Section 2.01 Allocation of Liabilities.

(a) SpinCo Liabilities.

For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo shall assume (or retain) all statutory employee entitlements, including accrued but untaken annual leave, long service leave, personal leave, sick leave, family, parental or carer’s leave and redundancy or severance pay related to any SpinCo Employee or SpinCo Former Employee.

(b) Parent Liabilities. Effective as of the Effective Time, and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Parent hereby assumes (or retains) or will cause any other member of the CES Group to assume (or retain) and agrees to (or to cause another member of the CES Group to) pay, perform, fulfill, discharge, and indemnify the Spinco Group for, all Liabilities (i) to the extent relating to, arising out of, or resulting from the employment (or termination of employment) of any Retained Employee or any Parent Former Employee, whether such Liabilities relate to or arise out of periods on, prior to or after the Spin-off Date or (ii) which are expressly assumed or retained by the CES Group pursuant to this Agreement.

The intended effect of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided herein, is that (i) the SpinCo Group (or a member thereof) will assume or retain all Liabilities to or related to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees including under the Parent Benefit Plans (with respect to SpinCo

- 7 -

Employees and SpinCo Former Employees) and all Liabilities under or with respect to any SpinCo Benefit Plan or any Employment Agreement with any SpinCo Employee, and (ii) the CES Group (or a member thereof) will assume and retain all Liabilities to or related to Employees and Former Employees other than SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees and all Liabilities under the Parent Benefit Plans (excluding those with respect to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees) and any Employment Agreement with any Retained Employee. To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities and the Parties later determine that such Liabilities should be allocated in connection with the Separation, the Parties will agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.

(d) Transfer of Employees. Except with respect to employees who transfer employment pursuant to Section 2.04 after the Spin-off Date, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that employees of the CES Group who are designated by Parent to transfer employment to the SpinCo Group transfer to the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Spin-off Date, taking into account the requirements of local Law (including, where required by applicable Law, ensuring that they resign from their employment with Parent or a member of the CES Group and accept employment with SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group and sign any documentation required by applicable Law in connection with such transfer).

Section 2.02 Employment with SpinCo.

(a) Retention of Employees. From and after the Effective Time, the Parties intend for SpinCo Employees to remain employed by the SpinCo Group and all other Employees to remain employed by the CES Group. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to identify clearly the SpinCo Employees. SpinCo will be responsible for, and will indemnify the CES Group from and against, any Liabilities incurred (including any severance payments made or required to be made): (i) in connection with the transfer or termination of a SpinCo Employee on or after the Spin-off Date, (ii) arising from or in connection with a failure or refusal by any SpinCo Employee to continue in employment from and after the Spin-off Date, and (iii) any other Liabilities retained or assumed by SpinCo (or any other member of the SpinCo Group) under this Agreement.

- 8 -

with a works council or economic committee, or (C) any applicable Employment Agreement would require SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group to provide any specific terms of employment to any SpinCo Employee in connection with the Distribution, then SpinCo will cause the SpinCo Group to provide such SpinCo Employee with such specific terms. SpinCo will be responsible for liabilities for, and will cause the SpinCo Group to provide, all compensation or benefits (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) to each SpinCo Employee arising from or related to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or the related transfer of the employee to SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group.

Retained Employees (or a person who would otherwise be classified as a Retained Employee, in any case with such status being determined as of the date of transfer) who are subsequently transferred to the SpinCo Group pursuant to this Section 2.04 will be treated as Retained Employees for all purposes hereof during their time as Employees of the CES Group until their actual transfer to the SpinCo Group, upon and following which

product of (a) the number of Parent Shares (including those attributable to dividend equivalent units) subject to the corresponding Parent RSU Award immediately prior to the Spin-off Date, multiplied by (b) the Pre-Distribution Stock Value; divided by (II) the Parent Post-Distribution Stock Value, rounded down to the nearest whole number; and

(B) the number of SpinCo Shares subject to each SpinCo RSU Award (including those attributable to dividend equivalent units) subject to this Section 6.01(a)(i)(A) will be equal to the quotient of (I) the product of (a) the number of Parent Shares (including those attributable to dividend equivalent units) subject to the corresponding Parent RSU Award immediately prior to the Spin-off Date, multiplied by (b) the Pre-Distribution Stock Value; divided by (II) the SpinCo Post-Distribution Stock Value, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(ii) Parent PSU Awards. As determined by the Parent Compensation Committee pursuant to its authority under the applicable Parent Equity Plan, each Parent PSU Award, regardless of by whom held, whether vested or unvested, will be converted effective as of the Spin-off Date as described in this Section 6.01(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, each Parent PSU Award with a performance period that ends on or near the Spin-off Date, but for which the performance results have not yet been determined, will be considered outstanding and unvested as of such date for purposes hereof and will be converted as described in this Section 6.01(a)(ii). Each Parent PSU Award will be either (x) converted effective as of the Spin-off Date into an Adjusted Parent PSU Award (for Retained Employees, Parent Former Employees and Parent non-employee directors) or (y) assumed by SpinCo and converted effective as of the Spin-off Date into a SpinCo PSU Award (for SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01, each Adjusted Parent PSU Award and each SpinCo PSU Award will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting, settlement and termination) after the conversion as applied to the corresponding Parent PSU Award immediately prior to the conversion; provided, however, that:

(A) the number of Parent Shares subject to each Adjusted Parent PSU Award subject to this Section 6.01(a)(ii)(A) will be equal to the quotient of (I) the product of (a) the number of Parent Shares (including those attributable to dividend equivalent units) subject to the corresponding Parent PSU Award immediately prior to the Spin-off Date, multiplied by (b) the Pre-Distribution Stock Value; divided by (II) the Parent Post-Distribution Stock Value, rounded down to the nearest whole number;

(B) the number of SpinCo Shares subject to each SpinCo PSU Award subject to this Section 6.01(a)(ii)(A) will be equal to the quotient of (I) the product of (a) the number of Parent Shares (including those attributable to dividend equivalent units) subject to the corresponding Parent PSU

- 14 -

Award immediately prior to the Spin-off Date, multiplied by (b) the Pre-Distribution Stock Value; divided by (II) the Spinco Post-Distribution Stock Value, rounded down to the nearest whole number; and

(C) the performance criteria and performance targets under each Adjusted Parent PSU Award and each SpinCo PSU Award subject to this Section 6.01(a)(ii)(A) will be subject to equitable adjustment in connection with the Distribution as determined appropriate or required in the sole discretion of the Parent Compensation Committee; provided, however, that nothing in this clause (C) shall limit the authority of the Parent Compensation Committee (with respect to Adjusted Parent PSU Awards) or of the compensation committee of SpinCo (with respect to SpinCo PSU Awards) to exercise its discretion or make adjustments to such awards following the Distribution.

(b) Miscellaneous Award Terms.

(i) After the Spin-off Date, Adjusted Parent Awards, regardless of by whom held, will be obligations retained by and settled by Parent (from the Parent Equity Plan), and SpinCo Awards, regardless of by whom held, will be obligations assumed by and settled by SpinCo (from the SpinCo Equity Plan), in each case, without reimbursement by the other Party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to grants described in this Section 6.01, no SpinCo Employee will be treated as having incurred a termination of employment with respect to any Parent Award solely by reason of the transfer of employment to SpinCo. In addition, none of the Separation, the Distribution, or any employment transfer described in Section 2.04 will constitute a termination of employment for any Employee for purposes of any Adjusted Parent Award or any SpinCo Award. Following the Spin-off Date, for any award adjusted under this Section 6.01, any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition in an award agreement, Employment Agreement or Parent Equity Plan applicable to such award (1) with respect to Adjusted Parent Awards, will be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the applicable award agreement, Employment Agreement or Parent Equity Plan, and (2) with respect to SpinCo Awards, will be deemed to refer to a “Change in Control” as defined in the SpinCo Equity Plan unless otherwise provided in an Employment Agreement between the holder and SpinCo or a subsidiary thereof; provided, however, to the extent that any such award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, and payable upon a “change in control event” for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such award shall be settled in accordance with its original terms.

(ii) If, after the Spin-off Date, (A) the Parties determine it to be in their mutual best interest that an individual’s employment is transferred to the SpinCo Group or to the CES Group in accordance with Section 2.04 or (B)

- 15 -

either Party identifies an administrative error in the individuals identified as holding Adjusted Parent Awards or SpinCo Awards, the amount of awards held by such individuals, the vesting level of such awards, or any other similar error, then the Parties will mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to place, as nearly as reasonably practicable, the individual and Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, in the position in which they would have been had such transfer or error not occurred.

(c) Tax Reporting and Withholding. Following the Spin-off Date, it is expected that: (i) Parent will be responsible for all income, payroll and other tax remittance and reporting related to income of Retained Employees, Parent Former Employees, and, to the extent required, individuals who are or were Parent non-employee directors in respect of Adjusted Parent Awards; and (ii) SpinCo will be responsible for all income, payroll and other tax remittance and reporting related to income of SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees in respect of SpinCo Awards; subject, in both cases, to the terms and conditions of the Israeli Tax Ruling. Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, will facilitate performance by the other Party of its obligations hereunder by promptly remitting amounts or shares withheld in conjunction with a transfer of shares or cash, either (as mutually agreed by the Parties) directly to the applicable taxing authority or to the other Party for remittance to such taxing authority. The Parties will cooperate and communicate with each other and with third-party providers to effectuate withholding and remittance of taxes, as well as required tax reporting, in a timely, efficient and appropriate manner. If Parent or SpinCo determines in its reasonable judgment that any action required under this Section 6.01 will not achieve the intended tax, accounting and legal results, including, without limitation, the intended results under Code Section 409A or FASB ASC Topic 718 – Stock Compensation, then at the request of Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, Parent and SpinCo will mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to achieve such results, or most nearly achieve such results if they originally-intended results are not fully attainable.

(d) Registration and Other Regulatory Requirements; Israeli Tax Ruling. Prior to the Spin-off Date (and in any case before the date of issuance of any SpinCo Shares pursuant to the SpinCo Equity Plan), SpinCo agrees to file a Form S-8 registration statement (or any other required forms) with respect to, and to cause to be registered pursuant to applicable Law, the SpinCo Shares authorized for issuance under the SpinCo Equity Plan, or such similar registration as may be required by applicable local Law. The Parties will take such additional actions as are deemed necessary or advisable to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, including compliance with securities Laws and other legal requirements associated with equity compensation awards in affected non-U.S. jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, treatment of each outstanding Parent RSU Award, Parent PSU Award, SpinCo RSU Award and SpinCo PSU Award, as set forth in this Section 6.01 held by (or for the benefit of) Israeli holders shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Israeli tax ruling governing the subject matter (the “Israeli Tax Ruling”).

- 16 -

(e) Further Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, the Parent Board (or a committee authorized by the Parent Board) may determine, in its sole discretion, not to adjust certain outstanding Parent equity-based awards pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01 where (i) those actions would create or trigger adverse legal, accounting or tax consequences for Parent, SpinCo and/or the affected award holders, or (ii) where the Parent Board (or such other committee authorized by the Parent Board) determines that an adjustment in accordance with the terms provided above is inappropriate due to distortions in either Parent or SpinCo’s share values due, among other things, to an unforeseen temporary market event unrelated to Parent or SpinCo. In such circumstances, Parent and/or SpinCo may take any action necessary or advisable to prevent any such adverse legal, accounting or tax consequences or distortions, including (x) agreeing that the outstanding Parent equity-based awards of the affected award holders will terminate in accordance with the terms of the Parent Equity Plans and the underlying award agreements, in which case Parent will equitably compensate the affected award holders in an alternate manner determined by Parent in its sole discretion, or (y) apply an alternate adjustment method. Where and to the extent required by applicable Law or tax considerations outside the United States, the adjustments described in this Section 6.01 will be deemed to have been effectuated immediately prior to the Spin-off Date.

(f) Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of any Parent RSU Award or Parent PSU Award, all conversions and adjustments pursuant to this Section 6.01 will be made taking into account the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable.

Section 6.02 Bonus and Incentive Plans.

(a) Generally. The SpinCo Group will retain (or assume) and be responsible for all bonus payments and other cash incentive payments to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees in respect of any plan period, and the CES Group will retain (or assume) and be responsible for all bonus payments and other cash incentive payments to Retained Employees and Parent Former Employees in respect of any plan period. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parent Compensation Committee (with respect to any such bonus or cash incentive obligations to Retained Employees and Parent Former Employees) and the compensation committee of SpinCo (with respect to any such obligations to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees) shall have the authority to determine the satisfaction of applicable performance conditions and to exercise discretion or make adjustments to such obligations following the Spin-off Date.

(b) Phantom Awards. Each Parent Phantom Award shall, for applicable purposes of this Agreement, be considered a Parent RSU Award and shall be subject to conversion as described in Section 6.01(a)(i)(A) or Section 6.01(a)(i)(B), as applicable; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Parent Phantom Award adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.02(b) will remain subject to the same underlying terms and conditions as the original Parent Phantom Award (including, but not limited to, the fact that such award shall be settled in cash).

- 17 -

(i) The SpinCo Group will be responsible for all bonus payments to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Former Employees under Parent’s Stock Bonus Program in respect of any bonus period for which the scheduled delivery date has not yet occurred as of the Spin-off Date. Any portion of an annual bonus payout that a SpinCo Employee or SpinCo Former Employee has elected to receive in Parent Shares under the Stock Bonus Program will instead be paid in SpinCo Shares and (other than the settlement in SpinCo Shares) such portion of the annual bonus payout will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the discount rate, valuation methodology, payment schedule, and vesting schedule, if applicable) as set forth in the Stock Bonus Program and applicable enrollment form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Value Date (as defined in the Stock Bonus Program) for a Stock Bonus Program bonus period occurs prior to the Spin-off Date but the scheduled delivery date for such bonus period occurs following the Spin-off Date, then any portion of the annual bonus payout that a SpinCo Employee or SpinCo Former Employee elected to receive in Parent Shares will instead be valued in SpinCo Shares immediately following the Spin-off Date and settled in SpinCo Shares on the original scheduled delivery date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any valuation in Parent Shares that occurred prior to the Spin-off Date shall be disregarded).

(ii) Each restricted stock unit award granted to an Employee under Parent’s Stock Bonus Program that is outstanding and remains subject to vesting as of the Spin-off Date shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be treated as a Parent RSU Award and shall be subject to conversion as described in Section 6.01(a)(i)(A) or Section 6.01(a)(i)(B), as applicable.

In addition, to the extent applicable, SpinCo will transfer to Parent any and all employment records and information with respect to Retained Employees and other records reasonably required by Parent to enable Parent properly to carry out its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.05 Preservation of Rights. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, nothing herein will be construed as a limitation on the right of the CES Group or the SpinCo Group to (a) amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or (b) terminate the employment of any Employee.

Section 7.06 Not a Change in Control. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Separation, Distribution and other transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement and this Agreement do not constitute a “change in control” or a “change of control” for purposes of any Benefit Plan, any Employment Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement.

Section 7.07 Reimbursements; Interest on Late Payments. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the CES Group, on one hand, and the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, may incur costs and expenses (including payment of compensation) which are the responsibility of the other Party as set forth in this Agreement.

Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or, if no such date is prescribed, within thirty (30) days after written demand for payment is made, shall accrue interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the due date therefor through and including the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) (compounded monthly). Such rate shall be redetermined at the beginning of each calendar quarter following such due date. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days for which due.

Section 7.12 Third Party Consents. Without limiting or otherwise modifying the provisions regarding Approvals or Notifications set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, if the obligation of any Party under this Agreement depends upon the Approval or Notification of a Third Party, such as a vendor or insurer, and that Approval or Notification is withheld, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the affected provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent practicable; provided that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Parent and SpinCo, neither Parent nor SpinCo shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any 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. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of a Third Party to provide a required Approval or Notification, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner, taking into account the original purpose of the affected provision.

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
