To the extent that the transfer or assignment (or in the case of any Permit, reissuance or replacement) of any SpinCo Asset, the assumption of any SpinCo Liability, the Reorganization, the Distribution or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents requires any Approvals or Notifications, (x) the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to timely obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and timelines and (y) each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any Approvals or Notifications to assign (or, to the extent requested to do so by the Company or RMT Partner, novate) all obligations under SpinCo Contracts and other obligations or Liabilities for which one or more members of the SpinCo Group are liable and that do not constitute SpinCo Liabilities or for which one or more members of the Company Group are liable and that do not constitute Company Liabilities, so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group will be solely responsible for the applicable Liabilities; provided, however, that, except to the extent

-28-

expressly provided in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or as otherwise agreed among the Parties, no Party shall be obligated to (and neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group nor, prior to the Distribution Time, SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group shall, without the prior written consent of RMT Partner) (i) amend or modify any Contract in a manner adverse in any material respect to any member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group, (ii) modify, relinquish, forbear or narrow any material right, (iii) contribute capital or pay any non-de minimis consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications, or (iv) commence any Action, in each case, in connection with the actions required by the foregoing clauses (x) and (y).

(b) Delayed SpinCo Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the SpinCo Group of any SpinCo Asset or assumption by the SpinCo Group of any SpinCo Liability in connection with the Reorganization, the Distribution or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Distribution Time then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the SpinCo Group of such SpinCo Assets or the assumption by the SpinCo Group of such SpinCo Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such SpinCo Assets or SpinCo Liabilities shall continue to constitute SpinCo Assets and SpinCo Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Treatment of Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any SpinCo Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any SpinCo Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Distribution Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason (any such SpinCo Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed SpinCo Asset” and any such SpinCo Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed SpinCo Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the Company Group retaining such Delayed SpinCo Asset or such Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, in trust for the use and benefit of the member of the SpinCo Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the SpinCo Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Company Group retaining such Delayed SpinCo Asset or such Delayed SpinCo Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with SpinCo Business past practice and the Parties will take such other actions as they may reasonably agree in good faith (including entering into appropriate documentation formalizing the arrangements and treatment contemplated by this paragraph) in order to place the Parties in a substantially similar position as

-29-

if such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Distribution Time to the SpinCo Group. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (including pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law)), each of the Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (x) any Delayed SpinCo Asset as an Asset owned by the Party entitled to such Delayed SpinCo Asset, and (y) any Delayed SpinCo Liability as a Liability of the Party intended to be responsible for such Delayed SpinCo Liability, in each case not later than the Distribution Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment.

(d) Transfer of Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed SpinCo Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed SpinCo Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed SpinCo Asset or the assumption of any Delayed SpinCo Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed SpinCo Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and/or any other applicable Transaction Document. The Company shall (x) be solely responsible for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Company, RMT Partner, SpinCo or any members of their respective Groups to effect such transfer, assignment or assumption (provided that RMT Partner and SpinCo shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs and expenses) and (y) promptly reimburse RMT Partner and SpinCo for any such out-of-pocket reasonable and documented costs, fees, expenses or other payments (including Taxes) incurred after the Distribution Time by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group. RMT Partner shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the SpinCo Group to, promptly pay to the Company any refunds or other amounts received by RMT Partner or such member of the SpinCo Group (including any refunds or credits of Taxes) in respect of costs, fees, expenses and other payments referenced in the prior sentence; provided that neither RMT Partner nor any such members of the SpinCo Group shall be required to make any payments to the extent it would place them in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been in if such payments referenced in the prior sentence were never made.

(e) Costs for Delayed SpinCo Assets and Delayed SpinCo Liabilities. Any member of the Company Group retaining a Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed SpinCo Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed SpinCo Liability, as the case may be, shall be promptly reimbursed by SpinCo or the member of the SpinCo Group entitled to the Delayed SpinCo Asset or Delayed SpinCo Liability for any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees) incurred in connection with the actions taken by such member of the Company Group pursuant to Section 2.4(c). The Company shall cause the applicable member of

-30-

the Company Group to promptly pay to SpinCo or another member of the SpinCo Group any refunds or other amounts received by such member of the Company Group (including any refunds or credits of Taxes) in respect of costs, fees, expenses and other payments referred to in the prior sentence; provided that neither the Company nor any such members of the Company Group shall be required to make any payments to the extent it would place them in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been in if such payments referenced in the prior sentence were never made. The Company Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution of value of any Delayed SpinCo Asset without first providing the SpinCo Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the SpinCo Group a commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution in value.

(f) Approvals and Notifications for Company Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment (or, in the case of any Permit, reissuance or replacement) of any Company Asset, the assumption of any Company Liability, the Reorganization, the Distribution or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to timely obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and timelines; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or as otherwise agreed among the Parties, no Party shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any non-de minimis consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications. The Company shall be solely responsible for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including consent fees) incurred by the Company or any member of the Company Group (and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Time) in connection with its efforts pursuant to this Section 2.4(f).

(g) Delayed Company Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Company Group of any Company Asset or assumption by the Company Group of any Company Liability in connection with the Reorganization, the Distribution or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Distribution Time then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the Company Group of such Company Assets or the assumption by the Company Group of such Company Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Company Assets or Company Liabilities shall continue to constitute Company Assets and Company Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Treatment of Delayed Company Assets and Delayed Company Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Company Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Company Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Distribution Time whether

-31-

as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(g) or for any other reason (any such Company Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Company Asset” and any such Company Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Company Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the SpinCo Group retaining such Delayed Company Asset or such Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, in trust for the use and benefit of the member of the Company Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Company Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the SpinCo Group retaining such Delayed Company Asset or such Delayed Company Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Company Group past practice and the Parties will take such other actions as they may reasonably agree in good faith (including entering into appropriate documentation formalizing the arrangements and treatment contemplated by this paragraph) in order to place the Parties in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Distribution Time to the Company Group. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (including pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law)), each of the Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (x) any Delayed Company Asset as an Asset owned by the Party entitled to such Delayed Company Asset, and (y) any Delayed Company Liability as a Liability of the Party intended to be responsible for such Delayed Company Liability, in each case not later than the Distribution Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment.

(i) Transfer of Delayed Company Assets and Delayed Company Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Company Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Company Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(g), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Company Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Company Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Company Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and/or any other applicable Transaction Document. The Company shall (x) be solely responsible for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by either the Company, SpinCo or any members of their respective Groups to effect such transfer, assignment or assumption (provided that RMT Partner and SpinCo shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs and expenses) and (y) promptly reimburse RMT Partner for any such out-of-pocket reasonable and documented costs, fees, expenses or other payments (including Taxes) incurred after the Distribution Time by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group.

-32-

costs, fees, expenses and other payments referenced in the prior sentence; provided that neither RMT Partner nor any such members of the SpinCo Group shall be required to make any payments to the extent it would place them in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been if such payments referenced in the prior sentence were never made.

(j) Costs for Delayed Company Assets and Delayed Company Liabilities. Any member of the SpinCo Group retaining a Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Company Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Company Liability, as the case may be, shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company or the member of the Company Group entitled to the Delayed Company Asset or Delayed Company Liability for any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees) incurred in connection with the actions taken by such member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to Section 2.4(h).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that at any time on or after the Closing Date, (i) the Company may, in consultation in good faith with RMT Partner, take any action to terminate, obtain release of or otherwise limit its liability under any and all outstanding Company Support Obligations (provided that such action would not result in any non-de minimis Liability for RMT Partner and its Subsidiaries, other than any Liability that is fully reimbursed or borne by the Company), (ii) neither the Company nor any of its applicable Affiliates will have any obligation to renew any guarantees, letters of credit, comfort letters, bonds, sureties and other credit support or assurances issued on behalf of any member of the SpinCo Group or the SpinCo Business after the expiration thereof, (iii) SpinCo and/or RMT Partner may, in consultation in good faith with the Company, take any action to terminate, obtain release of or otherwise limit the liability of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under any and all outstanding SpinCo Support Obligations (provided that such action would not result in any non-de minimis Liability for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any Liability that is fully reimbursed or borne by RMT Partner or SpinCo) and (iv) none of SpinCo or RMT Partner nor any of their respective applicable Affiliates will have any obligation to renew any guarantees, letters of credit, comfort letters, bonds, sureties and other credit support or assurances issued on behalf of any member of the Company Group or the Company Business after the expiration thereof.

2.7 Wrong Pockets; Mail and Other Communications; Payments.

(a) Subject to Section 2.4, after the Distribution Time, if either SpinCo or RMT Partner, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, or any of their respective Group members becomes aware that any of the SpinCo Assets have not been transferred, assigned or conveyed to SpinCo or any member of its Group or that any of the Company Assets have not been retained by or transferred, assigned or conveyed to the Company or any member

-37-

of its Group (other than the Transferred Entities), it will promptly notify the other Party and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to as promptly as reasonably practicable transfer the relevant asset to the appropriate Party at the expense of the Party who would have been responsible for the related expenses if such asset had been transferred at the Distribution Time.

(b) After the Distribution Time, each of the Company, SpinCo and the members of their respective Groups may receive mail, packages, facsimiles, e-mail and other communications properly belonging to the other (or the other’s respective Group). Accordingly, each of the Company and SpinCo and the members of their respective Groups authorizes the Company and the other members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, as the case may be, to receive and, if not unambiguously intended for such other Party (or any member of its Group) or any of such other Party’s (or any member of its Group’s) officers or directors, open (acting solely as agent for the other Party), all mail, packages, facsimiles, e-mail and other communications received by it, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the business of the receiving Party or, to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, facsimiles, e-mail or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party. The provisions of this Section 2.7 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any of the Company, SpinCo or the members of their respective Groups to (i) permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes or (ii) waive any rights or privileges in respect of any such mail, package, facsimile, e-mail or other communication or the information contained therein.

(c) The Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, promptly pay or deliver to SpinCo (or a designated member of its Group) any monies or checks that have been sent to or that are received by the Company or any member of its Group after the Distribution Time, including by or from any customers, suppliers or other commercial counterparties of the SpinCo Business or the SpinCo Group, to the extent that they constitute SpinCo Assets.

(d) SpinCo shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, promptly pay or deliver to the Company (or a designated member of its Group) any monies or checks that have been sent to SpinCo or any member of its Group (including the SpinCo Business and the SpinCo Group) after the Distribution Time to the extent that they constitute a Company Asset and are the property of the Company or a member of the Company Group hereunder.

-38-

the Distribution Time and in accordance with applicable Law. No such terminated agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Distribution Time, and neither the Company, SpinCo nor any member of their respective Groups shall have any liability thereunder after the Distribution Time. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) The provisions of Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to any of the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to any of the provisions thereof): (i) this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and each other agreement or instrument expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to be entered into by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups or to be continued from and after the Distribution Time); (ii) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any Third Party is a party; (iii) any intercompany accounts payable or accounts receivable accrued as of the Distribution Time that are reflected in the books and records of the Parties or otherwise documented in writing in accordance with past practices, which shall be settled in the manner contemplated by Section 2.8(c); (iv) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or SpinCo, as the case may be, is a party (it being understood that directors’ qualifying shares or similar interests will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned); and (v) any Shared Contracts.

(c) All of the intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable between any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be repaid, settled or otherwise eliminated in full, without any further liability thereunder to either party thereto, by means of cash payments, a dividend, capital contribution, a combination of the foregoing, or otherwise as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion prior to the Distribution; provided that the Company shall not repay, settle or otherwise eliminate any such intercompany accounts in a manner that results in an adverse effect to any member of the SpinCo Group or that exposes RMT Partner or any member of the SpinCo Group to further Liability (unless the cost of such effect or Liability is fully reimbursed to the SpinCo Group or otherwise fully borne by the Company Group), without the prior written consent of RMT Partner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to acknowledge the foregoing.

2.9 Treatment of Shared Contracts.

(a) Subject to applicable Law and without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Section 2.1, unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.9 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any Contract, a portion of which is a SpinCo Contract, but the remainder of which is a Company Asset (any such Contract, a “Shared Contract”), shall be assigned in relevant part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Distribution Time, so that each Party or the member of its Group shall, as of the Distribution

-39-

Time, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to the SpinCo Business or the Company Business, as applicable; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled) and (ii) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, or cannot be amended or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, then the Parties shall, and shall cause each of the members of their respective Groups to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions (including by subcontracting, sublicensing, subleasing or back-to-back agreement or by providing prompt notice to the other Party with respect to any relevant claim of Liability or other relevant matters arising in connection with a Shared Contract so as to allow such other Party the ability to exercise any applicable rights under such Shared Contract) to cause a member of the SpinCo Group or the Company Group, as the case may be, to receive the rights and benefits of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the SpinCo Business or the Company Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related), as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to a member of the applicable Group (or amended to allow a member of the applicable Group to exercise applicable rights under such Shared Contract) pursuant to this Section 2.9, and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement), as if such Liabilities had been assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.9. Each of the Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the assignment or amendment of all Shared Contracts pursuant to this Section 2.9 prior to the Distribution Time.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (including pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law)), each of the Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective businesses as an Asset owned by, and/or a Liability of, as applicable, such Party, or the members of its Group, as applicable, not later than the Distribution Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall require any member of any Group to (and (i) neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group nor, prior to the Distribution Time, SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group shall, without the prior written consent of RMT Partner and (ii) neither RMT Partner nor any member of the RMT Partner Group shall, without the prior written consent of the Company) make any non-de minimis payment (except to the extent advanced, assumed or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by any member of the other Group), incur any non-de minimis obligation or grant any non-de minimis concession for the benefit of any member of the other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.9.

Following the delivery of the Initial Adjustment Statement, but prior to the Closing, RMT Partner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to review the Initial Adjustment Statement, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with RMT Partner in connection with its review of the Initial Adjustment Statement, including by providing information reasonably necessary or useful in connection with RMT Partner’s review of the Initial Adjustment Statement as reasonably requested by RMT Partner and shall consider any comments to the Initial Adjustment Statement proposed by RMT Partner in good faith. The Company and RMT Partner will attempt to resolve in good faith any differences that they may have with respect to the computation of any of the items in the Initial Adjustment Statement; provided that, if the Company and RMT Partner are unable to resolve such differences prior to the Closing, the amounts of the Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated SpinCo Indebtedness, Estimated SpinCo Expense Reimbursement and the Cash Transfer Amount as reflected in the Initial Adjustment Statement shall be used for purposes of calculating the Cash Transfer Amount to be paid on the Closing Date.

(c) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, RMT Partner shall deliver to the Company a statement (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail RMT Partner’s good faith calculation of (i) the Net Working Capital as of the Cut-Off Time, (ii) SpinCo Cash as of the Cut-Off Time, (iii) SpinCo Indebtedness as of the Cut-Off Time, (iv) the SpinCo Expense Reimbursement and (v) the Cash Transfer Amount, together, in the case of clauses (i)-(v), with reasonable supporting detail and prepared in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) If the Company disagrees with the calculations set forth in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, the Company will deliver to RMT Partner, within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (the “Review Period”) a written statement describing each objection thereto and the Company’s proposed adjustments, including reasonable detail of each item or amount in dispute, the basis for such dispute and the supporting documentation, schedules and calculation (the “Notice of Disagreement”) (and the Company will be deemed to have accepted the values assigned by the Preliminary Adjustment Statement to any individual item or amount not specifically identified in such Notice of Disagreement). If the Company does not deliver a Notice of Disagreement within the Review Period, the Company will be deemed to have accepted the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, which will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.11(j).

(e) If the Company delivers to RMT Partner a Notice of Disagreement during the Review Period, the Company and RMT Partner will attempt to resolve in good faith the matters contained in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days after RMT Partner’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”). Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to each of the Company and RMT Partner during any discussions or negotiations during the Resolution Period, and any subsequent dispute arising therefrom. If the Company and RMT Partner reach a written resolution with respect to all such matters (if any) on or before the final day of the Resolution Period, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, as modified by such resolution, will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.11(j). If such a resolution is not reached during the

-44-

Resolution Period, the Company and RMT Partner will promptly (no later than five (5) Business Days after the final day of the Resolution Period) (i) retain a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm in the United States mutually acceptable to the Company and RMT Partner or (ii) if the Company and RMT Partner are unable to agree on a firm within ten (10) days after the end of the Resolution Period, then, within an additional five (5) days, the Company and RMT Partner shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall, within five (5) days after their selection, select a third such firm (the firm selected in accordance with clause (i) or the third firm selected in accordance with clause (ii), as applicable, the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Company and RMT Partner will enter into a customary engagement letter with the Independent Accounting Firm promptly after such selection and submit any unresolved objections covered by the Notice of Disagreement (the “Disputed Items”) to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with this Section 2.11(e), together with a copy of this Agreement and the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, promptly after entering into such engagement letter (but in any event, no later than ten (10) days after entering into such engagement letter); provided, that the Company and RMT Partner cannot assign a value to any Disputed Item that is more favorable to such Party than what such Party included in the Notice of Disagreement or the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, respectively. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. In no event shall the Company or RMT Partner (or SpinCo) communicate (or permit any of the members of its respective Group or Representatives to communicate) with the Independent Accounting Firm without providing the other Party(ies) a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication. The Company and RMT Partner will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to (A) within thirty (30) days after submission of the Disputed Items, make a final determination with respect to each of the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items) that is (1) consistent with the terms of this Agreement and (2) within the range of the respective positions taken by each of the Company and RMT Partner and (3) based solely on written submissions of the Company and RMT Partner (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review), a copy of which shall simultaneously be provided to the other Party(ies), and in accordance with procedures agreed to by the Parties and the Independent Accounting Firm and (B) prepare and deliver to the Company and RMT Partner a written statement setting forth its final determination (and a reasonably detailed description of the basis therefor) with respect to each Disputed Item (the “Independent Accounting Firm’s Report”). The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the Disputed Items were determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles, this Section 2.11 and Exhibit A, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall not be permitted to make any other determination, including as to whether Target Net Working Capital is correct. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to each Disputed Item as reflected in the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report will be final, conclusive and binding absent fraud or manifest error. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement, as modified by any changes thereto in accordance with any adjustments agreed in writing between the Company and RMT Partner during the Resolution Period and the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report, will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.11(i). With respect to any “estimated” item, such item shall be “final” pursuant to this Section 2.11 for purposes of calculating the Final Cash Transfer Amount whether by failure of the Company to deliver an objection to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, by mutual agreement between the Company and RMT Partner or by determination of the Independent Accounting Firm.

-45-

(f) Each of the Company and SpinCo will (A) pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.11 and (B) be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with this Section 2.11 on a pro rata basis based upon the inverse of the degree to which the Independent Accounting Firm has accepted the respective positions of the Company and SpinCo (which will be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm and set forth in the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report). For example, if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that it accepted seventy percent (70%) of the position of the Company, the Company will pay thirty percent (30%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and SpinCo will pay the remaining seventy percent (70%) of such fees and expenses.

(g) In connection with the matters set forth in this Section 2.11, during the Review Period and Resolution Period, if applicable, each Party and its Representatives shall, subject to execution of customary access letters (if applicable), be provided access to all relevant work papers, schedules and other supporting documents prepared by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, the members of their respective Groups or their respective Representatives and used in connection with the calculation of Net Working Capital, SpinCo Cash, SpinCo Indebtedness and the SpinCo Expense Reimbursement and access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and in a manner that does not adversely interfere with the conduct of such other Party’s business, any other information in such other Party’s possession which a Party reasonably requests, and each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with the requesting Party or Parties and its or their Representatives in connection therewith; provided, that in the event that the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing the information, violate any Law or agreement, waive any legal privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege, and confidentiality privileges applying to federally authorized tax practitioners under Section 7525 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, foreign or other tax law), or breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any Person, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

(h) The Company and RMT Partner agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11 for resolving disputes with respect to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce this Section 2.11 including any decision pursuant to the terms hereof by the Independent Accounting Firm in any court of competent jurisdiction. The substance of the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud or manifest error. It is the intent of the Parties to have any determination of Disputed Items by the Independent Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided, however, that any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by agreement of the Parties, and the Parties agree that the failure of the Independent Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Independent Accounting Firm.

-46-

(i) The Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Adjustment Statement is referred to herein as the “Final Net Working Capital.”

In addition, nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall release: (A) any member of the Company Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of SpinCo who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the Company Group on or prior to the Distribution Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to then-existing obligations; it being understood that, if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a SpinCo Liability, SpinCo shall indemnify the Company for such Liability (including the Company’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV, or (B) SpinCo from honoring its obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of the Company Group who was a director, officer or employee of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group at or prior to the Distribution Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification from a member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to then-existing obligations, it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a Company Liability, the Company shall indemnify SpinCo for such Liability (including SpinCo’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV.

(d) No Claims. SpinCo shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the SpinCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against the Company or any other member of the Company Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Company Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b). RMT Partner shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the SpinCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against the Company or any other member of the Company Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a).

-58-

(e) Execution of Further Releases. It is the intent of each of the Company, SpinCo and RMT Partner, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 4.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed prior to the Distribution Time, between or among SpinCo, RMT Partner or any member of the SpinCo Group or any Subsidiary of RMT Partner, on the one hand, and the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand, relating to the matters described in Section 4.1(a), except as expressly set forth in Section 4.1(c). At any time at or after the Distribution Time, at the request of either the Company, SpinCo or RMT Partner, the other Parties shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.1.

4.2 Indemnification by SpinCo. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, each member of the Company Group and the Company’s Affiliates and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Company Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any SpinCo Liability;

(b) any failure of SpinCo, any other member of the SpinCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their terms;

(c) any breach by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document); provided that the Company Indemnitees shall not have any claim pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) prior to the Distribution Time;

(d) except to the extent it relates to a Company Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding to the extent discharged or performed by any member of the Company Group for the benefit of any member of the SpinCo Group by any member of the Company Group that survives following the Distribution (other than as a result of breach thereof by any member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time or breach thereof by any member of the Company Group);

(e) any Liabilities arising out of claims made by the securityholders or lenders of a party or any of their Affiliates to the extent relating to the use of any information provided by or on behalf of RMT Partner in writing prior to the Distribution in connection with the SpinCo Financing, the Permanent SpinCo Financing or the RMT Partner Financing (other than with respect to information that was initially disclosed or provided to RMT Partner by any member of the Company Group); and

-59-

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in RMT Partner’s name in any Securities Filings.

In the event that SpinCo shall transfer a majority of its assets to another Person, RMT Partner shall, or shall cause such transferee to, assume the obligations of SpinCo under this Agreement.

4.3 Indemnification by Company. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of the Company Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless SpinCo, each member of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo’s Affiliates and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any Company Liability;

(b) any failure of the Company, any other member of the Company Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Company Liabilities in accordance with their terms;

(c) any breach by the Company or any other member of the Company Group of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document); provided that the SpinCo Indemnitees shall not have any claim pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) prior to the Distribution Time;

(d) except to the extent it relates to a SpinCo Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding to the extent discharged or performed by any member of the SpinCo Group for the benefit of any member of the Company Group by any member of the SpinCo Group that survives following the Distribution (other than as a result of a breach thereof by any member of the SpinCo Group after the Effective Time);

(e) Liabilities arising out of claims made by the securityholders or lenders of a party or any of their Affiliates to the extent relating to the use of any information relating to the Company Business provided by or on behalf of the Company, SpinCo, or any of their Subsidiaries in writing prior to the Distribution in connection with the SpinCo Financing, the Permanent SpinCo Financing or the RMT Partner Financing (other than with respect to information that was initially disclosed or provided to the Company by RMT Partner or any of its Subsidiaries); and

-60-

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in the Company’s name in any Securities Filings.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either the Company or SpinCo, as applicable (an “Indemnifying Party”), is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then reasonably promptly following receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each of the Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to indemnify any SpinCo Indemnitees for any Liability pursuant to Section 4.3 if and to the extent such Liability was reflected in the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital.

-61-

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Distribution Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group or RMT Partner or any of its Subsidiaries of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first (i) confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee are true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim and (ii) specify to the Indemnitee in writing any reservations or exceptions to such confirmation; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees if the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, indictment or allegation or if such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee (and not any Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in any or all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or

-62-

fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that does not elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any outside legal counsel to the Indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one firm of separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. An Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which an Indemnitee is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise (i) does not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnitee or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such Indemnitee or to the conduct of that Person’s business (other than the payment of monetary damages, which such damages are

-63-

fully payable by the settling or compromising Indemnifying Party), (ii) does not contain or involve any admission, statement, finding or determination providing for or acknowledging any liability or wrongdoing or violation of Law by such Indemnitee, and (iii) provides for, as a condition thereto, a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of such Indemnitee from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. No settlement or entry of judgment in respect of any Third-Party Claim shall be consented to by any Indemnitee without the express written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(f) Tax Matters Agreement Governs. The above provisions of this Section 4.5 and the provisions of Section 4.6 do not apply to Taxes (it being understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement).

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.6(b). Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

-64-

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party, and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Subject to Section 4.11, such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Substitution. In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to direct the defense or prosecution of the Action as set forth in Section 4.5, Section 4.11 and this Section 4.6, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all documented out-of-pocket costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

(f) If an indemnification claim is covered by the indemnification provisions of any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement), the claim shall be made under such document or agreement and not under this Agreement. In no event shall any Party be entitled to double recovery for the same Losses from the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document.

4.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2 or 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

-65-

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed SpinCo Assets or Delayed SpinCo Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Company Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the SpinCo Business shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of the Company or any other member of the Company Group; (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed Company Assets or Delayed Company Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the SpinCo Group) shall be deemed to be the fault of Company and the other members of the Company Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group; and (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the Company Business shall be deemed to be the fault of the Company and the other members of the Company Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group.

4.8 Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Company Liabilities by the Company or a member of the Company Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

4.9 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of the Company and SpinCo and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

4.10 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions of this Article IV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Merger Agreement and any other Transaction Documents that expressly provide otherwise) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby waives, for itself and its respective Group members, successors and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person or any of its Group members may have against the other Party and its Group members, successors and assigns for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Merger Agreement and any other Transaction Documents that expressly provide otherwise) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,

-66-

other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article IV. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not affect (a) a Party’s right to seek specific performance under this Agreement as provided in Section 10.11 or under the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in each case, as provided therein, or to seek resolution of any disputes regarding indemnification hereunder as provided in Article VII, (b) a Party’s right to exercise all of their rights and seek all damages available to them under Law in the event of claims or causes of action arising from fraud and (c) the rights or obligations of any Person under any of the other Transaction Documents that expressly provide otherwise, or the Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.10 are not intended to, and will not be deemed to, alter or supersede (i) the indemnification, damages or remedy provisions contained in any of the Transition Services Agreement or the Contract Manufacturing Agreements, (ii) the rights and obligations of the Company and RMT Partner to resolve disputes with respect to the Final Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.11 or (iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties or any insurers under any Covered Policy.

4.11 Management of Actions. This Section 4.11 shall govern the direction of pending and future Actions in which members of the SpinCo Group or the Company Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II unless expressly set forth in this Section 4.11.

(a) Management of SpinCo-Controlled Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, the SpinCo Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any Actions that constitute only SpinCo Liabilities, SpinCo Assets, Delayed SpinCo Assets or Delayed SpinCo Liabilities (“SpinCo-Controlled Actions”). If an Action that constitutes solely a SpinCo Liability, a SpinCo Asset, a Delayed SpinCo Asset or a Delayed SpinCo Liability is commenced after the Distribution Time naming a member of the Company Group as a party thereto, then SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the Company Group to be removed as a party to such Action. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor SpinCo or RMT Partner, on the other hand, shall add the other to any Action pending as of or after the Distribution Time without the prior written consent of such other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Management of Company-Controlled Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, the Company Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 4.11(b) and (ii) any other Actions that constitute only Company Liabilities or Company Assets (“Company-Controlled Actions”). If an Action that constitutes solely a Company Liability or a Company Asset is commenced after the Distribution Time naming a member of the SpinCo Group as a party thereto, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the SpinCo Group to be removed as a party to such Action.

(c) Management of Actions Naming Both SpinCo and the Company. From and after the Distribution Time, in the event that one or more member(s) of the SpinCo Group and one or more member(s) of the Company Group is named in an Action that is neither a SpinCo-Controlled Action nor a Company-Controlled Action (a “Separate Action”), each of SpinCo and the Company shall be entitled to assume their own defense and select counsel of their own choosing to defend their respective interests in such Separate Action. SpinCo and the Company shall consult in good faith with each other regarding the management of the defense of each Separate Action.

-67-

(d) Management of Mixed Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, any Action that constitutes both a SpinCo Liability, a SpinCo Asset, a Delayed SpinCo Asset or a Delayed SpinCo Liability, on the one hand, and a Company Liability or a Company Asset, on the other hand, and that does not constitute a SpinCo-Controlled Action, Company-Controlled Action or a Separate Action (“Mixed Action”) shall be managed by the Party with the greater financial exposure with respect thereto (taking into account the provisions of this Article IV), as determined in good faith by the Company and SpinCo; provided that any outside counsel employed by a Party managing the Action with respect thereto shall be subject to the approval of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that if the Action involves the pursuit of any criminal sanctions or penalties or seeks equitable or injunctive relief against any Party or Subsidiary of a Party, that Party shall be entitled to control the defense of the claim against such Party; provided, however, that any Action that seeks equitable or injunctive relief against multiple Parties or Subsidiaries of multiple Parties shall be deemed a Mixed Action and jointly managed in accordance with the remainder of this Section 4.11(d). The Company and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for the Company and SpinCo and their respective Group members any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to Mixed Actions. The Party managing such Mixed Action shall on a quarterly basis, or if a material development occurs as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, inform the other Party of the status of and developments relating to any Mixed Action and provide copies of any material document, notices or other materials related to such Mixed Action; provided that the failure to provide any such information shall not be a basis for liability of a Party managing such Mixed Action except and solely to the extent the other Party shall have been actually prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and SpinCo may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared by the Company and SpinCo in proportion to their respective expected financial exposure (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Liability or a Delayed SpinCo Liability, on the one hand, and a Company Liability, on the other hand), as determined in good faith by the Company and SpinCo, or respective expected financial recovery (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Asset or a Delayed SpinCo Asset, on the one hand, and a Company Asset, on the other hand)) or retain separate counsel (in which case each Party will bear the cost of its separate counsel) with respect to any Mixed Action; provided that the Company and SpinCo shall share discovery and other joint litigation costs in proportion to their respective expected financial exposure (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Liability or a Delayed SpinCo Liability, on the one hand, and a Company Liability, on the other hand) or respective expected financial recovery (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Asset or a Delayed SpinCo Asset, on the one hand, and a Company Asset, on the other hand). In any Mixed Action, each of the Company and SpinCo may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the Company Business or the SpinCo Business, respectively; provided that each Party shall in good faith make all reasonable efforts to avoid adverse effects on the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if a judgment is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Company and SpinCo shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Liabilities in respect of such judgment between them based on the proportion of such Liabilities attributable to

-68-

the Company Business and the SpinCo Business and (ii) if a recovery is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Company and SpinCo shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Assets in respect of such recovery between them based on their respective injuries. A Party that is not named as a defendant in a Mixed Action may elect to become a party to such Mixed Action, and the Party named in such Mixed Action shall reasonably cooperate to have such first Party named in such Mixed Action.

(e) Delegation of Rights of Recovery. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights to recovery of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries or SpinCo’s Subsidiaries in respect of any past, present or future Action are hereby delegated to the Company or SpinCo, respectively. It is the intent of the Parties that the foregoing delegation shall satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. The Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

4.12 Settlement of Actions. No Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 4.11 shall settle or compromise such Action (other than the Company with respect to Company-Controlled Actions and SpinCo with respect to SpinCo-Controlled Actions) without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that if the Party managing the Action is indemnifying the other Party in full for all monetary damages arising out of or related to such Action, such managing Party may nevertheless settle such Action without such consent, unless such settlement or compromise would (a) result in any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of the other Party’s Group, (b) encumber any asset of any member of the other Party’s Group or (c) contain or involve an admission or statement providing for or acknowledging any liability or criminal wrongdoing on behalf of the other Party’s Group or any of its Affiliates; provided that such settlement entered into by such managing Party must contain as a condition thereto, a complete release of the other Party being indemnified. No settlement or compromise in respect of any Action shall be made or consented to by any Party not managing an Action pursuant to Section 4.11 without the express written consent of the Party managing such Action.

4.13 Limitation on Certain Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except to the extent such losses are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owed to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim, no Party nor its respective Group members shall be liable under this Agreement to the other Party for any losses that are punitive, exemplary, speculative or similar damages, whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages and whether or not such damages are reasonably foreseeable. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.13 do not apply to the Transition Services Agreement or the Contract Manufacturing Agreements, each of which shall be subject to the indemnification, damages and remedies provisions contained therein.

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) The Company, RMT Partner and SpinCo agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Distribution Time. In no event shall the Company, any other member of the Company Group or any Company Indemnitee have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the RMT Partner Group or SpinCo Group in the event that any (i) insurance policy or insurance policy-related contract shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the RMT Partner Group or SpinCo Group for any reason whatsoever or shall be cancelled, not renewed or not extended beyond the current expiration date or (ii) any insurer declines, denies, delays or obstructs any claim payment; provided that nothing in this Section 5.1(a) shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages resulting from a breach of the Merger Agreement.

(b) With the sole exception of claims, losses, damages or Liability based upon or arising from any acts, omissions, events or circumstances that occurred or existed prior to the Distribution Time and which would be otherwise covered under any occurrence-based insurance policies of the Company or any member of the Company Group (collectively, the “Covered Policies”), from and after the Distribution Time, SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group, RMT Partner, any member of the RMT Partner Group, or any of their respective employees (including former or inactive employees) shall cease to be insured by, shall have no access or availability to or under, shall not be entitled to make claims on or under and shall not be entitled to claim benefits from or seek coverage under, and shall not have any rights to or under, any of the Company’s or any member of the Company Group’s insurance policies or any of their respective self-insured programs in place immediately prior to the Distribution Time. Solely with respect to the Covered Policies, from and after the Distribution Time, with respect to any claims, losses, damages or Liability based upon or arising from acts, omissions, events or circumstances that occurred or existed prior to the Distribution Time, the Company will provide RMT Partner and SpinCo with access to, and SpinCo and the SpinCo Group may make claims under, the Covered Policies, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the SpinCo Group or the SpinCo Business prior to the Distribution Time; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) SpinCo shall notify the Company’s Director of Risk Management (or such other Person of the Company if there is no Director of Risk Management), reasonably promptly, of any incident, circumstance or occurrence that may lead to a claim made by SpinCo pursuant to this Section 5.1(b);

-70-

(ii) SpinCo shall reimburse the Company and the members of the Company Group for all claim-related payments made by the Company or any member of the Company Group on or after the Distribution Time that arise from claims made by SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group, RMT Partner, any member of the RMT Partner Group, any of their respective employees or any Third Party under the Company’s or any member of the Company Group’s self-insured, large deductible or fronted insurance programs for occurrences prior to the Distribution Time, including overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, taxes, surcharges, state assessments and other related costs. SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Company and the members of the Company Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, and other expenses incurred by the Company or any members of the Company Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group, RMT Partner or any other members of the RMT Partner Group under, any of the Company’s or a member of the Company Group’s insurance policies provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) whether such claims are made by SpinCo, its employees or Third Parties; provided that neither SpinCo nor any other member of the SpinCo Group shall owe any obligations of indemnification, reimbursement or otherwise pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) with respect to any claims resulting from or arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or intentional misconduct of the Company or any other members of the Company Group; and

(iii) SpinCo shall exclusively bear (and neither the Company nor any members of the Company Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group, RMT Partner or any member of the RMT Partner Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts (including where any insurer declines, denies, delays or obstructs any claim payment) of all such claims made by SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group, RMT Partner or any member of the RMT Partner Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b). Where a policy includes a reinstatement of limits, in the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Company Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Distribution Time). To the extent that the Company Group, on the one hand, or the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier(s), the other party shall promptly pay the first party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo, on the other hand, may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate even if available. In the event that the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo, on the other hand, elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party and shall have no rights to claim against or have any benefit from the reinstated limits. If either the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo, on the other hand, elects to reinstate the policy aggregate, such Party shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement to the extent such Party has received notice from the other Party that such other Party does not elect to reinstate the limits.

-71-

(c) At the Distribution Time, SpinCo shall have in effect, and RMT Partner shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with SpinCo in its efforts to obtain or effect, all insurance programs required to comply with SpinCo’s contractual obligations and such other policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for the SpinCo Business and the operation thereof by the SpinCo Group.

(d) Neither SpinCo, RMT Partner, any member of the SpinCo Group nor any member of the RMT Partner Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of the Company or any member of the Company Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by the Company or any member of the Company Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere in any material respect with the rights of the Company or any member of the Company Group under the applicable insurance policy; provided that SpinCo’s, any member of the SpinCo Group’s, RMT Partner’s, any member of the RMT Partner Group’s, any of their respective employees’ or any Third Party’s making and pursuing of a claim to coverage pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) shall not be deemed to be an action that triggers the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

(e) Any payments, costs, adjustments or reimbursements to be paid by SpinCo and/or RMT Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be billed quarterly and payable within thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice from the Company. The Company shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any SpinCo Liabilities and/or claims SpinCo has made or could make in the future, and no member of the SpinCo Group or RMT Partner Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with the Company’s insurers with respect to any of the Company’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs; provided that the Company shall not terminate or make any material amendments, modifications or waivers to, or concessions under, any of the Covered Policies without providing RMT Partner with reasonable notice prior to taking any such actions. SpinCo and RMT Partner shall cooperate with the Company and, upon reasonable request by the Company, share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the Company to manage and conduct its insurance matters as the Company deems appropriate. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and SpinCo, on the other hand, and any member of its applicable Group has the sole right to settle or otherwise resolve Third-Party Claims made against it or any member of its applicable Group covered under an applicable insurance policy.

(f) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Company Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

-72-

(g) SpinCo and RMT Partner do hereby, for itself and each other member of its Group, agree that no member of the Company Group shall have any Liability whatsoever for any acts, omissions, events or circumstances that occurred prior to the Distribution Time relating to the insurance policies and practices of the Company and the members of the Company Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed in any way to limit any Party’s right under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

5.2 Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within ten (10) days of a notice of non-payment) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the relevant period plus two percent (2%).

5.3 Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes. For all applicable Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat any payment required by this Agreement as set forth in Section 12 of the Tax Matters Agreement.

5.4 Inducement. SpinCo and RMT Partner acknowledge and agree that the Company’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Reorganization and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by SpinCo’s and RMT Partner’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including SpinCo’s assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities pursuant to the Reorganization and the provisions of this Agreement and SpinCo’s covenants and agreements contained in Article IV. The Company acknowledges and agrees that SpinCo’s and RMT Partner’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Reorganization and the Distribution, as applicable, has been conditioned upon and induced by the Company’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the Company’s assumption of the Company Liabilities pursuant to the Reorganization and the provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s covenants and agreements contained in Article IV.

5.5 Post-Distribution Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Distribution Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Distribution Time, except as may otherwise be provided in the Merger Agreement or any Transaction Document, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to Section 6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, each of the Company, RMT Partner and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each member of its Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Distribution Time, reasonably promptly after written request therefor, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or its Group which the requesting Party or its Group requests to the extent that: (i) such information relates to the SpinCo Business, or any SpinCo Asset or SpinCo Liability, if SpinCo or RMT Partner is the requesting Party, or to the Company Business, or any Company Asset or Company Liability, if the Company is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that (A) the Company and the members of the Company Group shall be permitted to redact any portion of such information that does not relate to the SpinCo Business and (B) SpinCo and RMT Partner and the members of their respective Groups shall be permitted to redact any portion of such information that does not relate to the Company Business, and in the event that the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing the information, violate any Law or agreement, waive any legal privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege, and confidentiality privileges applying to federally authorized tax practitioners under Section 7525 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, foreign or other tax law), or breach any duty of confidentiality or other obligation owed to any Person, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of either Party under Section 6.4.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the first full fiscal year of either Party occurring after the Distribution Date (and for a reasonable period of time thereafter for either Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results of the SpinCo Group were consolidated with those of the Company, which period shall not exceed the date on which each Party’s audited financial statements for the first full fiscal year after the Distribution Date are filed with the SEC), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s information requests and, if reasonably requested by the other Party and at the requesting Party’s expense, provide such other cooperation as such Party may reasonably require, in each case to enable (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its

-74-

disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws and (iii) such other Party to respond to any written request or official comment from a Governmental Authority including in connection with responding to a comment letter from the SEC; provided that in connection with this clause (iii), each Party shall provide reasonable assistance on the terms set forth in this Section 6.1 for a period of three years following the Distribution Date; provided, further, that any assistance sought by a Party pursuant to this Section 6.1 will only be if such Party receives a written request or an official comment from a Governmental Authority and will not be unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the other Party.

(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those set forth in Section 6.9) and to such Party’s confidentiality obligations to third parties and to the extent it relates to the time prior to the Distribution, at the requesting Party’s expense each Party shall authorize and request its respective auditors to make available to the other Party’s auditors (the “Other Party’s Auditors”) both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of such audited Party (each such Party with respect to its own audit, the “Audited Party”) and work papers related to the annual audits of such Audited Party, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Audited Parties’ auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Parties’ Auditors are able to perform the procedures they reasonably consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Audited Parties’ auditors as it relates to their auditors’ report on such other Parties’ financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the filing of its annual financial statements with the SEC for the fiscal year in which the Distribution occurs (or, if the Distribution occurs in the first quarter of a fiscal year, the previous fiscal year).

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

-75-

6.4 Record Retention. Until the seven (7)-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, each Party agrees that it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of, or permit the destruction or disposal of, any SpinCo Books and Records or any Company Books and Records in its or its Subsidiaries’ possession without first giving SpinCo and RMT Partner, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, written notice of such intended destruction or disposition no later than twenty (20) days prior to the date of such destruction or disposition and offering such other Party the opportunity to copy such SpinCo Books and Records or Company Books and Records, as applicable, or to deliver to such other Party, at such other Party’s expense, custody of such SpinCo Books and Records or Company Books and Records, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Tax Matters Agreement will exclusively govern the retention of Tax-related records and the exchange of Tax-related information, and the Employee Matters Agreement will exclusively govern the retention of employment and benefits-related records.

6.5 Limitations of Liability. Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct by the Party providing such information. Neither Party shall have any Liability to any other Party if any information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

(b) Any party that receives, pursuant to a request for information in accordance with this Article VI, Tangible Information that is not relevant to its request shall, at the written request of the providing Party, (i) return it to the providing Party or, at the providing Party’s written request, destroy such Tangible Information and (ii) deliver to the providing Party written confirmation that such Tangible Information was returned or destroyed, as the case may be, which confirmation shall be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Party.

6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) After the Distribution Time, subject to Section 6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, except in the case of a Dispute between the Company, RMT Partner and/or SpinCo, or any members of their respective Groups, each of the Company, on the one hand, and RMT Partner and/or SpinCo, on the other hand, 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 without undue burden, 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

-76-

connection with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) 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 requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, then, subject to Section 6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, the other Party shall make available to such 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 without undue burden, 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.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 6.7, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect to any Intellectual Property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a Third Party in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim.

(e) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents without regard to whether such person or the employer of such person could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).

6.8 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Company Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the Company Group and the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Distribution Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Company Group, on the one hand, or the SpinCo Group and the RMT Partner Group, on the other hand, as the case may be. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Company, on the one hand, and SpinCo and RMT Partner, on the other hand, shall authorize the delivery to and/or retention by the other Party of materials existing as of the Distribution Time that are necessary for such other Party to perform such services.

-77-

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) The Company shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Company Business and not to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, or any member of the SpinCo Group or the RMT Partner Group, on the other hand. The Company shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Company Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, or any member of the SpinCo Group or the RMT Partner Group, on the other hand;

(ii) RMT Partner and SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the SpinCo Business and not to the Company Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the SpinCo Group or the RMT Partner Group, on the one hand, or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any proposed sale, spin-off or other disposition of the SpinCo Business or the preparation, negotiation or execution of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other transaction including or regarding the SpinCo Business in lieu of any of the foregoing. RMT Partner and SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any SpinCo Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the SpinCo Group or the RMT Partner Group, on the one hand, or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand; and

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Company Business, solely to the SpinCo Business, or to both the Company Business and the SpinCo Business.

-78-

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one (1) or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the consent of the other Party.

(d) If any Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall: (i) negotiate with the other Parties in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Parties; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Parties. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e) In the event of any Dispute between the Company and SpinCo or RMT Partner, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c); provided that the Parties intend such waiver of a shared privilege to be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and is not intended to operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party or Parties a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of the Parties set forth in this Section 6.8 and Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups as needed pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

-79-

(h) In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

6.9 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, (i) to the extent that the Merger Agreement, a Transaction Document or other Contract other than this Agreement pursuant to which a Party or another Person in its respective Group is bound or its confidential and proprietary information is subject provides that certain information shall be confidentially maintained on a basis that is more protective of such information or for a longer period of time than provided for herein, then the applicable provisions contained in the Merger Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, such Transaction Document or other Contract shall control with respect thereto and (ii) a Party and the applicable members of its respective Group shall have no right to use any confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing Party unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, another Transaction Document or a Contract between the Parties or a member of its respective Group. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, (i) representatives of the Company and the members of the Company Group may retain certain residual knowledge of the confidential and proprietary information concerning SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group and (ii) representatives of SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group may retain certain residual knowledge of the Company or a member of the Company Group, in each case, that are or may be indistinguishable from generalized industry knowledge and, accordingly, each Party acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall prohibit any Party (or its Group) from using or otherwise exploiting for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person such residual knowledge; provided that (A) such residual knowledge has been retained solely in the unaided memory of the Company, SpinCo or such representatives, as applicable (in each case, without intentional memorization) in intangible form and without use, copying or reference to any documented or tangible copies of the other Party’s or the members of its Group’s confidential and proprietary information, and is not intentionally used in a manner that would breach, or would reasonably be expected to encourage a breach, of this Section 6.9, (B) the foregoing will not be deemed in any event to provide any right for any member of the Company Group to infringe any SpinCo Intellectual Property or any rights of any third parties that have licensed or provided materials to the SpinCo Business, or otherwise to grant any license with respect to any SpinCo Intellectual Property (which license rights shall be solely contained in the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement), (C) the foregoing will not be deemed in any event to provide SpinCo with any right to infringe any Intellectual Property of the Company or any rights of any third parties that have licensed or provided material to the Company, or otherwise to grant any license with respect to any Intellectual Property of the Company (which license rights shall be solely contained in this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement), and (D) other than as expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement or any Transaction Document, any use of such residual knowledge is on an “as-is, where-is” basis, with all faults and all representations and warranties disclaimed and at the sole risk of such Representatives, the Company, SpinCo and each Parties’ Group, as applicable.

-80-

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any other Transaction Document, from and after the Distribution Time until the three (3)-year anniversary of the Distribution Time, each of the Company, RMT Partner and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves known by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) to be bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of the other Party or any member of such Party’s Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing three (3)-year period, the Company’s, RMT Partner’s and SpinCo’s obligations with respect to confidential and proprietary information that constitutes Trade Secrets shall survive and continue for so long as such confidential and proprietary information retains its status as a Trade Secret. If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who reasonably need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and is no longer subject to any legal hold or other document preservation obligation, each Party will promptly after written request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts

-81-

or summaries based thereon); provided that the Parties may retain electronic back-up versions of such information maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; provided, further, that any such information so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Distribution Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or legally protected Personal Information (including personal health information) relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies or notices and/or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Distribution Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies or notices, as well as applicable data privacy Laws or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or legally protected Personal Information (including personal health information) relating to, Third Parties in accordance with the obligations outlined in the applicable privacy policies (provided that such policies were made available to the other Party prior to the receipt of such confidential and proprietary information or Personal Information) or notices and applicable data privacy Laws or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Distribution Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Distribution Time by, between or among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9, to the extent that the treatment, maintenance, use, non-use, disclosure or non-disclosure of any confidential and proprietary information concerning a Party or any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses is expressly addressed in the Merger Agreement or in any Transaction Document, the applicable terms of such document or agreement will control in such situations.

6.10 Protective Arrangements. In the event that the Company or any member of its Group, on the one hand, or SpinCo or RMT Partner or any member of their respective Groups, on the other hand, either is requested or required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party(ies) (or any member of the other Party(ies)’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party(ies) shall notify the other Party(ies) (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party(ies), in seeking any appropriate protective order. The Party(ies) receiving the request or demand shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to take, at the expense of the other Party(ies), reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment of such information. Subject to the foregoing, the Party(ies) that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent requested or required by such Law or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

-82-

6.11 Technology Transfer. In the event that the Company or any member of its Group, on the one hand, or SpinCo or RMT Partner or any member of their respective Groups, on the other hand, either is requested or required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party(ies) (or any member of the other Party(ies)’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party(ies) shall notify the other Party(ies) (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party(ies), in seeking any appropriate protective order.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Negotiation. Except as specifically provided, subject to Section 7.4, any Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including regarding whether any Assets are SpinCo Assets or Company Assets, any Liabilities are SpinCo Liabilities or Company Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Transaction Document) (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or RMT Partner, as applicable, with a copy provided to the General Counsel of the Company or RMT Partner, as applicable (the “Negotiation Request”). As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of a Negotiation Request, an appropriate executive or other representative at a senior level of management of each of the Company and RMT Partner (or, if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity) identified by the Chief Financial Officers of each of the Company and RMT Partner, as applicable, shall begin conducting good faith negotiations with respect to such Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Company and RMT Partner are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute through such negotiations within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Negotiation Request, and such thirty (30)-day period is not extended by mutual written consent of the Company and RMT Partner, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 7.2.

7.2 Mediation. In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a Negotiation Request in accordance with Section 7.1 or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of the Company or RMT Partner (the “Mediation Request”), be submitted to mandatory mediation in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure (the “Procedure”), then in effect, except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in (i) New York, New York or (ii) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. The Company and RMT Partner shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by

-83-

the Company and RMT Partner within twenty (20) days of receipt of a Mediation Request, then the Company or RMT Partner may request (on written notice to the other Party) that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, either the Company or RMT Partner may commence litigation in accordance with Section 10.3; provided, however, that if one Party fails to participate in the mediation, the other Party may commence litigation in accordance with Section 10.3 prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above.

7.3 Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1 and 7.2 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the respective members of their Groups to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Transaction Document to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

ARTICLE VIII

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to), prior to, on and after the Distribution Time, 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 other Transaction Documents.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Distribution Time, each Party hereto shall cooperate with the other Parties, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Approvals or Notifications of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Parties from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transfers of the SpinCo Assets and the Company Assets and the assignment and assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities and the Company Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the requesting Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in the Company or SpinCo, as the case may be, good and marketable title to the Assets allocated to such Party under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

-84-

(c) On or prior to the Distribution Time, the Company and SpinCo in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of the members of their Groups shall each ratify any actions which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by the Company, SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(d) Following the Distribution Time, SpinCo shall be responsible for recording the applicable assignment of SpinCo Intellectual Property to SpinCo or its designees with the intellectual property offices and registrars and other similar authorities where SpinCo Intellectual Property is still recorded in the name of the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than another member of the SpinCo Group). Following SpinCo’s reasonable request, following the Distribution Time, the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, exercise its reasonable efforts to cooperate with SpinCo in connection therewith. In the event that the Company is required to take any action in order for SpinCo to complete recordation of such SpinCo Intellectual Property in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.1(d), then following SpinCo’s reasonable request, the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, exercise its reasonable efforts to cooperate with SpinCo as may be required to effectuate such recordation. The Company shall reimburse SpinCo for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket government filing fees incurred in connection with initial recordation of ownership in the name of SpinCo or its designees; provided that such fees are incurred and invoiced to the Company within twelve (12) months following the Distribution Date. SpinCo shall bear the first two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) of agent fees, translation costs, or other professional or administrative service fees incurred in connection with the activities described in this Section 8.1(d), and the Company and SpinCo shall bear equally (i.e., fifty percent (50%) each) any such costs or fees in excess of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000); provided that any such costs and fees are incurred and invoiced to the Company within two (2) years following the Distribution Date. Further, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to provide SpinCo, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Time, with an extract of any information constituting SpinCo Books and Records maintained in the Company’s docketing system (Anaqua) in connection with any SpinCo Intellectual Property.

8.2 Use of the BD Name and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. SpinCo and RMT Partner undertake to (and to cause the members of their respective Groups to) discontinue the use of the name “BD”, “▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” and other Trademarks owned by the Company and used in the operation of the SpinCo Business (other than those Trademarks included in the SpinCo Intellectual Property) (the “Company Marks”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Time, but in any case not longer than a three (3)-year period commencing on the Distribution Date, except in the case of a Deferred SpinCo Local Business, in which case not longer than the later of (x) a two (2)-year period commencing on the date of the local closing applicable to such Deferred SpinCo Local Business and (y) a period commencing on the date of the local closing applicable to such Deferred SpinCo Local Business and ending on the three year anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided that the applicable period shall be extended if

-85-

use of the Company Marks is required in connection with the sale of Inventory (subject to this Section 8.2), regulatory registrations, or otherwise required by applicable regulatory requirements, which extension shall be for no longer than the minimum period required by such requirements (the “Transition Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of the Distribution Time, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the members of the SpinCo Group a non-exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide and royalty-free license to continue to temporarily use the Company Marks and related trademark symbols in legal entity names, for the sale of Inventory containing such name or trademark applied to such products created and for the related regulatory registrations for such Inventory: (a) prior to the Distribution Time or (b) during the applicable Transition Period; provided that SpinCo shall (and shall cause the members of the SpinCo Group and its sublicensees to) use the Company Marks solely to the extent and in substantially the same manner as used by the SpinCo Business in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Distribution Time and at a level of quality substantially similar to that in effect as of the Distribution Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall not be prohibited from continuing to use the Company Marks after the Distribution Time (i) as required by applicable Law and to the extent required to perform any contractual obligations pursuant to any SpinCo Contracts (provided that RMT Partner and SpinCo shall use reasonable best efforts to amend and/or modify any such SpinCo Contracts to minimize SpinCo’s and the other members of the SpinCo Group’s obligations to use the Company Marks after the Distribution Time), (ii) on internal business and legal documents and items and (iii) in a neutral, non-trademark manner to describe the history of the SpinCo Business and otherwise as permitted by “fair use” principles; provided that such use does not suggest sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with the Company or the members of its Group or give rise to a likelihood of confusion.

8.3 Cooperation. Between the date hereof and the earlier of the Distribution Date and valid termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall and shall cause their respective Groups to, at their own cost and expense, cooperate and work together in good faith to prepare and plan for the smooth and orderly transition of the SpinCo Business to RMT Partner; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that neither Party shall be required to agree to (a) any amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement, Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (b) any non-de minimis payment or concession with an adverse effect on such Party (other than any payment or concession that is fully reimbursed by the other Party), in each case, in connection with the cooperation process described in this Section 8.3. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Company and RMT Partner shall ensure that appropriate representatives of the Company or RMT Partner and their respective Groups (as applicable) with sufficient knowledge and qualifications to prepare and plan for the transition of the operations of the SpinCo Business shall participate in transition service planning meetings (in-person or virtually) on a regular basis as reasonably agreed between the Company and RMT Partner, to discuss the overall status and plans for the transition of the SpinCo Business to RMT Partner and such other matters as may be reasonably agreed between RMT Partner and the Company.

8.4 Ancillary Agreements.

(a) Each of the Company, SpinCo and RMT Partner agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in good faith to finalize the Contract Manufacturing Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto) so that such agreements shall be

-86-

executed on the Closing Date, taking into consideration the nature and circumstances of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any key terms or principles set forth on Schedule 8.4(a). In connection with the foregoing, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company, SpinCo and RMT Partner will cooperate reasonably and in good faith to finalize the scope and other terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), (which such cooperation shall include, to the extent reasonably requested by SpinCo or RMT Partner, access to data and information reasonably available to the Company related to the applicable services and making appropriate, knowledgeable personnel of the Company, its Affiliates or SpinCo reasonably available to participate in meetings and other discussions relating to the foregoing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that, if the Company, SpinCo and RMT Partner do not agree to the Contract Manufacturing Agreements prior to the Closing, the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 8.4(a) shall be effective as of the Closing as if it were part of the Contract Manufacturing Agreements, as applicable, and shall be legally binding upon the Company, SpinCo and RMT Partner.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, SpinCo may, in its sole discretion, upon notice to the Company, remove or reduce any service or services included in the Transition Services Agreement; provided that any such removed or reduced service shall not remove or reduce any fees, costs or expenses associated with such removed or reduced service, and the Parties shall promptly update Schedule A-1 to the Transition Services Agreement to reflect such removal or reduction.

A Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are to be given or made.

10.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

10.8 No Set-Off. Except as expressly set forth in any Transaction Document or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Party nor any member of such Party’s group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

10.9 Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement and in the Transaction Documents are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

10.10 Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving; provided that, prior to the Effective Time, unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any waiver by SpinCo that is adverse in any material respect to RMT Partner shall require the prior written consent of RMT Partner.

10.11 Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of any Transaction Document, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under such Transaction Document, 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 the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

10.12 Amendments. No provisions of any Transaction Document shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification; provided that no waiver by RMT Partner, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless signed by the authorized representative of RMT Partner.
