(b) Each of OSG and INSW shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective businesses as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, as applicable, such Party, or the members of its Group, as applicable, not later than the Effective Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law).

(c) Nothing in this Section ‎2.8 shall require any member of any Group to make any non-de minimis payment (except to the extent advanced, assumed or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by any member of the other Group), incur any non-de minimis obligation or grant any non-de minimis concession for the benefit of any member of any other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section ‎2.8.

2.9 [Reserved]

2.10 INSW Credit Agreement. Prior to or concurrent with the Effective Time, INSW shall amend and restate the INSW Credit Agreement to reflect that the Contribution and the Distribution have occurred, and such other matters as may be reflected in such amendment and restatement.

In order to enable the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of INSW to make the certifications required of them under Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, OSG, within thirty-five (35) days of the end of any fiscal quarter during which INSW remains OSG’s Subsidiary, shall provide INSW with one or more certifications with respect to such disclosure controls and procedures, its internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness thereof. Such certification(s) shall be provided by OSG (and not by any officer or employee in their individual capacity).

2.13 Solvency and Liquidity. Prior to the Distribution, the Parties shall take all actions as OSG may determine to be reasonably necessary and desirable to provide for the liquidity and solvency of each of the OSG Group and the INSW Group as of immediately after the Distribution, including, without limitation, the transfer of sufficient cash, cash equivalents or other Assets to enable INSW and the INSW Group and OSG and the OSG Group to be reasonably capitalized for the operation of their respective businesses and to pay their respective liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature.

2.14 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EACH OF INSW (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE INSW GROUP) AND OSG (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE OSG GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR APPROVALS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AS TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, ANY ASSETS OF SUCH PARTY, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR OTHER ASSET, INCLUDING ANY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OF ANY PARTY, OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY ASSET OR THING OF VALUE UPON THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND FILING HEREOF OR THEREOF. EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS (AND, IN THE CASE OF ANY REAL PROPERTY, BY MEANS OF A QUITCLAIM OR SIMILAR FORM OF DEED OR CONVEYANCE) AND THE RESPECTIVE TRANSFEREES SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT (I) ANY CONVEYANCE WILL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN THE TRANSFEREE GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST, AND (II) ANY NECESSARY APPROVALS OR NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR MADE OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

3.4 The Distribution.

(a) Subject to Section ‎3.3, on or prior to the Effective Time, OSG will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Record Holders, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding INSW Stock as is necessary to effect the Distribution, and shall cause the transfer agent for the OSG Common Stock to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of INSW Stock to each such holder or designated transferee or transferees of such holder by way of direct registration in book-entry form. The Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to Section ‎3.3, each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of whole INSW Stock equal to, (i) in the case of a holder of OSG Common Stock as of the Record Date, the number of OSG Common Stock held on the Record Date multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number and (ii) in the case of a holder of OSG Warrants as of the Record Date, the Distribution Ratio multiplied by each share of OSG Common Stock such Warrant Holder would have received if he, she or it had exercised its OSG Warrants immediately prior to the Distribution.

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional shares interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of INSW. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder that, but for the provisions of this Section ‎3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a INSW Stock pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, OSG shall direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional INSW Stock allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of the Record Holders that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions. None of OSG, INSW or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional INSW Stock sold in accordance with this Section ‎3.4(c). Neither OSG nor INSW will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of OSG or INSW. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section ‎3.4(c), “Record Holder” shall mean the person by whom the OSG Common Stock is “held of record” within the meaning of Rule 12g5-1 under the Exchange Act.

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

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

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if OSG is required to withhold any amount otherwise distributable to a Record Holder in the Distribution under the Code, OSG, the Agent or any Person that is a withholding agent under applicable Law shall be entitled to deduct and withhold the amount required to be withheld (“Required Withholding Amount”) by (i) reducing to cash a sufficient portion of the INSW Stock that such Record Holder would otherwise receive in the Distribution or (ii) withholding from other property held in such Record Holder’s account with the withholding agent. For the purpose of Section ‎3.4(f)(i), OSG shall be entitled to direct the Agent or any withholding agent, as applicable, to sell the number of INSW Stock otherwise distributable to the Record Holder that is sufficient to cover the Required Withholding Amount in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of such Record Holder (with the Agent or the withholding agent, as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales) and to use the proceeds from such sale to withhold the Required Withholding Amount, after deducting any applicable transfer Taxes and the costs and expenses of such sale, including brokers fees and commissions; provided that, if there is any remaining amount after the application of the proceeds, such remaining amount shall be distributed to the Record Holder in respect of which the Required Withholding Amount was withheld. Any amount so withheld shall be paid over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in the manner prescribed by Law. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which such INSW Stock are sold shall be Affiliates of OSG or INSW. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Record Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, INSW shall, and shall cause the other members of the INSW Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless OSG, each member of the OSG Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “OSG Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the OSG Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any INSW Liability;

(b) the New York Lease;

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

(d) any breach by INSW or any other member of the INSW Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(e) except to the extent it relates to a OSG Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the INSW Group by any member of the OSG Group that survives following the Distribution (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Continuing OSG Guarantee); and

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if INSW shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in Section ‎4.3(e).

4.3 Indemnification by OSG. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, from and after the Effective Time, OSG shall, and shall cause the other members of the OSG Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless INSW, each member of the INSW Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “INSW Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the INSW Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in OSG’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if INSW shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts; Other Matters Relating to Indemnification.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this ‎Article IV or ‎Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the related Liability, 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 such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that it is their intent that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this ‎Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Effective Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the INSW Group or the OSG Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section ‎4.2 or Section ‎4.3, or any other section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty-one (21) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section ‎4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section ‎4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section ‎4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section ‎4.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

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

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section ‎4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise is (i) solely for monetary damages that the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged that it will be responsible for, (ii) does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party or another member of its Group and (iii) provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party and the other members of its Group from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

4.6 Right of Contribution. With respect to any Liability for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder arising out of or related to information contained in the Disclosure Documents or other securities Law filing, if the indemnification provided for in Section ‎4.2(f) and Section ‎4.3(e) is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than due to failure to provide notice with respect to any Third-Party Claims in accordance with Section ‎4.5(a)), in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section ‎4.6, contribute to such Liability incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of INSW and each member of the INSW Group, on the one hand, and OSG and each other member of the OSG Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Liability. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the INSW Business or a member of the INSW Group, on the one hand, or the OSG Business or a member of the OSG Group, on the other hand.

4.7 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this ‎Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the indemnification or contribution amount to which the Indemnitee is entitled under this ‎Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, and such demand shall include reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this ‎Article IV 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 Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of such determination; provided, that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section ‎4.6(b). If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of ‎Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnifying Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

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

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

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

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

4.11 Real Property Transfer Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Transfer Documents entered into in connection with the transfer of Real Property, no warranty or any other provision contained therein shall act to increase either Party’s Liability beyond as set forth in this Agreement.

Article V
INSURANCe

5.1 Cooperation With Respect to Insurance Matters. OSG and INSW agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Effective Time. In no event shall any member of the OSG Group have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the INSW Group in the event that any insurance policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the INSW Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

5.2 Access to Insurance Policies.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of either Group prior to the Effective Time, the other Party, will provide the requesting Party with access to, and such requesting Party may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Party, make claims under, the other Party’s insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and the other Party’s historical policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the requesting Party prior to the Effective Time; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, and any deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospectively rated insurance plans and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) The requesting Party shall report any claim to the other Party as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with the policies’ terms and conditions;

(ii) The requesting Party and the other members of its Group shall be responsible for making payments directly to insurers where possible, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the other Party and the members of its Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, retrospective premium payments, and fees and expenses incurred by any member of such Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by the requesting Party or any other members of its Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section ‎5.2, including claims previously reported and any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by a member of the requesting Party’s Group, employees or Third Parties; and

(iii) The requesting Party shall exclusively bear (and no member of the other Party’s Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse any member of the such requesting Party’s Group for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by any member of the requesting Party’s Group under the policies as provided for in this Section ‎5.2. In the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the requesting Party’s Group, on the one hand, and the other Party’s Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to the other Party’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time). To the extent that either Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to the other Party’s insurance carrier(s), the other Party shall promptly pay the first Party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, the other Party may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that the other Party elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to the requesting Party, and the requesting Party may direct the other Party in writing to, and the other Party shall, in such case, reinstate the policy aggregate; provided that the requesting Party shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

(b) No member of the requesting Party’s Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of any member of the other Party’s Group pursuant to this Section ‎5.2, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between any member of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by any member of the other Party’s Group under the applicable insurance policy or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of any member of the other Party’s Group under the applicable insurance policy, provided that, for avoidance of doubt that this Section ‎5.2(b) shall not preclude or otherwise restrict any member of the requesting Party’s Group from reporting claims to insurers in the ordinary course of business.

(c) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the other Party’s Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

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

5.3 INSW Insurance Policies. Except as provided in Section ‎5.2, from and after the Effective Time, no member of the INSW Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of any member of the OSG Group. At the Effective Time, the members of the INSW Group shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with the INSW Group’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to the INSW Business. Such insurance programs shall include, among other programs: hull and machinery, deviation, protection and indemnity, freight, demurrage and defense, comprehensive charterers’ liability, fidelity guarantee (crime), general liability/property damage, non-owned aircraft liability, international carrier bond, importer/broker bond, war risks (hull and increased value), owners and manager’s errors and omissions, loss of hire, special risks, state act / workers’ compensation, United States Xxxxxxxxx and harbor worker’s cover, crime policy and social responsibility insurance.

5.4 Payments and Reimbursements. All payments and reimbursements by the requesting Party pursuant to Section ‎5.2 will be made within fifteen (15) days after the requesting Party's receipt of an invoice therefor from the other Party. In the event that the requesting Party makes payments to insurance companies directly, then the requesting Party shall make payments in compliance with the requirements and policies and procedures with respect to insurance payments in effect prior to the Effective Time. If the other Party incurs costs to enforce the requesting Party's obligations herein, the requesting Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant to Section ‎4.7. The other Party shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Liabilities and/or claims the requesting Party has made or could make in the future. No member of the requesting Party's Group shall, without the prior consent of the other Party or otherwise as expressly permitted under this Agreement, erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with such other Party's insurers with respect to any of such other Party's insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. The requesting Party shall cooperate with the other Party and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other Party to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. No member of the other Party's Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Liability policies of any member of such Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the requesting Party's Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

5.5 Directors and Officers Policies.

(a) Effective on the Distribution Date, the existing Directors and Officers liability insurance policy covering directors and officers of the OSG Group and the INSW Group will be converted to Directors and Officers liability insurance policies having reasonable and customary Side A, Side B and Excess Side A Difference in Conditions coverage and having a policy period incepting on the Distribution Date, and ending on a date that is six years after the inception date (“D&O Tail Policies”). OSG will bear fifty percent (50%) and INSW will bear fifty percent (50%) of the expense of the D&O Tail Policies. Such D&O Tail Policies shall cover INSW and the insured persons of INSW prior to the Distribution Date and shall have material terms and conditions no less favorable than those contained in the policies comprising the OSG Directors and Officers liability insurance program incepting on September 30, 2016, except for the policy period, premium and provisions excluding coverage for wrongful acts post-dating the Distribution Date. Each of the OSG Group and the INSW Group shall be responsible for obtaining its own Directors and Officers liability insurance policy for acts or omissions occurring on or after the Distribution Date.

(b) Subject to ‎Article V, OSG shall pay fifty percent (50%) and INSW shall pay fifty percent (50%) of any D&O Tail Policy deductible (or retention, as the case may be) on Side B coverage (or retention as the case may be).

Article VI
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to Section ‎6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, each of INSW and OSG, on behalf of itself and each member of its Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the other members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor from the other Party or its Group members, any Information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such first Party or its Group members to the extent that (i) such Information relates to the OSG Business, or any OSG Asset or OSG Liability, if a member of the OSG Group is the requesting Party, or to the INSW Business, or any INSW Asset or INSW Liability, if a member of the INSW Group is the requesting Party, (ii) such Information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (iii) such Information is required by the requesting Party to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, in the event that the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of Information could be detrimental to the Party providing the Information, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing Information pursuant to this Section ‎6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such Information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such Information, and nothing in this Section ‎6.1 shall expand the obligations of a Party under Section ‎6.4.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the first INSW fiscal year end occurring after the Effective Time (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s Information requests to enable (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, quarterly and annual filings, proxy statements, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws.

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any Information pursuant to Section ‎6.1 or Section ‎6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such Information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such Information except as set forth in Section ‎6.11(b) and Section ‎6.11(c).

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. Except as set forth in Section ‎6.7 with respect to production of witnesses and records in connection with certain Actions, the Party requesting Information shall not be required to pay or reimburse the other Party for the cost of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with a request with respect to such Information (including those expenses incurred in any review of Information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested Information); provided, however, that the Party requesting Information shall be required to pay or reimburse the other Party for such costs in connection with any request resulting in a significant burden on the other Party, involving an unusually high volume of requested Information, or otherwise arising outside the ordinary course of such requests.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this ‎Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for retention of such Party’s own Information, to retain all Information in their respective possession or control at the Effective Time until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained in accordance with the policies of OSG as in effect at the Effective Time or such other policies as may be adopted by OSG after the Effective Time (provided, in the case of INSW, that OSG notifies INSW of any such change), (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened Action that is known to members of either the INSW Group or the OSG Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threated investigation by a Governmental Authority that is known to members of the INSW Group or OSG Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Distribution, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the INSW Group or the OSG Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” by the other Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9.01 of the Employee Matters Agreement will govern the retention of employment and benefits related records.

6.5 Limitations of Liability. Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Party providing such Information. Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party if any Information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such first Party to comply with the provisions of Section ‎6.4.

6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

(a) The rights and obligations granted under this ‎Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Any party that receives, pursuant to a request for Information in accordance with this ‎Article VI, Tangible Information that is not relevant to its request shall (i) return it to the providing Party or, at the providing Party’s request, destroy such Tangible Information and (ii) deliver to the providing Party written confirmation that such Tangible Information was returned or destroyed, as the case may be, which confirmation shall be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Party.

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

6.8 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 Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the respective members of the INSW Group and the OSG Group, and that each of the respective members of the INSW Group and the OSG Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith.

(b) Post-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the INSW Group or the OSG Group, as the case may be. With respect to such services, the Parties agree as follows:

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

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

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain Information is Privileged Information, then such Information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such Information unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in ‎Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates (A) solely to the INSW Business, (B) solely to the OSG Business or (C) to both.

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

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

(e) In the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between INSW and OSG, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section ‎6.8(c), provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the Action or Dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any other member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than ten (10) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section ‎6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of INSW and OSG set forth in this Section ‎6.8 and in Section ‎6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

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

6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section ‎6.10, from and after the Effective Time, each of INSW and OSG, on behalf of itself and each other member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to OSG’s confidential and proprietary Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary Information concerning any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary Information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary Information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of such first Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such first Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary Information or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential Information of any member of such first Party’s Group. If any confidential and proprietary Information of one Party or any other member of its Group is disclosed to any member of the other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Information addressed in Section ‎6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), and except in compliance with Section ‎6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such Information in that is Tangible Information (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

(c) Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary Information of, or personal Information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and a member of the other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by a member of the other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the other members of its Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary Information of, or personal Information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among the members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

6.10 Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any other member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Information of any member of the other Party’s Group that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such Information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the Information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such Information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

6.11 Intellectual Property Matters.

(a) Name Change Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as set forth in Schedule ‎6.11, OSG is not conveying ownership rights or granting INSW a license to use the OSG Name and OSG Marks and, after the Effective Time, INSW shall not use in any manner the OSG Name and OSG Marks or any word that is likely to cause confusion therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OSG hereby grants INSW a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use the OSG Name and OSG Marks by INSW in connection with existing marketing, promotional and sales materials, stationary, letterhead, business cards, signs, advertisements, vessel and equipment markings, invoices, purchase orders and forms, provided that INSW cease such use of the OSG Name and OSG Marks on the first commercially reasonable opportunity to do so following the Effective Time; and provided further that INSW’s use of the OSG Name and OSG Marks in connection with the INSW Business will be in compliance with customary industry practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, INSW hereby covenants and agrees that as soon as reasonably practicable, INSW shall, and shall cause each applicable member of the INSW Group to (i) change its legal name to a name that neither includes the word “OSG”, nor uses the OSG Name and OSG Marks, and (ii) take such actions as may be necessary to cause any INSW Permits held by each such entity to refer to such new legal name and to eliminate the word “OSG” and any references to the OSG Name and OSG Marks.

(b) Licenses to INSW.

(i) Subject to Section ‎6.9, effective as of the Effective Time, OSG does hereby grant INSW and the INSW Group a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license under the CHOPS Software and under such Software listed on Schedule 6.9(b) to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, display, publish, create derivative works based on and otherwise commercially exploit the CHOPS Software; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate OSG to deliver any further information or tangible materials to INSW (beyond any other requirement in this Agreement). All improvements, enhancements, modifications, inventions, additions, derivative works or upgrades made by INSW to any of the CHOPS Software (“INSW Improvement ”) and any Intellectual Property rights arising therefrom or embodied therein shall be owned exclusively by INSW. INSW shall have no obligation to provide OSG with the physical embodiment of any INSW Improvement.

(ii) Subject to Section ‎6.9, effective as of the Effective Time, and excluding any trademarks or service marks, with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by OSG or any member of the OSG Group as of the Effective Time that is used by or necessary to the operation of the INSW Business as of the Effective Time, OSG does hereby, and shall cause the applicable members of the OSG Group to, grant INSW and the INSW Group a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license under such Intellectual Property to use, reproduce, publish, display, perform, make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import or otherwise exploit, solely in connection with the INSW Business, any product, process, work or service; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate OSG to deliver any further information or tangible materials to INSW (beyond any other requirement in this Agreement).

(c) License to OSG. Subject to Section ‎6.9, effective as of the Effective Time, and excluding any trademarks or service marks, with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by INSW or any member of the INSW Group as of the Effective Time that is used by or necessary to the operation of the businesses of OSG or any member of the OSG Group as of the Effective Time, INSW does hereby, and shall cause the applicable members of the INSW Group to, grant OSG and the OSG Group a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license under such Intellectual Property to use, reproduce, publish, display, perform, make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import or otherwise exploit, solely in connection with the businesses of OSG or any member of the OSG Group, any product, process, work or service; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate INSW to deliver any further information or tangible materials to OSG (beyond any other requirement in this Agreement).

Article VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Subject to Section ‎7.4, either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are INSW Assets, any Liabilities are INSW Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Initial Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of vice president and who have authority to settle the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice or if a Party reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by this Section ‎7.1, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section ‎7.2.

7.2 Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section ‎7.1 shall, at the written request of a Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to nonbinding mediation in accordance with the then-current International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure, except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in (a) New York, New York or (b) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. The Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, then a Party may request (on written notice to the other Party), that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the CPR Mediation Procedure. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section ‎7.3.

7.3 Arbitration.

(a) In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section ‎7.2, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (the “Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the CPR Mediation Procedure. The arbitration shall be held in the same location as the mediation pursuant to Section ‎7.2. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section ‎7.3 will be decided (i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $2 million, or (ii) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $2 million or more.

(b) If the arbitration will be before a panel of three (3) arbitrators, the arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the CPR Arbitration Procedure. In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the CPR Arbitration Procedure. If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree on a sole independent arbitrator, then upon written application by either Party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the CPR Arbitration Procedure.

(c) The arbitrator(s) will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which it (or they) deem(s) proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and attorneys’ fees and costs; provided that the arbitrator(s) will not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties and, in any event, will not award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, consequential, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim). Upon selection of the arbitrator(s) following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant to Section ‎7.4, the arbitrator(s) may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the Parties will seek modification or rescission of the order entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The initiation of mediation or arbitration pursuant to this ‎Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

7.4 Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ‎Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section ‎7.1, Section ‎7.2 and Section ‎7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Section ‎7.2 and Section ‎7.3 if (i) such Party has submitted a Mediation Request or Arbitration Request, as applicable, and the other Party has failed, within the applicable periods set forth in Section ‎7.3, to agree upon a date for the first mediation session to take place within thirty (30) days after the appointment of such mediator or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing or (ii) the other Party has failed to comply with Section ‎7.3 in good faith with respect to commencement and engagement in arbitration. In such event, the first Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the CPR Arbitration Procedure.

7.5 Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Group to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

Article VIII
FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

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

(c) On or prior to the Effective Time, INSW and OSG in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of the members of their Groups, shall each ratify any actions which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by INSW, OSG or any of the members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

8.2 Non-Solicitation; No Hire; Non-Compete.

(ii) the ownership by a Party or any member of its Group, directly or indirectly, of less than five percent (5%) of any class of the securities of any Person traded on a national or international securities exchange; or

(iii) the conduct by a Party and any member of its Group of oceangoing vessels engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products operating internationally in the U.S. Maritime Security Program or the U.S. Military Sealift Command in a manner generally consistent with the manner in which such business is conducted or could be conducted as of the date hereof.

(b) In the event that a Party or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, such Party shall cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section ‎8.2.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that (i) the covenants set forth in this Section ‎8.2 are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for these covenants, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and (ii) this Section ‎8.2 constitutes an independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) It is the intention of the Parties that if any restriction or covenant contained in this Section ‎8.2 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such restriction or covenant shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such restriction or covenant would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section ‎8.2 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in this Section ‎8.2) that would be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

8.3 Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime Rate plus two percent (2%).

8.4 Inducement. INSW acknowledges and agrees that OSG’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by INSW’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including the assumption by members of the INSW Group of the INSW Liabilities to be assumed by them pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and INSW’s covenants and agreements contained in ‎Article IV.

8.5 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in ‎Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.
