Section 2.1 Restructuring; Transfer of Assets; Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) At or prior to the Separation Effective Time, each of Remainco and Spinco shall complete the Internal Restructuring, including by taking the actions referred to in Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) below, in accordance with the Separation Plan and the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of Remainco’s other obligations in this Agreement, Remainco shall cause Spinco, immediately following the Internal Restructuring and prior to the Separation Effective Time, to own (directly or through another wholly owned Subsidiary of Spinco), free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances under the Spinco New Debt, applicable securities laws or any indebtedness for borrowed money of Remainco or any member of the Remainco Group that may be outstanding as of the Separation Effective Time but which indebtedness for borrowed money is terminated and released as of the Effective Time), all of the equity interests in each of the members of the Spinco Group listed on Schedule 2.1(a) and not, unless RMT Partner shall otherwise agree in writing (whose agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to have any other Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.5 shall not be deemed to excuse Remainco’s performance of its obligation pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b) At or prior to the Separation Effective Time (it being understood that some of such Transfers may occur following the Separation Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.2 or Section 2.5), in connection with the Internal Restructuring, Remainco shall, and shall cause the applicable Asset Transferors to, as applicable, transfer, contribute, distribute, assign and/or convey or cause to be transferred, contributed, distributed, assigned and/or conveyed (“Transfer”) to (i) the respective Remainco Asset Transferees, all of the applicable Asset Transferors’ right, title and interest in and to the Remainco Retained Assets (to the extent not then already owned or held by a Remainco Asset Transferee) and (ii) Spinco and/or the respective Spinco Asset Transferees, all of its and the applicable Asset Transferors’ right, title and interest in and to the Spinco Assets (to the extent not then already owned by a member of the Spinco Group); and Remainco and Spinco, as applicable, shall cause the applicable Remainco Asset Transferees and Spinco Asset Transferees, as applicable, to accept from Remainco and the applicable members of the Remainco Group, and Spinco and the applicable members of the Spinco Group, as applicable, all of Remainco’s and the other members of the Remainco Group’s and Spinco’s and the other members of the Spinco Group’s, as applicable, respective direct or indirect rights, title and interest in and to the applicable Assets allocated to each of them.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Separation Effective Time, (i) Remainco shall, or shall cause a member of the Remainco Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill, in accordance with their respective terms (“Assume”), all of the Remainco Retained Liabilities and (ii) Spinco shall, or shall cause a member of the Spinco Group to, Assume all of the Spinco Liabilities (or to the extent already a Liability of the Spinco Group, retain), in each case, regardless of (A) when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, (B) whether the facts upon which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Separation Effective Time, (C) where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined, (D) whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, violation of Legal Requirement, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, as the case may be, or any of their past or present respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (E) which Entity is named in any Legal Proceeding associated with any Liability.

(d) In connection with the Internal Restructuring and in exchange for the Spinco Contribution, at or prior to the Separation Effective Time, Spinco shall (i) issue to Intermediateco additional shares of Spinco Common Stock such that the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock (together with such shares previously held by Intermediateco) shall be equal to the number of shares of common stock of Remainco outstanding as of the Record Date, which shares as of the date of issuance shall represent all of the issued and outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock, and (ii) make the Cash Payment to Intermediateco.

(e) It is understood and agreed that certain of the Remainco Retained Assets, Remainco Retained Liabilities, Spinco Assets and Spinco Liabilities, as applicable, may already be retained by the Remainco Group or Spinco Group, as applicable, as of the Separation Effective Time and, as a result, in such cases, no additional Transfers or Assumptions, as applicable, by any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties agree that, as of the Separation Effective Time, each of Spinco and Remainco, as applicable, shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of their respective Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto (subject to Section 2.2 and Section 2.5(a)), and shall be deemed to have Assumed (or retained Liability for, as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) The Parties further agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Separation Plan, no Assets or Liabilities of any Entity that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary shall be Transferred or Assumed via an asset transfer pursuant to Section 2.1, but instead any Transfer or Assumption with respect to such Entity shall be implemented by means of a Transfer of the equity interests in such Entity pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Shared Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b):

(a) Each Shared Contract set forth on Schedule 2.2(a) shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, at or after the Separation Effective Time, so that each of Remainco or Spinco or the members of their respective Group as of the Separation Effective Time shall be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall Assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to their respective Businesses; provided, however, that

(x) in no event shall any member of any such Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended without Consent of the counterparty to effect an assignment or other transfer) by its terms (including any terms imposing Consent requirements or conditions on an assignment or amendment where such Consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled, subject to Section 2.5), and

(y) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, cannot be amended or has not for any other reason been assigned or amended, or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, (A) at the reasonable request of Remainco or Spinco (or the member of such Party’s Group) to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part, Remainco or Spinco, as applicable, for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Remainco Retained Asset or Spinco Asset shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, for a period ending not later than twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Effective Time, take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause such member of the Spinco Group or the Remainco Group, as the case may be, to receive the benefit of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Spinco Business or the Remainco Retained Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related) as if such Shared Contract had been assigned (or amended to allow such assignment) to a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.2 and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement) as if such Liabilities had been Assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.2; and (B) the Party to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into a separate Contract pursuant to which it procures such rights and obligations as are necessary such that it no longer needs to avail itself of the arrangements provided pursuant to this Section 2.2(a); provided that, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Remainco Retained Asset or Spinco Asset, and such Party’s applicable Subsidiaries’ shall not be liable for any actions or omissions taken in accordance with clause (y) of this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Each of Remainco and Spinco 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 as of the Separation 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 Legal Requirement or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Parties that all Contracts (or categories of Contracts or services) with counterparties that provide enterprise-wide corporate overhead services set forth on Schedule 2.2(c), and any related benefits or services, to the Spinco Group (whether or not primarily related to the Spinco Business) prior to the Separation Effective Time, shall not be Transferred to the Spinco Group and shall be deemed Remainco Retained Assets.

Section 2.3 Intercompany Accounts. Each Intercompany Account shall be satisfied or settled in full in cash or otherwise terminated (in each case with no further Liability, including in respect of Taxes on Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group) by the relevant members of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group no later than the Separation Effective Time in each case, with no further liability or obligation of any member of either the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, in a manner determined by Remainco.

Section 2.4 Intercompany Contracts. No member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group shall be liable to any member of the other Group based upon, arising out of or resulting from any Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between or among it and any member of the other Group existing at or prior to the Separation Effective Time (other than, pursuant to any Continuing Arrangements, any Third-Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 4.1(b) or pursuant to any other Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) and Remainco and Spinco, on behalf of the themselves and each member of their Group, hereby terminates any and all Contracts, arrangements, courses of dealing or understandings between or among it or any member of its Group and any member of the other Group effective as of the Separation Effective Time (other than any Continuing Arrangements, any Third-Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 4.1(b) or pursuant to any Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby).

Section 2.5 Transfers of Assets Not Effected at or Prior to the Separation Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Separation Effective Time.

(a) To the extent that any Transfers contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Separation Effective Time, Remainco and Spinco shall use reasonable best reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers as promptly following the Separation Effective Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets which by their terms or operation of Legal Requirements cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that each of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to seek and obtain, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, any necessary Consents or Governmental Authorizations for the Transfer of all Assets contemplated to be Transferred pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and each of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group shall pay fifty percent of any cost required to be paid to a third party to obtain any such Consents or Governmental Authorizations unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties (including RMT Partner), it being understood that any fees to be paid by the Spinco Group shall be borne by the RMT Partner Group after the Effective Time. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets has not been consummated, from and after the Separation Effective Time, the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto). In addition, the Party retaining such Asset (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such Asset in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in the same position as if such Asset had been Transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset, are to inure from and after the Separation Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset. If and when the Consents, Governmental Authorizations and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset pursuant to this Section 2.5(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer of the applicable Asset shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.1) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement. The Parties’ obligations under this Section 2.5(a) shall terminate on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Effective Time; provided, that if, on or before the last day of such twenty-four (24) month period, RMT Partner provides written notice to Remainco of any such Asset that is unable to be Transferred to any member of the Spinco Group as of the end of such period (and none of the Spinco Group or the RMT Partner Group has materially breached any of their obligations set forth in Section 2.5 with respect to such Asset), the Parties’ obligations under this Section 2.5(a) solely with respect to such identified Asset, shall continue (i) with respect to each such Asset other than a Contract, until that Asset is no longer usable, and (ii) with respect to each such Asset that is a Contract, until that Contract expires or terminates in accordance with its terms (as in effect at the Separation Effective Time).

(b) In retaining any Asset due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset pursuant to Section 2.5(a), Remainco or Spinco (or relevant member of its Group) shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of, in connection with and relating to such retained Asset (but, in the case of this clause (ii), only to the extent constituting a Spinco Liability (in the case of indemnification by the Spinco Group) or a Remainco Retained Liability (in the case of indemnification by the Remainco Group) and not in connection with the existence of the arrangement providing for such sharing).

(c) With respect to Assets described in Section 2.5(a), each of Remainco and Spinco shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party (or applicable member of its Group) entitled to such Assets as of the Separation Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Legal Requirements or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

(d) Without limiting the foregoing provisions with respect to Transfers pursuant to this Article II, Remainco and Spinco acknowledge that certain other Consents or Governmental Authorization may be required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements (including those with respect to Spinco Assets that are already held by the Spinco Group as the date of this Agreement). Remainco and Spinco agree to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any such Consents or Governmental Authorizations prior to the Separation Effective Time.

(d) Each of Remainco and Spinco agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause the respective members of their respective Groups to take, prior to the Separation Effective Time (or as soon as possible thereafter), all actions necessary to amend all Contracts governing the Remainco Accounts so that such Remainco Accounts, if currently linked to any Spinco Account, are de-linked from such Spinco Accounts.

(e) With respect to any outstanding checks issued by Remainco, Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Separation Effective Time, such outstanding checks shall be honored from and after the Separation Effective Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn, without limiting the ultimate allocation of Liability for such amounts under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

Section 2.7 Permits. The Remainco Group shall cooperate with the Spinco Group and Remainco shall use its reasonable best efforts to finalize or effectuate the transfer of a Permit to the Spinco Group that is designated as a Spinco Asset and that is not already Transferred to a member of the Spinco Group as of the Distribution Date. The Spinco Group shall cooperate with the Remainco Group and shall use its reasonable best efforts to finalize or effectuate the transfer of a Permit to the Remainco Group that is designated as an Remainco Retained Asset and that is not already Transferred to a member of the Remainco Group as of the Distribution Date. If any Permit cannot be transferred then until such Permit terminates in accordance with its terms, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to develop and implement arrangements to pass along to the Spinco Group or Remainco Group, as applicable, the ability to continue to operate the Spinco Business or the Remainco Retained Business, as applicable, as presently conducted under the terms of any such Permit. Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement (the provisions of which shall control with respect to the parties’ agreements regarding and the obtainment of Governmental Authorizations and Consents thereunder), each of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to seek and obtain, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, any necessary Consents or Governmental Authorizations for the Transfer of all Permits contemplated to be Transferred pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and each of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group shall pay fifty percent of any cost required to be paid to a third party to obtain any such Consents or Governmental Authorizations unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties (including RMT Partner), it being understood that any fees to be paid by the Spinco Group shall be borne by the RMT Partner Group after the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that this Section 2.7 does not apply to Permits that are Spinco Assets and are already held by the Spinco Group as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.8 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments reasonably necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to its Transferred Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of Liabilities it has Assumed for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, in such form as is reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including the Transfer of owned real property by deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as required by the jurisdiction in which the owned real property is located. All Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments shall be prepared, executed and delivered in a manner reasonably approved by each of the Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments shall not contain (i) any indemnities that conflict with this Agreement or (ii) any representations or warranties, except to the extent required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, and, to the extent that any provision of a Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument does conflict with any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to equity and, only to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirement, by notation on public registries.

In no event shall either Party (A) communicate (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to communicate) with the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication or (B) make (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) a written submission to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm unless a copy of such submission is simultaneously provided to the other Party. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm shall have forty-five (45) days following submission of the Parties’ rebuttals to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 3.4 and to deliver its reasoned written determination with respect to each of the Disputed Items submitted to it for resolution, as well as its determination of each component of the Adjustment Amount that was a Disputed Item. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm shall resolve Disputed Items submitted to it based solely on the information provided to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and not by independent review. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm’s authority shall be limited to resolving disputes with respect to whether the individual Disputed Items were prepared in accordance with Schedule 3.4(a) and otherwise in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The resolution of such Disputed Items by the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm (1) shall be set forth in writing, (2) shall be within the range of the greatest value claimed by Remainco and Spinco and the smallest value claimed by Remainco and Spinco and (3) shall constitute an arbitral award. The determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm in respect of each Disputed Item shall be final, conclusive and binding on Remainco and Spinco and (absent manifest error or fraud) not subject to appeal by either of the Parties, and judgment thereof may be entered or enforced in any of the Chosen Courts or, if none of those courts have jurisdiction, any court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) The fees and expenses, if any, of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm incurred in connection with the Closing Statement shall be allocated between the Parties based upon the inverse of the ratio which the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items awarded to Spinco bears to the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items contested by Spinco. For example, if Spinco claims that the Spinco Indebtedness is $1,000 greater (in Spinco’s favor) than the Spinco Indebtedness determined by Remainco, and if the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the Disputed Items by awarding to Spinco $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm will be allocated 30% (i.e., $300 ÷ $1,000) to Remainco and 70% (i.e., $700 ÷ $1,000) to Spinco.

(c) Final Adjustment. The Adjustment Amount, as finally (other than with respect to Unfunded Pension Liabilities) determined using the amounts of the Closing Working Capital, the Spinco Cash Amount, the Spinco Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses finally determined pursuant to Sections 3.4(a) and (b), as applicable (whether by failure of Spinco to deliver a Notice of Objection, by agreement of Remainco and Spinco or by determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, as applicable) and an estimated amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities equal to $92,000,000, is referred to herein as the “Final Adjustment Amount”. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities is to be finally determined pursuant to Sections 3.4(e) and (f), as applicable, and for purposes of the Final Adjustment Amount, the estimated amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities of $92,000,000 shall be used and its inclusion in the Final Adjustment Amount shall in no way impugn the final determination of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities pursuant to Sections 3.4(e) and (f), as applicable.

(d) Not later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, a payment by wire transfer in respect thereof shall be made as follows:

(i) In the event the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then such amount shall be paid by Spinco to a bank account designated in writing by Remainco; and

(ii) In the event the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the absolute value of such amount shall be paid by Remainco to a bank account designated in writing by Spinco.

Any payment pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) shall be treated to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes as either (i) in the case of a payment pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(i), a distribution by Spinco to Remainco, or (ii) in the case of a payment pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(ii), a non-taxable contribution by Remainco to Spinco, in each case, made immediately prior to the Spin-Off and shall be made in immediately available funds in United States dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Party entitled to receive the payment.

(e) Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable following the final determination of the Section 414(l) Amount (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement) pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement, but no later than thirty days after such final determination, Remainco shall prepare and deliver to Spinco a written statement for Spinco’s review, prepared in accordance with Schedule 3.4(a) and otherwise calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles, as applicable (the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement”), setting forth Remainco’s good-faith calculations of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities, together with reasonable supporting detail.

(ii) Each Party shall make available to the other Party and its Representatives, and, upon reasonable notice requested in writing, all books, records, documents, personnel and work papers in the possession of such Party and reasonably requested in writing by such other Party in connection with the preparation and review of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement, the determination of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities, the preparation of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection and the other matters contemplated by this Section 3.4.

(f) Disputes.

(i) In the event Spinco disputes the correctness of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities as set forth in the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement, Spinco shall deliver to Remainco a reasonably detailed written statement describing each objection (with reference to the applicable account description) and specifying the amount that Spinco reasonably believes is the correct amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities (such statement, the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection”) within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement, and shall set forth, in writing and in reasonable detail, the reasons for Spinco’s objections.

(ii) If Spinco does not deliver an Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection before the conclusion of the ninety (90)-day period referred to in Section 3.4(f)(i), the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and Spinco shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement. Remainco and Spinco, together with their respective actuaries that were appointed under Section 5.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement, shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any dispute regarding the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities within sixty (60) days after Remainco’s receipt of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection (the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Resolution Period”).

(iii) If Remainco and Spinco, together with their respective actuaries that were appointed under Section 5.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement, are unable to resolve the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities during the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Resolution Period, Remainco and Spinco jointly shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, engage an actuary which is mutually acceptable to Spinco and Remainco (which, to the extent a third actuary was selected by Remainco and RMT Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Employee Matters Agreement, shall be the same actuary) (the actuary so engaged, the “Unaffiliated Actuary”), to resolve the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities in a manner consistent with this Section 3.4. Promptly after joint engagement of the Unaffiliated Actuary, Remainco and Spinco shall provide the Unaffiliated Actuary with a copy of this Agreement, the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement and the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection and all other documentary materials and analyses that Spinco or Remainco, as applicable, believes may be relevant to resolution of the dispute. Each of Remainco and Spinco shall deliver to the Unaffiliated Actuary and to the other Party simultaneously a written submission of its final position with respect to the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities (which position may not be outside of the range between the greatest value for such item and the smallest value for such item, as set forth in the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement and the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection), within ten (10) Business Days of the engagement of such Unaffiliated Actuary. Each of Remainco and Spinco shall thereafter be entitled to submit a rebuttal to the other’s submission, which rebuttals shall be delivered to the Unaffiliated Actuary and to the other Party simultaneously within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of the Parties’ initial submissions to the Unaffiliated Actuary and to each other. Neither Party may make (nor permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) any additional submission to the Unaffiliated Actuary or otherwise communicate with the Unaffiliated Actuary (unless reasonably requested by the Unaffiliated Actuary to clarify the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities and agreed by the Parties). In no event shall either Party (A) communicate (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to communicate) with the Unaffiliated Actuary without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication or (B) make (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) a written submission to the Unaffiliated Actuary unless a copy of such submission is simultaneously provided to the other Party. The Unaffiliated Actuary shall have forty-five (45) days following submission of the Parties’ rebuttals to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 3.4 and to deliver its reasoned written determination with respect to the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities. The Unaffiliated Actuary shall resolve the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities based solely on the information provided to the Unaffiliated Actuary by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and not by independent review. The Unaffiliated Actuary’s authority shall be limited to resolving disputes with respect to whether the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities were prepared in accordance with Schedule 3.4(a) and otherwise in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The resolution of the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities by the Unaffiliated Actuary (1) shall be set forth in writing, (2) shall be within the range of the greatest value claimed by Remainco and Spinco and the smallest value claimed by Remainco and Spinco and (3) shall constitute an arbitral award. The determination of the Unaffiliated Actuary in respect of the amount of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities shall be final, conclusive and binding on Remainco and Spinco and (absent manifest error or fraud) not subject to appeal by either of the Parties, and judgment thereof may be entered or enforced in any of the Chosen Courts or, if none of those courts have jurisdiction, any court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) The fees and expenses, if any, of the Unaffiliated Actuary incurred in connection with the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Statement shall be allocated between the Parties based upon the inverse of the ratio which the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities awarded to Spinco bears to the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities contested by Spinco. For example, if Spinco claims that the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities is $1,000 higher (in Spinco’s favor) than the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities determined by Remainco, and if the Unaffiliated Actuary ultimately resolves the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities by awarding to Spinco $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Unaffiliated Actuary will be allocated 30% (i.e., $300 ÷ $1,000) to Remainco and 70% (i.e., $700 ÷ $1,000) to Spinco.

(g) Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment. The Adjustment Amount, as finally determined using the amounts of the Closing Working Capital, the Spinco Cash Amount, the Spinco Indebtedness and the Transaction Expenses finally determined pursuant to Sections 3.4(a) and (b), as applicable (whether by failure of Remainco to deliver a Notice of Objection, by agreement of Remainco and Spinco or by determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, as applicable) and the amount of Unfunded Pension Liabilities finally determined pursuant to Sections 3.4(e) and (f), as applicable (whether by failure of Spinco to deliver an Unfunded Pension Liabilities Notice of Objection, by agreement of Remainco and Spinco or by determination of the Unaffiliated Actuary, as applicable), is referred to herein as the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount”. If the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount, the amount of such excess is referred to as the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Excess Amount.” If the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount is less than the Final Adjustment Amount, the amount of such shortfall is referred to as the “Unfunded Pension Liabilities Shortfall Amount.”

(h) Not later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount, a payment by wire transfer in respect thereof shall be made as follows:

(i) In the event the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount results in an Unfunded Pension Liabilities Excess Amount, then the amount of such Unfunded Pension Liabilities Excess Amount shall be paid by SpinCo to a bank account designated in writing by Remainco; and

(ii) In the event the Unfunded Pension Liabilities Adjustment Amount results in an Unfunded Pension Liabilities Shortfall Amount, then the amount of such Unfunded Pension Liabilities Shortfall Amount shall be paid by Remainco to a bank account designated in writing by Spinco, for further distribution by Spinco to the applicable Defined Benefit Pension Plans.

Any payment pursuant to this Section 3.4(h) shall be treated to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes as either (i) in the case of a payment pursuant to Section 3.4(h)(i), a distribution by Spinco to Remainco or (ii) in the case of a payment pursuant to Section 3.4(h)(ii), a non-taxable contribution by Remainco to Spinco, in each case, made immediately prior to the Spin-Off and shall be made in immediately available funds in United States dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Party entitled to receive the payment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement, including Section 4.1(a), Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, shall impair or otherwise affect any right of any Party and, as applicable, a member of such Party’s Group, as well as their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, pursuant to or contemplated by, or ability to enforce, this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings contemplated in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or to recover for any breach or violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof that are to be performed after, or survive, the Separation Effective Time. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) shall release any Person (including any of the Parties or any other member of their respective Groups) from any of the following, and for the avoidance of doubt, none shall constitute Remainco Released Liabilities or a Spinco Released Liabilities):

(i) any Liability Assumed, Transferred or allocated to a Party or a member of such Party’s Group pursuant to or as contemplated by, or any other Liability of any member of such Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement including (A) with respect to Remainco, any Remainco Retained Liability and (B) with respect to Spinco, any Spinco Liability;

(ii) any Liability provided for in or resulting from any other Contract or understanding that is entered into after the Separation Effective Time between any Party (and/or a member of such Party’s or Parties’ Group), on the one hand, and any other Party or Parties (and/or a member of such Party’s or Parties’ Group), on the other hand;

(iii) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or indemnification, payment or allocation of liability under any Ancillary Agreement, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and, in particular, this Article IV and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iv) any Liability the release of which would result in a release of any Person other than the Persons released in Section 4.1(a); provided that the Parties agree not to bring any Legal Proceeding or permit any other member of their respective Group to bring any Legal Proceeding against a Person released in Section 4.1(a) with respect to such Liability; and

(v) the obligation of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to perform their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(e) The release in this Section 4.1 includes a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that each Party and each member of such Party’s Group, and its successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In this connection, each Party hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and each such Party nevertheless hereby intends to release the Persons described in Section 4.1(a) from the Liabilities described in Section 4.1(a).

Section 4.2 Indemnification by Remainco. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Separation Effective Time, Remainco shall to the fullest extent permitted by law indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Spinco Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Spinco Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Remainco Retained Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Remainco Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Remainco Retained Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether arising prior to, at or after the Separation Effective Time; (b) any Remainco Retained Asset or Remainco Retained Business, whether arising prior to, at or after the Separation Effective Time; (c) any breach after the Separation Effective Time by Remainco, or any member of the Remainco Group, of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder; (d) any amendments, modifications or supplementations to the Separation Plan made by Remainco prior to the Separation Effective Time; (e) any breach by Remainco of any covenant or other agreement contained in the Merger Agreement, which, by its terms, is to be performed after the Effective Time or expressly survives under the Merger Agreement; (f) any matter set forth on Schedule 4.2(f), subject to the terms and limitations set forth on such Schedule; and (g) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.7(c), the matters set forth on Schedule 4.2(g).

(b) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or reasonably expects to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which shall include copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim (and in any event within the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days within such Indemnitee receiving notice of such Third-Party Claim or (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third-Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notices and documents of shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c) Other than in the case of indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.11(d) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 4.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (x) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, after consultation with outside counsel, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s) in the defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party, (y) the party making such Third-Party Claim is a Governmental Body with regulatory or other authority over the Indemnitee or any of its material assets or (z) the Third-Party Claim seeks injunctive or other non-monetary relief that, if granted, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s business; provided further, that (other than with respect to any indemnification provided in Section 4.2(f)), Spinco shall have the right to assume the defense or control of any Third-Party Claim involving any Spinco Asbestos Product Liability or Spinco Environmental Matter, and in the case of any Spinco Environmental Matter undertake or take over any associated environmental investigation, monitoring or remediation activities, with counsel, consultants or contractors of recognized standing and competence selected by Spinco and reasonably acceptable to Remainco. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent materials and information (subject to Section 5.7 as applicable) in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. To the extent permitted by law, no Indemnifying Party shall settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of a Legal Requirement.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party does not (or is not entitled to) assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 4.4, such Indemnitee may defend such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee all witnesses, pertinent materials and information (subject to Section 5.7 as applicable) in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee. To the extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.6 or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or the Merger Agreement, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article IV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party or member of its Group for any monetary damages or Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and each Party expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Party or any member of its Group may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article IV against any Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that this Section 4.4(e) shall not limit any equitable remedies available to any Party under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 4.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third-Party Claim that implicates two or more Parties in any respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the applicable Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will appropriately preserve for all Parties any applicable Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third-Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.5(a) shall derogate from any Party’s rights to control the defense of any Legal Proceeding in accordance with Section 4.4.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, or the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Effective Time, with respect to any Legal Proceeding by a Governmental Body or any other Legal Proceeding against, or involving, any Spinco Group member or a notice, report or filing to be submitted to any Governmental Body with regulatory authority over the Remainco Retained Business (i) where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing occurred (in whole or in part) prior to the Separation Effective Time and (ii) that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Remainco Retained Businesses, Remainco, unless not permitted by law, shall be provided reasonably prompt notice of any disclosure or submission and have, at Remainco’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by or on behalf of Spinco or RMT Partner to any third party involved in such Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing (including any Governmental Body) and Spinco shall in good faith take into consideration or incorporate, as applicable, all such consultations, advice and comments. To the extent that such Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing involves any Privileged Information or potentially Privileged Information or material in any way, such Privileged Information or material will only be submitted in accordance with Section 5.7. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), which may include matters indemnifiable under Section 4.2, Remainco shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto to the extent permitted by law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Effective Time, with respect to any Legal Proceeding by a Governmental Body or any other Legal Proceeding against, or involving, any Remainco Group member or a notice, report or filing to be submitted to any Governmental Body with regulatory authority over the Spinco Business (i) where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing occurred (in whole or in part) prior to the Separation Effective Time and (ii) that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Spinco Businesses, Spinco, unless not permitted by law, shall be provided reasonably prompt notice of any disclosure or submission and have, at Spinco’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by or on behalf of Remainco to any third party involved in such Legal Proceeding, notice, report or filing (including any Governmental Body) and Remainco shall in good faith take into consideration or incorporate, as applicable, all such consultations, advice and comments.

With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), which may include matters indemnifiable under Section 4.3, Spinco shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto to the extent permitted by law.

(d) The Parties each agree that at all times from and after the Separation Effective Time, if a Legal Proceeding is or has been commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a defendant and/or such Legal Proceeding is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to request such defendant to be removed from such Legal Proceeding, as soon as reasonably practicable, and to cooperate with the Party that has Assumed to such Liability to permit such Party to control the defense or settlement of such matter following the Separation Effective Time.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is understood that this Section 4.5 does not pertain to securityholder litigation relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, which is subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

Section 4.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article IV shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss is actually incurred and reasonably satisfactory documentation setting for the basis of any such payments shall be provided to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 4.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IV shall be calculated net of (i) Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such amount under Self-Insurance) or (ii) any indemnification or other similar proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article IV to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IV shall be reduced by any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall 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 such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to collect or recover, or at the option of the Indemnifying Party allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds or other proceeds from another unaffiliated third party that may be collectible or recoverable in respect of the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article IV (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amounts available under the Indemnifying Party’s own Self-Insurance arrangements); provided, however, that in no event shall a Party have any obligation under this Section 4.7 to assert any claim, action or proceeding against any material customer, material supplier, material licensor or employee of the Indemnitee (whether or not the Party has been indemnified under this Agreement).

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any Indemnifiable Losses of the Spinco Indemnitees payable by Remainco to Spinco pursuant to Schedule 4.2(g) of this Agreement shall be satisfied: (i) first, from Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds and (ii) second, from Remainco for fifty percent (50%) of such Indemnifiable Losses of up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) (it being understood that RMT Partner shall bear the cost of the other fifty percent (50%) of such Indemnifiable Losses of up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) and any amounts above fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Remainco be obligated to pay, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000) pursuant to this Section 4.7(c); provided that nothing in this Section 4.7(c) is intended to prohibit Remainco or Spinco or any member of their respective Groups from pursuing any rights they may have against third persons for any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds that may be available with respect to the matters set forth on Schedule 4.2(g). Remainco shall have no indemnification obligations under Schedule 4.2(g), Section 4.2(g) or this Section 4.7(c) to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses result from (i) any change in the use of real property to non-industrial purposes or (ii) an investigation of environmental conditions at the location described on Schedule 4.2(g), involving physically invasive testing procedures such as soil and groundwater sampling, undertaken by or for the Spinco Indemnitees, other than any such investigation (A) affirmatively required pursuant to Legal Requirements or demanded by a Governmental Body, (B) reasonably determined by Spinco in good faith to be necessary in connection with any bona fide construction, maintenance, repair or demolition activity (including expansion of any facility) at the location described on Schedule 4.2(g) where such construction, maintenance or repair does or would reasonably be expected to require access to, or disturbance of, soil or groundwater, (C) in response to an emergency situation, or (D) reasonably necessary to defend a Third Party Claim.

Section 4.8 Covenant not to Xxx. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it or the 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 of any Spinco Liabilities by Spinco or a member of the Spinco Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Remainco Retained Liabilities by Remainco or any member of the Remainco Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

Section 4.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each Party and their Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving any Party or any of its Subsidiaries. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to payment and indemnification more than once with respect to the same matters (including to the extent taken into account as a dollar amount in the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount).

(a) Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing Records or access to Information to another Party under this Article V shall be entitled to receive from the Party receiving such Records or access to Information, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall include the costs of any discovery vendor but shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing), as are reasonably and actually incurred in providing such Records or access to Information.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise required or agreed upon in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 5.3, each Party shall use reasonable best efforts, at such Party’s sole cost and expense, to retain, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to the applicable record retention policy of Remainco or such other member of the Remainco Group, respectively, as in effect immediately prior to the First Distribution, including pursuant to any “litigation hold” issued by Remainco or other such member of the Remainco Group prior to the First Distribution, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirement, (iii) the concluding date of any retention obligation for such Information that relates to a pending or threatened Legal Proceeding which is known to the members of such Party’s Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information, and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information would reasonably be expected to interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Body which is known to the members of such Party’s Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding arising after the Effective Time, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the applicable Party or its 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 Legal Proceeding. The Parties hereto agree that from and after the Effective Time, upon written request from the other Party that certain Information relating to the Spinco Business, the Remainco Retained Businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with a Legal Proceeding, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party (for the avoidance of doubt, reasonable best efforts shall include issuing a “litigation hold”).

(c) The Parties intend that any transfer between Remainco and Spinco (including between their attorneys, Representatives and agents), of Information that is subject to the protections of the attorney-client or attorney work product privileges shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege and will be completed in accordance with Section 5.7.

Section 5.2 Financial Statements and Accounting. Each of (x) the members of the Remainco Group and (y) the members of the RMT Partner Group agrees to provide the following reasonable assistance and, subject to Section 5.6, reasonable access to its properties, Records, other Information and personnel set forth in this Section 5.2, from the Effective Time until the fourth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Applicable Period”) (i) in connection with the preparation and review or audit of such Party’s quarterly and annual financial statements, and the timely filing of such financial statements and the audit of such Party’s internal controls over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof and management’s assessment of such Party’s disclosure controls and procedures, if required, and (ii) to the extent reasonably necessary to respond (and for the limited purpose of responding) to any written request or official comment from a Governmental Body, such as in connection with responding to a comment letter from the Commission. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Applicable Period, each Party agrees as follows:

(a) Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements and subject to Section 5.6 and Section 5.7, (i) each of Remainco and RMT Partner shall authorize and request its respective auditors to make reasonably available to the other Party’s auditors (the “Other Party’s Auditors”) both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of such audited Party (each Party with respect to its own audit, the “Audited Party”) and work papers related to the annual audits of such Audited Party (subject to the execution of any reasonable and customary access letters that such Audited Party’s auditors may require in connection with the review of such work papers by such Other Party’s Auditors), in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Audited Party’s auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Party’s Auditors are able to perform the procedures they reasonably consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Audited Party’s auditors as it relates to their auditors’ report on such other Party’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the filing of its annual financial statements with the Commission and (ii) until all governmental audits relating to the Spinco Business are complete, RMT Partner and Remainco will provide reasonable access during normal business hours for the other Group’s internal auditors, counsel and other designated Representatives for matters relating to such audits, including, in the case of RMT Partner, to (x) the premises of the Spinco Group and all Information (and duplicating rights) within the knowledge, possession or control of the RMT Partner and its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Group) in respect of the Spinco Business and (y) the officers and employees of RMT Partner and its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Group) in respect of the Spinco Business, so that Remainco may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements in relation to the Spinco Business.

(b) Without limitation of Section 5.6, nothing in this Article V shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary Information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 5.2 to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s written consent to the disclosure of such Information.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that Information provided under this Section 5.2 may constitute material, non-public Information, and trading in the securities of a Party (or the securities of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or partners) while in possession of such material, non-public material Information may constitute a violation of the U.S. federal securities laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a third party pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify in writing (to the extent permissible by Legal Requirements) the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party which faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take reasonable best steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information. Further, as to Privileged Information nothing in this Section 5.6 replaces or diminishes the Parties’ obligations and limitations set forth in Section 5.7.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or members of its Group were part of the same Group. From and after the Effective Time, each Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group to comply, and shall cause its and their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors and other Representatives to comply, with all terms and conditions of any such third-party agreements entered into prior to the Separation Effective Time, with respect to any confidential and proprietary Information of third parties to which it or any other member of its Group has had access.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.6, (i) the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 5.7, and (ii) Information that is subject to any confidentiality provision or other disclosure restriction in any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.7 Privilege Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that:

(i) Legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Separation Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group, and that each of the members of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-separation services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Legal Requirements, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (“Privilege”). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Privileged Information which relates to pre-separation services rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of Remainco Group and the Spinco Group. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 5.7 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.

(ii) Legal and other professional services will be provided following the Separation Effective Time to each of Remainco and Spinco. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-separation services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Remainco or Spinco, as the case may be, while other such post-separation services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters for the benefit of both Remainco and Spinco.

(b) The Parties agree, notwithstanding the definition of Spinco Assets, as follows:

(i) Remainco shall be deemed, in perpetuity, to own and control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Remainco Retained Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of Spinco or RMT Partner or a member of their respective Group, agent, or Representative of either. Remainco shall also be deemed, in perpetuity, to own and control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Remainco Retained Liabilities resulting from any Legal Proceedings that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under control of Spinco or RMT Partner or a member of their respective Group, agent, or Representative of either.

(ii) RMT Partner shall be deemed, in perpetuity, to own and control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Spinco Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of Remainco or RMT Partner or a member of their respective Group, agent, or Representative of either. RMT Partner shall also be deemed, in perpetuity, to own and control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Spinco Liabilities resulting from any Legal Proceedings that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under control of Remainco or RMT Partner or a member of their respective Group, agent, or Representative of either.

(iii) If Remainco and RMT Partner do not agree as to whether certain Information is Privileged Information, then the Information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and that Party who believes 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 utilize the procedures set forth in Article VII and Section 8.14 to resolve any disputes as to whether any Information relates solely to the Remainco Retained Business, solely to the Spinco Business, or to both the Remainco Retained Business and the Spinco Business.

(c) Subject to Sections 5.7(d) and 5.7(e), and applicable Legal Requirements, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all communications identified in Section 5.7(a) as to which such communications are not otherwise allocated pursuant to Section 5.7(b), and all privileges and immunities relating to any Legal Proceeding, claims, disputes, or other matters that involve both Remainco and RMT Partner (or one or more of the members of their respective Group).

(d) The Parties agree that no shared privilege or immunity, as defined in Sections 5.7(a) and 5.7(c), may be waived by either Party or any member of its respective Group without the consent of the other Party.

(e) If any dispute arises between Remainco and RMT Partner, or the members of their respective Group, regarding whether a shared privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or the members of their respective Group, each such Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other applicable Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party or any of the members of its Group; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not (and shall cause each member of its Group not to), without the other Party’s consent, agree to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(f) Upon receipt by RMT Partner or any member of its Group of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which Remainco or any member of the Remainco Group has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity or if RMT Partner obtains knowledge that it or any member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees has received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, RMT Partner shall promptly provide notice to Remainco of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to Remainco no later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request, in each case, by RMT Partner or any member of its Group) and shall provide Remainco with a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it or they may have, including under this Section 5.7 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Upon receipt by Remainco or by any member of the Remainco Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which RMT Partner or any member of the RMT Partner Group has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity or if Remainco obtains knowledge that it or any member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees has received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, Remainco shall promptly provide notice to RMT Partner of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to RMT Partner no later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide RMT Partner with a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it or they may have, including under this Section 5.7 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(h) The Parties agree that they have or may in the future have common legal interests in the Remainco Retained Liabilities and any corresponding legal rights, in the Spinco Liabilities and any corresponding legal rights, in Privileged Information described in Section 5.7(a) and in the preservation of the protected status of such Privileged Information. The Parties agree that any disclosure or exchange of such Privileged Information between and among themselves in order to further the Parties’ common legal interests shall not waive any applicable privilege or immunity.

(i) Any furnishing of, or access to, Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Remainco, RMT Partner and/or Spinco set forth in Section 5.6 and this Section 5.7 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties further agree that (i) the exchange by Remainco or RMT Partner (or any member of its respective Group) to the other Party (or any member of its Group) of any Privileged Information that should not have been transferred pursuant to the terms of this Article V or Section 1.1(108)(ix) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such Privileged Information; and (ii) the Party receiving (or for which a member of its Group has received) such Privileged Information shall promptly return such Privileged Information to the Party (or the applicable member of its Group) who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.

(j) In furtherance of, and without limitation to, the Parties’ agreement under this Section 5.7, Remainco and RMT Partner shall, and shall cause the applicable members of their respective Groups to, use reasonable best efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities.

(k) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation 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 third parties. The Parties agree to treat such Information as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 5.6, including, but not limited to obtaining appropriate protective orders and sealing of the Information to protect the Privilege as to others. The Parties agree to protect Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity to prevent waivers as to third parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(l) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Remainco, RMT Partner and/or Spinco as set forth in Section 5.6 and this Section 5.7, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Sections 4.5, 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 5.4 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 4.5 hereof, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective members of their Group 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.

(m) The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall become effective as of the Effective Time.

Section 5.8 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any member of its Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article V shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party (or member of its Group). Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 5.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article V are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

Article VI

INSURANCE

Section 6.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) Remainco shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Spinco Business to continue to be an insured under the Remainco’s Insurance Policies until the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, except as expressly provided herein, the Spinco Group and the Spinco Business shall cease to be insured under the Remainco Insurance Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, RMT Partner and Spinco shall be responsible for securing all Insurance Policies that RMT Partner considers appropriate for the Spinco Business and the operation thereof by the Spinco Group. Each RMT Partner and Spinco agrees, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Groups, from and after the Separation Effective Time, not to seek through any means to benefit from and not to assert any right, claim or interest in, to or under, any Insurance Policies of any member of the Remainco Group, except as permitted under Section 6.1(c).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, for any claim asserted against Spinco, RMT Partner or any other member of the RMT Partner Group or Spinco Group after the Separation Effective Time arising out of any occurrence, claim, loss, injury or damage taking place prior to the Separation Effective Time (“Post-Closing Claims”), each of RMT Partner and Spinco and each other member of their respective Groups may seek coverage under any Remainco Insurance Policies issued by a third party providing coverage on an occurrence basis in place prior to the Separation Effective Time, including defense and indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such Remainco Insurance Policies under which Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group is insured (such policies or programs, the “Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies”) for such claims (it being understood that any retrospective premiums, deductibles, retentions or similar self-insured obligations under the Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies arising from any insurance claims by or on behalf of any member of the Spinco Group under the Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies shall be borne by a member of the RMT Partner Group). From and after the Separation Effective Time, Spinco, RMT Partner or any other member of the RMT Partner Group may submit a direct Post-Closing Claim for coverage under the Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies to the extent permitted under the applicable Remainco Insurance Policy (provided that, Spinco shall provide Remainco a copy of such claim promptly following submission to the applicable insurer and thereafter promptly provide reasonable details of all communications from and to such insurer with respect to such claim). In addition, to the extent Spinco, RMT Partner or any other member of each of their respective Groups requests, Remainco will (or will cause the applicable Remainco Group member) to submit in its name a Post-Closing Claim for coverage under the Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies on behalf of Spinco, RMT Partner or any other member of their respective Groups. In either such event, Remainco or the applicable Remainco Group member, on the one hand, and RMT Partner or such other members of the RMT Partner Group, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate with one another and Remainco will not and will not permit the applicable Remainco Group member to settle or compromise any such Post-Closing Claim without the prior written consent of RMT Partner. RMT Partner shall reimburse Remainco and the other Remainco Group members for any cost or expenses incurred by it in such submission of a claim. In no event will Remainco be obligated to initiate coverage litigation, other than any such litigation of which RMT Partner bears the cost and expense. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate on aspects of insurance coverage litigation for a Post-Closing Claim involving with Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies. In the event that a Post-Closing Claim relates to the same occurrence for which Remainco or its Subsidiaries is seeking coverage under Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies, and the limits under an applicable Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policy are not sufficient to fund all covered claims of Spinco, RMT Partner or any other member of the RMT Partner Group (as applicable) and Remainco or its Subsidiaries (as applicable), amounts due under such a Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policy shall be paid to the respective Entities in proportion to the amounts which otherwise would be due were the limits of liability infinite. If so requested by Remainco, Spinco shall promptly enter into assumption agreements (and provide for letters of credit or other collateral arrangements as required by such assumption agreements), required by any insurers under such Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies for the purpose of transferring, or acknowledging and accepting the transfer of, the liabilities and obligations of Remainco with respect to the Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies to the extent related to the Spinco Business, including all liabilities with respect to the payment, reimbursement and indemnification obligations for losses, deductibles, retrospective premiums, retained amounts, administration, allocated loss adjustment expenses and the provision of collateral. To the extent any such assumption agreements contemplated by the preceding sentence are entered into, and Remainco actually receives a refund of premium as a result of Spinco assuming the applicable portion of the polic(ies) as between Remainco, Spinco and the applicable insurer, Remainco shall offset against the amounts due from Spinco in respect of Spinco’s portion of any Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policies the amount of such premium refund actually received.

(d) Nothing in this Section 6.1 will be construed to alter or limit in any way the indemnity obligations of the Parties, including those in this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

(e) Nothing in Section 6.1 shall prevent any member of the Remainco Group from accessing, eroding, exhausting or otherwise taking any action in connection with a Remainco Insurance Policy; provided, however that Remainco shall not amend, commute or cancel any Pre-Closing Occurrence-Based Policy in a manner that would adversely impact the rights of RMT Partner, Spinco or any member of their respective Groups under this Section 6.1.

(f) From and after the Effective Time, each Party shall be financially responsible for Self-Insurance obligations for any and all insurance coverage claims for which the Party bears responsibility for the underlying claim, including without limitation Post-Closing Covered Claims.

(g) At Remainco’s sole discretion, Remainco shall either (i) maintain the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, fiduciary liability insurance policies or employment practices liability insurance policies covering any directors and officers, fiduciaries or employees of the Spinco Group in effect immediately prior to the Separation Effective Time for a period of six (6) years following the Separation Effective Time or (ii) Remainco shall procure, at Remainco’s sole cost and expense, a prepaid, non-cancelable “tail” insurance policy for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Separation Effective Time, in either case contemplated by clause (i) or (ii), containing terms not less favorable than the terms of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance or employment practices liability insurance covering any directors and officers, fiduciaries or employees of the Spinco Group who are covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance or employment practices liability insurance policies of Remainco and its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Group) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. If any claim is asserted or made within such six (6)-year period, then any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 6.1(g) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

Article VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 7.1 Negotiation.

(a) Each Party shall appoint a representative who shall be responsible for administering this dispute resolution provision (the “Appointed Representative”) after the Closing. The Appointed Representative shall have the authority to resolve any such disputes.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event of a controversy, dispute or claim after the Closing arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (but, for the avoidance of doubt, specifically excluding the Merger Agreement where any disputes under the Merger Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to the terms thereof) (collectively, the “Agreement Disputes”), the Appointed Representatives shall negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period of time to settle such Agreement Dispute; provided, however, that (i) such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by the relevant Parties in writing, exceed ninety (90) calendar days from the time of receipt by a Party of written notice of such Agreement Dispute and (ii) the relevant employees from both Parties with knowledge and interest in the dispute shall first have tried to resolve the differences between the Parties. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Agreement Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

(c) The Parties agree that (i)(i) this Article VII is included for the convenience of the Parties, (ii) no Party shall have any Liability for any breach of this Article VII and (iii) no breach of, or failure to comply with this Article VII shall affect any of the rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including the right to have the dispute resolved pursuant to Section 8.14.

Article VIII

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of (a) this Agreement and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, such Ancillary Agreement shall control (except with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, in which case this Agreement shall control) and (b) this Agreement and any agreement which is not an Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments are intended to be ministerial in nature and only to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the applicable local jurisdiction and shall not expand or modify the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that are not Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments.

Section 8.3 Survival. The covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed following the Separation Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Separation Effective Time in accordance with their terms, the obligations of the Parties under Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.19(d) shall survive the Separation Effective Time, and all other covenants and agreements herein and therein shall terminate and shall not survive the Separation Effective Time.

A copy of any notice from Remainco to Spinco, or from Spinco to Remainco, prior to the Separation Effective Time shall be provided to RMT Partner in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 8.5.

Section 8.6 Waiver.

(a) No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party would otherwise have.

(b) No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party and, in the case of waivers by Remainco or Spinco or any of their Subsidiaries, consented to in writing by RMT Partner; and any waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Section 8.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that a Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement: (i) as collateral security to a creditor,(ii) to one of its Affiliates or (iii)(A) in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or (B) in the case of RMT Partner or Spinco in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Spinco Business or the business unit of which it is a part; provided, however, that in each case, no such assignment shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations. Any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by any Party in violation of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties shall be void and of no effect.

Section 8.8 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate without further action at any time before the Separation Effective Time upon termination of the Merger Agreement. If so terminated, no Party shall have any Liability of any kind to any other Party or any other Person on account of this Agreement, except as provided in the Merger Agreement.

Section 8.9 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized Representative of each of the Parties. Remainco and Spinco shall ensure that no amendment to any Ancillary Agreement shall be made prior to the Separation Effective Time without the prior written consent of RMT Partner.

Section 8.10 Payment Terms.

(a) Except as set forth in Article IV or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, to the other Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within 30 days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.

(b) Without the consent of the Party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Remainco or Spinco under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in U.S. dollars shall be converted into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 p.m. Central Time two days prior to the relevant date or in The Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement may be denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.11 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any of its Subsidiaries (including Spinco and its Subsidiaries with respect to (a) Remainco prior to the Separation Effective Time and (b) the RMT Partner following the Effective Time).

Section 8.12 Third-Party-Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article IV relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 4.1 of any Person provided therein, and (ii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.13 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

Section 8.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In any Legal Proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby: (a) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Legal Requirements, the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such matter, in any federal court in the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Legal Requirements, neither such court has subject matter jurisdiction over such matter, in any other state court in the State of Delaware, and in each case any appellate court with jurisdiction therefrom (the “Chosen Courts”); (b) each of the Parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury; and (c) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, any claim (i) that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts as described herein for any reason; (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts; and (iii) that (x) the claim, action, suit or other Legal Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum; (y) the venue of such claim, action, suit or other Legal Proceeding is improper; or (z) this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the Parties further agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, service of any process, summons, notice or document in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5 will be effective service of process for any claim, action, suit or other Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in this paragraph. The Parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such claim, suit, action or other Legal Proceeding will be conclusive, subject to any appeal, and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without the requirement for the posting of any bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 8.15 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision (or part thereof) in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision (or part thereof), to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision (or part thereof), and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision (or part thereof) with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 8.16 No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to any recoveries that may arise out of ARTICLE IV).

Section 8.17 Tax 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 applicable Legal Requirement, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as either (i) a non-taxable contribution by Remainco to Spinco, or (ii) a distribution by Spinco to Remainco, in each case, made immediately prior to the Spin-Off. Any Indemnity Payment made by a Party under this Agreement shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect of Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the recipient Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

Section 8.18 Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties hereto that Remainco, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Remainco Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 8.18 to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Restructuring and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 8.18 have not acted as counsel for Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Restructuring and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 8.18 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Spinco hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Spinco Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Separation Effective Time in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Restructuring and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Remainco and Spinco or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 8.18 may represent any or all of the members of the Remainco Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Remainco Group may be directly adverse to those of the Spinco Group. Spinco further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Spinco Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Restructuring and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Remainco or the applicable member of the Remainco Group and may be controlled by Remainco or such member of the Remainco Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group.

(i) Any payment to be made pursuant hereto shall be made in U.S. dollars and by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(j) Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Agreement to “Remainco” shall also be deemed to refer to the applicable member of the Remainco Group, references to “Spinco” shall also be deemed to refer to the applicable member of the Spinco Group and, in connection therewith, any references to actions or omissions to be taken, or refrained from being taken, as the case may be, by Remainco or Spinco shall be deemed to require Remainco or Spinco, as the case may be, to cause the applicable members of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, respectively, to take, or refrain from taking, any such action.
