If, and to the extent, the amount of any such Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit so determined i) relates to an adjustment of Income Taxes that do not constitute a Spinco Separate Tax Liability, and ii) results in (or can reasonably be expected to result in) a Tax Benefit or Tax Detriment to Parent or any Parent Affiliate in a Post-Distribution Period attributable to a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax basis of any Parent or Parent Affiliate asset or liability, then not later than 45 days after such Final Determination is made, Parent shall pay to Spinco the amount of any such Tax Detriment, or Spinco shall pay to Parent the amount of any such Tax Benefit, as appropriate.

(b) Permanent Items.

i) Not later than 30 days after any Final Determination is made with respect to any Combined Return for any Tax period for which Parent or any Parent

Affiliate is the Preparing Party, Parent shall determine the amount of any Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit attributable to the adjustment of any permanent Tax Items reported (or required to be reported) on such Combined Return. If, and to the extent, the amount of any such Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit so determined relates to an adjustment of Income Taxes that constitute a Spinco Separate Tax Liability, then not later than 45 days after such Final Determination is made, Spinco shall pay to Parent the amount of any such Tax Detriment, or Parent shall pay to Spinco the amount of any such Tax Benefit, as appropriate.

ii) Not later than 30 days after any Final Determination is made with respect to any Combined Return for any Tax period for which Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate is the Preparing Party, Spinco shall determine the amount of any Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit attributable to the adjustment of any permanent Tax Items reported (or required to be reported) on such Combined Return. If, and to the extent, the amount of any such Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit so determined relates to an adjustment of Income Taxes that do not constitute a Spinco Separate Tax Liability, then not later than 45 days after such Final Determination is made, Parent shall pay to Spinco the amount of any such Tax Detriment, or Spinco shall pay to Parent the amount of any such Tax Benefit, as appropriate.

iii) A Party shall be required to make payment under this Section 2.7(b) only to the extent the cumulative amount of all payments otherwise required to be made by such Party under Sections 2.7(b)(i) and 2.7(b)(ii), net of the cumulative amount of all payments such Party is otherwise entitled to receive from the other Party under Sections 2.7(b)(i) and 2.7(b)(ii), exceeds the greater of a) $2,000,000 or, b) the sum of $2,000,000 and the net amount (after the application of Section 2.7(b)(iv) below) of all payments previously made by such Party under this Section 2.7(b).

iv) If subsequent to the time a Party makes a payment under this Section 2.7(b), a Final Determination is made with respect to any Combined Return which would have had the effect of reducing the required amount of such payment if such Final Determination were made prior to such payment, then the other Party which received such payment shall make a payment to such Party in an amount equal to such reduction.

i) For purposes of Section 2.7, the Parties agree that the extent to which any Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit is treated as being attributable to either a permanent adjustment or a temporary adjustment shall be made in a manner consistent with past historical practice of the Parent Consolidated Group.

ii) For purposes of determining any amount due under this Section 2.7, any foreign Taxes shall be translated into U.S. dollars using the same exchange rate as is used for purposes of translating the income statement of the relevant entity for the month in which the Tax is assessed.

iii) Any Tax Detriment or Tax Benefit determined under this Section 2.7 shall be calculated by applying the applicable corporate Income Tax rate in effect for the relevant Tax period in the relevant jurisdiction.

2.8 Tax Refunds. Except as provided in Section 2.9 and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.7:

(a) Parent shall be entitled to all refunds (including refunds paid by means of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities) and credits with respect to any Tax for which Parent is responsible under Section 2.1. Spinco shall be entitled to all refunds (including refunds paid by means of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities) and credits with respect to any Tax for which Spinco is responsible under Section 2.1.

(b) Spinco and Parent shall each forward to the other party, or reimburse such other party for, any refunds received by the first party and due to such other party pursuant to this Section 2.8. Where a refund is received in the form of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities, reimbursement with respect to such refund shall be due in each case on the due date for payment of the Tax against which such refund has been credited. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the amount being paid.

(c) If one party reasonably so requests, the other party (at the first party’s expense) shall file for and pursue any refund to which the first party is entitled under this Section; provided that the other party need not pursue any refund on behalf of the first party unless the first party provides the other party a certification by an appropriate officer of the first party setting forth the first party’s belief (together with supporting analysis) that the Tax treatment of the Tax Items on which the entitlement to such refund is based is more likely than not correct, and is not a Tax Item arising from a Reportable Transaction.

(d) If the other party pays any amount to the first party under this Section 2.8 and, as a result of a subsequent Final Determination, the first party is not entitled to some or all of such amount, the other party shall notify the first party of the amount to be repaid to the other party, and the first party shall then repay such amount to the other party, together with any interest, fines, additions to Tax, penalties or any additional amounts imposed by a Taxing Authority relating thereto.

2.9 Carrybacks.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Spinco shall file (or cause to be filed) on a timely basis any available election to waive the carryback of net operating losses, Tax credits or other Tax Items by Spinco or any Affiliate from a Post-Distribution Tax Period to a Straddle Period or Pre-Distribution Tax Period. Such elections shall include, but not be limited to, the election described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-21(b)(3)(ii)(B), and any analogous election under state, local, or foreign Income Tax laws, to waive the carryback of net operating losses for federal Income Tax purposes.

(b) If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(a), Spinco is required to carryback losses or credits, Spinco shall be entitled to any refund of any Tax obtained by Parent

or a Parent Affiliate as a result of the carryback of losses or credits of Spinco or its Affiliate from any Post-Distribution Tax Period to any Pre-Distribution Tax Period. Such refund is limited to the net amount received by Parent or a Parent Affiliate (by refund, offset against other Taxes, or otherwise), net of any Tax Detriment incurred by Parent or such Affiliate resulting from such refund. Upon request by Spinco, Parent shall advise Spinco of an estimate of any Tax Detriment Parent projects will be associated with any carryback of losses or credits of Spinco or its Affiliates as provided in this Section 2.9(b).

(c) If Spinco has a Tax Item that must be carried back to any Pre-Distribution Tax Period, Spinco shall notify in writing Parent that such Tax Item must be carried back. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail of the ground for the refund and the amount thereof, and a certification by an appropriate officer of Spinco setting forth Spinco’s belief (together with supporting analysis) that the Tax treatment of such Tax Item is more likely than not correct, and is not a Tax Item arising from a Reportable Transaction.

(d) If Parent pays any amount to Spinco under Section 2.9(b) and, as a result of a subsequent Final Determination, Spinco is not entitled to some or all of such amount, Parent shall notify Spinco of the amount to be repaid to Parent, and Spinco shall then repay such amount to Parent, together with any interest, fines, additions to Tax, penalties or any additional amounts imposed by a Taxing Authority relating thereto.

2.10 Timing of Certain Payments.

(a) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Article II (other than payments specified in Section 2.5(b), Section 2.6(b), or Section 2.7(c)(ii)) shall be made by the party obligated to make such payment (i) in the case of a refund of Tax, within fourteen (14) days after receipt (whether by way of payment, credit, or offset against any payments due or otherwise) of such refund or (ii) in the case of a payment of Tax, the later of (x) fourteen (14) days prior to the due date for payment of such Tax and (y) the delivery of written demand for the payment hereunder to the party obligated to make such payment hereunder.

(b) All payments and demands for payment shall be accompanied by a calculation setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the amount paid or demanded.

2.11 Treatment of Restricted Stock, Stock Options, and Deferred Compensation.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, Parent (or the appropriate Parent Affiliate) shall claim all Tax deductions arising by reason of the grant or vesting of Employee Restricted Stock, and by reason of exercises of Employee Stock Options, at the time such Tax deduction can be claimed, provided that such Employee Restricted Stock or Employee Stock Option is then held by a Parent Employee. To the extent permitted by law, Spinco (or the appropriate Spinco Affiliate) shall claim all Tax deductions arising by reason of the grant or vesting of Employee Restricted Stock, and by reason of exercises of Employee Stock Options, at the time such Tax deduction can be claimed, provided that such Employee Restricted Stock or Employee Stock Option is then held by a Spinco Employee. To the extent permitted by law, Spinco (or the appropriate Spinco Affiliate) shall claim all Tax deductions arising by reason of the payment (or inclusion in income) of compensation the receipt of which was deferred by a Spinco Employee

prior to the Distribution Date, the payment of which will occur after the Distribution Date, and the obligation to make such payment is assumed by Spinco in connection with the Contribution and Distribution.

(b) The party (or Affiliate thereof) initially claiming the Tax deduction described in Section 2.11(a) shall withhold applicable Taxes and satisfy applicable Tax reporting obligations with respect to the taxation of the Employee Restricted Stock, Employee Stock Options, or deferred compensation with respect to which the Tax deduction is claimed. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate so as to permit the party initially claiming such deduction to discharge any applicable Tax withholding and Tax reporting obligations.

2.12 Successor Employer Status. Parent and Spinco shall, to the extent permitted by law, (i) treat Spinco and its Affiliates (as applicable) as a “successor employer” and Parent and its Affiliates (as applicable) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to employees of the Spinco Business that were employed by Spinco and its Affiliates starting on January 1, 2008 for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act and (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each such employee for the calendar year in which the Distribution occurs.

which Spinco is responsible pursuant to Article II. If Spinco remits a Tax payment pursuant to Section 3.1(c), but Parent is responsible pursuant to Article II for all or a portion of the Tax shown on the applicable Tax Return, then Parent shall pay to Spinco that portion of the Tax shown on such Tax Return for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Article II.

The Filing Party shall provide the Non-Filing Party with a draft of each such Income Tax Return at least 15 days prior to the due date for filing thereof.

The Filing Party and Non-Filing Party shall attempt in good faith mutually to resolve any disagreements regarding such Income Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing thereof; provided, that the failure to resolve all disagreements prior to such date shall not relieve the Filing Party of its obligation to file (or cause to be filed) any such Income Tax Return.

3.3 Certain Items Related to Tax Return Preparation.

(a) Unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority, the parties hereby agree to prepare and file all Tax Returns, and to take all other actions, in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the Separation Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or applicable law, any Tax Ruling, Ruling Documents, Tax Opinion, or Representation Letter. All Tax Returns shall be filed on a timely basis (taking into account applicable extensions) by the party responsible for filing such Tax Returns under this Agreement; provided, that if a Tax Return is to be signed by an officer of a company different from the party responsible for filing such Tax Return, each party hereto shall have (or cause its Affiliate to have) the appropriate officer sign such Tax Return promptly after presentation thereof for signature.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, Parent shall have the exclusive right, in its reasonable discretion, with respect to any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the filing thereof pursuant to this Agreement, to determine (i) the manner in which such Tax Return shall be prepared and filed, including the accounting methods, positions, conventions and principles of taxation to be used and the manner in which any Tax Item shall be reported; (ii) whether any extensions may be requested; (iii) the election(s) that will be made by Parent, any Parent Affiliate, Spinco, or any Spinco Affiliate on such Tax Return; (iv) whether any amended Tax Return(s) shall be filed; (v) whether any claim(s) for refund shall be made; (vi) whether any refund shall be paid by way of refund or credited against any liability for the related Tax; and (vii) whether to retain outside firms to prepare or review such Tax Returns; provided, that Parent shall (i) prepare all Tax Returns for which it has filing responsibility, to the extent such Tax Returns reflect activities of the Spinco Business, in a manner consistent with past Tax reporting practices with respect to the Spinco Business, except as required by law or

regulation, and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless Spinco against any Tax Detriment to the extent such Tax Detriment is directly caused by any determination by Parent under this Section 3.3(b) which is inconsistent with past practice (if any).

Any changes in such Tax attributes or Tax bases arising thereafter shall be communicated by Parent to Spinco within 10 days after such change is made or there is a Final Determination of such change.

(d) Parent and Spinco agree to take (or refrain from taking) any action reasonably requested by the other that would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Benefit or avoid a Tax Detriment to the other, provided that such action does not result in any additional cost not fully compensated for by the requesting party. The parties hereby acknowledge that the preceding sentence is not intended to limit, and therefore shall not apply to, the rights of the parties with respect to matters otherwise covered by this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee or representation of the existence or amount of any loss, credit, carryforward, basis or other Tax Item or Tax Asset, whether past, present or future, of Parent, Spinco, or their respective Affiliates.

3.4 Tax Information Exchanges and Tax Services.

(a) Parent, with respect to those Income Tax Returns prepared by Spinco described in Sections 3.1(b)(i), and Spinco, with respect to those Income Tax Returns prepared by Parent described in Sections 3.1(a)(i) (in each case, the “Non-preparing Party”, and such other party the “Preparing Party”) shall provide the Preparing Party, no later than 45 days after the Distribution Date, a Tax Package for the purpose of preparing such Tax Return. The Non-preparing Party shall timely furnish to the Preparing Party such additional information and documents as the Preparing Party may reasonably request. The parties acknowledge that such information may include materials regarding accounting, accounting records, income and expense, costs and cost production, background, research and development, comparables, marketing, suppliers and customers, and other information regarding the Non-preparing Party’s business related to the Tax treatment of such business. Upon request by the Preparing Party, an appropriate officer of the Non-preparing Party shall provide written certification that, to such officer’s best knowledge and belief, all information provided pursuant to this Section 3.4 is accurate and complete in all material respects. The Non-preparing Party and its Affiliates shall also make available it employees and officers as the Preparing Party may reasonably request in connection with such Tax Return preparation by the Preparing Party.

(c) Plan or Series of Related Transactions. Spinco hereby represents and warrants that, to the knowledge of Spinco and the management of Spinco, neither the Contribution nor the Distribution are part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which a Person will acquire stock representing a fifty-percent or greater interest (within the meaning of Sections 355(d) and (e) of the Code) in Spinco or any successor to Spinco.

Until the first day after the Restriction Period, neither Spinco nor any Spinco Affiliate shall, or shall agree to, sell or otherwise issue to any Person, or redeem or otherwise acquire from any Person, any Equity Securities of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate; provided, however, that (i) Spinco may repurchase such Equity Securities to the extent that such repurchases meet the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to its modification by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (ii) Spinco may issue such Equity Securities to the extent such issuances satisfy Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX (relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(d), and (iii) Spinco may issue Equity Securities provided that such issuance does not, individually or when aggregated with other issuances and any transactions occurring in the four-year period beginning on the date which is two years before the Distribution Date, and with any other transaction which is part of a plan or series of related transactions (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) that includes the Distribution (excluding issuances of Equity Securities described in clause (ii) above, but including, for the avoidance of doubt, transactions described in Section 4.2(d) below), result in one or more Persons acquiring, directly or indirectly, (as determined under Section 355(e) of the Code, taking into account applicable constructive ownership rules) stock representing a 25% or greater interest, by vote or value, in Spinco (or any successor thereto).

interest, by vote or value, in Spinco (or any successor thereto). In addition, neither Spinco nor any Spinco Affiliate shall at any time, whether before or subsequent to the expiration of the Restriction Period, engage in any action described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence if it is pursuant to an arrangement negotiated (in whole or in part) prior to the first anniversary of the Distribution, even if at the time of the Distribution or thereafter such action is subject to various conditions.

(e) Dispositions of Assets. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, neither Spinco nor any Spinco Affiliate shall, or shall agree to, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 50% of the consolidated gross assets of Spinco, nor shall Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 50% of the consolidated gross assets of the Spinco Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Spinco and the members of the Spinco Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4.2(e), a merger of Spinco or one of its subsidiaries with and into any Person (other than Spinco or one of its subsidiaries) shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Spinco or such subsidiary.

(h) Permitted Transactions. Notwithstanding the restrictions otherwise imposed by Sections 4.2(c) through 4.2(g), during the Restriction Period, Spinco may (i) issue Equity Securities of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate in a transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth in Section 4.2(c), (ii) approve, participate in, support or otherwise permit a proposed business combination or transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth

(i) Supplemental Ruling; Tax Opinion; Financial Guarantee. Prior to entering into any agreement contemplating a transaction or action described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 4.2(h) and prior to consummating any such transaction or action: (A) Spinco shall request that Parent obtain a Supplemental Ruling in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and the Distribution and Parent shall have received such a Supplemental Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to Parent in its sole and absolute discretion or (B) Spinco shall provide Parent with an unqualified Tax Opinion from a nationally recognized independent tax advisor in form and substance satisfactory to Parent in its sole and absolute discretion (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Parent may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion) providing that such transaction or action will not affect the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and the Distribution. In addition, regardless of whether Spinco satisfies the requirement of this Section 4.2(i)(A) or Section 4.2(i)(B), Spinco shall also deliver to Parent an unconditional letter of credit or other financial guarantee, the form and terms of which (including, but not limited to, face amount, issuer, expiration date, terms of renewal, and drawdown rights) are acceptable to Parent, in its sole and exclusive judgment.

4.3 Supplemental Rulings and Restrictions on Spinco.

(a) Supplemental Rulings at Parent Request. Parent shall have the right to obtain a Supplemental Ruling in its sole and absolute discretion. If Parent determines to obtain a Supplemental Ruling, Spinco shall (and shall cause each Spinco Affiliate to) cooperate with Parent and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the Supplemental Ruling (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Authority; provided that Spinco shall not be required to make (or cause any Spinco Affiliate to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control). Parent shall reimburse Spinco for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Spinco or its Affiliates in obtaining a Supplemental Ruling requested by Parent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving an invoice from Spinco therefor. In connection with obtaining a Supplemental Ruling pursuant to this Section 4.3(a), (A) Parent shall keep Spinco informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Parent in connection therewith; (B) Parent shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any Supplemental Ruling Request, provide Spinco with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider Spinco’s comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide Spinco with a final copy of any Supplemental Ruling Request; and (C) Parent shall provide Spinco with notice reasonably in advance of, and Spinco shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with any Tax Authority (subject to the approval of the Tax Authority) that relate to such Supplemental Ruling.

(b) Supplemental Rulings at Spinco’s Request. Parent agrees that at the reasonable request of Spinco pursuant to Section 4.2(i), Parent shall (and shall cause each Parent Affiliate to) cooperate with Spinco and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Supplemental Ruling from the IRS for the purpose of confirming compliance on the part of Spinco or an Spinco Affiliate with its obligations under Section 4.2 of this Agreement. Further, in no event shall Parent be required to file any Supplemental Ruling Request under this Section 4.3(b) unless Spinco represents that (A) it has reviewed the Supplemental Ruling Documents and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate, contained in the Supplemental Ruling Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Spinco shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in obtaining a Supplemental Ruling requested by Spinco within ten (10) Business Days after receiving an invoice from Parent therefor. Spinco hereby agrees that Parent shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining a Supplemental Ruling, and that only Parent shall apply for a Supplemental Ruling. In connection with obtaining a Supplemental Ruling pursuant to this Section 4.3(b), (A) Parent shall keep Spinco informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Parent in connection therewith; (B) Parent shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any Supplemental Ruling Request, provide Spinco with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider Spinco’s comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide Spinco with a final copy of any Supplemental Ruling Request; and (C) Parent shall provide Spinco with notice reasonably in advance of, and Spinco shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with any Tax Authority (subject to the approval of the Tax Authority) that relate to such Supplemental Ruling.

(c) Prohibition on Spinco. Spinco hereby agrees that neither it nor any Spinco Affiliate shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) concerning the Contribution or the Distribution (or the impact of any transaction on the Contribution or the Distribution).

4.4 Liability for Undertaking Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Spinco shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and each of its Affiliates from and against any liability for Taxes that are attributable to or result from (i) any act or failure to act by Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate, which action or failure to act breaches any of the representations or covenants contained in Article IV hereof (without regard to the exceptions or provisos set forth in such provisions), expressly including, for this purpose, any Permitted Transactions and any act or failure to act that breaches Section 4.2(a) or 4.2(b), regardless of whether such act or failure to act is permitted by Section 4.2(c) through 4.2(g), and (ii) Tax counsel withdrawing all or any portion of the Tax Opinion or any Tax Authority withdrawing all or any portion of a private letter ruling issued to Parent in connection with the Contribution and/or the Distribution because of a breach by Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate of a representation made in this Agreement (or made in connection with the Tax Opinion or any Supplemental Ruling contemplated by Section 4.3(e)).

4.5 Cooperation.

(a) Without limiting the prohibition set forth in Section 4.3(c), until the first day after the Restriction Period, Spinco shall furnish Parent with a copy of any ruling request that Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate may file with the IRS or any other Tax Authority and any opinion received that in any respect relates to, or otherwise reasonably could be expected to have any effect on, the Tax-Free Status of any of the Contribution and the Distribution.

(b) Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Spinco in connection with any request by Spinco for an unqualified Tax Opinion pursuant to Section 4.2(i) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Spinco in obtaining an unqualified Tax Opinion pursuant to Section 4.2(i).

(c) Until the first day after the Restriction Period, Spinco shall provide adequate advance notice to Parent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.5(d) of any action described in Sections 4.2(a) through 4.2(g) within a period of time sufficient to enable Parent to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 4.6 in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Each notice required by Section 4.5(c) shall set forth the terms and conditions of any such proposed transaction, including, without limitation, (i) the nature of any related action proposed to be taken by the board of directors of Spinco, (ii) the approximate number of Equity Securities (and their voting and economic rights) of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate (if any) proposed to be sold or otherwise issued, (iii) the approximate value of Spinco’s assets (or assets of any Spinco Affiliate) proposed to be transferred, and (iv) the proposed timetable for such transaction, all with sufficient particularity to enable Parent to seek such injunctive relief. Promptly, but in any event within 30 days, after Parent receives such written notice from Spinco, Parent shall notify Spinco in writing of Parent’s decision to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 4.6.

(e) From and after the date Parent first requests a Supplemental Ruling pursuant to Section 4.3 until the first day after the two-year anniversary of such date that Parent receives such Supplemental Ruling (pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or 4.3(b)), neither Spinco nor any Spinco Affiliate shall take (or refrain from taking) any action to the extent that such action or inaction would have caused a representation given by Spinco in connection with any such request for a Supplemental Ruling to have been untrue as of the relevant representation date, had Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate intended to take (or refrain from taking) such action on the relevant representation date.

4.6 Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Article IV were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties hereto agree that, in order to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and the Distribution, injunctive relief is appropriate to prevent any violation of the foregoing covenants; provided, however, that injunctive relief shall not be the exclusive legal or equitable remedy for any such violation.

ARTICLE V

COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

5.1 Cooperation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Separation Agreement, Parent and Spinco shall cooperate (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to cooperate) fully at such time and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return or the conduct of any audit, dispute, proceeding, suit, or Tax action concerning any issues or any other matter contemplated hereunder. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation:

i) Compliance with the provisions of Section 3.4;

ii) The retention and provision on demand of books, records, documentation, information, or other materials relating to any Tax Return, or any supplemental information necessary or reasonably helpful to support any position taken therein, until the later of (x) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (giving effect to any extension, waiver, or mitigation thereof) and (y) in the event any claim has been made under this Agreement for which such information is relevant, the occurrence of a Final Determination with respect to such claim;

iii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the retention and provision on demand, of any books, records, documentation, information, or other materials necessary or reasonably helpful in sustaining any position (including, without limitation, any transfer pricing position) taken with any Taxing Authority including, without limitation, materials regarding accounting, income and expense, costs and cost production, background, research and development, comparables, marketing, suppliers and customers, and other information regarding the Spinco Business related to the Tax treatment of such business;

iv) The retention and provision of additional information with respect to an explanation of the manner in which any Tax Return or Tax Package was prepared and filed, and any additional information reasonably helpful in explaining the materials provided under clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 5.1 until the other party provides written notice that such material may be destroyed;

v) The execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with the filing of any Tax Return by Parent or its Affiliates or Spinco or its Affiliates, or in connection with any audit, proceeding, refund claim, suit, or action for any such Tax Return; and

vi) The use of the parties’ reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation from a governmental authority or a third party that may be necessary or helpful in connection with the foregoing;

Each party shall make its employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis, without cost to the other party, to facilitate such cooperation. In addition, upon 48 hours’ notice, each party shall have the option to use its own employees or agents to view or obtain the materials contemplated in this Section 5.1 from the other party’s facilities on a mutually convenient basis.

(b) Any materials contemplated under Section 5.1(a) and Section 3.4 shall be provided whether or not such material is or may be confidential or proprietary. If, however, the providing party determines in good faith that any materials are confidential or proprietary, the providing party may require the requesting party to enter into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such materials, not inconsistent with the purposes for which the party made the request for information. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other party if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentially for its own similar information.

(c) Parent shall advise Spinco with respect to any Final Determination of Tax adjustments relating to the Parent Consolidated Group if such Final Determination of Tax adjustments may affect any Tax attribute of any member of the Spinco Group after the Distribution Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a party materially fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Section 5.1, upon reasonable request and notice by the other party, the non-performing party shall (i) reimburse the other party for any internal or incremental costs incurred by such other party in having its employees or agents view or obtain such material, and (ii) to the extent such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes be liable in full for such additional Taxes.

5.2 Contest Provisions.

(a) The party responsible for preparation and filing Tax Returns under Section 3.1 (the “Responsible Party”), shall have the exclusive right to control, contest, and represent the interests of Parent, Spinco and their respective Affiliates in any Tax controversy, including (without limitation) any audit, protest, or claim for refund to the Appeals Division of the IRS, competent authority proceeding and litigation in Tax Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction (a “Tax Controversy”) related to such Tax Return. Subject to Section 5.2(c) hereof, such exclusive right shall include the right, in the Responsible Party’s reasonable discretion, to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Tax Controversy. Such control rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of a Tax Controversy, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item. Any costs incurred in the handling or contesting of a Tax Controversy shall be borne by the Responsible Party.

(b) Parent shall use reasonable efforts to keep Spinco advised as to the status of Tax audits and litigation involving any issue that relates to a Tax of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate or that could give rise to a liability of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate under this Agreement, and Spinco shall use reasonable efforts to keep Parent advised as to the status of Tax audits and litigation involving any issue that related to a Tax of Parent or any Parent Affiliate or could give rise to a liability of Parent or any Parent Affiliate under this Agreement (in each case, a “Liability Issue”). Parent and Spinco shall promptly furnish each other copies of any inquiries or requests for information from any Taxing Authority or any other administrative, judicial, or other governmental authority concerning any Liability Issue pertaining to the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Spinco, as the case may be, shall each promptly

furnish to the other within 30 days of receipt a copy of the relevant section of the revenue agent’s report or similar report, notice of proposed adjustment, or notice of deficiency received by Parent or its Affiliate or by Spinco or its Affiliate, as the case may be, relating to any Liability Issue or any adjustment referred to in this Section 5.2(b).

i) To the extent resolution of any Tax Controversy could give rise to a material Tax Detriment or loss of a material Tax Benefit to the party responsible for such Taxes under Section 2.1 totaling at least $250,000, but such party is not the Responsible Party, then the Responsible Party shall provide such other party (at such other party’s expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of the Tax Controversy as relates to Taxes for which such other party may be responsible; and

ii) A Responsible Party shall not settle or otherwise voluntarily resolve or disclose any Tax Controversy which could give rise to a Tax Detriment or loss of a material Tax Benefit to the other party totaling at least $250,000 without such other party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld

5.3 Information for Shareholders. Parent shall provide each shareholder that receives stock of Spinco pursuant to the Distribution with the information necessary for such shareholder to comply with the requirements of Section 355 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder with respect to statements that such shareholders must file with their federal income tax returns demonstrating the applicability of Section 355 to the Distribution.

(b) Parent and each Parent Affiliate shall indemnify and hold harmless Spinco and each Spinco Affiliate from and against any liability, cost or expense, including, without limitation, any fine, penalty, interest, charge or accountant’s fee, arising out of fraudulent or negligent preparation of any Tax Return or claim for refund filed by Parent or a Parent Affiliate for any period during which Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group was or has been a member of the Parent Consolidated Group, or arising out of the untimely provision of information required to provided under this Agreement.

7.3 Breach. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Spinco and each Spinco Affiliate, and Spinco shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and each Parent Affiliate, from and against any payment required to be made under this Agreement as a result of the breach by Parent (or Parent Affiliate) or Spinco (or Spinco Affiliate), as the case may be, of any obligation under this Agreement.

7.4 Disclaimers.

(a) Parent disclaims all knowledge of or responsibility for the content or accuracy of any separate returns or filings made by or on behalf of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate for any taxable period during which such company was not a member of the Parent Consolidated Group.

(b) Spinco disclaims all knowledge of or responsibility for the content or accuracy of any Tax Returns or filings made by or on behalf of the Parent Consolidated Group or any member thereof for any period except to the extent such Tax Returns or filings reflect items of the Spinco Business.

7.5 Payments. In the event that one party (the “Owing Party”) is required to make a payment to another party (the “Owed Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, then to the extent not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, such payment shall be made according to this Section 7.5.

(a) All payments shall be made to the Owed Party or to the appropriate Taxing Authority as specified by the Owed Party within the time prescribed for the payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within 20 days after delivery of written notice of payment owing together with a computation of the amounts due.

(b) Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the parties agree that any payment made by one party to another party (other than payments of interest and payment of After Tax Amounts pursuant to Section 7.5(d)) pursuant to this Agreement shall be

treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as payments with respect to stock (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Distribution.

(c) All actions required to be taken by any party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be performed promptly.

(d) If, pursuant to a Final Determination, it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment made under this Agreement (other than payments of interest) is subject to any Tax, the party making such payment shall be liable for (i) the After Tax Amount with respect to such payment, and (ii) interest at the rate described in 7.5(e) on the amount of such tax from the date such Tax is due through the date of payment of such After Tax Amount. A party making a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement and for a payment of an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment shall separately specify and compute such After Tax Amount. However, a party may choose not to specify an After Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement without thereby being deemed to have waived its right subsequently to demand an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment.

(e) Any payment that is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement (i) by Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate) to Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) or (ii) by Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) to Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate), that is not made on or prior to the date that such payment is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall thereafter bear interest at the rate established for underpayments pursuant to Section 6621(a) (2) of the Code.

7.6 Changes in Law. Any reference to a provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations, or a law of another jurisdiction shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision or law. If, due to any change in applicable law or regulations or their interpretation by any court of law or other governing body having jurisdiction subsequent to the date specified in the preamble to this Agreement, performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall become impracticable or impossible, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.

7.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests and obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other party or except in connection with a merger or similar business combination involving a party if the successor under applicable law expressly assumes all rights and obligations of such party hereunder and under each

Ancillary Agreement as if it were such party. Except for the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 relating to indemnities, which are also for the benefit of the indemnitees, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their subsidiaries and affiliates and is not intended to confer upon any other Persons any rights or remedies hereunder.

7.13 Legal Enforceability; Waiver of Default.

Any prohibition or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Waiver by either party of any default by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other party.

7.14 Action by Affiliates. To the extent Spinco is obligated to take any action under this Agreement, and such action is more properly taken by a Spinco Affiliate, then Spinco shall cause such Affiliate to take such action. To the extent Spinco is obligated to refrain from taking any action under this Agreement, Spinco shall cause each of its Affiliates to refrain from taking such action. Parent shall be subject to similar rules regarding actions to be taken, or to be refrained from being taken, by it and its Affiliates.

7.17 Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto.

7.18 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No delay or failure in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any party hereto would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision of this Agreement must satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.17 and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.

7.19 Limitation on Damages.

7.20 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

7.21 Specific Performance.

The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. Each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of

Delaware for purposes of all legal proceedings for equitable relief arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTERS DESCRIBED OR CONTEMPLATED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, AND AGREES TO TAKE ANY AND ALL ACTION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO EFFECT SUCH WAIVER.

7.22 Construction.

The parties agree that prior drafts of this Agreement shall be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intent of the parties hereto with respect hereto.

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

7.24 Delivery by Facsimile and Other Electronic Means. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party, each other party shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

7.25 Consent by Affiliates. Each of Parent and Spinco shall cause each of its respective Affiliates (including any entity that becomes an Affiliate after the date hereof) to consent to, and be bound by, the terms, conditions, covenants, and provisions of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.
