The Party responsible, or whose Affiliate is responsible, for filing a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return under applicable Law shall file or cause to be filed such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return with the applicable Taxing Authority.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Preparing Party is responsible for the costs and expenses associated with such preparation. Payments between a Party or any of its Affiliates and another Party or any of its

- 19 -

Affiliates for reasonable preparation costs and expenses shall be treated as amounts deductible by the paying Party and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 162 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law), and none of the Parties or any of their Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment, except to the extent a Final Determination with respect to the paying entity causes such payment to not be so treated (in which case the payment shall be treated in accordance with such Final Determination).

(b) Tax Package. To the extent not previously provided, each Party other than the Preparing Party shall (at its own cost and expense), to the extent that a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return includes items of that Party or its Affiliates, prepare and provide or cause to be prepared and provided to the Preparing Party (and make available or cause to be made available to the other Party) a Tax Package relating to that Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return. Such Tax Package shall be provided in a timely manner consistent with the past practices of the Parties and their Affiliates. Schedule 2.1(a) sets forth the Parties that are responsible for providing a Tax Package relating to a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return. In the event a Party does not fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.l(b), the Preparing Party shall be entitled, at the sole cost and expense of the defaulting Party, to prepare or cause to be prepared the information required to be included in the Tax Package for purposes of preparing any such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return.

(i) In the case of Straddle Income Tax Returns, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of each such Tax Return (reduced to ten (10) days for state or local Straddle Income Tax Returns), the Preparing Party shall make available or cause to be made available drafts of such Tax Return (together with all related work papers) to each of the other Parties. The other Parties shall have access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of all such Straddle Income Tax Returns and the Parties shall cooperate fully in the preparation and review of such Straddle Income Tax Returns. Subject to the preceding sentence, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Straddle Income Tax Returns (reduced to five (5) days for state or local Straddle Income Tax Returns), each Party shall have a right to object to such Straddle Income Tax Return (or items with respect thereto) by written notice to the other Parties; such written notice shall contain such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection.

(ii) With respect to a Straddle Income Tax Return submitted by the Preparing Party to the other Parties pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i), if the other Parties do not object by proper written notice within the time period described, such Straddle Income Tax Return shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and to be final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 2.2(c)(ii). If a Party does object by proper written notice within such applicable time period, the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Parties have not reached a final resolution with respect to all disputed items for which proper written notice was given within ten (10) days (reduced to two (2) days for state or local Straddle Income Tax Returns) prior to the Due Date for such Straddle Income Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared pursuant to this Section 2.2 (revised to reflect all initially disputed items that the Parties have agreed upon prior to such date).

(iii) In the event that a Straddle Income Tax Return is filed that includes any disputed item for which proper notice was given pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) that was not finally resolved and agreed upon, such disputed item (or items) shall be resolved in

- 22 -

accordance with Article XIII. In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) in accordance with Article XIII with respect to a Straddle Income Tax Return is inconsistent with such Straddle Income Tax Return as filed, the Preparing Party (with cooperation from the other Parties) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such Tax Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items). In the event that the amount of Taxes shown to be due and owing on a Straddle Income Tax Return is adjusted as a result of a resolution pursuant to Article XIII, proper adjustment shall be made to the amounts previously paid or required to be paid by the Parties in accordance with Article III in a manner that reflects such resolution.

Section 2.3 Responsibility of Parties to Prepare and File Post-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Non-Income Tax Returns. The Party or its Affiliate responsible under applicable Law for filing a Post-Distribution Income Tax Return or a Non-Income Tax Return shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed that Tax Return (at that Party’s own cost and expense).

Section 2.4 Time of Filing Tax Returns; Manner of Tax Return Preparation. Each Tax Return shall be filed on or prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return by the Party responsible for filing such Tax Return hereunder. Unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority pursuant to a Final Determination, the Parties shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns and take all other actions in a manner consistent with (and shall not take any position inconsistent with) any assumptions, representations, warranties, covenants, and conclusions provided by the Parties (or any of their Subsidiaries) in connection with the Plan of Separation.

REFUNDS, CARRYBACKS AND AMENDED TAX RETURNS

Section 4.1 Refunds.

(a) The Parties shall share Refunds as follows: (1) a Party shall be entitled to all Refunds that relate to Taxes, other than Shared Taxes, for which such Party (or its Subsidiaries) is liable, (2) a Party shall be entitled to Refunds claimed on an originally filed Tax Return that reflect an overpayment of estimated Taxes as compared to the Tax liability reported on such originally filed Tax Return, and (3) except to the extent described in clause (1) or (2), (x) Refunds that are related to or paid in respect of an Income Tax Return the Audit of which would constitute a Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audit, and (y) for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, Trident’s share of Refunds for payments of Taxes subject to Section 9.3(c) and received pursuant to the Trident 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement (collectively, a “Shared Refund”) shall be shared by the Parties in the following order:

(i) First, to the extent that the Threshold Base Amount on the date that the Refund is received is in excess of the Second Tax Contingency Amount, Trident, Fountain and Athens NA shall share all Shared Refunds to such extent and in the same proportion as their respective Sharing Percentages.

- 24 -

(ii) Second, to the extent that the Threshold Base Amount on the date that the Refund is received is in excess of the First Tax Contingency Amount but less than or equal to the Second Tax Contingency Amount, Fountain and Athens NA shall share all such Shared Refunds to the extent and in the same proportion as their respective Second Sharing Percentages.

(iii) Third, to the extent that the Threshold Base Amount on the date that the Refund is received is less than or equal to the First Tax Contingency Amount, Trident shall be entitled to all Shared Refunds.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Parties’ intention that Shared Refunds shall be paid to the Parties in a manner that refunds aggregate payments made under Sections 5.l(a), 9.3(a), and 9.3(c) on a “last in, first out” basis. To the extent that a Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) receives and is entitled to a Refund under Section 4.1(a)(2) all or a portion of which is attributable to payments of estimated Taxes by another Party (or any of its Subsidiaries), the first Party shall pay to such other Party the portion of the Refund attributable to such other Party’s payments of estimated Taxes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Refund is the result of the carryback by a Party (or one of such Party’s Affiliates) of a Tax Attribute generated in a Post-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period permitted pursuant to Section 4.2 solely because such carryback cannot result in one or more other Parties (or their Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes, such Refund shall not be shared with any other Party.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.l(a), to the extent a claim for a Refund by a Party is reasonably likely to result in a Correlative Detriment to another Party or Parties, such Refund shall, to the extent actually received by such claiming Party, be paid proportionately to the Party or Parties that are reasonably likely to realize such Correlative Detriment, but only to the extent of such Correlative Detriment.

(c) Any Refund or portion thereof to which a Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1 that is received or deemed to have been received as described below by another Party (or its Subsidiaries) shall be paid by such other Party to such first Party. To the extent a Party (or its Subsidiaries) applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such Refund, if received, would have been payable by such Party to another Party (or Parties) pursuant to this Section 4.1, such Party shall be deemed to have actually received a Refund to the extent thereof on the date on which the overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction of a previously received Refund shall be treated as an additional Tax payable for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Carrybacks. Each of the Parties shall be permitted (but not required) to carryback (or to cause its Affiliates to carryback) a Tax Attribute realized in a Post-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period only if such carryback cannot result in one or more other Parties (or their Affiliates) being liable

- 25 -

for additional Taxes. If a carryback could result in one or more other Parties (or their Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes, such carryback shall be permitted only if all of such Parties consent to such carryback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Party that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Affiliates to claim) a Tax Attribute carryback, shall be liable for any Taxes that become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the carryback claim; provided, however, if the carryback results in a Refund that is shared or allocated pursuant to Section 4.l(a) or (b), any Taxes arising from and attributable to an adjustment to the claim for such carryback shall be shared or allocated by the applicable Parties, as the case may be, in the same proportion that the Refund was shared by or allocated to each applicable Party.

Section 4.3 Amended Tax Returns.

(a) Subject to Section 4.4 and notwithstanding Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, a Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period for members of its Tax Group shall be permitted to prepare and file an amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that (i) such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the Parties and their Affiliates shall not take any position inconsistent with) past practices of the Parties and their Affiliates or supported by an unqualified reasoned “should” or “will” opinion of a Qualified Tax Advisor, unless otherwise modified by a Final Determination or required by applicable Law, the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, or the Tax Opinions; and (ii) if such amended Tax Return could result in one or more other Parties becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to Article III or a payment to a Party pursuant to Article IX, such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the consent of such other Parties is obtained. The consent of such other Parties shall not be withheld unreasonably and shall be deemed to be obtained in the event that a Party (or its Subsidiary) is required to file an amended Tax Return as a result of an Audit adjustment that arose in accordance with Article IX.

(b) A Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Post-Distribution Tax Period, shall be permitted to do so at its own cost and expense and without the consent of any Party.

(c) A Party that is permitted (or whose Subsidiary is permitted) to file an amended Tax Return, shall not be relieved of any liability for payments pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding that another Party consented thereto.

Section 4.4 State RAR Returns.

(a) The Audit Management Party shall be responsible for preparing and filing any and all amended Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Distribution Tax Periods or Straddle Tax Periods required to report the results of an IRS Final Determination to the states (“State RAR Returns”). The Audit Management Party shall make available or cause to be made available drafts of such State RAR Returns (together with all related work papers) to each of the other Parties.

- 26 -

(b) The other Parties shall have access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of all such State RAR Returns and the Parties shall cooperate fully in the preparation and review of such State RAR Returns. Subject to the preceding sentence, no later than five (5) days after receipt of such State RAR Returns, each Party shall have a right to object only to the calculation of the amount of the payment (but not the basis for the payment) by written notice to the other Parties; such written notice shall contain such disputed item or items and the basis for its objection. If no Party objects by proper written notice to the other Parties within the time period described in this Section 4.4(b), the calculation of the amounts due and owing from each Party shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 4.4(b). If any Party objects by proper written notice to the other Parties within such time period, the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable in accordance with Article XIII. The Audit Management Party shall file such State RAR Returns and pay applicable Taxes on or prior to the Due Date for such reporting and payment. The other Parties shall reimburse the Audit Management Party for the portion of such payments for which such other Parties are liable pursuant to this Section 4.4(b). In the event that a State RAR Return is filed that includes any disputed item for which proper notice was given pursuant to this Section 4.4 that was not finally resolved and agreed upon, such disputed item (or items) shall be resolved in accordance with Article XIII. In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) in accordance with Article XIII with respect to a State RAR Return is inconsistent with such State RAR Return as filed, the Audit Management Party (with cooperation from the other Parties) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such State RAR Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items).

Section 4.5 Agreement from party Administering and Controlling Audit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, any carryback (other than a carryback required by applicable Law) or amended Tax Return and any associated payments of Tax otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3, and Section 4.4 respectively, shall only be made with the written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of the Party that would be responsible under Article IX for administering and controlling any Audit that arises with respect to the Tax Return to which the carryback or the amended Tax Return relates, if different from the Party (or its Subsidiary) that is exercising its rights under Section 4.2, Section 4.3, or Section 4.4.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTION TAXES

Section 5.1 Liability for Distribution Taxes. In the event that Distribution Taxes become due and payable to a Taxing Authority pursuant to a Final Determination, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) No Fault. If such Distribution Taxes are not attributable to the Fault of any Party or any of its Affiliates, the responsibility for such Distribution Taxes shall be shared by the Parties in accordance with the provisions in Section 9.3(a) that are applicable to Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits.

- 27 -

(b) Fault. If such Distribution Taxes are attributable to the Fault of one or more Parties or any of their Affiliates, the responsibility for such Distribution Taxes shall reside with the Party or Parties at Fault. If more than one Party is at Fault, the responsibility for the Distribution Taxes shall be allocated equally among all of the Parties at Fault.

Section 5.2 Payment for Use of Tax Attributes by Parties at Fault. Notwithstanding Section 5.1, if a Party is at Fault within the meaning of Section 5.3, and such Fault would have resulted in Distribution Taxes becoming due and payable but for the use of the Tax Attributes of one or more other Parties (or their Subsidiaries), the Party at Fault shall pay to each such other Party the amount of Distribution Taxes that did not become due and payable as a result of the use of that other Party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) Tax Attributes. Such payment shall be made by the Party using the Tax Attribute to the other Party. For purposes of computing the amount of the payment under this Section 5.2 for the use of the other Party’s Tax Attributes, the Parties shall assume that the other Party (and each of its Subsidiaries) is subject to an effective tax rate of thirty-eight percent (38%); provided, however, that such effective tax rate shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 14.21(c) of this Agreement. If more than one Party is at Fault, the responsibility for the payment shall be allocated equally among all of the Parties at Fault.

Section 5.3 Definition of Fault. For purposes of this Agreement, Distribution Taxes shall be deemed to result from the fault (“Fault”) of a Party if such Distribution Taxes are directly attributable to, or result from:

(a) any act, or failure or omission to act, by such Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates following the Distributions that results in one or more Parties (or any of their Affiliates) being responsible for such Distribution Taxes pursuant to a Final Determination, regardless of whether such act or failure to act (i) is covered by a Post-Distribution Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion, or waiver in accordance with Section 5.4, or (ii) occurs during or after the Restricted Period, or

(b) the direct or indirect acquisition of all or a portion of the stock of such Party or of any of such Party’s Affiliates that is a Section 355 Entity (or any transaction or series of related transactions that is deemed to be such an acquisition for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) by any means whatsoever by any person including pursuant to an issuance of stock by such Party or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.4 Limits on Proposed Acquisition Transactions and Other Transactions During Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, no Party shall:

(f) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action or approve or allow the taking of any action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of the stock of such Party, any of the Section 355 Entities, or any of the Transferee Entities;

(g) issue shares of a new class of nonvoting stock or approve or allow any of the Section 355 Entities or the Transferee Entities to issue shares of a new class of nonvoting stock;

(h) purchase, directly or through any Affiliate, any of its outstanding stock after the Distributions, other than through stock purchases meeting the requirements of Section 4.05(l)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (without regard to the effect of Revenue Procedure 2003-48 on Revenue Procedure 96-30);

(i) approve or allow payment of an extraordinary distribution by any of the Transferee Entities to any of the Transferor Entities, or a redemption of shares of any of the Transferee Entities held by any of the Transferor Entities (in the case of any of the Transferee Entities or the Transferor Entities, including any successor thereto);

(j) approve or allow an extraordinary contribution to any of the Section 355 Entities (or any successor thereto) by its shareholder or shareholders (or any successor(s) thereto);

(k) take any action or fail to take any action, or permit any of its Affiliates to take any action or fail to take any action, that is inconsistent with any representation or covenant made in the IRS Ruling or in the Tax Representation Letters, or that is inconsistent with any ruling or opinion in the IRS Ruling or any Tax Opinion; or

(l) take any action or permit any of its Affiliates to take any action that, in the aggregate (taking into account other transactions described in this Section 5.4) would be reasonably likely to jeopardize Tax-Free Status;

provided, however, that a Party (the “Requesting Party”) shall be permitted to take such action or one or more actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) through (1) if, prior to taking any such actions: (1) if the Requesting Party is Fountain, (A) Fountain or Trident shall have received a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS, or a ruling from another Taxing Authority (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Athens NA and Trident

- 29 -

that confirms that such action or actions will not result in U.S. federal or state Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate, or (B) Fountain shall have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Athens NA and Trident, that confirms that such action or actions will not result in U.S. federal or state Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate; (2) if the Requesting Party is Trident or Athens NA, (A) such Requesting Party shall have received a Post-Distribution Ruling(s), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Parties, that confirms that such action or actions will not result in U.S. federal or state, Puerto Rican or Canadian Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate, or (B) such Requesting Party shall have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion(s), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Parties, that confirms that such action or actions will not result in U.S. federal or state, Puerto Rican or Canadian Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate; or (3) such Requesting Party shall have received a written statement from each of the other Parties that provides that such other Party waives the requirement to obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion described in this paragraph.

Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with securing or evaluating any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

Section 5.5 Qualified Tax Counsel Advance Conflict Waiver. Unless prohibited by Law or the ethical rules applicable to attorneys, each of the Parties agrees to waive or to cause its Affiliates to waive in advance any conflicts that must be waived in order to permit Qualified Tax Counsel to (i) evaluate whether a Party’s proposed action or actions constitute any of the actions described in clauses (a) through (1) in Section 5.4 or (ii) issue any Unqualified Tax Opinions to be obtained by a Party pursuant to this Article V.

Section 5.6 IRS Ruling, Non-U.S. Tax Rulings, Tax Representation Letters, and Tax Opinions; Consistency.

If such payments are individually or in the aggregate during the calendar quarter equal to or greater than $10 million, the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of the payment to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 14.3 at least ten (10) Business Days in advance

- 33 -

of the date or dates on which the obligations giving rise to the indemnification payment must be satisfied (in the case of aggregate payments in excess of $10 million, the earliest date that any such payment must be satisfied), and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to make payment to the Indemnified Party no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice. The Indemnified Party shall, within one (1) Business Day after the date on which the obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment is satisfied, pay interest to the Indemnifying Party that accrues (at a rate equal to one (1) week LIBOR minus twenty-five (25) basis points) on the amount of such payment from the date of receipt of such payment by the Indemnified Party until the date on which the obligation is satisfied.

(b) Procedural Matters. The written notice delivered to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 14.3 shall show the amount due and owing together with a schedule calculating in reasonable detail such amount (and shall include any relevant Tax Return, statement, xxxx or invoice related to Taxes, costs, expenses or other amounts due and owing). All payments required to be made by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be made by electronic, same-day wire transfer. Payments shall be deemed made when received. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make a payment to the Indemnified Party within the time period set forth in this Section 8.1, such Indemnifying Party shall not be considered to be in breach of its covenants and obligations established in this Section 8.1 unless and until such failure exists on the date on which the obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment must be satisfied; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party (i) interest that accrues (at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two hundred (200) basis points) on the amount of such payment from the time that such payment was due to the Indemnified Party until the date that payment is actually made to the Indemnified Party; and (ii) any costs or expenses, including any breakage costs, incurred by the Indemnified Party to secure such payment or to satisfy the Indemnifying Party’s portion of the obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment.

(c) Right of Setoff. It is expressly understood that an Indemnifying Party is hereby authorized to set off and apply any and all amounts required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.1 against any and all of the obligations of the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party arising under Section 8.1 of this Agreement that are then either due and payable or past due, but only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has made any demand for payment with respect to such obligations.

Section 8.2 Treatment of Payments Made Pursuant to Tax Sharing Agreement. Unless otherwise required by Law, a Final Determination or this Agreement, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement by:

(a) a Spinco Party to Trident shall be treated as an adjustment to one or more transfers of assets to such Spinco Party by Trident or one or more of Trident’s Subsidiaries (determined immediately prior to the Athens NA Distribution or the Fountain Distribution, whichever is earlier), as applicable, pursuant to the Plan of Separation;

(b) Trident to a Spinco Party shall be treated as an adjustment to one or more transfers to such Spinco Party by Trident or one or more of Trident’s Subsidiaries (determined immediately prior to the Athens NA Distribution or the Fountain Distribution, whichever is earlier), as applicable, pursuant to the Plan of Separation;

- 34 -

(c) a Spinco Party to another Spinco Party shall be treated as (1) first, an adjustment to one or more transfers as described in Section 8.2(a) and (2) second, as a transfer as described in Section 8.2(b); and

in each case, none of the Parties shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Agreement (ignoring any potential inconsistent or adverse Final Determination), such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 8.3 Treatment of Payments Made Pursuant to Separation and Distribution Agreements. Except as otherwise provided in the Separation and Distribution Agreements and unless otherwise required by a Final Determination or this Article VIII, for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, payments made pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreements shall be treated in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 8.2. Payments made by a Party for costs and expenses relating to Assumed Trident Contingent Liabilities or otherwise pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreements shall be treated as amounts deductible by such Party pursuant to Section 162 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law), and none of the Parties shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment, except to the extent that there is a Final Determination with respect to the paying Party that such payment is not deductible. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreements should be other than as set forth in this Agreement (ignoring any potential inconsistent or adverse Final Determination), such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 8.4 Payments Net of Tax Benefit Realized. All amounts required to be paid by one Party to another pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreements shall be net of the Tax Benefit Realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

ARTICLE IX

AUDITS

Section 9.1 Notice. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after a Party or any of its Affiliates receives a written notice from a Taxing Authority (reduced to five (5) Business Days for written notices received from a state or local Taxing Authority) of the existence of an Audit that may require indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, that Party shall notify the other Parties of such receipt and send such notice to the other Parties by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, or by facsimile with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service). The failure of one Party to notify the other Parties of an Audit shall not relieve such other Party of any liability and/or obligation that it may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

- 35 -

Section 9.2 Pre-Distribution Audits.

(a) Determination of Administering Party. Subject to Sections 9.2(b), 9.2(c), and 9.2(d):

(i) The Initial Audit Management Party and its Subsidiaries shall administer and control all Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits, Tax Audits related to the Broadview Acquisition Transaction, and Tax Audits related to the Canadian Distribution Transactions.

(ii) All other Audits with respect to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period shall be administered and controlled by the Party and its Subsidiaries that would be primarily liable under applicable Law to pay to the applicable Taxing Authority the Taxes resulting from such Audits; provided, however, that if more than one Party is liable under applicable Law for Taxes resulting from such Audit, the controlling Party shall not settle such Audit without the prior written consent of each other Party that would be liable for Taxes resulting from such Audit.

(b) Administration and Control; Cooperation. Subject to Section 9.2(c) and to a Change of Control or a Bankruptcy of the Audit Management Party as provided below, the Audit Management Party shall have absolute authority to make all decisions (determined in its sole discretion) with respect to the administration and control of an Audit described in Section 9.2(a)(i), including the selection of all external advisors. In that regard, the Audit Management Party (i) may in its sole discretion settle or otherwise determine not to continue to contest any issue related to such Audit without the consent of the other Parties, and (ii) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to settlement of an issue that could cause one or more other Parties to become responsible for Taxes under Section 9.3, notify the Audit Representatives of such other Parties of such settlement. The other Parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) undertake all actions and execute all documents (including an extension of the applicable statute of limitations) that are determined in the sole discretion of the Audit Management Party to be necessary to effectuate such administration and control. The Parties shall act in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully with each other Party (and their Affiliates) in connection with such Audit and shall provide or cause their Subsidiaries to provide such information to each other as may be necessary or useful with respect to such Audit in a timely manner, identify and provide access to potential witnesses, and other persons with knowledge and other information within its control and reasonably necessary to the resolution of the Audit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2(b) and except with respect to any Pre-2007 Distribution Tax Period, after a Change of Control or a Bankruptcy of the Audit Management Party, the Audit Management Party shall not, prior to the resolution of the vote permitted under Section 9.2(d)(ii) as a result of such Change of Control or Bankruptcy, choose to litigate any issue with respect to an Audit or make any decision to change the forum or jurisdiction with respect to which an issue arising under an Audit is being litigated, without the prior written consent of all of the Parties.

- 36 -

(i) Each Party that would be responsible under Section 9.3 for Taxes resulting from an Audit described in Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than the Audit Management Party) (a “Participating Party”) shall have limited participation rights as set forth in this Section 9.2(c) with respect to such Audit. Promptly after the Distributions, the Audit Management Party shall arrange for a meeting or conference call that includes all of the Participating Parties to discuss the status of all ongoing Audits. In addition, promptly after notification of an Audit pursuant to Section 9.1, the Audit Management Party shall arrange for a meeting or conference call that includes all of the Participating Parties to plan for the management of such Audit; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply with respect to notification of an Audit by a U.S. state (or the District of Columbia) of a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or a Straddle Income Tax Return. Thereafter, the Participating Parties and the Audit Management Party shall arrange for a meeting or conference call to be held on a monthly basis (or on such other basis as agreed) in order to facilitate regular communication on the status of the Audits. The Participating Parties and the Audit Management Party may determine from time to time to have a separate special meeting to discuss a significant Audit issue. Each Participating Party shall identify any personnel and external advisors who are participating in each of the meetings described above, and shall provide a list of the names of such persons to the Audit Management Party in advance of such meeting.

(ii) Upon the reasonable request of a Participating Party, the Audit Management Party shall make available relevant personnel and external advisors to meet with the Participating Party and its independent auditor in order to review the status of the Audits. The independent auditors of the Participating Parties shall have reasonable access to Audit-related information and personnel. The Participating Parties shall provide the Audit Management Party with reasonable notice of such requested meetings or information.

(iii) Except as provided herein, the Participating Parties shall have no access to the external advisors retained by the Audit Management Party to advise it and its Subsidiaries on matters pertaining to an Audit (“Audit External Advisor”) except to the extent that the Audit Management Party reasonably determines that the attendance of an Audit External Advisor at a meeting described in (i) or (ii) above is appropriate. In the event that any such meeting is attended by an Audit External Advisor, the Audit Management Party and the Participating Parties shall have the right to participate in such meeting by telephone or in person. The Audit Management Party shall provide the Participating Parties with notice (including the time and location) of such meeting at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance thereof. Any Participating Party may request a meeting with an Audit External Advisor on matters that are unrelated to the Audit; provided, however, that if the matter involves evaluating Audit-related issues, the requesting Participating Party must give the Audit Management Party and any other Participating Party at least twenty-four (24) hours notice prior to such meeting so that each such Party can elect to participate (failure to respond to the Participating Party’s notice prior to the meeting shall constitute an election to decline participation). No Participating Party shall request an opinion on an Audit-related issue from an Audit External Advisor, except to the extent such Audit-related issue relates to an item in a period other than a Pre-2007 Distribution Tax Period and the Audit Management Party affirmatively declines to obtain such opinion.

(iv) Each Participating Party shall have access to any written documentation in the possession of the Audit Management Party that pertains to the Audit

- 37 -

(including any written summaries of issues that the Audit Management Party has developed in the context of evaluating the financial reporting of the Audit) and the Audit Management Party shall make such information available in the offices of the Audit Management Party; provided, however, that if documentation was prepared solely by or on behalf of a Participating Party, then the documentation must relate to the joint defense of the Audit. Such access shall be provided at such times and in such manner as the Audit Management Party and the Participating Parties agree, but no less frequently than monthly. Copies of the documentation will be made available to the Participating Parties at their sole cost and expense. The Audit Management Party shall undertake to use reasonable efforts to include within the written documentation described above information that is transmitted through electronic means, such as through internet e-mail. Subject to the exceptions listed on Schedule 9.2(c)(iv), the Audit Management Party shall maintain an internet-based or other electronic document repository system for written documentation related to the Audit, and each of the Participating Parties shall be granted, if so requested, “read only” access to such repository system at such requesting Participating Party’s own cost and expense. Such system shall be managed and controlled by the Audit Management Party and all decisions with respect to the system (including but not limited to the documents to be posted to such system) shall be made by the Audit Management Party in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the U.S. Audit Management Party shall at a minimum post documents that relate to Audits of Trident’s, Athens NA’s and Fountain’s Subsidiaries arising with respect to U.S. federal, state and local Income Taxes in a manner that is consistent with the U.S. Audit Management Party’s document posting practices with respect to such Audits immediately prior to the Distribution Date. An illustrative, but not exclusive, list of the documents and other information to be made available by the Audit Management Party to the Participating Parties is set forth in Schedule 9.2(c)(iv).

(v) The Participating Parties are encouraged to provide consultation to the Audit Management Party in regards to Audit strategy and shall, upon request of the Audit Management Party, provide such consultation. The Participating Party may elect to employ separate counsel to advise the Participating Party as additional counsel in or in connection with an Audit, but in that event, the fees and expenses of the separate counsel shall be paid solely by the Participating Party. The Audit Management Party shall in good faith consider all advice and other input received from the Participating Parties in connection with their consultations with respect to an Audit. However, the Audit Management Party shall retain the sole authority to make all Audit decisions. In that regard, the Participating Parties and their separate counsels shall not be allowed to participate in any Audit-related meetings other than those described in (i) or (ii) above (unless such a meeting is attended by the personnel of a Participating Party, in which case that Participating Party may attend the meeting but may not actively participate), respond directly to a Taxing Authority conducting the Audit, or in any manner control resolution of the Audit.

(d) Change in Audit Management Party.

(i) Subject to Section 9.2(d)(vi), upon (a) the second anniversary following the Effective Time and annually on each anniversary date thereafter; (b) the expiration of the three (3)-month period following a Change of Control of the Audit Management Party; (c) the expiration of the three (3)-month period following a Bankruptcy of the Audit Management Party; or (d) any point in time at which the Threshold Base Amount has either exceeded the First

- 38 -

Tax Contingency Amount or, following such event, has decreased to an amount below the First Tax Contingency Amount (each of (a), (b), (c) and (d), a “Tax Management Change Event”), a Participating Party’s Audit Representative may call for a vote to decide whether the current Audit Management Party should be replaced by another Participating Party by providing written notice of such vote to the other Participating Parties thirty (30) days prior to such Tax Management Change Event (“Administration Vote Notice”).

(ii) Within fifteen (15) days after the Audit Management Party and any other Participating Party’s receipt of an Administration Vote Notice, the Audit Management Party’s and any other Participating Party’s Audit Representatives shall meet together (either in person, telephonically or by other electronic means) and discuss any information that is deemed to be relevant to the vote. Thirty (30) days after the Audit Management Party’s and any other Participating Party’s receipt of an Administration Vote Notice, the Board of Directors of the Audit Management Party and any other Participating Party shall submit to each of the other Parties a written vote identifying the one Party that it casts its vote for to be appointed the Audit Management Party.

(iii) In the case of a vote under (ii) above, if a Participating Party other than the current Audit Management Party receives a majority in number of the votes, that Party (the “Elected Party”) and its Subsidiaries shall be appointed the new Audit Management Party upon delivery of written acceptance of the appointment to each other Party within five (5) days after the vote (“Acceptance Notice”). If the Elected Party delivers the Acceptance Notice, then the Elected Party shall immediately have and assume all of the rights and obligations of the Audit Management Party under this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 9.2(d)(iv), upon delivery of the Acceptance Notice, the Replaced Audit Management Party shall have no further rights or obligations as the Audit Management Party (other than for any expense or cost reimbursements incurred prior to its replacement). If (a) the current Audit Management Party receives a majority in number of votes, (b) no Party receives a majority of the votes cast, or (c) the Elected Party fails to deliver the Acceptance Notice, then the Audit Management Party shall remain the Party then appointed.

(iv) If as a result of a vote under (ii) above, there is a replacement of the then appointed Audit Management Party (the “Replaced Audit Management Party”), the Replaced Audit Management Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to transition to the new Audit Management Party the administration and control of the ongoing Audits that the Replaced Audit Management Party was prior to its replacement responsible for administering and controlling pursuant to Section 9.2(a).

(v) The Audit Management Party and each Participating Party has the exclusive right to replace its respective Audit Representative provided that such Audit Representative must be an employee of such Audit Management Party and Participating Party or any of its Affiliates, and in the event of such replacement, the applicable Audit Management Party and Participating Party shall provide written notice of such replacement to the Audit Management Party and the other Participating Parties as applicable.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Initial Audit Management Party and its Subsidiaries may not be removed until the later to occur of (I)

- 39 -

the termination of the Trident 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and (II) the incurrence of additional Taxes that are due and payable as a result of a Final Determination with respect to a Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audit in an amount greater than the First Tax Contingency Amount.

(e) Sharing of Internal and External Costs and Expenses Related to Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits.

(i) External Costs and Expenses. All external costs and expenses (including all costs and expenses of calculating Taxes and other amounts payable hereunder) that are incurred by the Audit Management Party with respect to a Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audit (including any costs and expenses incurred as a result of any reporting obligations that arise out of an Audit, such as the reporting of any Audit adjustments to the various U.S. states) shall be shared in accordance with the Parties’ Sharing Percentages. The Audit Management Party shall provide to the other Parties at the end of each calendar quarter an invoice for each other Party’s share of the external costs (along with supporting invoices received from the external service providers), and each other Party shall remit, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the invoice, payment of its share of the external costs to the Audit Management Party.

(ii) Internal Costs and Expenses. The U.S. Audit Management Party shall estimate the internal costs and expenses (including any costs and expenses incurred as a result of any reporting obligations that arise out of an Audit, such as the reporting of any Audit adjustments to the various U.S. states) that it expects will be incurred by the U.S. Audit Management Party during the period that starts on the Distribution Date and ends on the last day of the 2015 fiscal year and shall provide such estimate on Schedule 9.2(e)(ii). Each of the other Parties shall pay (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to pay) the U.S. Audit Management Party, within sixty (60) days after the beginning of each fiscal year through 2015, a fixed fee equal to such other Party’s Sharing Percentage multiplied by the internal costs and expenses shown in the estimate provided by the U.S. Audit Management Party on Schedule 9.2(e)(ii). Prior to the end of fiscal year 2015, the Parties shall renegotiate this fee for succeeding periods. No adjustment shall be made for any difference between the internal costs and expenses estimated by the U.S. Audit Management Party and the amount of such costs and expenses that are actually incurred by the U.S. Audit Management Party. The other Parties acknowledge that they may incur internal costs and expenses related to an Audit that are not reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement and that the only internal costs and expenses that are subject to sharing and reimbursement are the internal costs and expenses incurred by the U.S. Audit Management Party as provided in this Section 9.2(e)(ii).

(iii) Maximum Annual Fountain Share of Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Fountain shall not be required to pay in the aggregate in any year (1) for costs incurred under Section 9.2(e)(i) in connection with the Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits related to the U.S. Income Tax Returns for fiscal years 1997 through 2000, more than $1 million or (2) for any other costs incurred under Section 9.2(e)(i) plus any costs incurred under Section 9.2(e)(ii), more than $1 million. To the extent that the annual expenses under this Section 9.2(e) exceed the limitations in the previous sentence, Trident and Athens NA shall share such excess sixty-five and sixty hundred twenty-five thousandths percent (65.625%) and thirty-four and three hundred seventy-five thousandths percent (34.375%), respectively.

- 40 -

(f) Treatment of Costs and Expenses related to Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits. Payments borne by the Parties or any of their Subsidiaries for costs and expenses relating to Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audits shall be treated as amounts deductible by the paying Party (or its Subsidiary) pursuant to Section 162 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law), and none of the Parties or any of their Subsidiaries shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment, except to the extent that a Final Determination with respect to the paying Party or its Subsidiary causes any such payment to not be so treated.

(g) Power of Attorney/Officer Signature. Each Party hereby appoints (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to appoint) the Audit Management Party (and its designated representatives) as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take the actions the Audit Management Party deems necessary or appropriate to implement the responsibilities of the Audit Management Party under this Agreement. Each Participating Party also shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) execute and deliver to the Audit Management Party a power of attorney, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 9.2(g-1), and such other documents as are reasonably requested from time to time by the Audit Management Party (or its designee), including, without limitation, a power of attorney with respect to any Participating Party (or a Subsidiary of a Participating Party) that is sold to an unrelated third party by a Participating Party (or by a Subsidiary of a Participating Party) and with respect to which the Audit Management Party has continued Audit responsibilities under this Agreement or the Trident 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. Such other documents include, but are not limited to, documents signed by an authorized corporate officer of a Participating Party (or a Subsidiary of a Participating Party), where the Audit Management Party determines that a power of attorney is insufficient (in which case such signed documents shall not be withheld) to allow the Audit Management Party to make the necessary or appropriate filings or to take steps necessary or appropriate to the Audit Management Party’s defense, prosecution, or settlement of an Audit under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such power of attorney or such other documents shall not expand the rights or powers of such Audit Management Party beyond those provided by this Agreement; (ii) activities conducted under a power of attorney or such other documents are limited to the activities authorized by that power of attorney or such other documents; (iii) a power of attorney or such other documents delivered by a Participating Party to the Audit Management Party can be revoked only with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Participating Party to which the power of attorney or such other documents relates; and (iv) a revocation of a power of attorney or such other documents by a Participating Party’s Audit Committee also effects the immediate revocation of all powers of attorney or such other documents granted under, or derived from, the authority of the power of attorney that is revoked by that Participating Party’s Audit Committee. Examples of activities for which the signature of a Participating Party’s authorized representative could be required are set forth on Schedule 9.2(g-2).

Each of the Parties and its Affiliates shall have access to all data and information necessary to calculate such amounts and the Parties and their Affiliates shall cooperate fully in the determination of such amounts. Within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt by a Party of the information described in this Section 9.3(e), such Party shall have the right to object only to the calculation of the amount of the payment (but not the basis for the payment) by written notice to the other Parties; such written notice shall contain such disputed item or items and the basis for its objection. If no Party objects by proper written notice to the other Parties within the time period described in this Section 9.3(e), the calculation of the amounts due and owing from each Party shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 9.3(e). If any Party objects by proper written notice to the other Parties within such time period, the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable in accordance with Article XIII. The Party or its Affiliate responsible for paying to the applicable Taxing Authority under applicable Law amounts owed pursuant to a Final Determination shall make such payments to such Taxing Authority prior to the due date for such payments. The other Parties shall reimburse the paying Party for the portion of such payments for which such other Parties are liable pursuant to this Section 9.3. The time periods specified above for submitting a preliminary determination and objecting may be shortened to a time period determined by a Majority of the Parties if these Parties ascertain that such shortened time period is necessary to meet the Audit obligations of the Parties and their Affiliates.

(f) Advance Payment of Taxes. In the event that: (i) the Audit Management Party decides to contest the position of a Taxing Authority taken with respect to a Pre-Distribution Shared Tax Audit in a forum or jurisdiction that requires the prepayment or deposit of the Taxes (or security for the Taxes) in order to contest the Taxes determined by the Taxing Authority to be due and payable, or (ii) the Audit Management Party determines in good faith that it is in the best interest of the Parties to make a prepayment or deposit of Taxes with the IRS in respect of a Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit in accordance with the procedures required by the IRS to suspend the accrual of interest on a potential underpayment of Taxes, including but not limited to a cash deposit or a deposit in the nature of a cash bond (each of (i) and (ii), a “Tax Deposit”), then, in either case (as applicable), each of the other Parties must pay to the Audit Management Party its portion of such Tax Deposit determined in accordance with this Section 9.3, and the Audit Management Party shall promptly remit such Tax Deposit to the applicable Taxing Authority in accordance with such Taxing Authority’s Tax prepayment or deposit procedures, as applicable; provided, however, if (i) the Threshold Base Amount exceeds the First Tax Contingency Amount and (ii) any Party’s portion of such Tax Deposit exceeds $100 million, the Parties shall only be obligated to pay their portions of such Tax Deposit if a Majority of the Parties votes in favor of the Audit Management Party’s decision to make the Tax Deposit. Each of the Parties shall deliver its written vote to the Audit Management Party within ten (10) days of its receipt of written notice of the Audit Management Party’s decision regarding a Tax Deposit and the amount of the required prepayment or deposit. A recoupment of all or a portion of a prepayment or deposit of Taxes resulting from a Final Determination shall be paid to the Party or Parties that contributed to such prepayment or deposit, in proportion to such contributions. No Party shall be liable to any other Party in the event that a Final Determination does not allow for the recovery of all or a portion of a prepayment or deposit.

Section 9.4 Transfer Pricing Adjustment. To the extent that Fountain or Athens NA owes any amount under Sections 9.3(a) or (c) as a result of any Audit involving transfer pricing and that includes an item related to or arising from an intercompany transfer pricing adjustment under Section 482 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, or an analogous provision under U.S. state and local or non-U.S. Law, and also involves a Taxing Authority outside of the United States, Fountain and Athens NA shall be entitled to share, to the same extent, in any Tax benefit arising out of any competent authority relief provided by such Taxing Authority.

Section 9.5 Correlative Adjustment. If as a result of a Final Determination, a Party or its Affiliate becomes entitled to an increase of an item of deduction, loss, or credit (or a reduction of an item of income or gain) that is included in a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Tax Period ending on the Distribution Date, and another Party or its Affiliate suffers a correlative disallowance of an item of deduction, loss or credit (or an increase of an item of income or gain) that is included in a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Tax Period ending on the Distribution Date, the former Party shall pay any amount it actually realizes as a result of the Tax benefit to the latter Party, but only to the extent of the latter Party’s detriment.

DEFAULTED AMOUNTS

Section 12.1 General. In the event that one or more Parties defaults on its obligation to pay Distribution Taxes for which it is liable pursuant to Article V to another Party, then each non-defaulting Party shall be required to pay an equal portion of such Distribution Taxes to such other Party; provided, however, that no payment obligation shall exist under this Section 12.1 with respect to Distribution Taxes that are attributable to the Fault of one or more Parties; provided, further, that any payment of Distribution Taxes by a non-defaulting Party pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall in no way release the defaulting Party from its obligations to pay such Distribution Taxes and any non-defaulting Party may exercise any available legal remedies

- 48 -

available against such defaulting Party; provided, further, that interest shall accrue on any such payment by a non-defaulting Party at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Prime Rate plus four percent (4%), or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood that any defaulting Party’s rights to any amounts to be received by such defaulting Party hereunder may be used via a right of offset to satisfy, in whole or in part, the obligations of such defaulting Party to pay the Distribution Taxes (and obligations for Assumed Trident Contingent Liabilities as such term is defined for purposes of the Separation and Distribution Agreement) that are borne by the non-defaulting Parties; such rights of offset shall be applied in favor of the non-defaulting Party or Parties in proportion to the additional amounts paid by any such non-defaulting Party or Parties.

Section 12.2 Subsidiary Funding. Without limitation of the Parties’ rights and obligations otherwise set forth in this Agreement and provided that no other Party has defaulted on any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, each Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided such funding as is necessary to ensure that its respective Subsidiaries are able to satisfy their respective Tax liabilities to a Taxing Authority that arise as a result of a Final Determination under Section 9.3 of this Agreement, including any such Tax liabilities that, upon default by a Party’s Subsidiary, may result in another Party’s Subsidiary paying or being required to pay the defaulted Tax liabilities to a Taxing Authority.

ARTICLE XIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 13.1 Negotiation. In the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (“Dispute”), the general counsels of the relevant Parties (or such other executive officers designated by the relevant Party) shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Dispute; provided, however, that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Parties in writing, exceed forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt by a party of written notice of such Dispute (“Dispute Notice”); provided, further, that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof, the relevant Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice, and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement to which such Dispute relates occurring after the Dispute Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Dispute has been resolved. If the general counsels of the relevant Parties (or such other executive officers designated by the relevant Party) are unable to resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days from the receipt by a party (or Parties) of a Dispute Notice (or within a different period agreed to by the relevant Parties in writing), the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.2 or Section 13.3, as the case may be.

Section 13.2 Mediation. If, within forty-five (45) days after receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute, the Parties agree to submit the Dispute at the earliest possible date to mediation conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association

- 49 -

(“AAA”), and to bear equally the costs of the mediation. The Parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations related thereto for a period of thirty (30) days or such longer period as they may mutually agree following the initial mediation session (the “Mediation Period”).

Section 13.3 Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Mediation Period, such Dispute shall be determined, at the request of any relevant Party, by arbitration conducted in New York City, in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as modified herein (the “Rules”). There shall be three arbitrators. If there are only two Parties to the arbitration, each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall have twenty (20) days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. If there are three Parties to the arbitration, such Parties shall each appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties under this Section 13.3 shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, ranking and striking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause. Any controversy concerning whether a Dispute is arbitrable, whether arbitration has been waived, whether a Party to or assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this Article XIII shall be determined by the arbitrators. In resolving any Dispute, the Parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply applicable Tax Laws and the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of Law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided, however, the arbitrators shall not be entitled to award punitive, exemplary, treble or any other form of non-compensatory damages unless in connection with indemnification for a third-party claim (and in such a case, only to the extent awarded in such third-party claim).

Section 13.4 Arbitration with Respect to Monetary Damages. In the event the Dispute involves (a) valuation of a liability under this Agreement, (b) an amount in controversy in a Dispute, or (c) an amount of damages following a determination of liability, the arbitration shall proceed in the following manner: Each Party shall submit to the arbitrators and exchange with each other, on a schedule to be determined by the arbitrators, a proposed valuation, amount or damages, as the case may be, together with a statement, including all supporting documents or other evidence upon which it relies, setting forth such Party’s explanation as to why its proposal is reasonable and appropriate. The arbitrators, within fifteen (15) days of receiving such proposals and supporting documents, shall choose between the proposals and shall be limited to awarding only one of the proposals submitted.

- 50 -

Section 13.5 Arbitration Period. Any arbitration proceeding shall be concluded in a maximum of six (6) months from the commencement of the arbitration. The Parties involved in the proceeding may agree in writing to extend the arbitration period if necessary to appropriately resolve the Dispute.

Section 13.6 Treatment of Negotiations, Mediation, and Arbitration. Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to any negotiation, mediation, conference, arbitration, discussion, or arbitration award pursuant to this Article XIII, and any such negotiation, mediation, conference, arbitration, or discussion shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules; provided, however, that such matters may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or stock exchange. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences, and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Disputes. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

Section 13.7 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 13.8 Costs. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement, the costs of any arbitration pursuant to this Article XIII shall be borne by the losing Party or Parties in such proportion as the arbitrator or arbitrators determine based on the facts and circumstances.

Section 13.9 Consolidation. The arbitrators may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between the Parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arise out of or relate essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 14.21 Changes in Law.

(a) Any reference to a provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations, or a Law of another jurisdiction shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision or Law.

(b) If, due to any change in applicable Law or regulations or their interpretation by any court of Law or other governing body having jurisdiction subsequent to the date hereof, performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall become impracticable or impossible, the Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.

(c) To the extent any provision of this Agreement references an effective Tax rate, such rate shall be adjusted to the extent of, and with concurrent effective date as, any change in such Tax rate under applicable Law.

Section 14.22 Authority. Each of the Parties hereto represents to each of the other Parties that (a) it has the corporate power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, (c) it has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement, and (d) this Agreement is a legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equity principles.

Section 14.23 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof. The Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision that is declared invalid, illegal, or unenforceable with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision which it replaces.
