(a) Prior to the Distribution, the parties shall cause the Internal Reorganization to be completed, and shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, execute all such instruments, assignments, documents and other agreements necessary to effect the Internal Reorganization.

Section 2.02 The Separation and Related Transactions. (i) (a) (i) Prior to the Distribution and subject to the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to (x) execute such instruments of assignment and transfer and take such other corporate actions as are necessary to (A) transfer to one or more members of the New News Corporation Group all of the right, title and interest of the Remainco Group in and to all Separated Assets and (B) transfer to one or more members of the Remainco Group all of the right, title and interest of the New News Corporation Group in and to all Remainco Assets and (y) take all actions as are necessary to (A) cause one or more members of the New News Corporation Group to assume (or, as applicable, retain) all of the Separated Liabilities and (B) cause one or more members of the Remainco Group to assume (or, as applicable, retain) all of the Remainco Liabilities. With regards to the transfers described in the preceding sentence, the Parties shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals to effectuate such transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements do not purport to transfer any insurance policy.

(ii) Pursuant to the Separation and unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, New News Corporation, or a member of the New News Corporation Group, (x) shall be the sole owner, and shall have exclusive right, title and interest in and to, all Separated Assets and (y) shall be solely liable for, and shall faithfully perform, fulfill and discharge fully in due course, all of the Separated Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms. Pursuant to the Separation and unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Remainco, or a member of the Remainco Group, (x) shall be the sole owner, and shall have exclusive right, title and interest in and to, all Remainco Assets and (y) shall remain and be solely liable for, and shall faithfully perform, fulfill and discharge fully in due course, all of the Remainco Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Distribution, New News Corporation or a member of the New News Corporation Group shall be solely responsible for all Separated Liabilities and Remainco or a member of the Remainco Group shall be solely responsible for all Remainco Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, on or subsequent to the Distribution, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Remainco’s or New News Corporation’s respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the Remainco Group or the New News Corporation Group, as the case may be) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise.

(b) Delayed Transfer of Assets or Liabilities.

(i) To the extent that the assignment, assumption or transfer of Assets or Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.02 shall not have been consummated as of the Distribution, whether by their terms, by the terms of this Agreement, or by operation of Law (any such Asset or Liability, a “Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability”) and subject to the terms of any Ancillary Agreements, Remainco and New News Corporation thereafter shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate to effect such assignment, assumption or transfer as promptly as practicable following the Distribution. From and after the Distribution until the time such Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability is assigned, transferred or assumed, (i) the Party retaining such Asset shall thereafter, with respect to any such Asset, use commercially reasonable efforts, to hold such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled to such Asset (at the expense of the Party entitled to such Assets), with such cost to be promptly reimbursed), and (ii) the Party intended to assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability; in each case in order to place each Party, insofar as is reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability been assigned, assumed or transferred as contemplated hereby. To the extent that New News Corporation is provided the use or benefit of any Separated Asset or has any Separated Liability held for its account or for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 2.02(b), New News Corporation shall perform, for the benefit of Remainco and any third Person, the obligations of Remainco thereunder or in connection therewith, or as may be directed by Remainco and if New News Corporation shall fail to perform to the extent required herein, New News Corporation shall hold Remainco

harmless and indemnify Remainco therefor. To the extent that Remainco is provided the use or benefit of any Remainco Asset or has any Remainco Liability held for its account or for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 2.02(b), Remainco shall perform, for the benefit of New News Corporation and any third Person, the obligations of New News Corporation thereunder or in connection therewith, or as may be directed by New News Corporation and if Remainco shall fail to perform to the extent required herein, Remainco shall hold New News Corporation harmless and indemnify New News Corporation therefor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the assignment or transfer (or the provision of use or benefit) of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability that, by their respective terms or by operation of Law or otherwise, cannot or is not permitted to be so transferred, assigned, or assumed (or for which such provision of use or benefit thereof is not possible or permitted by their respective terms or by operation of Law or otherwise).

(ii) From and after the Distribution, the Parties agree to treat, for U.S. federal, state, local and non–U.S. income tax purposes, any Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability as owned by the member of the Group to which such Asset or Liability was intended to be transferred. The parties shall not take any position inconsistent with this Section 2.02(b)(ii) unless otherwise required by applicable Law or any relevant accounting position.

(c) Assignment of Certain Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to the Ancillary Agreements and to Section 2.02(g) hereof and if required under the circumstances, (i) Remainco shall assign to New News Corporation (or its Subsidiaries) all of its right, title and interest under the agreements comprising Separated Assets, and (ii) New News Corporation shall assign to Remainco (or its Subsidiaries) all of its right, title and interest under the agreements comprising Remainco Assets, and each Party shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of substitution and such other instruments or agreements as shall be necessary in connection with the discharge of the other Party from its respective obligations with respect to such agreements; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to assign any Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted or actual assignment thereof, without a Governmental Approval or the Consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, violate Law or in any way adversely affect the rights of Remainco or New News Corporation thereunder. With respect to any such Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, Remainco or New News Corporation, as the case may be, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Governmental Approval or Consent, as applicable, of the other parties to any such Contract for the assignment thereof to New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be. If such Governmental Approval or Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted or actual assignment thereof would be ineffective or would materially adversely affect (in the sole discretion of Remainco) the rights of Remainco or New News Corporation, as the case may be, thereunder so that New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, would not in fact receive all such rights, Remainco and New News Corporation will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, would obtain substantially the same economic benefits that would be obtained under an assignment thereof and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, or under which Remainco or New News Corporation, as the case may be, would enforce for the benefit of New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, with New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, assuming Remainco’s or New News Corporation’s, as the case may be, obligations, and any and all rights of Remainco, or New News Corporation, as the case may be, against a third party thereto.

(f) Guarantee Obligations. New News Corporation shall, and shall cause the members of the New News Corporation Group to, (i) other than with regard to the obligations as set forth on Schedule 2.02(f), use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or to cause a member of the New News Corporation Group to be substituted in all respects for any member of the Remainco Group in respect of, all obligations of such member of the Remainco Group under any Separated Liability for which such member of the Remainco Group may be liable as guarantor, original tenant, primary obligor or otherwise as of the Distribution Date (each, including for the avoidance of doubt the obligations set forth on Schedule 2.02(f) a “Guaranty Obligation”), and (ii)(A) indemnify and hold harmless the Remainco Indemnified Party for any Liability arising from or relating to any Guaranty Obligation and (B) not, without the prior written consent of Remainco, from and after the Distribution, amend, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third Person, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation for which any member of the Remainco Group is or may be liable, unless such amendments do not increase the financial obligations of the Remainco Group and/or extend the term of any existing obligations; provided, that the limitations in clause (B) shall not apply in the event that a member of the New News Corporation Group obtains a letter of credit from a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Remainco and for the benefit of any member of the Remainco Group with respect to such Guaranty Obligation.

(g) Mixed Contracts; Mixed Accounts. (i) Unless the Parties agree in writing otherwise or as otherwise may be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any agreement to which any member of the Remainco Group or the New News Corporation Group is a party prior to the Distribution that inures to the benefit or burden of both of the Remainco Business and the Separated Business (a “Mixed Contract”) shall be assigned in part to New News Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, and/or to Remainco or one of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, if so assignable, prior to or as of the Distribution, such that each Party or its respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to its portion of the rights and benefits thereof, as determined in the sole discretion of Remainco (to be exercised in good faith), and shall assume the related portion of

any obligations thereunder and any Liabilities inuring to their respective Businesses; provided, however, that in no event shall either Party be required to assign any Mixed Contract in its entirety. If any Mixed Contract cannot be so partially assigned to any extent, Remainco and New News Corporation shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause the following: (A) the Assets associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract (as determined by Remainco, in its sole discretion (to be exercised in good faith) that relates to the Separated Business to be enjoyed by New News Corporation or a New News Corporation Subsidiary; (B) the Liabilities associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract (as determined by Remainco, in its sole discretion (to be exercised in good faith) that relates to the Separated Business to be borne by New News Corporation or a New News Corporation Subsidiary; (C) the Assets associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract (as determined by Remainco, in its sole discretion (to be exercised in good faith)that relates to the Remainco Business to be enjoyed by Remainco or a Remainco Subsidiary; and (D) the Liabilities associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract (as determined by Remainco, in its sole discretion (to be exercised in good faith) that relates to the Remainco Business to be borne by Remainco or a Remainco Subsidiary; provided, however, that the arrangements described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) shall terminate on the termination of the applicable Mixed Contract or, if later, the associated liability.

(ii) Except as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the Parties or as otherwise may be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, neither Party shall seek to assign any accounts receivable or accounts payable relating to both the Remainco Business and the Separated Business (“Mixed Accounts”).

The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to complete the performance of its services as promptly as practicable, but in any event, no later than September 26, 2013. The Preliminary Cash Amount, (i) if no Transaction Expenses Dispute Notice has been timely delivered by Remainco in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii), as originally submitted by Remainco, or (ii) if a Transaction Expenses Dispute Notice has been timely delivered by Remainco, as adjusted pursuant to the resolution of such dispute in accordance with this Section 2.03(b), shall be deemed to be the “Final Transaction Expenses Amount.”

(i) (A) If the net amount of the sum of the U.K. Adjustment Amount, the Stamp Duty Adjustment, and the ASX Adjustment is a positive number, the Final Cash Amount shall be increased by such amount; or (B) if the net amount of the sum of the U.K. Adjustment Amount, the Stamp Duty Adjustment, and the ASX Adjustment is a negative number, the Final Cash Amount shall be decreased by the absolute value of such amount (such adjustment in (A) or (B), the “Currency Adjustment”); and

(e) New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, shall, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjusted Cash Amount pursuant to this Section 2.03, but in any event no later than September 27, 2013, make payment to the other by wire transfer in immediately available funds of the amount payable by New News Corporation or Remainco, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Cash Adjustment, together with interest thereon from the Distribution Date to the date of payment at a rate equal to the Prime Rate. Such interest shall be calculated based on a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed since the Distribution Date.

(f) The Cash Amounts shall be calculated in U.S. dollars and consistently with the historical practices, including with respect to accounting and foreign currency translation, used by Remainco in calculating its consolidated balance sheet.

(d) any breach by any member of the New News Corporation Group of any of the Mixed Contracts, subject to any indemnification provision or any specific limitation on liability contained in any Ancillary Agreement;

(e) any Guaranty Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02(f);

(f) the failure by New News Corporation to perform in connection with any Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability held by Remainco for New News Corporation’s benefit pursuant to Section 2.02(b); and

(g) the FCC Broadcast Ownership Rules or the FCC Program Access Rules as a result of the acquisition or prospective acquisition by New News Corporation of an FCC Ownership Interest or FCC MVPD Interest.

Section 4.03 Indemnification by Remainco. In addition to any other provision of this Agreement requiring indemnification, Remainco shall indemnify, defend, release, discharge and hold harmless New News Corporation, each member of the New News Corporation Group and each of their respective current and former directors, officers, agents and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “New News Corporation Indemnified Parties,” and, together with Remainco Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses or Liabilities of the New News Corporation Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence (whether simple, contributory or gross), recklessness, violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise (without duplication) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:

Section 4.04 Insurance. (a) Each of Remainco and New News Corporation shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to collect any proceeds under its respective available and applicable third party insurance policies to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement, where allowed; provided, however, that any such actions by an Indemnified Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay directly or reimburse the Indemnified Party for costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party.

(b) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually recovered (including insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered under insurance policies, net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof), whether retroactively or prospectively, by the Indemnified Party from any third Person with respect to such Loss. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third Person in respect of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment of a portion, but not all of, such indemnifiable Loss and the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the positive excess (if any) of (i) the sum of the amount previously paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Loss plus the amount received by such Indemnified Party from such third Person in respect of such indemnifiable Loss (after deducting any costs and expenses that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party), minus (ii) the full amount of such indemnifiable Loss. An insurer or other third Person who would otherwise be obligated to pay any Loss shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood and agreed that no insurer or any third Person shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.

Section 4.05 Procedures for Indemnification; Third-Party Claims. Other than with respect to indemnification for any U.K. Newspaper Matter under Section 4.03(f), which shall be governed solely by Section 4.06:

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by any Person who is not a member of the Remainco Group or the New News Corporation Group, as the case may be, of any claim, or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action, with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 20 days after such Indemnified Party received notice or otherwise learned of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including, if known, the amount of the Loss or Liability for which indemnification may be available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 4.05(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 20 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense at its own expense, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.

(c) If, in such notice, an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 4.05(b), such Indemnified Party may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may at any time thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim upon notice to the Indemnified Party (but the cost and expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim until such date as the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party).

(d) The Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third-Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to Section 4.05(b) or Section 4.05(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Article IV shall be binding on the Indemnified Party, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party 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 Indemnified Party of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.

(f) In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant, if at all practicable and advisable under the circumstances. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Article IV.

Section 4.06 U.K. Newspaper Matters. (a) In addition to the obligations of Section 4.03, and subject to Section 4.06(g)(ii)(b) and the last sentence of Section 4.06(c)(v), after the Distribution Date Remainco shall, without duplication, defend, release, discharge, hold harmless and indemnify (by means of a contribution to) (i) NCH from and against any and all Losses or Liabilities arising out of or resulting from any payments made after the Distribution Date by NCH or any of its Subsidiaries to any payee located in the U.K. in connection with the civil U.K. Newspaper Matters or the criminal U.K. Newspaper matters to the extent provided for in Section 4.06(d) (all such amounts being the “NCH Amounts”); and (ii) New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) from and against any and all Losses or Liabilities of the New News Corporation Group arising out of or resulting from any payments made after the Distribution Date by any member of the New News Corporation Group to any payee not located in the U.K. in connection with the civil U.K. Newspaper Matters or the criminal U.K. Newspaper Matters to the extent provided for in Section 4.06(d) (all such amounts being the “New News Corporation Amounts”), in each case regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence (whether simple, contributory or gross), recklessness, violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise (without duplication) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) If New News Corporation shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by any Person (including any Governmental Authority) of any Action, or of the commencement or threat by any such Person of any Action, which may constitute, in whole or in part, a U.K. Newspaper Matter indemnifiable under Section 4.06(a) (to the extent any such Action constitutes such a U.K. Newspaper Matter, a “U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim”), New News Corporation shall give Remainco written notice as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 5 days after receiving notice or otherwise learning of such U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim. Any such notice shall describe the U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim in reasonable detail, including, if known, all parties involved, any allegations relating to such Action, the basis upon which it is alleged indemnification for such Action is available under Section 4.06(a) and the amount of any Loss for which indemnification may be available. For the purposes of this Section 4.06(b), New News Corporation shall be deemed to have provided written notice to Remainco of any U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim in existence as of the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, for the purposes of this Section 4.06, notice shall be deemed to have been provided upon, but only upon, receipt of written notice by the Remainco Notice Parties or New News Corporation Notice Parties, as applicable, as listed on Schedule 4.06(b).

(i) Remainco shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claims through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to New News Corporation within 20 days of the receipt of notice from New News Corporation of a civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim. If Remainco elects to undertake any such defense, New News Corporation shall cooperate with Remainco in such defense to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and make available to Remainco, at Remainco’s expense, all directors, officers, employees, agents and other witnesses (including for the purposes of, among other things, fact finding, consultation, and interviews and to provide testimony through declarations, witness statements, affidavits, depositions, or at any hearing during proceedings, trial and/or post trial ancillary proceedings and to work with Remainco and its counsel in preparation for such events consistent with deadlines imposed on such matters), pertinent records, materials and information in New News Corporation’s possession or under New News Corporation’s control relating thereto. The legal fees, expenses of counsel and court costs of Remainco’s defense in accordance with this Section 4.06(c) shall be paid by New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, and Remainco shall indemnify (by means of a contribution to) New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for such amounts paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.06(c), in any instance that Remainco has assumed the control of defense of any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim in accordance with this Section 4.06(c), Remainco shall not be required to fund any separate New News Corporation counsel with regard to such matters, except, if applicable, with respect to any period prior to such assumption or following the termination of such assumption.

(ii) If Remainco elects by notice to New News Corporation, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to assume and control the defense of any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim, or fails to notify New News Corporation of its election to assume and control such defense as provided in Section 4.06(b), New News Corporation shall assume the defense of the applicable civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim and Remainco shall indemnify (by means of contribution) New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for the costs and expenses paid by such entity for such defense; provided, that Remainco may at any time thereafter assume the defense of such civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim, at its cost and through counsel of its choice, upon notice to New News Corporation (but Remainco shall indemnify (by means of contribution) New News Corporation (or its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for the cost and expense of defending such civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim incurred under Section 4.06(c) until such date as Remainco shall assume the defense of such civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim). In connection with any civil U.K. Newspaper Matter Claim in which Remainco does not control the defense, New News Corporation shall make available to Remainco, at Remainco’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in New News Corporation’s possession, custody or control relating thereto (subject only to applicable Law and to the extent that Remainco’s participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner), and shall provide Remainco with the Remainco Consultation Rights (as defined below) and New News Corporation shall incorporate all timely comments of Remainco in connection with the Remainco Consultation Rights to the extent reasonably practicable. If New News Corporation has assumed the defense against any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim, Remainco shall cooperate with New News Corporation in such defense and make available to New News Corporation, at Remainco’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in Remainco’s possession or under Remainco’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by New News Corporation for conducting such a defense (subject only to applicable Law and to the extent that Remainco’s participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no member of the New News Corporation Group shall settle, compromise, or pay any financial penalties or amounts related to any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim without the consent of Remainco (such consent to be determined in Remainco’s sole and absolute discretion).

(iv) To the extent that the indemnification obligations of Remainco shall have been deemed to have ceased in accordance with Sections 4.06(g)(ii)(2) or the last sentence of 4.06(c)(v), Remainco shall no longer have the right under Section 4.06(c)(i) to assume and control the defense of any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters that are Separated Liabilities and New News Corporation shall, from and after such cessation, grant Remainco, at Remainco’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by New News Corporation to any third party involved in a civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim (including any Governmental Authority), to the extent that Remainco’s participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by New News Corporation of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of Remainco (including any shared officers or directors of both Remainco and New News Corporation, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Remainco in its reasonable discretion (the “Remainco Consultation Rights”).

(v) Remainco shall have the right to cause any member of the New News Corporation Group to (i) compromise or settle a civil U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim the defense of which it has assumed pursuant to Section 4.06(c) and (ii) directly fund any such settlement, subject to Remainco’s obligation to indemnify New News Corporation or NCH, as applicable, for any amounts paid in accordance with Section 4.06(a). Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of any assumed U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim in accordance with this Article IV shall be binding on the members of the New News Corporation Group in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Remainco shall not cause the settlement of any such U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim without the written consent of the applicable member of the New News Corporation Group (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the applicable member of the New News Corporation Group does not consent to a settlement, Remainco shall have no further obligations under this Section 4.06 with respect to that U.K. Newspaper Matter Claim and any civil U.K. Newspaper Matters under such U.K. Newspaper Matters Claim shall constitute “Separated Liabilities” thereafter.

(d) Criminal U.K. Newspaper Matters Claims. With regard to any criminal U.K. Newspaper Matters, Remainco shall indemnify (by means of a contribution to) New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for all legal fees and expenses of counsel and court costs paid by it to the extent related to or arising from such criminal U.K. Newspaper Matters; provided that such costs shall not include any fines or other financial penalties or amounts associated with any settlement, judgment or similar result associated with the criminal U.K. Newspaper Matters.

(e) In all matters with respect to all the provisions of this Section 4.06, Remainco and New News Corporation, on behalf of each member of the New News Corporation Group, agree that any correspondence, communications, documents, materials or other information of whatever kind exchanged between themselves shall remain confidential and shall, to the maximum extent under applicable Law, be protected from disclosure to any third party by the common interest and joint-defense privileges, and, where applicable, the attorney-client privilege, lawyers secrecy, banking secrecy, the attorney work product doctrine, the self-evaluative privilege doctrine, legal advice privilege, litigation privilege, or any other privilege or immunity that is recognized or may apply in any relevant jurisdiction or under any applicable Law.

(i) From the date of delivery of Remainco’s Request for Arbitration (as defined in the ICC Rules and in accordance with Section 9.08) with regard to any U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Dispute, the obligations of Remainco to indemnify New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for the U.K. Newspaper Matters that are the subject of such Dispute in accordance with Section 4.06(a) shall be suspended until the Arbitral Tribunal (as defined in Section 9.08) has issued a final award disposing of all U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Disputes before the Arbitral Tribunal (“U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Final Award”). The Arbitral Tribunal shall endeavor, to the greatest extent practicable (taking into account the timing and status of any then-current proceedings), to finally resolve all U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Disputes, and all matters arising out of the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Disputes, in a single award; provided that the Arbitral Tribunal may, in its discretion, adjudicate all such matters while deferring for a subsequent adjudication the question of the allocation of fees and costs (as provided for in Section 9.08) to be determined in a further award.

(ii) In any U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Final Award, the Arbitral Tribunal shall expressly indicate whether Remainco or New News Corporation is the prevailing party in connection with each U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Dispute.

(1) If, in the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Final Award, the Arbitral Tribunal determines that New News Corporation is the prevailing party in connection with all of the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Disputes, then any and all obligations of Remainco to indemnify New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4.06(a) for the U.K. Newspaper Matters referenced in the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Final Award shall be reinstated, subject to the rendering of any future Remainco Dispute Judgment (as defined below) or as set forth in and the last sentence of Section 4.06(c)(v).

(2) If, in the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Final Award, the Arbitral Tribunal determines that Remainco is the prevailing party in connection with any U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnification Disputes (a “Remainco Dispute Judgment”), then, from and after the date of the initiation of such Dispute, any and all obligations of Remainco to indemnify New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, for any and all civil U.K. Newspaper Matters in accordance with Section 4.06(a) shall be deemed to have ceased and to be of no further force or effect and any and all past (to the extent not already finally determined by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or settled in a binding manner in accordance with Section 4.06 (to the extent applicable)), present, pending and future civil U.K. Newspaper Matters shall be deemed to constitute “Separated Liabilities” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that Remainco, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines with respect to any particular Remainco Dispute Judgment that its obligation to indemnify New News Corporation (or any of its designated Subsidiaries) or NCH, as applicable, shall cease only with regard to the civil U.K. Newspaper Matters that are subject to such Remainco Dispute Judgment and that only such civil U.K. Newspaper Matters shall constitute “Separated Liabilities” by virtue of such Remainco Dispute Judgment.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity contributions by Remainco with regard to the NCH Amount and the New News Corporation Amount as required by this Section 4.06 shall be made by quarterly payments of the then-accrued NCH Amount or New News Corporation Amount, as applicable, as demonstrated by New News Corporation’s or NCH’s, as applicable, delivery to Remainco of evidence of payment regarding such amounts.

(i) Other than with regard to the right to indemnification for Separated Liabilities under Section 4.02, Remainco shall not have any right to indemnification from any member of the New News Corporation Group for any U.K. Newspaper Matters.

Section 4.07 Direct Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 4.05 or any U.K. Newspaper Matter, which shall be governed by Section 4.06), within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnified Party or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If

such Indemnifying Party does not respond in writing within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to accept responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue any and all remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.08 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Remainco and New News Corporation and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any of its Assets or Businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 4.09 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party; provided, that the procedures set forth in this Article IV shall be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action brought under this Agreement.

Section 4.10 Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement contains any specific, express indemnification obligation or contribution obligation relating to any Remainco Liability, Remainco Asset, Separated Liability or Separated Asset contributed, assumed, retained, transferred, delivered or conveyed pursuant to such Ancillary Agreement, or relating to any other specific matter, the indemnification obligations contained herein shall not apply to such Remainco Liability, Remainco Asset, Separated Liability or Separated Asset, or such other specific matter, and instead the indemnification and/or contribution obligations set forth in such Ancillary Agreement shall govern with regard to such Remainco Asset, Remainco Liability, Separated Asset or Separated Liability or any such other specific matter. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in any Ancillary Agreement shall affect the treatment of any indemnification for any U.K. Newspaper Matter, which shall be governed solely in accordance with the terms of Section 4.06 herein.

Section 4.11 Release of Pre-Distribution Claims.

(a) Except (i) as provided in Section 4.11(c), (ii) as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and (iii) for any matter for which any Remainco Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IV, effective as of the Distribution, Remainco does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Remainco Group and their respective successors and assigns, and, to the extent Remainco legally may, all Persons that at any time prior or subsequent to the Distribution have been stockholders, directors, officers, members, agents or employees of Remainco or any other member of the Remainco Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge New News Corporation and each member of the New News Corporation Group and their respective successors and assigns from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, whether arising under any Contract or agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, existing or arising from or relating to any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to

(d) At any time, at the request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases in form reasonably satisfactory to the other Party reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.11.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 5.01 Further Assurances. (a) Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, on and after the Distribution, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, on and after the Distribution, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to cause, or to cause a member of their respective Group to cause, to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of assignment, assumption and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents under, any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument, and to take all such other actions as either Party may request to be taken by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and, to the extent necessary, (i) the transfer of any Separated Asset from any member of the Remainco Group to any member of the New News Corporation Group and the assumption of any Separated Liability by any member of the New

News Corporation Group and (ii) the transfer of any Remainco Asset from any member of the New News Corporation Group to any member of the Remainco Group and the assumption of any Remainco Liability by any member of the Remainco Group, and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Party shall be obligated to make any payment, incur any obligation or grant any concession, other than the payment of ordinary and customary fees to Governmental Authorities.

(c) Remainco and New News Corporation, in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each properly ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Remainco and New News Corporation, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements.

(d) Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of the members of their respective Groups to, at the request of the other, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Governmental Approval, Consent, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Separated Liabilities or Remainco Liabilities, as the case may be, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any member of either the New News Corporation Group or the Remainco Group, as the case may be, so that, in any such case, the New News Corporation Group will be solely responsible for all Separated Liabilities and the Remainco Group will be solely responsible for all Remainco Liabilities.

(e) If at any time and from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Distribution), any member of the Remainco Group shall receive or otherwise possess or control any Separated Asset, Remainco shall or shall cause such member of the Remainco Group to promptly transfer such Separated Asset to New News Corporation or its Affiliate or designee.

(f) If at any time and from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Distribution), any member of the New News Corporation Group shall receive or otherwise possess or control any Remainco Asset, New News Corporation shall or shall cause such member of the New News Corporation Group to promptly transfer such Remainco Asset to Remainco or its Affiliate or designee.

Section 5.02 Certain Business Matters. (a) Following the Distribution and except as set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, no member of either the Remainco Group or the New News Corporation Group shall have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as any member of the other Group, (ii) conducting its business with any potential or actual supplier or customer of any member of the other Group or (iii) engaging in any other activities whatsoever relating to any of the potential or actual suppliers or customers of any member of the other Group.

(b) Each of Remainco and New News Corporation is aware that from time to time certain business opportunities may arise that more than one Group may be financially able to undertake, and that are, from their nature, in the line of more than one Group’s Business and are

of practical advantage to more than one Group. In connection therewith, the Parties agree that, following the Distribution, if either Remainco or New News Corporation acquires knowledge of an opportunity that meets the foregoing standard with respect to more than one Group, neither Remainco nor New News Corporation shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the other and each may pursue or acquire such opportunity for itself, or direct such opportunity to any other Person.

Section 5.03 Settlement of Certain Insurance Claims. (a) If, and to the extent, determined by Remainco, in its sole discretion, until the Distribution, each member of either Group shall (i) cause itself and its employees, officers and directors to continue to be covered as insured parties under existing policies of insurance and (ii) permit the members of the other Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to submit claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred at or prior to the Distribution to the extent permitted under such policies. Except as is necessary for Remainco, in its reasonable judgment, to comply with its obligations under Section 5.03(c), from and after the Distribution, (x) no member of either Group will have responsibility to obtain coverage for any member of the other Group, (y) each member of either Group shall have the right to remove any member of the other Group and its current, former and future employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued by any insurance carrier effective immediately following the Distribution and (z) following the Distribution, neither Party will be entitled to make any claims for insurance coverage under the other insurance policies of the members of the other Group to the extent such claims are based upon facts, circumstances, events or matters occurring after the Distribution. No member of either Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Distribution, each member of each Group, and their respective current, former and future directors, officers and employees, may make claims arising out of occurrences or events that occurred prior to the Distribution against insurance policies of the other Party, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of such policies, and the Party bringing such claim shall control the claims process with respect to such claim to the maximum extent allowable under the applicable policies; provided that with regard to any Related Claims, Remainco shall have the right to control the claims process. Neither Party shall be responsible to negotiate, investigate, defend, settle or otherwise handle such claims on behalf of the other Party. In connection with any such claim made by a Party under the other Party’s insurance policy after the Distribution, such other Party shall instruct the applicable insurance carrier to negotiate with and accept proof of Loss directly from the Party asserting the claim, and to pay such claim directly to the Party asserting the claim. With regard to Unrelated Claims, the Party bringing any such claim shall bear the cost of any deductible, out-of-pocket costs or Losses not covered under the applicable policy with regard to such claims. With regard to Related Claims, the Parties shall bear their pro rata portion, as determined by Remainco, in its sole and reasonable discretion, of any deductibles, out-of pocket costs (including the costs related to the defense or settlement of such Related Claims) or Losses not covered under the applicable policy with regard to such claims, based on the relationship such costs or Losses incurred by each such Party bear to the total costs and/or Loss to both such Parties from the occurrence or event underlying the Related Claims. Remainco and New News Corporation each agree to provide necessary reasonable releases to resolve claim settlements. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party as reasonably requested by the other Party in

order to pursue such claim. Where indemnification is not available under Article IV, each member of each Group shall be responsible for pursuing and administering its own insurance claims and any other member of either Group shall provide such reasonable cooperation as is appropriate with respect to notice of those claims and otherwise, and, with respect to those claims, in the event any member of either Group elects to pursue insurance coverage through litigation or other action against an insurer, that member will be responsible for its own costs and fees in connection therewith.

(c) After the Distribution, under the directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Policies”) maintained by the members of the Remainco Group, the members of the Remainco Group shall not take any action that would eliminate or substantially reduce the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of any member of Remainco Group or as the fiduciaries of the employee benefit plans of any member of the Remainco Group, in each case, at or prior to the Distribution under any D&O Policies maintained by the members of the Remainco Group. The members of the Remainco Group shall reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors and officers of any member of the Remainco Group or as the fiduciaries of the employee benefit plans of any member of the Remainco Group, in each case, at or prior to the Distribution in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Policies that could inure to the benefit of such individuals. The members of the Remainco Group shall allow the members of the New News Corporation Group and their agents and representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to examine and make copies of the relevant D&O Policies and shall provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the members of the New News Corporation Group, their directors and their officers.

(d) To the extent that the proceeds from any Remainco or New News Corporation insurance policy, as the case may be, are insufficient to cover any reimbursements for any Unrelated Claims, whether in part or as a whole, filed by Remainco and/or New News Corporation (or any member of their respective Groups), the insurance proceeds available under such policies shall be paid on a “first come, first served” basis, with such determination being made based on the date that either Remainco or New News Corporation (or any member of their respective Groups) submitted such Unrelated Claim under the applicable policy.

(e) If Remainco and New News Corporation file Related Claims under any Remainco or New News Corporation insurance policy, as the case may be, arising out of occurrences or events that occurred prior to the Distribution, each of New News Corporation and Remainco shall receive a pro rata amount of the available (as determined in the sole discretion of Remainco) insurance proceeds, based on the relationship the Loss incurred by each such Party bears to the total Loss to both such Parties from the occurrence or event underlying the Related Claims.

Section 5.04 Intellectual Property Matters. Without limiting the obligations under Section 5.01 and subject to the terms of any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date, the Parties hereto agree, upon the other Party’s reasonable request and at the requesting Party’s cost, to (and to cause any relevant member of its Group to) execute and deliver any documents or instruments (including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer) and perform any actions (including, without limitation, making filings with Internet

domain registries, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and similar foreign and successor offices or registries) reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence, confirm, effect, perfect and/or record each Party’s (and the relevant members of its Group’s) right, title or interest in any Assets that consist of Intellectual Property that are allocated to such Party (or such member of its Group) pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.05 Marks.

(a) Coincident with the Distribution, Remainco will change its name, and as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Distribution shall cause other members of the Remainco Group to change their names (to the extent applicable), to remove any reference to the New News Corporation Marks or any use of the term NEWS as the primary identifier of such name (e.g., News America Incorporated would be required to change its name, but Fox News, LLC would not).

(b) Effective as of the Distribution, New News Corporation (on behalf of itself and the other members of the New News Corporation Group) hereby grants to Remainco Group, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Distribution (the “Trademark Transition Period”), a non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license to use the New News Corporation Marks in a manner generally consistent with the use of such Trademark prior to the Distribution, to facilitate the transition by the Remainco Group to new names and marks. Subject to the following paragraph, during the Transition Period, the Remainco Group shall phase-out use of the New News Corporation Marks as soon as reasonably practicable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or under applicable Law, upon the expiration of the Trademark Transition Period, New News Corporation (on behalf of itself and the other members of the New News Corporation Group) acknowledges and agrees that Remainco Group shall not be required to remove, modify or take any other action regarding any use of the New News Corporation Marks made prior to or during the Trademark Transition Period to the extent such use is on products and other materials already in commerce or already created for use in commerce, including making reproductions of such products and other materials following the Trademark Transition Period to the extent such reproductions are used in substantially the same manner as used prior to the Distribution (for example, and without limitation, creation and sale of DVDs with existing packaging bearing a New News Corporation Xxxx, reproduction of film prints that include a New News Corporation Xxxx in opening or closing credits, etc.). Effective as of the Distribution, New News Corporation (on behalf of itself and the other members of the New News Corporation Group) hereby grants to Remainco Group a non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license to make the foregoing uses of the New News Corporation Marks; provided that Remainco Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to phase-out such use of the New News Corporation Marks as such materials are otherwise modified in any significant respect in the ordinary course of business (for example, and without limitation, when packaging for a DVD is modified to change the cover graphic, the New News Corporation Marks shall be removed from such modified packaging).

(d) All goodwill associated with the New News Corporation Marks generated by the Remainco Group’s use of the New News Corporation Marks pursuant to the licenses granted in this Section 5.5 shall inure to the benefit of the New News Corporation Group. The Remainco

Group shall use the New News Corporation Marks pursuant to the licenses granted in this Section 5.5 at a level of quality equivalent in all material respects to that in effect for the New News Corporation Marks as of the Distribution. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall preclude any uses of the New News Corporation Marks by Remainco Group, during or after the Trademark Transition Period, that are required (or could otherwise be made by a third party) under applicable Law, including uses of the New News Corporation Marks not in commerce, uses that would not cause confusion as to the origin of a good or service, and references to the New News Corporation Marks in historical, tax, and regulatory filings and similar records.

(e) Without limiting any obligations in this Agreement and subject to the terms of any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date, the Parties hereto agree, upon the other Party’s reasonable request and at the requesting Party’s cost, to (and to cause any relevant member of its Group, including, for the avoidance of doubt, News Australia Pty. Ltd., to) execute and deliver a short form license agreement reflecting the licenses granted hereunder and perform any actions (including, without limitation, making filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and similar foreign and successor offices or registries) reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence, confirm, effect, perfect and/or record such licenses or the use of the New News Corporation Marks in commerce.

Section 5.06 Misdirected Customer Payments.

(a) In the event that after the Distribution Date, any member of the Remainco Group receives a Misdirected New News Corporation Payment or any member of the New News Corporation Group receives a Misdirected Remainco Payment, the receiving Party shall remit such payment to the appropriate member of the Remainco Group or the New News Corporation Group, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Following the Distribution Date, Remainco will promptly upon receipt thereof forward to New News Corporation any invoice received by any member of the Remainco Group and addressed to any member of the New News Corporation Group, and New News Corporation will promptly upon receipt thereof forward to Remainco any invoice received by any member of the New News Corporation Group and addressed to any member of the Remainco Group (any invoice described in this sentence, a “Misdirected Invoice”). For the avoidance of doubt, obligations under, and Liabilities associated with, any Misdirected Invoice shall be deemed for the purposes of this Agreement (including with respect to any indemnification obligations under Article IV) to be Liabilities of the addressee of such Misdirected Invoice.

Section 5.07 Consents for Business. After the Distribution, each Party shall cause the appropriate members of its respective Group to prepare and file with the appropriate Governmental Authorities applications for the transfer or issuance, as each of the Parties determines is necessary or advisable, to its Group of all material Consents required for the members of its Group to operate its Business. The members of the New News Corporation Group and the members of the Remainco Group shall cooperate and use all commercially reasonable efforts to secure the transfer or issuance of such Consents.

Section 5.08 Additional Consents. In addition to the actions described in Section 5.07, the members of the Remainco Group and the members of the New News Corporation Group shall cooperate to make all other filings and to give notice to and obtain any Consent required or advisable to consummate the transactions that are contemplated to occur from and after the Distribution by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 5.09 Conduct of Business Following the Separation. After the Distribution:

(a) The Remainco Group and New News Corporation Group shall each be permitted to acquire any Media Company Interest, provided, however, that if at the time that any acquisition occurs, such acquisition would cause the other Party (or any members of the Remainco Group or New News Corporation Group, as applicable) to be (or potentially to be) in violation of the FCC Broadcast Ownership Rules, or would limit in any manner under such Rules the ability of the other Party (or any members of the Remainco Group or New News Corporation Group, as applicable) to hold its then-existing Media Company Interests, such acquisition shall be deemed a “FCC Ownership Interest.” In the event that either Party (or any members of the Remainco Group or New News Corporation Group, as applicable) acquires a FCC Ownership Interest, then upon notification from the other Party exercising its reasonable, good faith judgment that the FCC Ownership Interest does or is reasonably likely to impede its business, the Party that acquired such FCC Ownership Interest shall (or as necessary shall direct the members of the Remainco Group or New News Corporation Group, as applicable) take any and all steps necessary, including without limitation promptly divesting the FCC Ownership Interest or the business or asset giving rise to such FCC Ownership Interest, so that the ability of the other Party to operate in a manner consistent with the FCC Broadcast Ownership Rules, or to continue to hold its Media Company Interests, is not impaired in any respect.

(b) New News Corporation Group shall not acquire an interest in a Multichannel Video Programming Distributor to the extent that such acquisition would subject the Remainco Group or any of its subsidiaries to the FCC Program Access Rules (an “FCC MVPD Interest”); provided, however, that New News Corporation Group may acquire an FCC MVPD Interest if at the time of the acquisition of such FCC MVPD Interest the Remainco Group is for independent reasons already subject either to the FCC Program Access Rules or to a government regulation, order, determination, consent agreement or decree that imposes effectively the same limitations on the Remainco Group as the FCC Program Access Rules.

(c) The Remainco Group and New News Corporation Group shall each provide the other with any Information in accordance with Section 6.01(a) that any member of the other Party is required to include in submissions made to the FCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that any communication with the FCC in connection with a FCC Ownership Interest or FCC MVPD Interest acquired by either of them, or sought to be acquired, shall be made by, and under the direction of, Remainco in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that Remainco shall consult with New News Corporation about such communications in advance and in good faith incorporate into such communications the reasonable views expressed by New News Corporation.

(d) The provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5.09 and the parties’ rights and obligations thereunder shall terminate and no longer be in effect from and after such time as no person or entity is deemed to have an interest in both Remainco and New News Corporation that is attributable for purposes of the FCC Broadcast Ownership Rules (in the case of paragraphs (a) and (c)) or the FCC Program Access Rules (in the case of paragraphs (b) and (c)). Notwithstanding any termination pursuant this paragraph (d), the parties hereto shall remain liable for any breaches of this Section 5.09 occurring prior to such time.

ARTICLE VI

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Section 6.01 Agreement for Exchange of Information. (a) Each of Remainco and New News Corporation, on behalf of its respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party and its auditors, at any time before, on or after the Distribution, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor from such other Party, any Information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group (including access to such Group’s accountants, personnel and facilities) that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party (including pursuant to Section 6.01(d)), (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, Action or other similar requirements, (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iv) for employee benefits, regulatory or Tax matters, or (v) for any other reasonable purposes; provided, however, that in the event that any Party reasonably determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental to such Party or any member of its Group, violate any Law or agreement to which such Party or member of its Group is a party, or waive any attorney-client or attorney work product privileges applicable to such Party or member of its Group, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such Information and the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to comply with the obligations pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) in a manner that mitigates any such harm or consequence and prevents waiver of any privilege to the extent practicable. Remainco and New News Corporation intend that any transfer of Information that would otherwise be within the attorney-client or attorney work product privileges shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

(b) Following the Distribution, each Party shall make its employees and facilities reasonably available and accessible to provide an examination of any Information provided hereunder.

(c) Until the end of the first full Remainco fiscal year occurring after the Distribution (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution occurs), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with past practice, to enable the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial statements and enable such other Party’s auditors to timely complete their annual audit and review of quarterly financial statements.

(d) In order to enable the principal executive officer or officers, principal financial officer or officers and controller or controllers of the other Party to make the certifications required of them under SOX § 302, within 30 days following the end of any fiscal quarter during which New News Corporation is a Subsidiary of Remainco, each Party shall cause its officers or employees to provide the other Party with the certification statements of such officers and employees with respect to such quarter or portion thereof to those officers and employees of the other Party, in substantially the same form and manner as such officers or employees provided such certification statements prior to the Distribution, or as otherwise agreed upon between the Parties. Such certification statements shall also reflect any changes in certification statements necessitated by the Separation, Distribution, Internal Reorganization and any other transactions related thereto.

Section 6.02 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.01 shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

Section 6.03 Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting any Information referenced in Section 6.01(a) agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, and personnel costs of creating, gathering and copying such Information or for providing explanations of Information provided, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party by or on behalf of such other Party’s Group. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Agreement, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s reasonable standard methodology and procedures.

Section 6.04 Record Retention. Except as otherwise required or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 6.01(a), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to retain, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to Remainco’s applicable record retention policy as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution, including, without limitation, pursuant to any “Litigation Hold” issued by Remainco or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution, (ii) any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iii) any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened claim, demand or Action which is known to the members of the Group in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, (iv) any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Authority which is known to the members of the Group in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire and (v) with respect to Information relating to Taxes, one year after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (such latest period, the “Retention Period”), at such party’s sole cost and expense; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened claim, demand or Action arising after the Distribution, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the New News Corporation Group or the Remainco Group 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 claim, demand or Action. Prior to destroying or disposing of any such Information, (a) the Party proposing to dispose of or destroy any such

Information shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide no less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party, specifying the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of and (b) if, prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal, the other Party requests in writing that any of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such other Party, the Party proposing to dispose of or destroy such Information shall promptly arrange for the delivery of the requested Information to a location specified by, and at the expense of, the requesting Party; provided, however, that in the event that any Party reasonably determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental to such Party or any member of its Group, violate any Law or agreement to which such Party or member of its Group is a party, or waive any attorney-client or attorney work product privileges applicable to such Party or member of its Group, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with the obligations pursuant to this Section 6.04 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Remainco and New News Corporation intend that any transfer of Information that would otherwise be within the attorney-client or attorney work product privileges shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

Section 6.05 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Except in the case of an Action by one Party against another Party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requested party agrees to make the designated person or persons available to the requesting party upon reasonable notice to the same extent such requested party would have made such person available if the Distribution had not occurred. The requesting party agrees to cooperate with the requested party in giving consideration to such persons’ business demands. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, in connection therewith.

(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be. The Indemnifying Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, in connection therewith.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult, and shall cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate and consult, to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions and any Related Claims with respect thereto.

(e) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.06 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses, former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.06(b)).

(c) In the event that both a member or members of the New News Corporation Group and the Remainco Group are defendants in the same proceeding, the appropriate member or members of each Group will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement, so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

Any claim, controversy or dispute between or among any of the Parties hereto arising out of or related to this Agreement (other than any dispute to determine the Final Cash Amount, as initiated under a Preliminary Cash Amount Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 2.03), including with respect to the validity, intent, interpretation, performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement or any of the terms contained in this Agreement (a “Dispute”) shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) pursuant to its Rules of Arbitration then in effect (the “ICC Rules”), except as modified herein or, as applicable, by Section 4.06(g) above:

(a) The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-member arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the ICC Rules, and the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the ICC Rules within twenty-one days (21) after the appointment of the first arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal, shall be jointly nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators

within twenty-one (21) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. On the request of any party to the arbitration, any arbitrator(s) not timely nominated shall be appointed by the ICC Court of Arbitration (the “ICC Court”) in accordance with the ICC Rules.

(b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in New York, New York, in the English language.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting their dispute to arbitration under the ICC Rules, the Parties expressly agree that all issues of arbitrability, including all issues concerning the propriety and timeliness of the commencement of the arbitration (including any defense based on a statute of limitation, if applicable), the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal, and the procedural conditions for arbitration, shall be finally and solely determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.

(d) Without derogating from paragraph 9.08(e) below, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). The parties shall exclusively submit any application for Interim Relief to only: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an Emergency Arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for in the ICC Rules. Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability, and, moreover, shall also be deemed a term and condition of this Agreement subject to specific performance in Section 9.09 below. The foregoing procedures shall constitute the exclusive means of seeking Interim Relief, provided, however, that (i) the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency Arbitrator; (ii) in the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii) either Party shall retain the right to apply for freezing orders to prevent the improper dissipation of transfer of assets to a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and equitable and that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance and temporary or final injunctive relief, provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages.

(f) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as well as those costs and fees addressed in the ICC Rules, between the parties in the manner it deems fit.

(g) Arbitration under this Section 9.08 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered thereby shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets.

(h) The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the Arbitral Tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 9.08 (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

Section 9.09 Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that, from and after the Distribution, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 9.10 Interpretation; Conflict With Ancillary Agreements. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, Article, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section, Article, Annex or Exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement or in any Exhibit are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified. Any reference to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. statute or Law shall be deemed to also refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context otherwise requires.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement shall govern all matters (including any indemnities and payments among the parties and each other member of their respective Groups and the allocation of any rights and obligations pursuant to agreements entered into with Third Parties) relating to Taxes or otherwise specifically addressed in the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
