(b)         Except as provided in Section 3.01(c), effective as of the Closing Date, ARD Holdings does hereby, on behalf of itself and each other member of the ARD Holdings Group, their respective Affiliates (other than any member of the Listco Group), successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Closing Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the ARD Holdings Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such) (the “ARD Holdings Releasors”), unequivocally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and discharge each member of the Listco Group, their respective Affiliates (other than any member of the ARD Holdings Group), successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Closing Date have been stockholders (other than any

(c)          Nothing contained in Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b) shall impair any right of either Party to enforce this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  Nothing contained in Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b) shall release any Person from:

(i)                                     any Liability provided in or resulting from any Contract entered into after the Closing Date between a member of one Group, on the one hand, and a member of the other Group, on the other hand; or

(ii)                                  any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 3.01.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b) shall release any member of one Group from complying with its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of a member of the other Group who was a director, officer or employee of a member of such first Group on or prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any litigation involving a member of such first Group and was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to the contractual obligations existing on or prior to the Closing Date.

(d)         Listco shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Listco 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 any ARD Holdings Releasee released pursuant to Section 3.01(a) with respect to, subject to Section 3.01(c), any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 3.01(a).  ARD Holdings shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the ARD Holdings 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 any Listco Releasee released pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to, subject to Section 3.01(c), any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 3.01(b).

(e)          It is the intent of the Parties by virtue of the provisions of this Section 3.01 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 on or before the Closing Date, between or among any member of the Listco Group, on the one hand, and any member of the ARD Holdings Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or

7

alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Closing Date), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.01(c).  At any time, at the request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02                       Indemnification by Listco.  Except as expressly provided in any provision of this Agreement, following the Closing Date, each member of the ARD Holdings Group and their stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by Listco from and against all losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (hereinafter a “Loss”), to the extent arising out of or resulting from all actions (or omissions to act) of any member of the Listco Group under each Relevant Contract described in Section 2.01(b) and all actions of any member of the ARD Holdings Group in respect of each Relevant Contract that are taken (or not taken) at the direction of any member of the Listco Group (except to the extent resulting from any action by a member of the ARD Holdings Group with respect to a Relevant Contract that is not taken at the direction of a member of the Listco Group and that constitutes a breach by such member of the ARD Holdings Group of such Relevant Contract).

Section 3.03                       Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds.

(a)         The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.02 will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability.  Accordingly, the amount that Listco is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 3.02 (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from Listco in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse Listco for any payment made in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b)         An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or other third party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate any member of the ARD Holdings Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds.

(c)          All Indemnity Payments under this Agreement shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of Indemnity Payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnifiable Loss.  In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any Indemnity

8

Payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnifiable Loss.  For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable (including Taxes payable on an estimated basis) by such Indemnified Party is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Party would be required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment or the incurrence or payment of such amount indemnified against as the case may be.  The Parties shall make any adjusting payment between each other as is required under this Section 3.03(c) within ten (10) days of the date an Indemnified Party is deemed to have actually realized each net Tax benefit or net Tax cost.  The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination with respect to the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes and any payments necessary to reflect such adjustment shall be made within ten (10) days of such determination.

Section 3.04        Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

(a)  An Indemnified Party shall give Listco notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within sixty (60) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release Listco from its obligations under Section 3.02, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure to provide notice.

(b)  If an Indemnified Party receives notice of any Action (a “Third Party Claim”) against it that may give rise to a claim for a Loss under Section 3.02, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give Listco notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release Listco from any of its obligations under Section 3.02, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure to provide notice.  Listco shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party.  If Listco elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense with its own counsel, and at its own expense.  In the event that both the Indemnified Party and Listco (or any other member of either Group) are named defendants in such Third Party Claim, Listco may employ one counsel of its choice to act in joint defense of such Third Party Claim, so long as representation by one counsel in such joint defense is permitted under the applicable rules of professional conduct or ethics.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Listco in such defense and make available to Listco, at Listco’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by Listco.  If Listco elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless Listco consents in writing to such payment or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of Listco is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 3.04 and proposes to settle such claims

9

or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give Listco prompt written notice thereof and Listco shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.  Listco shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim for which it obtains a full release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim or to which settlement the Indemnified Party consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

Section 3.05        Additional Matters.

(a)   In the event of payment by or on behalf of Listco to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, Listco shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party 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.  Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Listco in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of Listco, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(b)   In the event of an Action in which Listco is not a named defendant, if Listco shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to add Listco as a named defendant or substitute Listco for the named defendant.  If such addition or substitution cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow Listco to manage the Action as set forth in this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

LEGAL MATTERS

Section 4.01        Privileged Matters.  (a)  The Parties recognize that certain legal and other professional services (both internal and external) have been and will be provided prior to and after the Closing Date and have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of the members of each Group, and that each member of each Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges that may be asserted under applicable Law; provided that with respect to such services the Parties agree as follows:

(i)            the Parties shall not be entitled to assert privilege with respect to such legal and other professional services provided prior to the Closing Date against any member of any other Group;

(ii)           ARD Holdings shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the ARD Holdings Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the business of any member of the ARD Holdings Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ARD Holdings or Listco (or any members of their respective Groups);

10

(iii)          Listco shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the Listco Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the business of any member of the Listco Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ARD Holdings or Listco (or any members of their respective Groups); and

(iv)          the Parties shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 4.01, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01(a)(ii) and (iii).  All privileges relating to any Actions or other matters in which both Listco and ARD Holdings retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement shall be subject to a shared privilege between them.

(b)   Neither Party (itself or on behalf of any member of its Group) may waive any privilege that could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party (or any member of its Group) has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed or as provided in Section 4.01(c) or (d) below.  Consent shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within fifteen (15) days after written notice to the Party requesting such consent.  Each Party agrees to maintain, preserve and assert all privileges, including all privileges arising under or relating to the attorney-client relationship (which shall include the attorney-client and the work product doctrine).

(c)   In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or a member of the other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties or the applicable members of its Group, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

(d)   If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or any members of either Group regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of a Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably condition, withhold or delay consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.  Each Party agrees that it will not condition, withhold or delay consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e)   Upon receipt by a Party or by any member of its Group of any subpoena, discovery, court order or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if a Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that arguably call for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information

11

requested or required to be produced or disclosed and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 4.01 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

Section 5.04        Allocation of Costs and Expenses for Luxembourg Offices.  Each Party shall pay (or, to the extent incurred by and paid for by any member of the other Group, shall promptly reimburse such member of the other Group for any and all amounts so paid), in proportion to their relative usage, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by it or any other member of its Group on or after the Closing Date in connection with their use of the Luxembourg Offices, including fees, costs and expenses of employees and in respect of services related thereto.

Section 5.05        Dividends and Dividend Restrictions.  (a)  Following the Closing Date, Listco intends to pay dividends to all shareholders in amounts that will, at a minimum, be sufficient to enable AFSA to satisfy the cash interest payment obligations under the Toggle Notes; and (b) ARD Holdings acknowledges that Listco’s ability to pay such dividends is subject to compliance with applicable Law, any obligations imposed by applicable Contracts and the Listco Articles, including the requirement that any dividends be approved by Listco’s shareholders.  In order to preserve its ability to pay such dividends, Listco agrees that so long as the Toggle Notes are outstanding, Listco shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Listco Group to, agree to restrictions on the payment of dividends that are materially more restrictive than the restrictions in place under any Contract or agreement existing on the Closing Date, unless such restriction would not have a material adverse effect on Listco’s ability to pay dividends in accordance with Section 5.05(a) (such determination to be made at the time such restrictions are entered into).

Section 5.08                       Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 5.09                       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 5.10                       Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other Party), and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 5.12                       Waiver.  Either Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.  The failure of a Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

Section 5.13                       No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied (including the provisions of Article III relating to indemnified parties), is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.
