(c) Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, and except as the Parties may agree in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties, Dell and Spyglass, for the Dell Group and the Spyglass Group, respectively, agree to file all Tax Returns, and to take all other actions, relating to Federal Income Taxes or Non-Federal Combined Taxes in a manner consistent with the position that Spyglass and the Spyglass Group are includible in the Consolidated Group and any applicable Combined Group for all days from the date hereof through and including the Deconsolidation Date.

Section 2.02 Preparation and Filing of Returns.

(a) All Tax Returns filed after the Effective Date by Dell, any Dell Affiliate, Spyglass, or any Spyglass Affiliate shall (i) be prepared in a manner that is consistent with this Section 2.02 and the Code, and (ii) filed on a timely basis (taking into account applicable extensions) by the party responsible for such filing under Section 2.01.

(b) In its sole discretion, Dell shall have the exclusive right with respect to any Consolidated Return or Combined Return: (i) to determine (1) the manner in which such Tax Return shall be prepared and filed, including, without limitation, the manner in which any Tax Items shall be reported, (2) whether any extensions may be requested, (3) the elections that will be made by any member of the Consolidated Group or applicable Combined Group, and (4) whether any amended Tax Returns should be filed; (ii) to control, contest, and represent the interests of the Consolidated Group and any Combined Group in any Audit and to resolve, settle, or agree to any adjustment or deficiency proposed, asserted or assessed as a result of any Audit; (iii) to file, prosecute, compromise or settle any claim for refund; and (iv) to determine whether any refunds, to which the Consolidated Group or applicable Combined Group may be entitled, shall be paid by way of refund or credited against the Tax liability of the Consolidated Group or applicable Combined Group. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for the filing of any Consolidated Return or Combined Return for any taxable period, Dell shall provide to Spyglass a copy of the Pro Forma Spyglass Group Consolidated Return or the Pro Forma Spyglass Group Combined Return, as applicable, for such taxable period (including copies of all worksheets and other materials used in preparation thereof) for Spyglass’s review and comment. Spyglass shall provide its comments to Dell within twenty (20) days after receipt of such Pro Forma Spyglass Group Consolidated Return or Pro Forma Spyglass Group Combined Return, as applicable, and Dell and Spyglass shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such returns. In the case of a dispute regarding the reporting of any Tax Item on any Spyglass Pro Forma Return or the requesting of a change of method of accounting which would solely impact Spyglass or Spyglass Affiliates, which the parties cannot resolve, Dell and Spyglass shall jointly retain a nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreed upon by Spyglass and Dell (the “Independent Accountant”) to determine whether the proposed reporting of Spyglass or Dell is more appropriate.

If Spyglass has not provided its comments on the applicable Spyglass Pro Forma Return, or in the case of a dispute regarding the reporting of any Tax Item, such dispute has not been resolved by the due date (with applicable extension) for the filing of any Consolidated Return or Combined Return, Dell shall file such Consolidated Return or Combined Return reporting all Tax Items in the manner as originally set forth on the applicable Spyglass Pro Forma Return provided to Spyglass;

provided, however, that Dell agrees that it will thereafter file an amended Consolidated Return or Combined Return, if necessary and material, reporting any disputed Tax Item in the manner determined by the Independent Accountant, and any other Tax Item as agreed upon by Xxxxxxxx and Dell.

Subject to the other applicable provisions in this Agreement, Spyglass, for itself and its subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably appoints Dell as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take such action (including the execution of documents) as Dell may deem appropriate to effect the foregoing.

Dell shall provide Spyglass (or the applicable Spyglass Affiliate) any assistance reasonably required in providing any information requested pursuant to this Section 2.03.

If the Redetermination Amount is positive, Spyglass shall pay Dell the Redetermination Amount in the manner provided in Section 3.09(d). If the Redetermination Amount is negative, Dell shall pay Spyglass the

absolute value of the Redetermination Amount in the manner provided in Section 3.09(d). The applicable party also shall pay interest on the Redetermination Amount for each day that payment of the Tax or refund, as applicable, would be overdue for such Tax Return calculated (i) with respect to redeterminations affecting Federal Income Taxes, at the rate determined, in the case of payment by Spyglass to Dell, under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and, in the case of payment by Dell to Spyglass, under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, and (ii) with respect to redeterminations affecting Non-Federal Combined Taxes, under similar laws, if any, of the applicable jurisdictions.

Consistent with Section 3.05(c), if there is a redetermination that affects a Consolidated Return or Combined Return for the taxable year that includes the Effective Date, the Redetermination Amount shall be determined separately for the taxable period ending on the Effective Date and the taxable period beginning on the day after the Effective Date.

Section 3.10 Interest. Payments under this Article III that are not made within the prescribed period shall thereafter bear interest at the Federal short-term rate established pursuant to Section 6621 of the Code (or a rate established under an equivalent provision of foreign Law, as appropriate).

To the maximum extent possible under applicable law, no Tax Asset taken into account for Spyglass’s benefit in determining the Aggregate

Spyglass Group Combined Tax Liability for any Pre-Deconsolidation Period shall again be allocated to Spyglass upon a Deconsolidation.

(a) To the extent any Tax Asset that is attributable to the Spyglass Business is not allocated to Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate under applicable law and this Agreement upon a Deconsolidation, Dell shall pay Spyglass an amount such that Spyglass or such Spyglass Affiliate is in the same position it would have been in had the Tax Asset been allocated to Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate (assuming that Spyglass or such Spyglass Affiliate has sufficient taxable income to utilize the benefit of such Tax Asset). No payment shall be required pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate has already received the economic benefit of such Tax Asset pursuant to the Prior Agreement or this Agreement.

(b) To the extent any Tax Asset that is attributable to the Spyglass Business is allocated to Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate under applicable law and this Agreement upon a Deconsolidation, and Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate has already received the economic benefit of such Tax Asset pursuant to the Prior Agreement or this Agreement, Spyglass shall pay Dell an amount equal to the economic benefit that Spyglass or a Spyglass Affiliate previously received.

(c) To the extent any Tax Asset that is attributable to the Dell Business is not allocated to Dell or a Dell Affiliate under applicable law and this Agreement upon a Deconsolidation, Spyglass shall pay Dell an amount such that Dell or such Dell Affiliate is in the same position Dell or such Dell Affiliate would have been in had the Tax Asset been allocated to Dell or a Dell Affiliate (assuming that Dell or such Dell Affiliate has sufficient taxable income to utilize the benefit of such Tax Asset). No payment shall be required pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent Dell or a Dell Affiliate has already received the economic benefit of such Tax Asset pursuant to the Prior Agreement or this Agreement.

(d) Any payments required by this Section 4.02 shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the determination thereof.

Section 4.03 Carrybacks. In the event any Tax Asset of the Spyglass Group for any Post-Deconsolidation Period is eligible to be carried back to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Spyglass shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect to carry such amounts forward to any Post-Deconsolidation Period. If Spyglass is required by law to carry back any such Tax Asset to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Dell agrees to make a payment to Spyglass to the extent that such a payment would otherwise be required under the terms of Section 3.05(d) or Section 3.06(b), net of any expenses incurred by Dell or Dell Affiliates. If subsequent to the payment by Dell to Spyglass of any such amount, there shall be (a) a Final Determination which results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Tax Asset so carried back or (b) a reduction in the amount of the benefit realized by the Dell Group for any reason, Spyglass shall repay to Dell, within thirty (30) business days of such event, any amount which would not have been payable to Spyglass pursuant to this Section 4.03 had the amount of the benefit been determined in light of these events. Spyglass shall hold Dell harmless for any penalty, addition to Tax or interest payable by any member of the Dell Group as a result of any such event. Any such amount shall be paid by Spyglass to Dell within thirty (30) business days of the payment by Dell or any member of the Consolidated Group or Combined Group of any such penalty, addition to Tax, or interest.

Certain Additional Covenants and Indemnification

Section 5.01 Continuing Covenants. Spyglass, for itself and the Spyglass Affiliates, agrees that, except as required by law, on or after a Deconsolidation, without the prior written consent of Dell (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), it will not (nor will it cause or permit any member of the Spyglass Group to), in respect of any Pre-Deconsolidation Period, (a) make or change any tax election in any material respect, (b) change any accounting method in any material respect, (c) amend any Tax Return or take any Tax position on any Tax Return that is materially inconsistent with any Tax position on any Tax Return of the Dell Group, or (d) take any action, omit to take any action or enter

into any transaction, in each case if doing so would result in any materially increased Tax liability or material reduction of any Tax Asset of the Dell Group.

Section 5.02 Spyglass Restrictions. Spyglass agrees that, without the prior written consent of Dell, it will not (a) issue any stock of Spyglass (or any instrument that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into any such stock or that may be treated as equity for tax purposes) or (b) effect any other action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) cause Dell to own stock of Spyglass that on a fully diluted basis, does not constitute “control” (within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code) of Spyglass or (ii) cause a Deconsolidation.

Section 5.03 Indemnity.

(a) Dell Indemnification. Dell shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Spyglass and each Spyglass Affiliate and each of their respective representatives and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing from and against:

(1) all liability as a result of Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 for Federal Taxes or of any comparable provision for Non-Federal Taxes of any person which is or has ever been affiliated with Dell or any Dell Affiliate or with which Dell or any Dell Affiliate joins or has ever joined (or is or has ever been required to join) in filing any consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Return for any taxable period ending on or before the Deconsolidation Date except to the extent the Spyglass Group is liable for such Taxes pursuant to Section 5.03(b);

(2) all Taxes for any tax period (whether beginning before, on or after the Deconsolidation Date), and any other Losses, attributable to the breach by Dell or any Dell Affiliate of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement; and

(3) any Redetermination Amount payable by Dell pursuant to the terms of Section 3.09 hereof.

(b) Spyglass’s Indemnification. Spyglass shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dell and each Dell Affiliate and each of their respective representatives and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing from and against:

(1) all Taxes for any tax period (whether beginning before, on or after the Deconsolidation Date), and any other Losses, attributable to the breach by Spyglass or any Spyglass Affiliate of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement; and

(2) any Redetermination Amount payable by Spyglass pursuant to the terms of Section 3.09 hereof.

(c) Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the Parties agree that any payments made by one party to another party pursuant to this Agreement after the Deconsolidation Date shall, to the extent permissible under applicable law, be treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as contributions or distributions, as appropriate, made immediately prior to the Deconsolidation Date. If it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment is subject to Tax, such payment shall be increased so that the amount of such increased payment reduced by the amount of all Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax deductions resulting from the payment of such Taxes) shall equal the amount of the payment which the party receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement.
