WHEREAS, the Parties desire to (a) provide for the payment of Tax liabilities and entitlement to refunds thereof, allocate responsibility for, and cooperation in, the filing of Tax Returns, and provide for certain other matters relating to Taxes and (b) set forth certain covenants and indemnities relating to the preservation of the tax-deferred status of the Contribution and Distribution.

(c)Each of Parent, on behalf of it itself and all other members of the Parent Group, and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and all other members of the SpinCo Group represents and warrants that it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the Tax treatment of the Contribution and Distribution to be other than the Tax-Deferred Status of the Contribution and Distribution.

(d)Each of Parent, on behalf of it itself and all other members of the Parent Group, and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and all other members of the SpinCo Group represents and warrants that it has no plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

Section 4.2 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a)SpinCo, on behalf of itself and all other members of the SpinCo Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the SpinCo Group will take, fail to take, or to permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Opinion, the Tax Certificates, or (ii) any action which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax-Deferred Status of the Contribution and Distribution.

(b)During the period which begins with the Distribution Date and ends two (2) years thereafter, SpinCo:

(i)shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the SpinCo Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution,

(ii)shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate itself or any of its Affiliates (including any action that is treated as a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes),

(iii)shall not, in a single transaction or series of transactions, sell or transfer (other than sales or transfers of inventory in the ordinary course of business) all or substantially all of the assets that were transferred to it or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Contribution or sell or transfer 60% or more of the gross assets of the SpinCo Business or 60% or more of its consolidated net or gross assets (such percentages to be measured based on fair market value as of the Distribution Date), and

(iv)shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the

- 12 -

relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Certificates) which in the aggregate would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of SpinCo capital stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a fifty percent (50%) or more of (i) the value of all outstanding shares of SpinCo as of the date of such transaction, or in the case of a series of transactions, the date of the last transaction of such series, or (ii) the total combined voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock of SpinCo as of the date of the such transaction, or in the case of a series of transactions, the date of the last transaction of such series or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Tax-Deferred Status of the Contribution and Distribution.

(c)Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 4.2(a) and (b), SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group may take any of the actions or transactions described therein if SpinCo either (i) obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent or (ii) obtains the prior written consent of Parent waiving the requirement that SpinCo obtain an Unqualified Tax Opinion, such waiver to be provided in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion. Parent’s evaluation of an Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such opinion. SpinCo shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Parent or any of its Affiliates may incur in good faith in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Unqualified Tax Opinion. Neither the delivery of an Unqualified Tax Opinion nor Parent’s waiver of SpinCo’s obligation to deliver an Unqualified Tax Opinion shall limit or modify SpinCo’s continuing indemnification obligation pursuant to Article V.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

from and against, and will reimburse Parent for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to SpinCo pursuant to Article II, (ii) all Taxes and Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the SpinCo Group that is allocated to Parent pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if either Party (the “Indemnitee”) is required to pay to a Taxing Authority a Tax or to another Person a payment in respect of a Tax that the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, including as the result of a Final Determination, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such Tax and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto, to the Indemnitee no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due to the applicable Taxing Authority or (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the other Party.

(b)If, as a result of any change or redetermination made with respect to Article II, any amount previously allocated to and borne by one Party pursuant to the provisions of Article II is thereafter allocated to the other Party, then, no later than five (5) Business Days after such change or redetermination, such other Party shall pay to such Party the amount previously borne by such Party which is allocated to such other Party as a result of such change or redetermination.

Section 5.3 Payment Mechanics.

(a)Subject to Section 10.6, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by Parent directly to SpinCo and by SpinCo directly to Parent; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 5.4.

(b)In the case of any payment of Taxes made by a Responsible Party or Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for which such Responsible Party or Indemnitee, as the case may be, has received a payment from the other Party, such Responsible Party or Indemnitee shall provide to the other Party a copy of any official government receipt received with respect to the payment of such Taxes to the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if no such official

- 14 -

governmental receipts are available, executed bank payment forms or other reasonable evidence of payment).

Section 5.4 Treatment of Payments. The Parties agree that any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated, to the extent permitted by law, for all Federal Income Tax purposes as either (i) a non-taxable contribution by Parent to SpinCo, or (ii) a distribution by SpinCo to Parent, in each case, made immediately prior to the Distribution.

TAX CONTESTS

Section 6.1 Notice. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) days after receipt by such Party or any member of its Group of a written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any pending or threatened audit, claim, dispute, suit, action, proposed assessment or other proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) concerning any Taxes for which the other Party may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to such Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Contest.

Section 6.4 Obligation of Continued Notice. During the pendency of any Tax Contest or threatened Tax Contest, each of the Parties shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication received by it or a member of its respective Group from a Taxing Authority regarding any Tax Contest for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Taxing Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such matters. Such notice shall be provided in a reasonably timely fashion; provided, however, that in the event that timely notice is not provided, a Party shall be relieved of its obligation to indemnify the other Party only to the extent that such delay results in actual increased costs or actual prejudice to such other Party.

The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of any Dispute between the Parties as to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (a “Tax Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation Agreement; provided, however, that in any Tax Dispute (x) the Tax departments of the Parties shall also participate in the negotiations set forth in Section 8.1 of the Separation Distribution Agreement and (y) the Arbitral Tribunal referenced in Section 8.2 of the

- 17 -

Separation Agreement shall be comprised of Tax counsels or accountants of recognized national standing. Nothing in this Article IX will prevent any Party from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Tax Dispute through the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation Agreement could result in serious and irreparable injury to such Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Parent and SpinCo are the only members of their respective Groups entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of Parent and SpinCo will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Party as provided in this Section 14.
