset, or an Unallocated Asset.

(b) If any Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive notice or otherwise learn of an Asset that may reasonably be determined to be a Contingent Gain or an Unallocated Asset, or the assertion of a Third Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be a Contingent Liability or an Unallocated Liability, not specifically characterized in this Agreement or its Schedules, such Party shall give the other Parties and the Contingent Claim Committee written notice thereof promptly (and in any event within 15 days) after such Person becomes aware of such Asset, Liability or Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Party shall deliver to the Contingent Claim Committee, promptly (and in any event within 10 calendar days) after the Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Party or the member of such Party’s Group relating to the matter.

(c) If a dispute shall arise between any of the Parties or among all of the Parties as to the proper characterization of any Asset or Liability (other than one covered under Section 6.4(b)), then any Party may refer that dispute to the Contingent Claim Committee for resolution in the same manner as is set forth for a Third Party Claim or an Asset or Contingent Gain that may be an Unallocated Asset.

(d) The Contingent Claim Committee’s determination (which shall be made within 30 days of such referral), if unanimous, shall be binding on all of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The good faith determination of any two members of the Contingent Claim Committee shall be binding for the characterization of all Assets or Liabilities concerning less than $100,000 (severally, or for related matters, in the aggregate). For all matters referred to the Contingent Claim Committee that concern $100,000 or more (severally, or for related matters, in the aggregate), if the Contingent Claim Committee cannot reach a unanimous determination as to the characterization of an Asset or Liability within 30 days after referral of the issue such matters shall be submitted for arbitration under the procedures set forth in ARTICLE IX of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Dispute Notice or prior negotiations as set forth in Section 9.1 shall be required. The outcome of the arbitration pursuant to ARTICLE IX shall be final and binding on all Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns.

(e) In resolving, with respect to any Action not specifically addressed in this Agreement (regardless of whether such matters are currently pending but not set forth or are asserted or filed hereafter), whether

(i) any Contingent Gain is an Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Gain, an Exclusive Forestar Contingent Gain, or an Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Gain or an Unallocated Asset, or

(ii) any Contingent Liability is an Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Liability, an Exclusive Forestar Contingent Liability, an Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Liability, or an Unallocated Liability,

the characterization of Contingent Gains and Contingent Liabilities reflected in Schedules 1.1(39), 1.1(40), 1.1(41), 1.1(42), 1.1(43), and 1.1(44), whereby the Parties have assigned existing claims based on whether the claim principally relates to the Retained Business, the Real Estate Business or the Financial Services Business shall be considered and used as a precedential guide.

(f) Temple-Inland may commence prosecution or defense of such matters pending decision of the Contingent Claims Committee (or arbitration decision, if applicable), but shall not be obligated to do so. If Temple-Inland commences any such prosecution or defense and subsequently Forestar or Guaranty is determined hereunder to have the exclusive right or obligation to such claim or right, then, upon the request of Forestar or Guaranty, Temple-Inland shall promptly discontinue the prosecution or defense of such matter and transfer the control thereof to Forestar or Guaranty, as applicable. In such event, Forestar or Guaranty will reimburse Temple-Inland for all costs and expenses incurred prior to resolution of such dispute in the prosecution or defense of such claim or right.

(g) At any time or from time to time prior to the Effective Time, the General Counsel of Temple-Inland, following consultation with the designated person to be the chief legal officers of Forestar and Guaranty, may amend or supplement any of Schedules 1.1(39), 1.1(41), or 1.1(43).

Section 6.5 Certain Case Allocation Matters. The Parties agree that if any Action not listed or described on Schedules 1.1(50)(vi), 1.1(123)(vi) or 1.1(133)(vi) involves separate and distinct claims that, if not joined in a single Action, would constitute separate Liabilities of different Parties, they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to segregate such separate and distinct claims so that the Liabilities associated with each such claim (including all costs and expenses incurred after an agreed segregation of the claims) shall be treated as Liabilities of the appropriate Party and so that each Party shall have the rights and obligations with respect to each such claim (including pursuant to this ARTICLE VI as would have been applicable had such claims been commenced as separate Actions). Unless otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, (a) all costs and expenses associated with such claims and incurred prior to the agreed segregation of the claims shall be shared in accordance with their Allocated Percentages, and (b) this Section 6.5 shall not apply to any separate and distinct claim that is de minimis or frivolous in nature.

Section 6.6 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates two or more Parties in a material fashion due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, such Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for such Parties the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto).

(b) To the extent there are documents, other materials, access to employees or witnesses related to or from a Party that is not responsible for the defense or Liability of a particular Action, such Party shall provide to the other Party or Parties reasonable access to documents, other materials, employees, and shall permit employees, officers and directors to cooperate as witnesses in the defense of such Action.

(c) Each of Temple-Inland, Forestar and Guaranty agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action currently exists or is commenced by a third party with respect to which a Party (or one of its Subsidiaries) is a named defendant, but the defense of such Action and any recovery in such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to that Party, then each other Party (or members of its Group) also named in the Action shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each named Party (or its Subsidiary) not responsible for the Liability to be dismissed as a defendant from such Action, and the Party (or its Subsidiary) without responsibility for the Liability shall not be required to make any payments or contribution to the other Parties in connection therewith and shall be entitled to the full benefit of any indemnification provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(d) In the case of any Action involving a matter contemplated by Section 6.6(c), (i) if there is a conflict of interest that under applicable rules of professional conduct would preclude legal counsel for one Party or one of its Subsidiaries representing another Party or one of its Subsidiaries or (ii) if any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief that would restrict or limit the future conduct of the non-responsible Party or one of its Subsidiaries or such Party’s business or operations of a Party or its Subsidiaries or Ventures, then the non-responsible Party shall be entitled to retain, at its expense, separate legal counsel to represent its interest and to participate in the defense, compromise, or settlement of that portion of the Third Party Claim against that Party or one of its Subsidiaries.

(e) It shall not be a defense to any obligation by any Party to pay any amount in respect of any Unallocated Liability that such Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Unallocated Liability was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of Liability; provided, however, that none of the Parties shall settle an Unallocated Liability in a manner which would restrict or limit the future conduct of another Party’s business or operations (or any of its Subsidiaries or Ventures) without such other Party’s consent.

(f) If served with a citation or other writ or process in a proceeding that may involve a matter to be determined by the Contingent Claim Committee, Forestar or Guaranty (or any member of their respective Groups) shall notify the General Counsel of Temple-Inland promptly and shall take such steps as are required to avoid a failure to answer or otherwise appear or respond timely.

Section 6.7 Responsibility for Third Party Claims; Contribution; Insolvency.

(a) A Party assigned a Contingent Liability as its exclusive liability shall have the sole responsibility and have full power and authority to manage the defense of the claim, including whether to settle, and shall have sole responsibility, as among each Party’s respective Group, for the costs, expenses, Liabilities and judgments associated with the Action, notwithstanding that any member of the Forestar Group (with respect to an Exclusive Forestar Contingent Liability), any member of the Guaranty Group (with respect to an Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Liability), or any member of the Temple-Inland Group (with respect to an Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Liability) may have been named or remained a party defendant to the Action.

(b) Any Party paying an amount of money in excess of its Allocated Percentage of an Unallocated Liability (“Excess Payment”) shall have a right of contribution to recover the Excess Payment severally from the other Parties, with those Parties contributing to the payment of the Excess Payment amount an amount that equals its unpaid Allocated Percentage of the Unallocated Liability. If a Party against whom a right of contribution matures is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they come due or is in bankruptcy or any similar insolvency proceeding (“Insolvent Party”), then any solvent member of the Insolvent Party’s Group shall be obligated to

make the contribution payment due from the Insolvent Party (subject to any limitation imposed by Law). If no member of an Insolvent Party’s Group can pay the Insolvent Party’s Allocated Percentage of an Unallocated Liability in whole or in part, then the other Parties shall pay the unpaid Allocated Percentage in the same proportions that each paying Party’s Allocated Percentage bears to the sum of all paying Parties’ Allocated Percentages.

(c) If a Party responsible for the management of the recovery of a Contingent Gain or the defense of a Contingent Liability becomes an Insolvent Party, the other Parties acting unanimously shall have the right to designate any member of the Insolvent Party’s Group as the Person responsible for the management of the recovery or defense, provided the Person so designated accepts the designation. If no able member of the Insolvent Party’s Group is willing to accept the designation, then the other Parties acting unanimously may delegate one of them (or a member of their respective Group) to be responsible for the recovery of the Contingent Gain or the defense of a Contingent Liability. Failing any such delegation, then Parties (or members of their Group) named as parties in a proceeding where (i) a Contingent Liability is asserted or (ii) a Contingent Gain is a subject of the proceeding, shall be responsible for defending that Contingent Liability or asserting the right to the Contingent Gain or the amount necessary to liquidate the Contingent Gain. Any Person acting as the substitute Party responsible for a defense or a recovery under this Section 6.7(c) shall have the full right of contribution for the defense of Contingent Liabilities and any indemnity provided in this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement and the full right of offset of costs and expenses against recoveries of Contingent Gains provided in this Agreement.

(vi) any Liability that any of the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against any of the other Parties, their Subsidiaries, Related Persons or Ventures by a third party, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of the other sections of this ARTICLE VII and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or

(vii) any Liability of Related Persons to any Party, its Subsidiaries, or their respective Related Persons, for goods, services or property received, purchased or leased, or to be received, purchased or released, or due on a value-received basis for work done or to be done or under any Contract made after the Relevant Time.

Specifically, if an obligation giving rise to such Action is (A) a Retained Business Liability, Temple-Inland shall indemnify the other relevant Party, its Subsidiaries and Related Persons from such Liability, (B) a Real Estate Liability, Forestar shall indemnify the other relevant Party, its Subsidiaries and Related Persons from such Liability, or (C) a Financial Services Liability, Guaranty shall indemnify the other relevant Party, its Subsidiaries and Related Persons from such Liability, in accordance with the other provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII.

(c) Each Party shall not, and shall not permit, to the extent of its power and authority, any Subsidiary or Related Person to make, any claim, demand or offset, or commence any Action asserting any claim, demand or offset, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against any other Party or any member of any other Party’s Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 7.1(a), with respect to any and all Liabilities released pursuant to Section 7.1(a).

(d) It is the intent of each Party, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 7.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Relevant Time, whether known or unknown, between or among any Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective Related Persons, on the one hand, and any other Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective Related Persons, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such Persons on or before the Relevant Time), except as specifically set forth in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b).

(e) If any Subsidiary of a Party or any of such Party’s Related Persons initiates an Action with respect to claims released by this Section 7.1, the Party with which such Person is associated shall indemnify the other Party against such Action in accordance with the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII.

(f) At any time, at the reasonable request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group and to the extent practicable each other Person on whose behalf it releases Liabilities pursuant to this Section 7.1 to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Temple-Inland. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Relevant Time, Temple-Inland shall, and shall cause the other members of the Temple-Inland Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Parties’ Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Retained Business Liabilities (including, as provided in Section 1.1(133), the Exclusive Temple-Inland Contingent Liabilities) or the Temple-Inland Percentage of any Unallocated Liabilities, (ii) (A) the Retained Business Liabilities identified in Section 1.1(133)(iv) and (B) any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the Commission by any member of the Forestar Group or the Guaranty Group, as applicable, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission based upon information that is either furnished to any member of the Forestar Group or the Guaranty Group, as the case may be, by any member of the Temple-Inland Group or incorporated by reference by any member of the Forestar Group or the Guaranty Group, as the case may be, from any filings made by any member of the Temple-Inland Group with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and then, with respect to clause (B), only if that statement or omission was made or occurred after the applicable Relevant Time, or (iii) any breach by Temple-Inland or any member of the Temple-Inland Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate

indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder. The fact another member of the Temple-Inland Group has Assumed a Liability covered by this indemnification shall not limit or preclude Temple-Inland’s obligation with respect to that Liability under this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Indemnification by Forestar. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Relevant Time, Forestar shall, and shall cause the other members of the Forestar Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Parties’ Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Real Estate Liabilities (including, as provided in Section 1.1(123), the Exclusive Forestar Contingent Liabilities) or the Forestar Percentage of any Unallocated Liabilities, (ii) (A) the Real Estate Liabilities identified in Section 1.1(123)(iv) and (B) any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the Commission by any member of the Guaranty Group or the Temple-Inland Group, as applicable, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission based upon information that is either furnished to any member of the Guaranty Group or the Temple-Inland Group, as the case may be, by any member of the Forestar Group or incorporated by reference by any member of the Temple-Inland Group or the Guaranty Group, as the case may be, from any filings made by any member of the Forestar Group with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and then, with respect to clause (B), only if that statement or omission was made or occurred after the applicable Relevant Time, or (iii) any breach by Forestar or any member of the Forestar Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder. The fact that another member of the Real Estate Group has Assumed a liability covered by this indemnification shall not limit or preclude Forestar’s obligation with respect to that liability under this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Indemnification by Guaranty. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, Guaranty shall, and shall cause the other members of the Guaranty Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Parties’ Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Financial Services Liabilities (including, as provided in Section 1.1(50), the Exclusive Guaranty Contingent Liabilities) or the Guaranty Percentage of any Unallocated Liabilities, (ii) (A) the Financial Services Liabilities identified in Section 1.1(50)(iv), and (B) any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the Commission by any member of the Temple-Inland Group or the Forestar Group, as applicable, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such

misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission based upon information that is either furnished to any member of the Temple-Inland Group or the Forestar Group, as the case may be, by any member of the Guaranty Group or incorporated by reference by any member of the Temple-Inland Group or the Forestar Group, as the case may be, from any filings made by any member of the Guaranty Group with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and then, with respect to clause (B), only if that statement or omission was made or occurred after the applicable Relevant Time, or (iii) any breach by Guaranty or any member of the Guaranty Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder. The fact that another member of the Financial Services Group has Assumed a Liability covered by this indemnification shall not limit or preclude Guaranty’s obligation with respect to that Liability under the Agreement.

Section 7.5 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 7.5(b)), within 15 Business Days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such written notice).

(b) Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against a Temple-Inland Indemnitee, a Guaranty Indemnitee, or a Forestar Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this ARTICLE VII or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within 15 calendar days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide written notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) Other than in the case of (i) an Unallocated Liability (the defense of which shall be controlled as provided for in ARTICLE VI), (ii) any Liability being managed by a Party in accordance with any Ancillary Agreement or (iii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.11(e), Section 2.11(f) and Section 2.11(g) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume, control the defense of, and settle any Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the applicable Indemnitees within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from such Indemnitees. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitee(s) business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of that portion of the Third Party Claim that seeks equitable relief with respect to the Indemnitee(s).

(d) Other than in the case of an Unallocated Liability, if an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 7.5(c), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent information, material and information in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee.

(e) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim that is not an Unallocated Liability (which shall be governed by Section 6.4) without the Consent of the Indemnifying Party, which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(f) In the case of a Third Party Claim (except for any Third Party Claim that is an Unallocated Liability which, with respect to the subject matter of this Section 7.5(f), shall be governed by Section 6.4), no Indemnifying Party shall Consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the Consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Indemnitee if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee; it being understood that in the case of a Third Party Claim that is an Unallocated Liability, such matters are addressed in ARTICLE VI.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.20, absent Knowing Violation of Law, fraud or intentional misrepresentation by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement (including with respect to monetary or compensatory damages or losses arising out of or relating to, as the case may be, any Real Estate Liability, Financial Services Liability, or Retained Business Liability), and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this ARTICLE VII against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this ARTICLE VII shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss or Liability incurred.

Section 7.7 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.2(ii), Section 7.3(ii) and Section 7.4(ii) is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein or therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in Liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. With respect to the foregoing, the relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.7 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7.7(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnitee as a result of the Liabilities referred to in Section 7.7(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 7.8 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts on a Net-Tax Basis.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, including in respect of any Unallocated Liability, will (i) be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, (ii) be net of any proceeds received by the Indemnitee from any third party for indemnification for such Liability that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”) and (iii) be determined on a Net-Tax Basis. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VII will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then 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 Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contributions provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which the Indemnified Party seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII; provided, that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) The term “Net-Tax Basis” as used in this ARTICLE VII means that, in determining the amount of the payment necessary to indemnify any party against, or reimburse any party for, Indemnifiable Losses, the amount of such Liabilities will be determined net of any theoretical reduction in Tax realizable (assuming a hypothetical effective tax rate of 40%) by the Indemnitee as the result of sustaining or paying such Indemnifiable Losses after taking into account any Tax incurred on the receipt of Insurance Proceeds, and the amount of such Indemnity Payment will be increased (i.e., “grossed up”) by the amount necessary to satisfy any income or franchise Tax Liabilities that will be incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of its receipt of, or right to receive, such Indemnity Payment (as so increased), so that the Indemnitee is put in the same net after-Tax economic position as if it had not incurred such Liabilities, in each case without taking into account any impact on the Tax basis that an Indemnitee has in its Assets.

Section 7.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this ARTICLE VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this ARTICLE VII shall survive the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or Businesses or the assignment by it or its respective Subsidiaries of any and all Liabilities.

ARTICLE VIII

CONFIDENTIALITY; ACCESS TO INFORMATION

(b) After the Relevant Time, upon the prior written request by Guaranty for specific and identified information which relates to (x) Guaranty or the conduct of the Financial Services Business up to the Relevant Time, or (y) any Ancillary Agreement to which the other Party and Guaranty are parties, the other Party shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such information (or the originals thereof if the Party making the request has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

(c) After the Relevant Time, upon the prior written request by Temple-Inland for specific and identified information which relates to (x) Temple-Inland or the conduct of the Retained Business up to the Relevant Time, or (y) any Ancillary Agreement to which the other Party and Temple-Inland are parties, the other Party shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such information (or the originals thereof if the Party making the request has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

Section 8.2 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to ARTICLE VII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern) and without limiting the applicable provisions of ARTICLE VII, from and after the Relevant Time, each of the Parties shall afford to the other Parties and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or Confidential

Information and to the requirements of any applicable state and/or federal regulation such as a Code of Conduct or Standard of Conduct, to the personnel, properties, and information of such Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party, and only for the duration such access is required, and relates to (x) such other Party or the conduct of its Business prior to the Relevant Time or (y) any Ancillary Agreement to which each of the Party requesting such access and the Party requested to grant such access are Parties. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required to disclose any such information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party Consent to the disclosure of such information. Each of the Parties shall inform their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives who have or have access to the other Party’s Confidential Information of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties.

Section 8.3 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Relevant Time, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Parties, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions between members of each Group) and (ii) there is no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party except for the time and effort required in connection with the services of the officers, directors and employees and agents of the other Party.

Section 8.4 Confidentiality.

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, for a period of 2 years from the Effective Time, the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to hold, and shall each cause each of their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or use, for any ongoing or future commercial purpose, without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information concerning any other Party; provided, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such information for auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against any other Party, or (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, or other required disclosures; provided, further, that each Party (and members of its Group as necessary) may use, or may permit use of, Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with such first Party performing its obligations, or exercising its rights, under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Parties will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other applicable Party or Parties to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by any other Party as of the Relevant Time may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the Real Estate Business, the Financial Services Business, or the Retained Business, as the case may be; provided, such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 8.4(a). Such continued right to use may not be transferred (directly or indirectly) to any third party without the prior written Consent of the applicable Party, except pursuant to Section 11.9.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party prior to the Relevant Time. Such Party will hold, and will cause the other members of its Group and their respective representatives to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of third parties to which they or any other member of their respective Groups has access, in accordance with the terms of any agreements entered into prior to the Relevant Time between one or more members of the such Party’s Group (whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the separated Businesses) and such third parties.

(d) Upon the written request of a Party, the other Party shall promptly, (i) deliver to such requesting Party all original Confidential Information (whether written or electronic) concerning such requesting Party and/or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) if specifically requested by such requesting Party, destroy any copies of such Confidential Information (including any extracts therefrom). Upon the written request of such requesting Party, the other Party shall cause one of its duly authorized officers to certify in writing to such requesting Party that the requirements of the preceding sentence have been satisfied in full.

(e) Each of the Parties shall keep confidential, safeguard and not disclose any “non-public personal information” as defined by the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq., as amended from time to time, and all applicable implementing regulations and agency pronouncements related thereto, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “GLBA”) in

violation of the GLBA, the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Interagency Guidance on Response Programs for Unauthorized Access to Customer Information and Customer Notice (the “Interagency Guidance”), or in violation of any other applicable Law.

Section 8.5 Privileged Matters.

(a) Pre-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Relevant Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of each Party’s Group, and that each of the members of each Party’s Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Separation services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law.

(b) Post-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Relevant Time which will be rendered solely for the benefit of Temple-Inland, Forestar or Guaranty, as the case may be. With respect to such post-Separation services, the Parties agrees as follows:

(i) Forestar shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the Real Estate Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty. Forestar shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Real Estate Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Forestar, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty;

(ii) Guaranty shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the Financial Services Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty. Guaranty shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Guaranty Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Guaranty, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty; and

(iii) Temple-Inland shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the Retained Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty. Temple-Inland shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject

matter of any claims constituting Retained Business Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Temple-Inland, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Temple-Inland, Forestar, or Guaranty.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 8.5, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 8.5(b). All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve two or more of the Parties in respect of which such Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement, shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(d) No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which any other Party has a shared privilege, without the Consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or as provided in subsections (e) or (f) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within 30 days after notice upon the other Party requesting such Consent.

(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among any of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the Consent of the other Party; provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

(f) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Parties, and shall not unreasonably withhold Consent to any request for waiver by another Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold Consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(g) Upon receipt by any Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party or Parties a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 8.5 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

(h) The transfer of all information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of the Parties as set forth in Section 8.4 and Section 8.5, to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The

access to information being granted pursuant to Section 6.6, Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.6 and Section 8.3 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 6.6 and Section 8.5 hereof, and the transfer of privileged information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 8.6 Reimbursement. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing information or access to information to the other Party under this ARTICLE VIII shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefore, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses, as may be reasonably incurred in providing such information or access to such information.

Section 8.7 Ownership of Information. Any information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.

Section 8.8 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this ARTICLE VIII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 9.1 Negotiation; Broad Form Arbitration.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4 with regard to determinations made by the Contingent Claim Committee, any controversy, dispute or claim among any of the Parties or members of their respective Groups arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim based on contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, statute or constitution (collectively, “Agreement Disputes”) shall be resolved in the manner provided in this ARTICLE IX.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.4, each Party involved in an Agreement Dispute (either directly or because a member of its Group is involved) may initiate negotiation of any Agreement Dispute among senior management of the respective Parties by giving the other Party or Parties involved in the Agreement Dispute a written notice of the Agreement Dispute (“Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall include a statement of the Party’s position, a general summary of the arguments supporting that position, the name and title of the senior executive (which may be its general counsel or chief legal officer), who will represent the party and any other person(s) who will attend settlement meetings.

(c) Within 10 days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, each receiving Party shall submit to the other Party or Parties a written response that includes the same information as is required to be contained in the Dispute Notice.

(d) Any Party involved in the Agreement Dispute may impose a 30-day time limitation on negotiations initiated by a Dispute Notice. The 30-day time limitation shall run from the date that the last Party to be notified receives the Dispute Notice. A Party giving a Dispute Notice may impose a shorter period of time of reasonable duration (not less than 10 days) from receipt of the Dispute Notice to complete negotiations if the Party reasonably believes that delay in initiating arbitration (if available) likely will impair materially its rights, title or Liabilities.

(e) The giving of the Dispute Notice shall be a condition precedent to initiating arbitration for an Agreement Dispute that is subject to arbitration, except as provided in Section 6.4. Nothing in this Section 9.1 precludes the Parties to an Agreement Dispute extending by written agreement the negotiation period after a Dispute Notice, or obligates a Party to continue negotiations after that Party declares an impasse.

(f) If the aggregate amount in controversy, dispute or claim (or any series of related controversies, disputes or claims), as set forth both in the Dispute Notice and in any applicable response including any counterclaims, is less than $100,000, the Parties agree that such controversy, dispute or claim shall not be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.2. If the aggregate amount in controversy, dispute or claim (or any series of related controversies, disputes or claims), as set forth in either the Dispute Notice or any applicable response, is $100,000 or more and the time limitation on negotiation set in the Dispute Notice has expired, the Parties agree that such controversy, dispute or claim may be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.2. Except as provided in Section 9.1(g), Section 9.4(d), Section 9.7 and Section 11.21, the Parties to the Agreement Dispute shall have no recourse with respect to an Agreement Dispute in any Action, state or federal judicial court, administrative proceeding or under any applicable Law and (ii) the negotiation process and limited right to arbitration that are provided in this ARTICLE IX are the exclusive methods of dispute resolution for all Agreement Disputes that may be instituted by any Party (or any member of its Group).

(g) If a Party to a Dispute Notice (or a member of its Group) (i) is a party to a judicial, bankruptcy or administrative proceeding initiated by another Person and (ii) must either assert a counterclaim or crossclaim against another Party (or member of its Group) involved in an Agreement Dispute or, under applicable Law, have its rights or claims asserted in Agreement Dispute precluded, Liability under the Agreement Dispute established or a title asserted in the Agreement Dispute not fully adjudicated, then the Party (or member of its Group) in that proceeding so joined in the proceeding may assert the counterclaim or crossclaim against that Party (or member of its Group) if that Party (or member of its Group) is already a party to the proceeding, provided that the amount in controversy under the claim, counterclaim or crossclaim is $100,000 or more. If a Party could otherwise assert the claim, counterclaim or crossclaim but for the fact the other Party or Parties (or members of the respective Groups) are not joined in proceeding, that Party may join each of the other Parties (or members of its respective Group),

provided that each Party (or member of its respective Group) to be joined is a person to be joined if feasible under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or any other rules of civil procedure applicable to the proceeding. No Agreement Dispute that is the subject of a counterclaim or crossclaim permitted under this Section 9.1(g) may be submitted to arbitration unless or until such counterclaim or crossclaim is dismissed without prejudice by a final order or judgment, not subject to appeal. If an Agreement Dispute is the subject of arbitration proceeding under Section 9.2, then the matter of the potentially conflicting proceedings shall be submitted to the arbitral tribunal to resolve the conflict under applicable Law.

(h) An Agreement Dispute may include any matter for which declaratory relief would be available under the Texas Uniform Declaratory Judgment Act or the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act (collectively, the “DJAs”), but an Agreement Dispute may not include matters that are merely theoretical disputes and are not real and substantial controversies involving a genuine justifiable conflict of tangible interests. If the Agreement Dispute is a matter for which declaratory relief would be available under the DJAs, then the Parties involved in the Agreement Dispute shall make good faith estimates in the Dispute Notice and response(s) thereto of the amount that would be in controversy if the matter were deferred until a breach of contract occurred or other action under another Law accrued that is directly related to the matter for which the declaratory relief is sought. The good faith estimates shall be the amounts in controversy for the purposes of applying the provisions of this ARTICLE IX. All statements of amounts in controversy included in any Dispute Notice or response thereto shall be limited to damages that may be awarded in an arbitration under Section 9.9 herein. Any damages not permitted to be included as amounts in controversy in the Dispute Notice or any response to the Dispute Notice shall be disregarded by the arbitral tribunal for all purposes of this ARTICLE IX.

(i) If arbitration proceedings are properly initiated pursuant to Section 9.2 within 180 days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, then any applicable statute of limitations, period of repose, or other time limitation for initiating an Action imposed by statute or agreement shall be tolled for the period from the date the Dispute Notice is received until the earlier of (i) the date the notice initiating arbitration for that matter is effective or (ii) a permitted judicial proceeding requesting relief permitted under Section 9.7 is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) 181 days following the receipt of the Dispute Notice. Further, no defense of laches or other similar defense under common law or in equity shall be asserted based upon the failure to initiate any proceeding during the period that limitations is tolled under this Section 9.1(b). Nothing in this provision shall prevent tolling of limitations under any statute, administrative rule or other applicable doctrine of Law. Proper referral of an issue to the Contingent Claim Committee under Section 6.4 shall be deemed the giving of Dispute Notice for the purposes of tolling limitations under this Section 9.1(i). If the filing of a lawsuit would toll the running of limitations under a Law that is applicable to an Agreement Dispute, then regardless of whether initiating arbitration proceedings tolls the running of a limitations period under that Law, the Parties agree that such limitations period shall be tolled from the date the arbitration is initiated until an arbitration award is made or the arbitration proceeding is dismissed by the arbitral tribunal. Nothing in ARTICLE IX precludes the parties to an Agreement Dispute extending or tolling the limitations period by written agreement.

(j) Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Agreement Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any arbitration, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

Section 9.2 Arbitration. For any Agreement Dispute that is ripe for arbitration under Section 9.1 or Section 6.4, the Parties agree that upon a Party involved in the Agreement Dispute initiating an arbitration proceeding, such Agreement Dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then in effect, except as modified herein (the “Rules”). Any Party may initiate arbitration of such an Agreement Dispute by giving notice of arbitration in accordance with the Rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one (i) for any Arbitration Dispute referred from the Contingent Claim Committee and (ii) for any other Agreement Dispute in which the aggregate amount in controversy, dispute or claim (or any series of related controversies, disputes or claims) under an Agreement Dispute, as set forth both in the Dispute Notice and in any applicable response, is less than $10,000,000. For all other Agreement Disputes, the number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration hearing shall be held and the award shall be issued in the City of Austin, Texas. Individual hearings may be held at any other location to which the parties agree and a telephonic hearing under a procedure determined by the arbitral tribunal.

Section 9.3 Selection of Arbitrator(s).

(a) Only licensed attorneys at Law qualified to serve as an arbitrator by experience in the practice of Law and by experience as an arbitrator shall be included on any list of candidates provided by or to the CPR, provided that for issues referred from the Contingent Claim Committee, a certified public accountant qualified to serve as an arbitrator by experience in the practice of public accounting and by experience as an arbitrator also may be included on any list of candidates provided by CPR.

(b) If one arbitrator is to determine the Agreement Dispute, the Parties shall attempt to agree upon a qualified individual to serve as arbitrator from the list attached as Schedule 9.3(c) (as such schedule may be updated from time to time). If the Parties are unable to agree jointly on an arbitrator within 20 days of the receipt by respondent of the notice of arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected and appointed in accordance with Rule 6 of the Rules.

(c) If three arbitrators are to hear the Agreement Dispute, and if there are only two Parties to the arbitration, each Party shall appoint its arbitrator from the list attached as Schedule 9.3(c) within 20 days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the notice of arbitration. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall have 20 days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator from the persons named on Schedule 9.3(c) who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties shall be appointed in accordance with Rule 6 of the Rules. If there are more than two parties to the arbitration, all three arbitrators shall be appointed using the screened appointment process provided by Rule 5.4 of the Rules and CPR shall designate the chair from the three arbitrators so appointed. If any appointed arbitrator declines, resigns, becomes incapacitated, or otherwise refuses or fails to serve or to continue to serve as an arbitrator, the Party or arbitrators entitled to appoint such arbitrator shall promptly

appoint a successor. If a Party objects to an arbitrator, CPR shall decide whether such objection is valid and whether the challenged arbitrator shall be removed. The date that the arbitral tribunal is appointed shall be the date the last arbitrator required to complete the tribunal accepts a valid offer to act as an arbitrator in the matter to be arbitrated.

Section 9.4 Arbitration Procedures.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(b), Rule 9 of the Rules shall govern in the arbitration procedure and Rule 12 of the Rules shall govern the submission of evidence and evidentiary hearings. The arbitral tribunal shall initially determine whether to attempt to resolve the dispute based solely on pleadings, sworn statements and other written materials without the need for a live evidentiary hearing. In the event the arbitral tribunal determines to resolve the dispute based solely upon the submission of written materials, and if the arbitral tribunal determines that oral argument is beneficial to its understanding of the issues, oral argument may be conducted based on the written submissions. Any oral argument to be conducted shall be held, if practicable, no later than 150 days following appointment of the arbitral tribunal. In the event the arbitral tribunal determines that live evidentiary hearings are necessary for the proper resolution of the dispute, a live evidentiary hearing shall be conducted. Any live evidentiary hearing to be conducted shall be held, if practicable, no later than 180 days following appointment of the arbitral tribunal.

(b) Any Party may request oral argument or a live evidentiary hearing and the arbitrators shall consider whether the request states good cause to hear oral argument or to conduct a live evidentiary hearing and act accordingly upon such request. If $10 million or more is in controversy, the request of any Party for oral argument shall be granted. If $20 million or more is in controversy, the request of any Party for a live evidentiary hearing shall be granted.

(c) Any controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal, whether an Agreement Dispute is arbitrable, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this ARTICLE IX shall be determined by the arbitral tribunal.

(d) In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the Parties intend and agree that the arbitral tribunal shall apply the substantive Laws of the State of Texas, and, to the extent applicable, federal law, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction over any party or any of its Assets.

Section 9.5 Discovery.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.5, Rule 11 of the Rules shall apply to discovery in the arbitration procedure, except that the arbitral tribunal, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, may permit limited document discovery and no more than three

depositions per party to the arbitration of no more than eight hours each, provided that if more than $10 million is in controversy, the arbitrators may provide for additional document discovery, limited written interrogatories and depositions upon request.

(b) At least 30 days prior to any written submission date or live evidentiary hearing, each party to the arbitration shall provide the other parties to the arbitration with copies of all documents on which the producing party may rely in support of a claim or defense or which are relevant to the issues raised in the Agreement Dispute, including any expert reports of experts who may testify. At least three (3) days prior to any hearing, each party to the arbitration shall provide the other parties to the arbitration with a list of all exhibits that the party to the arbitration may offer into evidence in support of its case and a copy of any exhibit not previously produced. Failure to produce timely a document or exhibit without good cause shall be grounds for exclusion of the document or exhibit, provided that a party to the arbitration may introduce documents and exhibits illustrative of testimony as rebuttal exhibits in response to evidence of another party to the arbitration that were not listed as exhibits.

(c) All discovery, if any, shall, if practicable, be completed within 90 days following the appointment of the arbitral tribunal. The arbitral tribunal shall preside and rule on any discovery disputes including confidentiality and privilege issues. Adherence to formal rules of evidence shall not be required and the arbitral tribunal shall consider any evidence and testimony that the arbitral tribunal determine to be relevant and of a type that a reasonably prudent person would commonly rely upon in the conduct of his affairs, subject to and in accordance with the Rules and procedures that the arbitral tribunal determine to be appropriate.

Section 9.6 Confidentiality of Proceedings. Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award, provided, that such matters may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or Governmental Entity. To the extent such matters must be disclosed in such proceedings or otherwise, the Parties shall file all materials under seal to the extent permitted by applicable Law and shall file such motions for orders of the Court as may be required to file materials under seal or shall request confidential treatment of all materials.

Section 9.7 Pre-Hearing Procedure and Disposition. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party, or one of its Subsidiaries from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction in Xxxxxx County, Texas, for (i) interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, or (ii) to compel a Party or one of its Subsidiaries to arbitrate any Agreement Dispute or to require witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitral tribunal or otherwise in aid of arbitration. For this purpose all Parties agree for themselves and for each member of their respective Group to submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Xxxxxx County, Texas with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the dispute. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to

an arbitration to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to an arbitration to respect the tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties agree to accept and honor any orders relating to interim or provisional remedies that are issued by the arbitral tribunal and agree that any such interim order or remedy may be enforced, as necessary, in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Xxxxxx County, Texas.

Section 9.8 Continuity of Service and Performance. During the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries will continue to provide all other services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 9.9 Awards. The arbitral tribunal shall make an award and issue a reasoned opinion in writing setting forth the basis for such award within 30 days following the final submission of all written materials in support of and in opposition to any claim, or if there is a live evidentiary hearing, within 30 days of such hearing. The arbitral tribunal shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings that is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, attorney’s fees as provided by Law, specific performance and other forms of legal and equitable relief. The Parties for themselves and their respective Subsidiaries hereby waive any claim to exemplary, punitive, multiple or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages, except as may be expressly required by statute or as necessary to indemnify a Party or one of its Subsidiaries for a Third Party Claim and the arbitral tribunal is not empowered to and shall not award such damages. Any final award must provide that the Person against whom an award is issued shall comply with the order within a specified period of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Section 9.10 Costs. If any Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) attempts, unsuccessfully, to prevent an Agreement Dispute from being arbitrated, such Party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs incurred in compelling arbitration. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, the arbitral tribunal may apportion the costs of arbitration between or among the Parties in such a manner as the arbitral tribunal deem reasonable, taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case.

Section 9.11 Adherence to Time Limits. In accepting appointment, an arbitrator shall commit that his or her schedule permits him or her to devote the reasonably necessary time and attention to the arbitration proceedings and to resolving the Agreement Dispute within the time periods set by this Agreement and by the Rules. Any time limits set out in this ARTICLE IX or in the Rules may be modified upon written agreement of the parties to the arbitration and the arbitral tribunal or by order of the arbitral tribunal for good cause shown. Any failure of the arbitral tribunal to comply with such time limits or to render a final award within the time specified shall not impair the validity of the award or cause the award to be void or voidable, nor shall it be a basis for challenge of the validity or enforceability of the award or of the arbitration proceedings.

Section 9.12 Exclusive Remedy; Limitation on Actions. The Parties agree that indemnification under Article VII is the exclusive remedy for Indemnifiable Losses incurred by an Indemnitee, except for such indemnification or warranty rights as the Indemnitee may have under an Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Party (including any member of that Party’s Group) does not commence an Action within the applicable period to commence the Action set forth in this Section 9.12 (i) to recover Indemnified Losses under an accrued cause of action or (ii) to the extent available, to recover damages that are not Indemnified Losses or for other relief under any cause of action not within the scope of the indemnification in ARTICLE VII or an Ancillary Agreement, then all Persons against whom such causes of Action must be asserted, if feasible, shall be discharged from liability under that accrued cause of action. No Action shall be commenced (including the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this ARTICLE IX):

(a) by an Indemnitee against an Indemnifying Party or any of their respective Affiliates more than 12 months after the Indemnitee acquires knowledge of the facts giving rise to its right to indemnification under ARTICLE VII and a claim for indemnification has accrued under applicable Law, and

(b) by a Party (or member of its Group) against another Party (or member of its Group) asserting any claim arising from breach of any obligation of such other Party (or member of its Group) under this Agreement more than 12 months after such first Party (or member of its Group) acquires knowledge of such breach, provided, however, regardless of such first Party’s (including members of its Group) knowledge of the facts giving rise to its claim based on a breach of this Agreement, no Action shall be commenced by such first Party (or member of its Group) against the other Party (or member of its Group) more than 36 months after the occurrence of the initial event giving rise to such claim for such breach.

Section 10.2 Claims Made Tail Policies.

(a) Temple-Inland shall secure directors and officers liability insurance policies having total limits of $175 million, consisting of $100 million of traditional A/B/C coverage and $75 million in side A DIC coverage and having an effective date on the Final Distribution Date and ending on a date that is six years after the effective date (“D&O Tail Policies”). The premium for the D&O Tail Policies shall be prepaid for the full six-year term of the D&O Tail Policies. Such D&O Tail Policies (i) shall cover all Persons insured by those policies comprising the Temple-Inland directors and officers liability insurance program that began on September 30, 2007, and (ii) shall have material terms and conditions no less favorable than those contained in the September 30, 2007 policies, except for the policy period, premium and provisions excluding coverage for wrongful acts postdating the Final Distribution Date. Temple-Inland shall provide Forestar and Guaranty with copies of the D&O Tail Policies within a reasonable time after the D&O Tail Policies are issued.

(b) Temple-Inland shall secure fiduciary liability insurance policies having total limits of $55 million and having an effective date on the Final Distribution Date and ending on a date that is six years after the effective date (“Fiduciary Tail Policies”). The premium for the Fiduciary Tail Policies shall be pre-paid for the full six-year term of the Fiduciary Tail Policies. Such Fiduciary Tail Policies (i) shall cover all Persons insured by those policies comprising the Temple-Inland fiduciary liability insurance program commencing on September 30, 2007, and (ii) shall have material terms and conditions no less favorable than those contained in the September

30, 2007 policies, except for the policy period, premium and provisions excluding coverage for wrongful acts post-dating the Final Distribution Date. Temple-Inland shall provide Forestar and Guaranty with copies of the Fiduciary Tail Policies within a reasonable time after the Fiduciary Tail Policies are issued.

(c) With respect to any D&O Tail Policies and any Fiduciary Tail Policies secured under Section 10.2(a) and Section 10.2(b), respectively, the associated premiums incurred shall be apportioned amongst the Parties in the same proportion that each respective Party’s revenue for the fiscal year 2007 bears in proportion to the sum total of all the Parties’ revenue for that period, using methods consistent with prior practices.

(d) To the extent that Temple-Inland is unable prior to the Final Distribution Date to obtain any of the policies as provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 10.2, then, with respect to claims based on wrongful acts on or before the Final Distribution Date, Temple-Inland shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure alternative insurance arrangements on applicable stand alone insurance policies for Forestar and Guaranty to provide benefits on terms and conditions (including policy limits) in favor of Forestar and Guaranty and the other Persons to be insured no less favorable than the benefits (including policy limits) that were to be afforded by the policies described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 10.2. With respect to such alternative insurance arrangements, Temple-Inland, Forestar and Guaranty shall be responsible for the premium and any other costs under their applicable stand alone insurance policies. Temple-Inland shall not under any circumstances purchase any such alternative coverage containing an exclusion for claims based on wrongful acts up to and including the Final Distribution Date to the extent such exclusion would preclude coverage for Forestar, Guaranty and other Persons to be insured under the stand alone policies, if Temple-Inland has obtained substantially similar tail-risk insurance coverage for itself on a stand alone basis without that exclusion.

(e) With respect to the D&O Tail Policies and Fiduciary Tail Policies, Temple-Inland, Forestar and Guaranty shall be severally responsible for bearing the full amount of any premium adjustments, deposits, cash collateral, deductibles, co-payments and/or any claims, costs and expenses that are not covered under or are required by such insurance policies, to the extent attributable to claims against each or reasonably allocated to each using methods consistent with prior practices.

Section 10.3 Occurrence Based Policies.

(a) With respect to the occurrence-based Shared Policies which include workers’ compensation/employer’s liability, automobile liability, aircraft liability, general liability and applicable coverage under the excess/umbrella liability insurance, for claims against any member of the Forestar Group that occur prior to the Forestar Distribution Date, Temple-Inland will continue to provide the Forestar Group with access to such Shared Policies.

(b) With respect to the occurrence-based Shared Policies which include workers’ compensation/employer’s liability, automobile liability, aircraft liability, general liability and applicable coverage under the excess/umbrella liability insurance, for claims against any member of the Guaranty Group that occur prior to the Guaranty Distribution Date, Temple-Inland will continue to provide the Guaranty Group with access to such Shared Policies.

(c) Temple-Inland shall reasonably cooperate with the Forestar Group and the Guaranty Group and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist the Forestar Group and the Guaranty Group in submitting such claims to which such occurrence-based Shared Policies are responsive; provided, that Forestar and Guaranty shall be responsible for any premium adjustments, deductibles, deposits, cash collateral or co-payments legally due and owing or required relating to such claims and Temple-Inland shall not be required to maintain such occurrence-based Shared Policies beyond their current terms.

Section 10.4 Administration; Other Matters.

(a) Administration. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.3 hereof, from and after the Effective Time, Temple-Inland shall be responsible for (i) Insurance Administration of the Shared Policies and (ii) Claims Administration of the Shared Policies with respect to Retained Business Liabilities, Real Estate Liabilities and Financial Services Liabilities; provided, that the retention of such responsibilities by Temple-Inland is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under the Shared Policies as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; and provided, further, that Temple-Inland’s retention of the administrative responsibilities for the Shared Policies shall not relieve the Party (or member of its Group) submitting any Insured Claim of the primary responsibility for reporting such Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner or of such Party (or member of its Group’s) authority to settle any such Insured Claim within any period permitted or required by the relevant policy. Temple-Inland may discharge its administrative responsibilities under this Section 10.4 by contracting for the provision of services by independent parties. Each of the applicable Parties shall pay any costs relating to defending its respective Insured Claims under Shared Policies to the extent such costs including defense, out-of-pocket expenses, and direct and indirect costs of employees or agents of Temple-Inland related to Claims Administration and Insurance Administration are not covered under such Shared Policies. In the absence of another agreed arrangement for a claim or particular claims, Temple-Inland shall determine and invoice the costs to be paid by Guaranty or by Forestar using commercially reasonable methods consistently applied. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for obtaining or reviewing the appropriateness of releases upon settlement of its respective Insured Claims under Shared Policies.

(b) Exceeding Policy Limits. Where Retained Liabilities, Real Estate Liabilities, and/or Financial Services Liabilities, as applicable, are specifically covered under the same Shared Policy for periods prior to the Final Distribution Date, or where such Shared Policies cover claims made after the Final Distribution Date with respect to an occurrence or wrongful act wholly prior to the Final Distribution Date, then from and after the Final Distribution Date, a member of the Temple-Inland Group, the Forestar Group and/or the Guaranty Group, as applicable, may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the applicable limits of liability of such Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 10.2, Section 10.3 or Section 10.4(c) hereof), subject to the terms of this Section 10.4. Except as set forth in this Section 10.4, Temple-Inland, Forestar and Guaranty shall not be liable

to one another for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Shared Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by Temple-Inland, Forestar and Guaranty, or any member of their respective Groups, or any defect in such claim or its processing. It is expressly understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Party’s liability to any Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE VII.

(c) Allocation of Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.3, and where not in conflict with or prohibited by specific insurance policy conditions, Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under the Shared Policies shall be paid to or on behalf of Temple-Inland, which shall thereafter administer the Shared Policies by paying the Insurance Proceeds, as appropriate, to Temple-Inland with respect to Retained Business Liabilities, to Forestar with respect to Real Estate Liabilities and to Guaranty with respect to Financial Services Liabilities. Payment of the allocable portions of indemnity costs of Insurance Proceeds resulting from such Shared Policies will be made by Temple-Inland to the appropriate Party upon receipt from the insurance carrier. In the event that the aggregate limits on any Shared Policies are exceeded by the aggregate of outstanding Insured Claims by members of two or more Groups, the relevant Parties agree to allocate the Insurance Proceeds received for those Insured Claims based upon each relevant Group’s respective percentage of the total of their bona fide claims which were covered under such Shared Policy (their “Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds”), and any Party who has received Insurance Proceeds in excess of such Party’s Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds shall pay to the other Party or Parties the appropriate amount so that each Party will have received its Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds pursuant hereto. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under those Shared Policies applicable to it, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to recover from all other responsible parties in respect of an Insured Claim to the extent coverage limits under a Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of such Insured Claim.

(d) Allocation of Aggregate Deductibles. In the event that two or more Groups have members with bona fide claims under any Shared Policy for which an aggregate deductible is payable, the Parties agree that the aggregate amount of the deductible paid shall be borne by the Parties in the same proportion which the Insurance Proceeds received by each such Party bears to the total Insurance Proceeds received under the applicable Shared Policy (their “Allocable Share of the Deductible”), and any Party who has paid more than such Allocable Share of the Deductible shall be entitled to receive from any other Party or Parties an appropriate amount so that each Party has borne its Allocable Share of the Deductible pursuant hereto.

(e) Effective as of the applicable Distribution Date, the Forestar Group and the Guaranty Group shall be responsible for the full amount of the deductible for workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability claims as set forth in Schedule 10.4(c).

(f) Other. With respect to all other Shared Policies, for claims that occur prior to their respective Distribution Dates, Forestar and Guaranty shall be severally responsible for bearing the full amount of any premium adjustments, deposits, cash collateral, deductible, co-payments and/or any claims, costs and expenses that are not covered under or are required by such insurance policies, to the extent attributable to claims against each or reasonably allocated to each using methods consistent with prior practices.

Section 10.5 Agreement for Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense. In the event that Insured Claims by members of more than one Group exist relating to the same occurrence, the relevant Parties shall jointly defend to the extent permitted by applicable Law and rules of professional responsibility applicable to legal counsel for the defense. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties to this Agreement, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

Section 10.6 Cooperation. The Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Certain Matters Relating to Temple-Inland’s Organizational Documents. For a period of six years from the Final Distribution Date, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of Temple-Inland shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification that are set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of Temple-Inland immediately after the Effective Time, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the applicable Relevant Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the applicable Relevant Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of any member of Temple-Inland, Forestar or the Guaranty Group, unless such modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law.
