amounts as Pubco is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision
of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such
amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the

by Pubco to be necessary or desirable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents or to vest Pubco with full right, title and possession of and to all Contributed
Interests, the officers and directors of Pubco shall be fully authorized (in the name of the
Company, the Contributors or otherwise) to take such action.
