Neither the Separation, the Distribution nor any assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of employees as contemplated by Article III shall be deemed a termination of employment or service of any Lithium Participant or Parent Participant or a Parent Change in Control or Lithium Change in Control for purposes of the Parent Equity Plan or the Lithium Equity Plan, or any Adjusted Parent Award or Lithium Award outstanding thereunder, respectively, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent Parent determines it necessary or desirable, each Parent RSU, Parent PRSU or Parent Option, as the case may be, shall be amended to expressly clarify the same.

(c) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, (i) the applicable member of the Lithium Group shall be responsible for all applicable income, payroll, employment and other similar tax withholding, remittance and reporting obligations in respect of Lithium Participants relating to any Lithium Awards and (ii) the applicable member of the Parent Group shall be responsible for all applicable income, payroll, employment and other similar tax withholding, remittance and reporting obligations in respect of Parent Participants relating to any Adjusted Parent Awards or Lithium Awards. The parties shall facilitate performance by the other party of its obligations hereunder by promptly remitting amounts withheld in respect of any Adjusted Parent Awards or Lithium Awards, as applicable, directly to the applicable Governmental Authority on such other party’s behalf or to the other Party for remittance to such Governmental Authority. The parties will cooperate and communicate with each other and with third-party providers to effectuate withholding and remittance of taxes, as well as required tax reporting, in a timely, efficient and appropriate manner.

(d) The Company shall be responsible for the settlement of cash dividend equivalents on any Lithium Awards held by a Lithium Participant, and Parent shall be responsible for the settlement of cash dividend equivalents on any Adjusted Parent Awards or Lithium Awards held by a Parent Participant or Former Parent Employee; provided that, with respect to Lithium Awards held by Parent Participants, prior to the date any such settlement is due, the Company shall pay Parent in cash amounts required to settle any dividend equivalents accrued following the Distribution Effective Time.

(e) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Parent Awards converted into Lithium Awards pursuant to this Article VIII and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the Distribution Effective Time and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement covering such Lithium Awards (and to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as any Lithium Awards remain outstanding.

(f) Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, each party shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Parent Common Stock (including Adjusted Parent Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) or acquisitions of Company Common Stock (including Lithium Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Distribution or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent or who are or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. With respect to those individuals, if any, who, subsequent to the Distribution Effective Time, are or become subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, the Company shall administer any Adjusted Parent Award converted into a Lithium Award pursuant to this Article VIII in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent such converted Adjusted Parent Award complied with such rule prior to the Distribution Effective Time.

(g) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the orderly administration of the Lithium Awards held by Parent Participants, including, without limitation, the sharing of information relating to a Parent Participant’s employment or service status with the Parent Group, as well as other information relating to the vesting and forfeiture of Lithium Awards, tax withholding and reporting and compliance with applicable Law.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Delayed Transferred Employees whose employment is not transferred to the Lithium Group on or prior to the Distribution Effective Time, any Adjusted Parent Awards held by such Delayed Transferred Employees shall be adjusted as of the Distribution Effective Time in the manner set forth in Section 8.04 (and not in accordance with Section 8.03), and such awards shall not be further adjusted upon the date such Delayed Transferred Employee’s employment is transferred to the Lithium Group.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Distribution occurs as a result of a “split-off”, then, solely to the extent necessary, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to make any necessary changes to the adjustment and conversion mechanics set forth in Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 for the limited purpose of preserving (i) the general approach, philosophy and economic intent of such provisions as set forth herein and (ii) the intended U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transactions to Parent, and the other terms set forth in this Article VIII shall apply mutatis mutandis.
