Section 4.15 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Return Preparation.

(i) To the extent not filed prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (each, a “Pre-Closing Period Tax Return”). All such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, except as reasonably approved by Buyer. Buyer shall allow Seller access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns and shall cooperate fully with the Seller in the preparation of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns; provided, that no employee of Buyer, any Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be required to sign any such Tax Return without, at the request of such employee, being fully indemnified by Seller for any liability incurred as a consequence of signing such Tax Return. With respect to each Pre-Closing Period Tax Return filed after the Closing Date, no later than thirty days prior to the due date (taking into account any valid extensions thereof) (“Due Date”) for the filing of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, the Seller shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to the Buyer for its review drafts of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (together with all related work papers). Within ten days following Buyer’s receipt of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, Buyer shall have the right to object to such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (by written notice to the Seller). If Buyer does not object by written notice to the Seller within such time period, such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 4.15(a)(i). If Buyer objects to such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, it shall notify the Seller of such disputed item (or items) (in such written notice) and the basis for its objection and the Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable. If the Buyer and Seller have not reached agreement regarding such dispute, the dispute shall be presented to the Independent Accounting Firm, whose determination shall be binding upon both Buyer and Seller, provided, however, that (i) such determination shall be limited to whether the disputed item is consistent with past practices, if applicable, and (ii) the Buyer

55

and Seller shall require the Independent Accounting Firm to make a determination within ten (10) days but in no event later than five (5) days prior to the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return. With respect to each such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, no later than two (2) days prior to the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, (x) the Seller shall submit to the Buyer final drafts of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and (y) the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the liability for Taxes that are shown to be due and payable on the face of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return. The Buyer shall cause the applicable Company or Subsidiary (as the case may be) to file each Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and pay to the applicable Tax authority all amounts shown to be due and payable on the face of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return.

(ii) The Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for all Straddle Periods (each, a “Straddle Period Tax Return”). All such Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, except as required by applicable Law. With respect to each Straddle Period Tax Return, no later than thirty days prior to the Due Date for the filing of such Straddle Period Tax Return, the Buyer shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to the Seller for its review drafts of such Straddle Period Tax Return (together with all related work papers), and shall notify Seller of Buyer’s calculation of the Taxes of such Straddle Period allocated to the Interim Period of such Straddle Period (in accordance with this Agreement). Within ten days following Seller’s receipt of such Straddle Period Tax Return (and the calculation of the Taxes allocated to the Interim Period of the Straddle Period), Seller shall have the right to object to such Straddle Period Tax Return or calculation (by written notice to the Buyer). If Seller does not object by written notice to the Buyer within such time period, such Straddle Period Tax Return and calculation shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 4.15(a)(ii). If Seller objects to such Straddle Period Tax Return and/or calculation of the Taxes allocated to the Interim Period of the Straddle Period (in accordance with this Agreement), it shall notify the Buyer of such disputed item (or items) (in such written notice) and the basis for its objection and the Seller and Buyer shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable. If the Seller and Buyer have not reached agreement regarding such dispute, the dispute shall be presented to the Independent Accounting Firm, whose determination shall be binding upon both Seller and Buyer, provided, however, that the Seller and Buyer shall require the Independent Accounting Firm to make a determination within ten (10) days but in no event later than five (5) days prior to the Due Date of such Straddle Period Tax Return. With respect to each Straddle Period Tax Return, no later than two (2) days prior to the Due Date of such Straddle Period Tax Return, Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Seller’s portion of the liability for Taxes of such Straddle Period (that are shown to be due and payable on the face of such Straddle Period Tax Return) that are allocable to the

56

Interim Period in accordance with this Agreement. The Buyer shall cause the applicable Company or Subsidiary (as the case may be) to file each Straddle Period Tax Return and pay to the applicable Tax authority all amounts shown to be due and payable on the face of such Straddle Period Tax Return.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 4.15(a), provided, however, that all costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid fifty percent by the Seller and fifty percent by the Buyer.

(b)      Tax Refunds. The Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller (a) all refunds of Taxes paid by the Companies or their Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that are received by the Companies or their Subsidiaries after the Closing, and (b) a portion of all refunds of Taxes paid by the Companies or their Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period (such portion to be allocated consistent with the principles set forth in this Agreement) that are received by the Companies or their Subsidiaries after the Closing, in each case, (i) net of any Taxes imposed on or attributable to such refund and (ii) other than refunds attributable to a carryback of net operating losses attributable to periods beginning after the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(c)      Tax Matters Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including in the case of the Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of or attributable to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including in the case of the Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records.

57

(d)      Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(i) Seller and Buyer agree that an election under Section 338 of the Code (or similar provision of the Law of any state or other Taxing jurisdiction) shall not be made with respect to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that, Buyer and Seller shall jointly make a timely and effective election provided for by Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the United States Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (“Treasury Regulations”) and any comparable election under state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the acquisition by Buyer (which, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, qualifies as a “qualified stock purchase” by Buyer) of the stock of each of the direct and indirect domestic wholly-owned corporations being acquired pursuant to this Agreement (each, an “Election” and, collectively, the “Elections”). Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate, including filing such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required, to effect and preserve timely Elections in accordance with the provisions of Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury Regulations (and any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law) or any successor provisions. Unless required by a final, non-appealable, decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, report the acquisition by Buyer of the stock of such domestic corporations consistently with the Elections made and shall take no position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, any proceeding before any Tax authority or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Internal Revenue Service or other Taxing authority challenges Seller’s treatment of any acquisition of a wholly-owned domestic corporate Subsidiary of CMG as a “qualified stock purchase” (within the meaning of Section 338(d)(3) of the Code), Buyer shall (i) reimburse Seller for its out of pocket costs in contesting such challenge, or (ii) assume and control the defense of such challenge at its own costs and expense, and with participation by Seller.

(ii) Unless required by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, (i) be bound by the Elections, the Tax Allocation Statement and Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement (each as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.15(e)) for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) prepare and file their respective Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Elections and such allocation statements and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Elections or any such allocation statements in any Tax Return, any proceeding before any Tax

58

authority or otherwise. In the event that any of the allocations determined pursuant to Section 4.15(e) is disputed by any Tax authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party concerning resolution of the dispute. Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide to Seller information reasonably determined by Buyer to enable Seller to support the Tax filing position that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the direct and indirect acquisition of any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries qualifies as a “qualified stock purchase” (within the meaning of Section 338 of the Code).

(e)      Closing Consideration Allocation.

(i) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Equity of the Companies, as promptly as possible after Closing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a statement (a “Tax Allocation Statement”) specifying the allocation of the purchase price for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as adjusted pursuant to payments made between Buyer and Seller pursuant to this Agreement) among the assets held (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) by CMG and CIH (solely for purposes of this Section 4.15(e)(i), without regard to the Elections) and the covenants of Seller contained in Section 4.16. Within fifteen business days following the receipt of such Tax Allocation Statement, Seller shall have the right to object to such statement (by written notice to Buyer). If Seller does not object by written notice to the Tax Allocation Statement within such time period, such statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that such objection shall only be that the Tax Allocation Statement is materially inconsistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(i). If Seller objects to a Tax Allocation Statement presented by Buyer, it shall notify the Buyer of such disputed item (or items) (in such written notice) and the basis for its objection and Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute within the thirty day period thereafter. If, within thirty days of Seller’s delivery of a notice of objection to a Tax Allocation Statement, the parties have not reached an agreement regarding such allocations, the dispute shall be presented to the Independent Accounting Firm that will determine which parties’ proposed allocation is more consistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(i) and such allocation shall then become the final “Tax Allocation Statement”. The parties shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to make a determination within thirty days but in no event later than five days prior to the Due Date of any Tax Return for which such allocation would be relevant. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid fifty percent by Seller and fifty percent by Buyer. In the event any Closing Consideration adjustment occurs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall provide Seller a revised Tax Allocation Statement consistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(i) and the principles of this Section 4.15(e)(i) shall apply to each such revised statement.

59

(ii) In connection with an Election, as promptly as practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a statement (a “Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement”) specifying the proposed manner in which the “aggregate deemed sales price”, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-4, shall be allocated among the assets of each such Subsidiary for which an Election is made, which allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 338(b) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations and shall be consistent with the Tax Allocation Statement determined pursuant to Section 4.15(e)(i) hereof. Within fifteen business days following the receipt of such Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement, Seller shall have the right to object that such statement is not consistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(ii) (by written notice to Buyer). If Seller does not object by written notice to a Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement within such time period, such statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement shall be subject to adjustment upon and as a result of any Closing Consideration adjustment pursuant to this Agreement. If Seller objects to a Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement presented by Buyer, it shall notify the Buyer of such disputed item (or items) (in such written notice) and the basis for its objection and Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute for the thirty day period thereafter. If, within thirty days of Seller’s delivery of a notice of objection to a Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement, the parties have not reached an agreement regarding such allocations, the dispute shall be presented to the Independent Accounting Firm that will determine which of the parties’ proposed allocations are more consistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(ii), and such allocation shall become the final Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement. The parties shall endeavor to cause the accounting firm to make a determination within thirty days but in no event later than five days prior to the date the Internal Revenue Service Forms 8023 and 8883 are required to be filed under applicable Law. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid fifty percent by Seller and fifty percent by Buyer. In the event any Closing Consideration adjustment occurs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall provide Seller a revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Statement consistent with Schedule 4.15(e)(ii) and the principles of this Section 4.15(e)(ii) shall apply to each such revised statement.

(f)      Limitations on Actions Affecting Pre-Closing Taxes. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries) shall, without the prior written consent of Seller, (i) make or change any Tax election (other than the Elections) with respect to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries applicable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (ii) amend, file or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period of any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries except as contemplated by Section 4.15(a), and (iii) take any other action that relates or is attributable to or that affects any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case,

60

that results in any increased Tax liability of any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries (or Seller or any of its Affiliates) (or a reduction in a refund) or reduction in a Tax asset of the Seller, its Affiliates or any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, “Competitive Business” does not include any entity or business engaged in or any activity, product, or service related to the administration of

61

points-based or other loyalty programs including any such points-based or other loyalty program developed and marketed, directly or indirectly, by any of Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) solely to the extent used for their own consumers (including individual consumers of Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ franchisees) as an outsourcer, service provider or other similar arrangement and for online travel agencies and airlines.

(d)      For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries and any Person (or any of its Affiliates) that acquires control of any of such entities or that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of any of such entities or merges with Buyer in a “merger of equals,” shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in the non-membership based, direct to consumer online travel distribution business, including through private label or affiliate relationships, in a manner which utilizes any content or booking or packaging engine of Seller or its Subsidiaries made available by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries and is competitive to Seller’s online travel businesses, including without limitation, Orbitz, CheapTickets, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Flairview, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

With respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(x), the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not exceed 90% of the aggregate amount of all such Losses. With respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(xi), the aggregate amount of Section 7.1(a)(xi) Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not exceed 80% of the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of all such Section 7.1(a)(xi) Losses or (B) the Grid Cap, as then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses (x) resulting from any breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement that relates or is attributable to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries not having historic Tax attributes (including basis of assets, net operating loss carryovers and credit carryovers), (y) resulting from any breach of representation or warranty (other than the representation set forth in Section 3.1(l)(ix)) set forth in this Agreement relating or attributable to Taxes or the indemnities set forth in Sections 7.1(a)(iv) and (vi), other than liabilities for Pre-Closing Taxes and the Taxes described in Section 7.1(a)(vi), and related out of pocket costs and expenses, and (z) related or attributable to Taxes imposed on any of the Parent, Buyer, the Companies and/or their Affiliates as a result of a breach by the Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies or their Subsidiaries) of their obligations, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Obligations of Acquirors.

(a)      If the Closing occurs, subject to the terms of this Article VII and Section 8.14, Acquirors, jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, RCI Europe, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors and officers (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party by reason of (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties (in each case, when made) of any of the Acquirors in this Agreement; (ii) any breach in any material respect of any of the covenants or agreements of any of the Acquirors in this Agreement; (iii) any Business Litigation Matter or Business Contract Matter; (iv) any use by Parent, Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Cendant Marks; (v) any Liability of Seller arising solely because it is an Affiliate of the Companies and their Subsidiaries or any Liability of Seller arising solely because it was an Affiliate of the Companies and their Subsidiaries.

70

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a)      In the event that any Action is commenced by a third party involving a claim for which a party required to provide indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable to a party entitled to indemnification (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder (an “Asserted Liability”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Asserted Liability (the “Claim Notice”); provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty days from its receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choosing, to defend against such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend and protect the interests of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Asserted Liability, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Party prior to any significant decision, strategy or action in relation thereto, to the extent affecting non-monetary interests of the Indemnified Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to any settlement unless such settlement (x) requires only the payment of money and (y) provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control, pay or settle any Asserted Liability which the Indemnifying Party shall have undertaken to defend so long as the Indemnified Party shall also waive any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the investigation, defense and

71

settlement thereof. This Section 7.3(a) does not apply to any matter referred to in Section 7.3(b), (c), (d), (e), or (m).

(b)      With respect to the litigation set forth on Section 7.1(a)(x) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, from the date hereof until September 30, 2006, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control such litigation (it being understood that (i) Seller shall undertake to defend such litigation and shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend and protect the interests of Buyer with respect to such litigation, (ii) during the time set forth in this Section 7.3(b), Seller shall consult with Buyer prior to any significant decision, strategy or action in relation to such litigation; and (iii) Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, consent to any settlement of such litigation). Buyer shall cooperate fully with Seller and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement of such litigation.

(c)      With respect to the litigation set forth on Section 7.1(a)(x) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, following the expiration of the date in Section 7.3(b), Buyer shall have the exclusive right to control such litigation (it being understood that (i) Buyer shall undertake to defend such litigation and shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend and protect the interests of Seller with respect to such litigation, (ii) during the time set forth in this Section 7.3(c), Buyer shall consult with Seller prior to any significant decision, strategy or action in relation to such litigation, to the extent affecting monetary interests of Seller; and (iii) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, consent to any settlement of such litigation). Seller shall cooperate fully with Buyer and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement of such litigation.

(d)      With respect to the litigation set forth on Sections 7.1(a)(xi) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, at all times, Buyer shall have the exclusive right to control such litigation (it being understood that (i) Buyer shall consult with Seller prior to any significant decision, strategy or action in relation to such litigation, to the extent affecting monetary interests of Seller; and (ii) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, consent to any monetary settlement of such litigation). Seller shall cooperate fully with Buyer and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement of such litigation.

(e)      With respect to the Shared Litigation, at all times, Buyer shall have the exclusive right to control such litigation.

(f)      If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake within the Notice Period to defend against such Asserted Liability, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the investigation and defense and may settle or take any other actions the Indemnified Party deems reasonably advisable without in any way waiving or otherwise affecting the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnified Party and the

72

Indemnifying Party agree to make available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all information and documents available to them which relate to such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Companies and their respective employees also agree to render to each other such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand.

(g)      In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recoverable by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses, (ii) any prior or subsequent recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses and (iii) any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses. To the extent that a Tax benefit is actually realized within three years following the Due Date of the applicable Tax Return that first takes into account the deduction, loss or other Tax attribute generated as a result of the Loss(es) than gave rise to the indemnity payment, then no later than 30 days after the applicable Tax Return has been filed for the applicable period, the indemnified party shall pay to the indemnifying party in immediately available funds the amount of the Tax benefit that is actually realized as a result of the Losses that gave rise to the indemnification (i.e., the reduction in Taxes that would have been otherwise due and payable but for the incurrence of the Losses that gave rise to the indemnification).

(h)      Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i), and Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not be made after the Survival Expiration Date. Claims for indemnity pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) and Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall not be made after the expiration of the applicable covenant as determined in accordance with Section 8.4(b). Claims for indemnification under the other sub-sections of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall not be made after the thirtieth day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account valid extensions) of the subject matter of the claim that gave rise to the Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any timely filed claim for indemnity for which notice has been given prior to the end of the applicable survival period shall survive until the claim has been finally resolved.

(i)      To the extent that Seller makes any payment pursuant to this Article VII in respect of Losses for which Buyer or any of its Affiliates have a right to recover against a third party (including, without limitation, an insurance company), Seller shall be subrogated to the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to seek and obtain recovery from such third party; provided, however, that if Seller shall be prohibited from such subrogation, Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall seek recovery from such third party on Seller’s behalf and pay any such recovery to Seller.

(j)      Subject to Section 8.12, the remedies provided in this Article VII shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties, from and after the Closing Date, with respect to this Agreement.

73

(k)      For all Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement and other payments made between the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable Law and to use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that, to the extent necessary in order to secure such treatment under applicable Law, all such payments are made from the actual selling entity to the actual purchasing entity of the Shares or Equity Interests to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that if the Internal Revenue Service or any other Tax authority challenges the treatment of the receipt of any indemnity or other payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration, the indemnified party shall use its reasonable best efforts to uphold the characterization of any such indemnity payment as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration, and shall keep the other party reasonably informed of all developments. To the extent that the treatment of the indemnification payment as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration is finally determined to be erroneous, any indemnity payment hereunder shall, subject to Section 7.3(g) and to the final sentence of this Section 7.3(k), be increased to take into account the amount of Taxes resulting from the receipt of such indemnification payment. If a party to this Agreement assigns the benefit of this Agreement, the other relevant parties shall only be liable to take into account Taxes resulting from the receipt of an indemnification payment to the extent that those other parties would have been liable to take into account Taxes of an equivalent amount if no such assignment had occurred.

(l)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sections 7.3 (a) and (b) shall not apply to any Tax Claim (as defined herein).

(m)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the terms of this paragraph (m) and the Grid, Seller agrees to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any Losses incurred by reason of the following (the “Shared Losses”): (A) any breach or failure to be true and correct of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(i), without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications therein, which occurs after the date of this Agreement if the facts and circumstances giving rise to such breach or failure to be true and correct relate to the Business and constitute a breach or violation of Section 3.1(p); (B) any breach or failure to be true and correct of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(p), without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications therein, to the extent relating to the Business and (C) the litigation set forth in Section 7.3(m) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Such indemnification obligations shall be subject to the following:

(i) Seller and Buyer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the other to the extent necessary to give effect to, the allocations reflected in the grid set forth on Section 7.3(m)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Grid”). The amount set forth in Bracket F of the Grid represents the maximum amount to which allocations of liability between Seller and Buyer shall apply and above which Buyer shall have one hundred percent (100%) of the

74

liability for Shared Losses (as adjusted pursuant to the following sentence, the “Grid Cap”). The Grid Cap shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the aggregate amount paid or payable by both Buyer and Seller in respect of Section 7.1(a)(xi) Losses, whether paid prior to or after the Closing Date. An example of such reduction is set forth in Section 7.3(m)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(ii) The amounts set forth on the Grid shall be separate from and shall not be affected by any amounts that may be applied against the Basket or the Ceiling pursuant to this Article VII.

(iii) Counsel of record to the Companies and their Subsidiaries (“Counsel of Record”) in any lawsuit that could lead to Shared Losses and for which indemnity is available hereunder (any such lawsuits, together with any lawsuit arising from such lawsuits, the “Shared Litigation”) shall communicate and consult with all parties in connection with the defense of such lawsuit.

(iv) Seller shall be free to retain at its own expense counsel to monitor the lawsuit (“Seller Counsel”). Counsel of Record shall communicate and consult with any Seller Counsel.

(v) Counsel of Record and Seller Counsel shall make available to each other and other such counsel and any party confidential oral information and memoranda or other documents related to the defense of the Shared Litigation (“Defense Materials”) to the extent that they deem it prudent and consistent with the objectives of the joint defense provided for herein.

(vi) The Defense Materials obtained by counsel for any party shall remain confidential and shall be protected from disclosure to any third party except as provided herein.

(n)      Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(m) shall not be made after April 15, 2007. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any timely filed claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 7.3(m) for which notice has been given prior to April 15, 2007 shall survive until the claim has been finally resolved.

Section 7.4 Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a)      If a notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim of any of the Companies or their subsidiaries (a “Tax Claim”) shall be delivered or sent to or commenced or initiated against any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries by any Tax authority with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for which Buyer may reasonably be entitled to indemnification from Seller pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in

75

writing of the Tax Claim, and shall include a copy of the relevant Tax Claim notice and other related information; provided, that the failure to so notify Seller shall only reduce its indemnity obligations hereunder to the extent it is actually prejudiced thereby.

(b)      Tax Claims relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. With respect to Tax Claims of or relating to Taxes of any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller may, upon written notice to Buyer, assume and control the defense of such Tax Claim at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel and may (i) pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Tax authority, or (ii) either pay (A) the Tax claimed and ▇▇▇ for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or (B) contest, settle or compromise the Tax Claim in any permissible manner, and Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to, cooperate with Seller in pursuing such Tax Claim and shall provide to Seller (and its employees and other agents) applicable powers of attorney. If Seller elects to assume the defense of any such Tax Claim, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.4, (i) Seller shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any such Tax Claim without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such settlement could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of Buyer (or any of its Affiliates including the Companies or their Subsidiaries) for any Tax period beginning on or after the Closing date (for this purpose, any reduction of Tax attributes relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Interim Period shall be ignored), (ii) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim (including promptly forwarding copies to Buyer of any related correspondence and shall use reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with any opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Seller sends such correspondence to any Tax authority), and (iii) Buyer may at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel, participate (including participation in any relevant meetings and conference calls) in (but not to control) the defense of such Tax Claim. In connection with any Tax Claim of or relating to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that Seller has not elected to control pursuant to this Section 7.4, such contest shall be controlled by Buyer and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and its Affiliates in pursuing such contest, provided, however, that none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies or their Subsidiaries) shall enter into any settlement with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided, further, that Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall keep Seller informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim (including promptly forwarding copies to Seller of any related correspondence and shall use reasonable efforts to provide Seller with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Buyer sends such correspondence to any Tax authority) and Seller, at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel, shall have the right to participate in (including in any relevant meetings and conference calls) but not control the defense of such Tax Claims.

76

(c)      Tax Claims relating to Straddle Periods. Buyer and Seller shall jointly control (at each party’s own cost and expense) all proceedings in connection with any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period. The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in pursuing any such Tax Claim and neither Buyer nor Seller shall (or shall permit any of their Affiliates to) settle a Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

ARTICLE VIII
