17

against any liability for the related Tax and (vi) whether to retain outside firms to prepare or review such Tax Return.

(b)                                 Spinco Consent to Combined Returns. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3:

(i)                                     Distributing shall provide to Spinco a copy of a substantially completed draft of any Combined Return at least forty-five business days prior to its due date (taking into account any extensions), or in the case of a Combined Return with a due date (taking into account any extensions) within forty-five business days following the Distribution Date, as soon as is reasonably practicable before such due date.  Spinco shall thereafter have the right to review and consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the treatment in such Combined Return of any Tax Items, Taxes, or Tax Benefits allocated to Spinco pursuant to Section 2.2, to the extent such treatment is not otherwise within the sole discretion of Distributing pursuant to Sections 3.4(d) or (e).  Distributing shall provide to Spinco any information relating to any Combined Return that is reasonably necessary for Spinco to be able to provide its consent pursuant to this Section 3.4(b).

(c)                                  Spinco Tax Returns.  With respect to any Separate Return for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(b), Spinco may not take (and shall cause the members of the Spinco Group not to take) any positions that it knows, or reasonably should know, would adversely affect any member of the Distributing Group, except to the extent that the failure to take such position would be contrary to applicable Tax Law; and Spinco and the other members of the Spinco Group must (x) allocate Tax Items between any Separate Return for which Spinco is responsible and any related Combined Return that is filed with respect to the same Tax Year in a manner that is consistent with the reporting of such Tax Items on such related Combined Return and (y) make any applicable elections required under applicable Tax Law (including, without limitation, under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)), necessary to effect such allocation.

(d)                                 Election to File Consolidated, Combined or Unitary Tax Returns.  Distributing shall have the sole discretion of filing any Tax Return on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis, if such Tax Return would include at least one member of each Group and the filing of such Tax Return is elective under applicable Tax Law.

(e)                                  Filing Claims for Carrybacks.  If a Tax Item allocable to Spinco is carried back from a Tax Year beginning in the Post-Distribution Period and

18

generates a Tax Benefit on a Combined Return filed with respect to a Tax Year beginning in the Pre-Distribution Period, then, upon the request of Spinco, Distributing may, in its sole discretion, file a claim for refund arising from such Tax Benefit.  Any resulting Tax Benefit shall be allocated to Spinco pursuant to Section 2.2(f), except as otherwise provided by Section 2.2(g).

(f)                                   Withholding and Reporting.  Following the Effective Time, in the event any Compensatory Equity Interests are settled (whether by issuance, exercise, vesting or otherwise) by the corporation that is the issuer or obligor under the Compensatory Equity Interest (the “issuing corporation”) or by another member of the Group to which the issuing corporation belongs, and the issuing corporation is not a member of the same Group as the Employing Party, the Company whose Group includes the issuing corporation shall promptly remit to the Employing Party an amount of cash equal to the amount required to be withheld in respect of any withholding Taxes, and in the application of this Agreement, the Employing Party shall not be liable for such withholding Taxes or for failure to remit to the applicable Tax Authority any amount required to have been withheld from the recipient of the Compensatory Equity Interest in connection with such issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement, except to the extent that the Company whose Group includes the issuing corporation shall have remitted such amount to the Employing Party or to the applicable Tax Authority.  Distributing shall promptly notify Spinco, and Spinco shall promptly notify Distributing, regarding the exercise of any option or the issuance, vesting, exercise or settlement of any other Compensatory Equity Interest to the extent that, as a result of such issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement, any other party may be entitled to a Tax Benefit or required to pay any Tax, or such information otherwise may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Return or payment of any Tax by such other party or parties.

SECTION 4.                         Tax Payments.

4.1                               Payment of Taxes to Tax Authority.  Distributing shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2(a), and Spinco shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

4.2                               Indemnification Payments.

(a)                                 Tax Payments Made by the Distributing Group.  If any member of the Distributing Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes allocated to Spinco under this Agreement, Spinco shall pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to Distributing not later than the later of (i) five business days after receiving notification requesting such amount, and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority.

(b)                                 Tax Payments Made by the Spinco Group. If any member of the Spinco Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes

19

allocated to Distributing under this Agreement, Distributing shall pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to Spinco not later than the later of (i) five business days after receiving notification requesting such amount, and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority.

4.3                               Payments for Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits.

(a)                                 Tax Refund or Tax Benefit Received by Distributing Group.  If a member of the Distributing Group receives a Tax Refund with respect to Taxes for which Spinco is liable hereunder or uses a Tax Benefit for which Spinco is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.1(a), Distributing shall pay to Spinco, within five business days following the receipt of the Tax Refund or the use of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Refund or Tax Benefit.

(b)                                 Tax Refund or Tax Benefit Received by Spinco Group.  If a member of the Spinco Group receives a Tax Refund with respect to Taxes for which Distributing is liable hereunder or uses a Tax Benefit for which Distributing is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.1(b), Spinco shall pay to Distributing, within five business days following the receipt of the Tax Refund or the use of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Refund or Tax Benefit.

(c)                                  Rules Regarding Tax Benefits.  For purposes of this Agreement, a Tax Benefit (other than a Tax Refund) shall be considered used or received (i) at the time the Tax Return is filed with respect to such Tax Benefit, or (ii) if no Tax Return is filed, (x) at the time a Tax Refund generated by use of such Tax Benefit is received or (y) if no Tax Refund is received, at the time the Tax would have been due in the absence of such Tax Benefit.  The amount of such Tax Benefit shall be the amount by which Taxes are actually reduced by such Tax Benefit.

4.4                               Interest on Late Payments.  Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or, if no such date is prescribed, not later than five business days after demand for payment is made (the “Due Date”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the date of payment at the Interest Rate.  Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

4.5                               Initial Determinations and Subsequent Adjustments.  The initial determination of the amount of any payment that one Company is required to make to another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the Tax Authority.  The amounts paid under this Agreement shall be redetermined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination shall be made, as appropriate, if as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority or for any other reason (w) additional Taxes to which such determination relates are subsequently paid, (x) a Tax Refund or a Tax Benefit relating to such Taxes is received or used, (y) the amount or character of any Tax Item is adjusted or redetermined, or (z) a Tax Benefit allocable to Distributing that is reduced in one Tax Year by reason of the

20

carryback of a Tax Item allocable to the Spinco Business, resulting in an allocation to Distributing of a Tax Benefit pursuant to Section 2.2(g), is used by Distributing in a subsequent Tax Year.  Each payment required by the immediately preceding sentence (i) as a result of a payment of additional Taxes will be due five business days after the date on which the additional Taxes were paid or, if later, five business days after the date of a request from the other Company for the payment, (ii) as a result of the receipt or use of a Tax Refund or Tax Benefit will be due five business days after the Tax Refund or Tax Benefit was received or used, or (iii) as a result of an adjustment or redetermination of the amount or character of a Tax Item will be due five business days after the date on which the final action resulting in such adjustment or redetermination is taken by a Tax Authority or either Company or any of their Subsidiaries.  If a payment is made as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority which does not conclude the matter, further adjusting payments will be made, as appropriate, to reflect the outcome of subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings.

4.6                               Tax Consequences of Payments.  For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement as a capital contribution or a distribution between Distributing and Spinco, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution.  If the receipt or accrual of any payment under this Agreement causes, directly or indirectly, an increase in the taxable income of the recipient under one or more applicable Tax Laws, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the recipient thereof shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income.  To the extent that Taxes for which any party hereto (the indemnifying party) is required to pay another party (the indemnified party) pursuant to this Agreement may be deducted or credited in determining the amount of any other Taxes required to be paid by the indemnified party (for example, state Taxes which are permitted to be deducted in determining federal Taxes), the amount of any payment made to the indemnified party by the indemnifying party shall be decreased by taking into account any resulting reduction in other Taxes of the indemnified party.  If such a reduction in Taxes of the indemnified party occurs following the payment made to the indemnified Party with respect to the relevant indemnified Taxes, the indemnified party shall promptly repay the indemnifying party the amount of such reduction when actually realized.  If the Tax Benefit arising from the foregoing reduction of Taxes described in this Section 4.6 is subsequently decreased or eliminated, then the indemnifying party shall promptly pay the indemnified party the amount of the decrease in such Tax Benefit.

SECTION 5.                         Assistance and Cooperation.

5.1                               Cooperation.  In addition to the obligations enumerated in Sections 3.3 and 7.7, Distributing and Spinco shall cooperate (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters, including provision of relevant documents and information in their possession and making available to each other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries or

21

Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes.

5.2                               Supplemental Rulings.

(a)                                 Each of the Companies agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Company (the “Requesting Party”), each Company shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, a Supplemental Ruling from the IRS.  The Requesting Party shall reimburse the other parties for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such parties or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with obtaining or requesting such Supplemental Ruling within five business days after receiving an invoice from such party therefor.

(b)                                 Distributing shall provide Spinco with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Supplemental IRS Submission to be filed by Distributing prior to the filing of such Supplemental IRS Submission with the IRS, and Spinco shall provide Distributing with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Supplemental IRS Submission to be filed by Spinco prior to the filing of such Supplemental IRS Submission with the IRS.  No Supplemental IRS Submission shall be filed by Spinco with the IRS unless, prior to such filing Distributing shall have agreed as to the contents of such Supplemental IRS Submission to the extent that the Supplemental IRS Submission (i) includes statements or representations relating to facts that are or will be under the control of any member of the Distributing Group or any of its Affiliates or (ii) is relevant to, or creates, any actual or potential obligations of, or limitations on, any member of the Distributing Group or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that if the IRS requests same-day filing of a Supplemental IRS Submission that does not include any material issue or statement, then Spinco is required only to make a good faith effort to notify Distributing’s representatives and to give such representatives an opportunity to review and comment on such Supplemental IRS Submission prior to filing it with the IRS.  No Supplemental IRS Submission shall be filed by Distributing with the IRS unless, prior to the filing, Spinco shall have agreed as to the contents of such Supplemental IRS Submission to the extent that the Supplemental IRS Submission (i) includes statements or representations relating to facts that are or will be under the control of any member of the Spinco Group or any of its Affiliates or (ii) is relevant to, or creates, any actual or potential obligations of, or limitations on, any member of the Spinco Group or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that if the IRS requests same-day filing of a Supplemental IRS Submission that does not include any material issue or statement, then Distributing is required only to make a good faith effort to notify Spinco’s representatives and to give such representatives an opportunity to review and comment on such Supplemental IRS Submission prior to filing it with the IRS.  Prior to filing any Supplemental IRS Submission that includes any material issue or statement, each Company shall represent to the other Company that (i) it has reviewed the Supplemental IRS Submission, and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to such Company, each member of its Group, and their respective Affiliates that

(c)                                  Neither Company nor its representatives shall conduct any substantive communications with the IRS regarding any material issue arising with respect to any Supplemental Ruling, including meetings or conferences with IRS personnel, whether telephonically, in person or otherwise, without first notifying the other Company (or its representatives) and giving the other Company (or its representatives) a reasonable opportunity to participate, and a reasonable number of such Company’s representatives shall have an opportunity to participate in all conferences or meetings with IRS personnel that take place in person, regardless of the nature of the issues expected to be discussed; provided, however, that in the case of communications concerning a Supplemental Ruling that occur during an unscheduled conference initiated by the IRS or a conference initiated by a Company or its representatives for a purpose unrelated to a Supplemental Ruling in connection with which it is not reasonably practicable to provide to the other Company or its representatives advance notice and an opportunity to participate, such Company (or its representatives) shall promptly update the other Company and its representatives as to the content of such communications.  Each Company shall promptly provide the other Company (or its representatives) with copies of any correspondence received by such Company (or its representatives) from the IRS relating to any Supplemental Ruling.

SECTION 6.                         Tax Records.

6.1                               Retention of Tax Records.  Each of Distributing and Spinco shall preserve, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to preserve, all Tax Records that are in their possession, and that could affect the liability of any member of the other Group for Taxes, for as long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (x) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, as extended, and (y) seven years after the Distribution Date.

their Affiliates or with respect to any audit, litigation or other proceeding by a Tax Authority relating to such return.

6.3                               Confidentiality.  Each party hereby agrees that it will hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence all records and information prepared and shared by and among the parties in carrying out the intent of this Agreement, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes or unless disclosure is compelled by a governmental authority.  Information and documents of one party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall not be deemed to be confidential for purposes of this Section 6.3 to the extent such information or document (i) is previously known to or in the possession of the other party or parties (the “Receiving Party”) and is not otherwise subject to a requirement to be kept confidential, (ii) becomes publicly available by means other than unauthorized disclosure under this Agreement by the Receiving Party or (iii) is received from a third party without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party after reasonable diligence, a duty of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party.

6.4                               Delivery of Tax Records.  On or before the Distribution Date, Distributing shall provide to Spinco (to the extent not previously provided or held by any member of the Spinco Group on the Distribution Date) copies of (i) the Separate Returns of any member of the Spinco Group, (ii) the relevant portions of any other Tax Returns with respect to any member of the Spinco Group, and (iii) other existing Tax Records (or the relevant portions thereof) reasonably necessary to prepare and file any Tax Returns of, or with respect to, the members of the Spinco Group, or to defend or contest Tax matters relevant to the members of the Spinco Group, including in each case, all Tax Records related to Tax attributes of the members of the Spinco Group and any and all communications or agreements with, or rulings by, any Tax Authority with respect to any member of the Spinco Group.

received from any Tax Authority or third party in respect of any such matters, and (ii) the amount of such asserted Tax liability or other claim.  Such notice shall be given within a reasonable period of time after notice thereof was received by such Company, but any failure to give timely notice shall not affect the indemnities given hereunder except, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying Company shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.  Thereafter, the indemnified Company shall deliver to the indemnifying Company such additional information with respect to such Tax Contest, Joint Claim or Spinco Claim in its possession that the indemnifying Company may reasonably request.

7.6                               Control of Tax Contests Generally.

(a)                                 General Rule.  Except as provided in Sections 7.6(b), 7.8, and 7.9, each Company (or the appropriate member of its Group) shall have full responsibility, control and discretion in handling, defending, settling or contesting any Tax Contest involving a Tax reported (or that, it is asserted, should have been reported) on a Tax Return for which such Company is responsible for preparing and filing (or causing to be prepared and filed) pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Non-Preparer Participation Rights.  With respect to a Tax Contest (other than with respect to a Joint Claim or Spinco Claim) of any Tax Return which could result in a Tax liability for which the Non-Preparer may be liable under this Agreement or the reduction in any Tax Benefit to which the Non-Preparer may be entitled to under this Agreement, (i) the Non-Preparer shall, at its own cost and expense, be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (ii) the Preparer shall keep the Non-Preparer updated and informed, and shall consult with the Non-Preparer, (iii) the Preparer shall act in good faith with a view to the merits in connection with the Tax Contest, and (iv) the Preparer shall not settle or compromise such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Non-Preparer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement or compromise could have a more than de minimis impact on the Non-Preparer and the other members of its Group, taken as a whole.

7.7                               Cooperation.  The parties shall provide each other with all information relating to a Tax Contest, Joint Claim or Spinco Claim which is needed by the other party or parties to handle, participate in, defend, settle or contest the Tax Contest, Joint Claim or Spinco Claim.  At the request of any party, the other parties shall take any reasonable action (e.g., executing a power of attorney) that is necessary to enable the requesting party to exercise its rights under this Agreement in respect of a Tax Contest, Joint Claim or Spinco Claim.  Spinco shall assist Distributing, and Distributing shall assist Spinco, in taking any remedial actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax Authority.  The indemnifying party or parties shall reimburse the indemnified party or parties for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 7.7.

7.8                               Joint Claims.  Distributing and Spinco will have the right to jointly control the defense, compromise or settlement of any Joint Claim; provided, however, that with respect to any Joint Claim arising under the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement

27

(or otherwise subject to the indemnification provisions of the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement), Spinco’s rights to jointly control, or otherwise participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of, any such Joint Claim will be subject to the terms of the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement, as applicable.  Distributing shall use reasonable efforts to provide Spinco with the right to jointly control with Distributing and otherwise participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of, any Joint Claim arising under the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement (or otherwise subject to the indemnification provisions of the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement), including taking action on behalf of Spinco (at the request of Spinco) to the extent any other party to the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement does not recognize Spinco’s ability to act thereunder; provided, however, that Distributing shall not be required to relinquish any rights that it has to control the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Joint Claim (other than to Spinco pursuant to the foregoing).  No indemnified Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Joint Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Company, which consent may be withheld in the indemnifying Company’s sole discretion.  No indemnifying Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Joint Claim unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified Company and (y) does not enjoin or restrict in any way the future actions or conduct of the indemnified Company (other than with respect to its performance hereunder).

7.9                               Spinco Claims.  Spinco will have the right to control, directly or indirectly, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Spinco Claim, and Distributing shall use reasonable efforts to provide Spinco with the right to control, and otherwise participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of, such Spinco Claim arising under the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement (or otherwise subject to the indemnification provisions of such agreement), including taking action at the direction of Spinco to the extent any other party to the Split-off Tax Sharing Agreement does not recognize Spinco’s ability to act thereunder.  Distributing shall not settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any Spinco Claim without the prior written consent of Spinco, which consent may be withheld in Spinco’s sole discretion.  Spinco shall not settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Spinco Claim unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of Distributing and (y) does not enjoin or restrict in any way the future actions or conduct of Distributing (other than with respect to its performance hereunder).

7.10                        Other Claims.  In the event any Distributing Indemnitee should have a claim against Spinco, or any Spinco Indemnitee should have a claim against Distributing, under this Section 7 that does not involve a third party action, such indemnified Company (or Distributing on behalf of all Distributing Indemnitees or Spinco on behalf of all Spinco Indemnitees, as applicable) shall as promptly as practicable notify the indemnifying Company of such claim, describing such claim and the factual basis thereof, the amount of such claim (if known) and the method of computation of such amount, all with reasonable particularity.

28
