Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in Section 8.1.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Parent owns and operates the business commonly referred to as the “Branded Business”, which consists of yoga, fitness, and wellness products and physical media distributed through Parent’s website, apps, retail network, and catalogs, and which also includes Gaiam, Inc.’s eco-travel business;

WHEREAS, Spinco was incorporated on September 29, 2006 and since the date of its incorporation, and prior to the Spin-Off (as defined herein), has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and has been operating as a business division of Parent operating under the brand name “Gaiam TV”;

WHEREAS, certain assets and liabilities of Parent generally consisting of those associated with the global digital video subscription service doing business as “Gaiam TV” have previously been contributed to Spinco as reflected in the financial statements of Spinco as reflected in the registration statement on the Form 10 (the “Prior Contribution”);

WHEREAS, the Parent Board has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of Parent and its shareholders to reorganize its assets and liabilities by means of a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Spinco, and the contribution of certain remaining assets and liabilities of Parent generally consisting of those associated with the global digital video subscription service doing business as “Gaiam TV” set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Remaining Assets” and the “Remaining Assumed Liabilities”) on the Distribution Date (as defined herein);

WHEREAS, the Spin-Off is motivated, in substantial part, by Parent Board’s conclusion that separating the Branded Business and the Spinco Business (as defined herein) into two independent and focused companies is the best way to grow and unlock the full value of Parent’s businesses in both the short and long term;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Restructuring (as defined herein) and the distribution (the “Distribution”), by means of a dividend, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Spinco to the holders of record on the Record Date of Parent’s Class A Gaiam, Inc. common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Parent Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Gaiam, Inc. common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Parent Class B Common Stock” and together with Parent Class A Common Stock, the “Parent Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Restructuring and the Distribution, have been approved by the Parent Board and, to the extent applicable, the Spinco Board (as defined herein);

WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Restructuring and the Distribution, are intended to qualify, under, among other provisions, Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, this Agreement constitutes, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms on which, and the conditions subject to which, they intend to implement the measures referred to above and elsewhere herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE RESTRUCTURING

1.1 Restructuring.

(a) The Parties have taken or will take, and have caused or will cause their respective Subsidiaries to take, all actions that are necessary or appropriate to implement and accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Restructuring”).

(b) The Parties agree that this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). All the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring and the Distribution are intended to be effected pursuant to same plan of reorganization, even though there may be delays between the completion of certain of the transactions.

1.2 Contribution and Transfer of Spinco Assets; Assumption of Spinco Assumed Liabilities.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in furtherance of the Restructuring and the Spin-Off, by no later than the Distribution Date:

(i) Parent shall cause all of its (or its Subsidiaries’) rights, title and interest in and to all of the Remaining Assets to be contributed, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, directly or indirectly, to Spinco, and Spinco agrees to accept or cause to be accepted all such rights, title and interest in and to all the Spinco Assets (the “Contribution”).

(ii) Parent shall cause all of the Remaining Assumed Liabilities to be assigned, directly or indirectly, to Spinco, and Spinco shall accept, assume, perform, discharge and fulfill all of the Spinco Assumed Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms.

(iii) The Parties shall execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate entities such additional documents and instruments as shall be necessary to effect the valid and effective transfer to Spinco, and assumption by Spinco, of the Spinco Assets, including the Remaining Assets and Spinco Assumed Liabilities, including the Remaining Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Upon completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.2(a) above: (i) Spinco will own, directly or indirectly, the Spinco Business and the Spinco Assets and be subject to the Spinco Assumed Liabilities; and (ii) Parent will continue to own, directly or indirectly, the Parent Retained Businesses and the Parent Retained Assets and continue to be subject to the Parent Retained Liabilities.

(c) In the event that any transfer, conveyance or assignment of any Spinco Assets or Spinco Assumed Liabilities has not been effected at or before the Distribution Date, the obligation to transfer such Spinco Assets or Spinco Assumed Liabilities shall continue past the Distribution Date and shall be accomplished as soon thereafter as practicable.

(d) For purposes of this Section 1.2 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms have the corresponding meanings:

(i) “Parent Retained Assets” means all Assets which are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries other than the Spinco Assets.

(ii) “Parent Retained Businesses” means all businesses which are held, conducted or operated by Parent or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Distribution Date other than the Spinco Business.

(iii) “Parent Retained Liabilities” means all Liabilities of Parent or its Subsidiaries other than the Spinco Assumed Liabilities.

(iv) “Spinco Assets” means all Assets owned by Parent, Spinco or their respective Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Distribution Date which (A) are used primarily in, or that primarily relate to, the Spinco Business, or (B) are otherwise assigned to and assumed by Spinco in connection with the Spin-Off, including without limitation all Assets reflected in the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet.

(v) “Spinco Assumed Liabilities” means all Liabilities (A) arising out of or related to the Spinco Business or the Spinco Assets (B) which also meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) such Liabilities are reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet, or are required by GAAP to be so reflected or reserved against (regardless of whether or not actually so reflected or reserved against); (2) such Liabilities are current Liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business (regardless of when such Liabilities were incurred or whether such Liabilities were reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet); (3) such Liabilities arise out of or result from Spinco’s material breach of the Spinco Financial Representations; (4) such Liabilities arise out of or result from Spinco’s material breach of any Spinco Contract (regardless of when such Liabilities were incurred or whether such Liabilities were reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet or the

Interim Balance Sheet); or (5) such Liabilities arise, become due and payable, or otherwise accrue subsequent to the Distribution Date, including without limitation Liabilities arising after the Distribution Date under the Spinco Contracts. For avoidance of doubt, the term “Spinco Assumed Liabilities” shall not include Liabilities which do not meet any of the criteria in the foregoing (1) through (4), notwithstanding that such Liabilities may arise out of or be related to the Spinco Business or the Spinco Assets.

(vi) “Spinco Business” means the global digital video subscription service doing business as “Gaiam TV”.

1.3 Third Party Consents and Government Approvals. To the extent that any transaction or step contemplated by the Contribution, the Distribution, the Restructuring Agreements or the Other Agreements requires a consent of any third party or a Governmental Authorization, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such consent and Governmental Authorization at or prior to the time such consent or Governmental Authorization is required in order to lawfully effect the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

1.4 Restructuring Documents. All documents and instruments used to effect the Restructuring and otherwise to comply with this Agreement shall be in form satisfactory to Parent, Spinco and any additional signatories thereto.

1.5 Qualification as Reorganization. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (a) each step of the Restructuring is generally intended to be undertaken in a manner so that no gain or loss is recognized by Parent, Spinco or their respective Subsidiaries, and so that shareholders of Parent recognize gain only to the extent that they receive cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (b) the Contribution, the Distribution and the other steps described herein are intended to qualify as transactions that are described in Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code.

ARTICLE II

THE DISTRIBUTION

2.1 The Distribution.

(a) The Parent Board shall have the authority and right: (i) to declare or refrain from declaring the Distribution; (ii) to establish and change the record date for the Distribution (the “Record Date”); (iii) to establish and change the date on which the Distribution and Spin-Off shall be effective (the “Distribution Date”); and (iv) prior to the Distribution Date, to establish and change the procedures for effecting the Distribution; subject, in all cases, to the applicable provisions of the CBCA.

(b) On the Distribution Date, subject to the conditions to the Distribution set forth in Section 2.2, Parent shall cause to be distributed to the holders of record of Parent Common Stock on the Record Date, as a dividend, all the issued and outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock on the basis of (i) one share of Class A Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Spinco (“Spinco Class A Common Stock”) for each share(s) of Parent Class A Common Stock held of record on the Record Date and (ii) one share of Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Spinco (“Spinco Class B Common Stock” and together with the

Spinco Class A Common Stock, “Spinco Common Stock”) for each share(s) of Parent Class B Common Stock held of record on the Record Date. Parent will give effect to the foregoing sentence by causing the Transfer Agent to make the Distribution on the Distribution Date, including by crediting the appropriate class and number of shares of Spinco Common Stock to book entry accounts for each such record holder of Spinco Common Stock or designated transferee or transferees of each such record holder of Spinco Common Stock. For shareholders of Parent who own Parent Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Spinco Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. No action by any holder of Parent Common Stock on the Record Date shall be necessary for such shareholder (or such shareholder’s designated transferee or transferees) to receive the applicable number of shares of Spinco Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) to which such shareholder is entitled in the Distribution.

(c) Shareholders of Parent who, after aggregating the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such shareholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Spinco Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of Spinco Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Transfer Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (i) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Spinco Common Stock allocable to each other holder of record or beneficial owner of Parent Common Stock as of close of business on the Record Date, (ii) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (iii) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Spinco Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income Tax purposes. Spinco shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Transfer Agent.

(d) Spinco has caused, or prior to the Distribution Date shall cause, the Spinco Articles to be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State, whereupon the issued and then outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock (all of which shall be owned by Parent), shall automatically be reclassified into: (i) a number of shares of Spinco Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the effective time of the Spinco Articles and (ii) a number of shares of Spinco Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Class B Common Stock as of the effective time of the Spinco Articles.

(e) Parent will take such action, if any, as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable state and foreign securities and “blue sky” laws to permit the Distribution to be effected in compliance, in all material respects, with such laws.

2.2 Conditions to the Distribution and Spin-Off. The Spin-Off and Distribution are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the Parent Board, or as applicable, a committee thereof, shall have taken all necessary corporate action to establish the Record Date and to declare the dividends in order to effect the Distribution in accordance with the Parent Articles, Parent’s bylaws and the CBCA;

(b) Parent shall have received the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP (“Counsel”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, to the effect that (i) the Restructuring and the Spin-Off should qualify under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code; (ii) no gain or loss should be recognized by Parent upon the distribution of Spinco Common Stock under Sections 355(c)(1) and 361(c) of the Code; and (iii) except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares, if any, no gain or loss should be recognized by, and no amount should be included in the income of, holders of Parent Common Stock upon receipt of the Spinco Common Stock in the Spin-Off under Section 355(a)(1) of the Code (the “Distribution Tax Opinion”);

(c) Parent shall have received a written solvency opinion from a financial advisor, in form and substance acceptable to the Parent Board, regarding the Spin-Off and related transactions, which opinion shall not have been withdrawn or modified;

(d) the Registration Statement on Form 10 with respect to the registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of Spinco Common Stock shall be effective as of the Distribution Date;

(e) the Spinco Common Stock shall have been approved for listing on a NASDAQ market; and

(f) any other regulatory or contractual approvals that the Parent Board or a committee thereof determines to obtain shall have been so obtained and be in full force and effect.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and shall not in any way limit Parent’s right to amend, modify or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1. Any of the foregoing conditions may be waived by the Parent Board and any determination made by the Parent Board prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any condition set forth in this Section 2.2 shall be final and conclusive.

2.3 Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards.

(a) Certain current and former employees, non-employee directors and consultants of Parent and its Subsidiaries have been granted options, restricted stock and/or restricted stock units in respect of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Parent Incentive Plan administered by the Parent Board (collectively, “Awards”). Parent and Spinco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary or appropriate so that Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date are adjusted as set forth in this Section 2.3.

(b) Adoption of the Spinco Incentive Plan. Prior to the Distribution Date, Parent shall cause Spinco to adopt an equity incentive plan substantially similar the Parent Incentive Plan, effective as of the Distribution Date (the “Spinco Incentive Plan”) and shall approve, as the sole shareholder, the adoption of the Spinco Incentive Plan.

(i) Each Parent Option which is outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date (a “Parent Option”) shall, as of the Distribution Date, be converted into an option to purchase Spinco Class A Common Stock in the same proportions as set forth in Section 2.1(b). (a “Spinco Option”) granted under the Spinco Incentive Plan and an adjusted Parent Option (an “Adjusted Parent Option”) such that intrinsic value of the Parent Option immediately prior to the Distribution is allocated between the Spinco Option and the Adjusted Parent Option.

(ii) Except as described herein, all other terms of the Spinco Options and the Adjusted Parent Options (including the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding Parent Options, and this Section 2.3(c) shall be construed and administered so as to avoid the application of the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, as applicable, to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1(a).

(d) Restricted Stock; Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Restricted stock awards granted under the Parent Incentive Plan (“Parent Restricted Stock”) shall participate in the Distribution in the same manner as other outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock. Except as otherwise described herein, shares of Spinco Common Stock received by such holders of Parent Restricted Stock will be subject, in all material respects, to the same terms and conditions (including the vesting terms thereof) as those applicable to such shares of Parent Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Distribution Date (“Spinco Restricted Stock”). Such Spinco Restricted Stock shall be issued under the Spinco Incentive Plan.

(ii) Each holder of a restricted stock unit award granted under the Parent Incentive Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date (a “Parent Restricted Stock Unit Award”) shall receive, as of the Distribution Date, a restricted stock unit award under the Spinco Incentive Plan (a “Spinco Restricted Stock Unit”). The number of Spinco Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock that the holder of Parent Common Stock, equivalent in number to the restricted stock units granted under the Parent Restricted Stock Unit Award, would be entitled in the Distribution had the Parent Restricted Stock Unit Awards represented actual shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole unit. Except as otherwise described herein, the Spinco Restricted Stock Units shall be subject, in all material respects, to the same terms and conditions (including the vesting terms thereof) as those applicable to the related Parent Restricted Stock Unit Awards (as applicable) immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

(e) It is intended that the Spinco Incentive Plan be considered, as to any Spinco Option, Spinco Restricted Stock or Spinco Restricted Stock Unit that is issued as part of the adjustment provisions of this Section 2.3, to be a successor plan to the Parent Incentive Plan pursuant to which the corresponding Award was issued, and Spinco shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations under the Parent Incentive Plan to make the adjustments to the Awards set forth in this Section 2.3.

(f) With respect to Awards adjusted and any equity awards issued as a result of such adjustments (collectively, “Post-Spin Awards”), in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.3, service after the Distribution Date as an employee or non-employee director of Parent, Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be treated as service to Parent and Spinco and their respective Subsidiaries for all purposes under such Post-Spin Awards following the Distribution Date, except, with respect to incentive stock options, to the extent inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations issued thereunder.

(g) From and after the Distribution Date, Spinco Options, Spinco Restricted Stock and Spinco Restricted Stock Units, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Spinco pursuant to the terms of the Spinco Incentive Plan. The obligation to deliver (i) shares of Spinco Common Stock upon the exercise of Spinco Options or (ii) pursuant to Spinco Restricted Stock awards or Spinco Restricted Stock Units shall be the sole obligation of Spinco, and Parent shall have no Liability in respect thereof.

(h) Neither the Distribution nor any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered a termination of service or employment for any director, officer or employee of Parent, Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries for purposes of any Post-Spin Award.

(i) Spinco agrees that, on and after the Distribution Date, it shall use its reasonable efforts to cause to be effective under the Securities Act, on a continuous basis, a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Spinco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Spinco Options.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

(c) The indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 4.1(a) and (b) shall not apply to: (i) any Losses the responsibility for which is expressly covered by a Restructuring Agreement or an Other Agreement; (ii) any Losses incurred by any Spinco Entity pursuant to any contractual obligation (other than this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements or the Other Agreements) existing on or after the Distribution Date between (A) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and (B) Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the other hand; and (iii) any Losses incurred by any Parent Entity pursuant to any contractual obligation (other than this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements or the Other Agreements) existing on or after the Distribution Date between (A) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and (B) Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the other hand.

(d) (i) In connection with any indemnification provided for in this Section 4.1, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will give the Party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) prompt notice whenever it comes to the attention of the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee has suffered or incurred, or may suffer or incur, any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.1, and, if and when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the projected amount of such Losses (which shall not be conclusive as to the amount of such Losses), in each case in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any Action commenced by a third party for which indemnification is being sought (a “Third-Party Claim”), such notice will be given no later than ten business days following receipt by the Indemnitee of written notice of such Third-Party Claim. Failure by any Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor will not affect the rights of such Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee will deliver to the Indemnitor as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five business days after Indemnitee’s receipt, copies of all notices, court papers and other documents received by the Indemnitee relating to any Third-Party Claim.

(ii) After receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(i) with respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor will be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation with respect to such Third-Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to handle and defend such claim, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, upon written notice to the Indemnitee of such election, which notice acknowledges the Indemnitor’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Losses arising out of or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor will not settle any Third-Party Claim that is the subject of indemnification without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, after reasonable notice, the Indemnitor may settle a claim without the Indemnitee’s consent if such settlement (A) makes no admission or acknowledgment of Liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitee, (B) includes a complete release of the Indemnitee and (C) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitee other than the payment of money damages to be borne by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any Action with respect to such Third-Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom (including the filing in the Indemnitee’s name of appropriate cross-claims and counterclaims). The Indemnitee may, at its own cost, participate in any investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnitor and any appeal arising therefrom, including participating in the process with respect to the potential settlement or compromise thereof. If the Indemnitee has been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that conflict with those available to, or that are not available to, the Indemnitor (“Separate Legal Defenses”), or that there may be actual or potential differing or conflicting interests between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee will have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor to handle and defend such Third-Party Claim, provided, that, if such Third-Party Claim can be reasonably separated between those portion(s) for which Separate Legal Defenses are available (“Separable Claims”) and those for which no Separate Legal Defenses are available, the Indemnitee will instead have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor to handle and defend the Separable Claims, and the Indemnitor will not have the right to control the defense or investigation of such Third-Party Claim or such Separable Claims, as the case may be (and, in which latter case, the Indemnitor will have the right to control the defense or investigation of the remaining portion(s) of such Third-Party Claim).

(iii) If, after receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(i) with respect to any Third-Party Claim as to which indemnification is available hereunder, the Indemnitor does not undertake to defend the Indemnitee against such Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnitee timely notice of its election to so defend or otherwise, the Indemnitee may, but will have no obligation to, assume its own defense, at the expense of the Indemnitor (including attorneys’ fees and costs), it being understood that the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for such Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by its assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor will be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnitee;

provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any Action with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further that such consent shall not be required if (i) the Indemnitor had the right under this Section 4.1 to undertake control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, after notice, failed to do so within thirty days of receipt of such notice (or such lesser period as may be required by court proceedings in the event of a litigated matter), or (ii) (A) the Indemnitor does not have the right to control the defense of the entirety of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(ii) or (B) the Indemnitor does not have the right to control the defense of any Separable Claim pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(ii) (in which case such settlement may only apply to such Separable Claims), the Indemnitee provides reasonable notice to Indemnitor of the settlement, and such settlement (1) makes no admission or acknowledgment of Liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitor, (2) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitor and (3) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitor is responsible other than the payment of money damages.

(e) In no event will the Indemnitor be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, consequential, indirect, collateral, incidental or punitive damages, however caused and on any theory of liability arising in any way out of this Agreement, whether or not such Indemnitor was advised of the possibility of any such damages; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not limit a Party’s indemnification obligations for any Losses incurred by an Indemnitee as a result of the assertion of a Third Party Claim.

(f) The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information, and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any Party with respect to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(g) The Indemnitor shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.1 by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnitee of a ▇▇▇▇, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed backup documentation, for any Losses that are the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnitor in good faith disputes the amount of such Losses or whether such Losses are covered by the Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation in which event the Indemnitor shall promptly so notify the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnitee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses for which it is liable hereunder no later than three (3) days following any final determination of the amount of such Losses and the Indemnitor’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment.

(h) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.1 shall, for any reason, be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by and the relative fault of the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand with respect to the matter giving rise to such Losses.

(i) Spinco shall use its best efforts to mitigate any Taxes for which Parent is liable pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(iv) to the extent such Taxes are (i) Transaction Taxes or (ii) other Taxes imposed on or by reason of the Transactions or the failure of the Transactions to qualify for the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

(j) The remedies provided in this Section 4.1 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against an Indemnitor, subject to Section 4.1(e).

(k) The rights and obligations of the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Spinco Indemnified Parties under this Section 4.1 shall survive the Spin-Off.

(l) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred in connection with the enforcement of his, her or its rights under this Section 4.1.

4.2 Mutual Release of Certain Liabilities.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.2(d), effective as of the Distribution Date, Spinco does hereby, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, release and forever discharge each Parent Indemnified Party, from any and all of the Spinco Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4.2(d), effective as of the Distribution Date, Parent does hereby, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, release and forever discharge each Spinco Indemnified Party from any and all of the Parent Retained Liabilities.

(c) The Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that unknown losses or claims exist or might come to exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or both.

(d) For avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements or any Other Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in, or contemplated to continue pursuant to, this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements or any Other Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability that such Person may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements or any Other Agreement for claims brought by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article IV and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of such agreements;

(ii) any unpaid accounts payable or receivable arising from or relating to the sale, provision, or receipt of goods, payment for goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the Ordinary Course of Business by the Parent Entities from the Spinco Entities, or by the Spinco Entities from the Parent Entities; or

(iii) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than an Indemnitee; provided that the Parties agree not to bring suit, or permit any of their Subsidiaries to bring suit, against any Indemnitee with respect to such Liability.

(e) Spinco shall not make, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.2(a). Parent shall not make, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries 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 Spinco Indemnified Party with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.2(b).

4.3 Specific Performance. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the benefits to the other Party of the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement are unique and that the other Party is willing to enter into this Agreement only in reliance that such Party will perform such obligations, and agrees that monetary damages may not afford an adequate remedy for any failure by such Party to perform any of such obligations. Accordingly, subject to Section 2.1(a) and Article VII hereof, each Party hereby agrees that the other Party will have the right to enforce the specific performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and irrevocably waives any requirement for securing or posting of any bond or other undertaking in connection with the obtaining by the other Party of any injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce their rights hereunder.

4.4 Access to Information.

(a) Each Party will provide to the other Party, at any time before or after the Distribution Date, upon written request and promptly after the request therefor (subject in all cases, to any bona fide concerns of attorney-client or work-product privilege that any Party may reasonably have and any restrictions contained in any agreements or contracts to which any Party or its Subsidiaries is a party (it being understood that each of Parent and Spinco will use its reasonable best efforts to provide any such information in a manner that does not result in a violation of a privilege)), any information in its possession or under its control that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party by a foreign or U.S. federal, state or local judicial, regulatory or administrative authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party or its Subsidiaries, (ii) to enable the requesting Party to institute or defend against any action, suit or proceeding in any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local court, (iii) to enable the requesting Party to implement the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreements and the Other Agreements, and (iv) any information in its possession or under its control that reasonably relates to the business, Assets or Liabilities of the other Party.

(b) Any information belonging to a Party that is provided to another Party pursuant to Section 4.4(a) will remain the property of the providing Party. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to take all reasonable efforts to maintain any legal privilege that may attach to any information delivered pursuant to this Section 4.4 or which otherwise comes into the receiving Party’s possession and control pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as granting or conferring license or other rights in any such information.

(c) The Party requesting any information under this Section 4.4 will reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable out of pocket costs, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such information, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party.

4.6 Confidentiality. Each Party will keep confidential for five years following the Distribution Date (or for three years following disclosure to such Party, whichever is longer) except to the extent any Proprietary Information constitutes a trade secret, in which case the confidentiality obligations contained herein shall continue in effect indefinitely to the extent permitted by applicable law, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, members, employees, Affiliates and agents to keep confidential during such period, all Proprietary Information of the other Party, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(a) “Proprietary Information” means any proprietary ideas, plans and information, including information of a technological or business nature, of a Party (in this context, the “Disclosing Party”) (including all trade secrets, intellectual property, data, summaries, reports or mailing lists, in whatever form or medium whatsoever, including oral communications, and however produced or reproduced), that is marked proprietary or confidential, or that bears a marking of like import, or that the Disclosing Party states is to be considered proprietary or confidential, or that a reasonable and prudent person would consider proprietary or confidential under the circumstances of its disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, all information of the types referred to in the immediately preceding sentence to the extent used by Spinco or the Spinco Business or which constitute Spinco Assets on or prior to the Distribution Date will constitute Proprietary Information of Spinco for purposes of this Section 4.6.

(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, information of a Disclosing Party will not constitute Proprietary Information (and the other Party (in this context, the “Receiving Party”) will have no obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto), to the extent such information: (i) is in the public domain other than as a result of disclosure made in breach of this Agreement or breach of any other agreement relating to confidentiality between the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party; (ii) was lawfully acquired by the Disclosing Party from a third party not bound by a confidentiality obligation; (iii) is approved for release by prior written authorization of the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is disclosed in order to comply with a judicial order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or to comply with the laws or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Receiving Party, in which event the Receiving Party will give prior written notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure as soon as or to the extent practicable and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in using reasonable efforts to disclose the least amount of such information required and to obtain an appropriate protective order or equivalent, and provided that the information will continue to be Proprietary Information to the extent it is covered by a protective order or equivalent or is not so disclosed.

4.7 Notices Regarding Transferred Assets. Any transferor of an Asset or Liability in the Restructuring that receives a notice or other communication from any third party, or that otherwise becomes aware of any fact or circumstance, after the Restructuring, relating to such Asset or Liability, will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly forward the notice or other communication to the transferee thereof or give notice to such transferee of such fact or circumstance of which it has become aware. The Parties will cause their respective Subsidiaries to comply with this Section 4.7.

4.8 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE RESTRUCTURING AGREEMENTS OR THE OTHER AGREEMENTS, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

With respect to any outstanding checks issued by Parent Entities, Spinco Entities, or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution Date, such outstanding checks shall be honored following the Distribution Date by the entity owning the account on which the check is drawn. As between Parent Entities and Spinco Entities, all payments and reimbursements received after the Distribution Date by either Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) in respect or satisfaction of a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, as promptly as commercially practicable or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, upon receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay over, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to pay over, to the other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement.

4.10 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a) General. Neither Parent nor Spinco shall, nor shall Parent or Spinco permit, any Parent Entity or any Spinco Entity, respectively, to take or fail to take, as applicable, any action that constitutes a Disqualifying Action described in the definitions of Parent Disqualifying Action and Spinco Disqualifying Action, respectively.

(b) Restrictions. Prior to the first day following the second anniversary of the Distribution (the “Restriction Period”), Spinco:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct (as defined in Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations) of the Spinco Business, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code;

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate (including any action that is a liquidation for federal income Tax purposes);

(iii) shall not (A) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Spinco has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (B) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48 and Revenue Procedure 2013-32), (C) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (D) merge or consolidate with any other Person, or (E) take any other action or actions (including any

action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Materials) which in the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this Section 4.10(b)(iii)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Spinco or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions; and

(iv) shall not, and shall not permit Spinco or any Spinco Entity, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for federal income Tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Entities. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (B) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (C) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, or (D) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Spinco or any Spinco Entity. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Entities sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Spinco and the Spinco Entities as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4.10(b)(iv), a merger of Spinco or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Spinco shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Spinco or such Subsidiary.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 4.10(b), during the Restriction Period, Spinco may proceed with any of the actions or transactions described therein, if (i) Spinco shall have provided to Parent an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or (ii) Parent shall have waived in writing the requirement to obtain such opinion. In determining whether such opinion is satisfactory, Parent shall exercise its discretion, in good faith, solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions or representations used as a basis for the ruling or opinion and the views on the substantive merits.

(d) Certain Issuances of Capital Stock. If Spinco proposes to enter into any Section 4.10(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Spinco has the right to prohibit any Section 4.10(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 4.10(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the Restriction Period, Spinco shall provide Parent no later than ten (10) days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to any Section 4.10(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of Spinco capital stock to be issued in such transaction).

(e) Tax Reporting. Each of Parent and Spinco covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any income Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions. Parent and Spinco shall cooperate as each requests of the other in preparing, executing and filing all Tax Returns and other documentation on a timely basis as may be required to comply with the

provisions of applicable Law with respect to the Transactions and all Tax periods to which the Transactions relate, and shall cooperate in good faith in responding to and otherwise handling any audit, contest, Tax Controversy or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (including unclaimed or escheatable property) Transactions and all Tax periods to which the Transactions relate, including, without limitation, by promptly providing such party with all notices and other information received from the applicable taxing authority and not entering into any settlement or otherwise taking any material action with respect to such audit, contest or other proceeding without the prior written consent of such party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
