Livent shall be entitled to any Tax Benefits (including, in the case of any refund received, any interest thereon actually received) received by any member of the Parent Group or any member of the Lithium Group after the Distribution Date with respect to any Tax allocated to a member of the Lithium Group under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts allocated to Livent pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)), other than any Tax Benefits resulting from a Livent Carried Item, which shall be governed by Section 6(c).

(c)    A Company receiving (or realizing) a Tax Benefit to which another Company is entitled hereunder (a “Tax Benefit Recipient”) shall pay over the amount of such Tax Benefit (including interest received from the relevant Taxing Authority, but net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such Tax Benefit and any other reasonable costs) within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof (or from the due date for payment of any Tax reduced thereby); provided, however, that the other Company, upon the request of such Tax Benefit Recipient, shall repay the amount paid to the other Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event that, as a result of a subsequent Final Determination, a Tax Benefit that gave rise to such payment is subsequently disallowed.

in each case, if such transaction would be reasonably likely to (i) generate earnings and profits of the Foreign Livent Subsidiary (as determined under the Code) that is taxed at a rate materially lower than the statutory rate applicable to the Foreign Livent Subsidiary in the applicable jurisdiction, (ii) give rise to any income to Parent or the Parent Group under Sections 951 or 951A of the Code or (iii) would otherwise adversely impact the amount of Parent or the Parent Group’s associated deemed-paid foreign tax credits within the meaning of Section 902 of the Code.

(vii)    Livent shall, or shall cause the relevant Lithium Subsidiary to, enter into new gain recognition agreements with respect to the Existing GRAs pursuant to Section 1.367(a)-8 of the Treasury Regulations so as to render an exception set forth in Section 1.367(a)-8(k) available with respect to any “triggering event” arising by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each such new gain recognition agreement shall, to the extent consistent with the corresponding Existing GRA, contain an election under Section 1.367(a)-8(c)(2)(vi) to report any gain recognized under Section 1.367(a)-8(c)(1)(i) in the taxable year during which a gain recognition event occurs.

(c)    Livent Covenants Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b), Livent and the other members of the Lithium Group may take any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the covenants contained in (b), if either: (i) Livent notifies Parent of its proposal to take such action and Livent and Parent obtain a ruling from the IRS to the effect that such action will not affect the Intended Tax-Free Treatment; provided, that Livent agrees in writing to bear any expenses associated with obtaining such a ruling and; provided, further, that the Lithium Group shall not be relieved of any liability under Section 11(a) of this Agreement by reason of seeking or having obtained such a ruling; or (ii) Livent notifies Parent of its proposal to take such action and obtains an unqualified opinion of counsel (A) from a Tax

17

advisor recognized as an expert in federal income Tax matters and acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion, (B) on which Parent may rely and (C) to the effect that such action “will” not affect the Intended Tax-Free Treatment; provided, that the Lithium Group shall not be relieved of any liability under Section 11(a) of this Agreement by reason of having obtained such an opinion.

Section 10.    Protective Section 336(e) Elections.

(a)    Section 336(e) Election. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.336-2(h)(1)(i) and 1.336-2(j), Parent and Livent agree that Parent shall make a timely protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder for each member of the Lithium Group that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes with respect to the Distribution (a “Section 336(e) Election”). It is intended that a Section 336(e) Election will have no effect unless the Distribution is a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336(e)-1(b)(6), by reason of the application of Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(ii).

(b)    Parent TRA. If any failure of the Intended Tax-Free Treatment of the Contribution, the Distribution or the Separation Payment results in Taxes (including any Taxes attributable to the Section 336(e) Election) that are not allocated to Livent pursuant to Section 3, (i) Parent shall be entitled to periodic payments from Livent equal to the product of (x) 85% of the Tax savings arising from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election and (y) the percentage of Taxes arising from such failure that are not allocated to Livent pursuant to Section 3, and (ii) the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a tax receivable agreement to govern the calculation of such payments; provided, that any such tax savings in clause (i) shall be determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to the step-up in tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any carryforwards). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may, at its sole discretion, waive its right to receive any and all payments pursuant to this Section 10(b).

Section 11.    Indemnities.

(a)    Livent Indemnity to Parent. Livent and each other member of the Lithium Group shall jointly and severally indemnify Parent and the other members of the Parent Group against, and hold them harmless, without duplication, from:

(i)    any Tax liability allocated to Livent pursuant to Section 3;

(ii)    any Tax liability and Tax-Related Losses attributable to a breach, after the Distribution Effective Time, by Livent or any other member of the Lithium Group of any representation or covenant contained in this Agreement.

(iii)    any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable to a Livent Disqualifying Action (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes and Tax-Related Losses resulting from any action for which the conditions set forth in Section 9(c) are satisfied); and

18

(iv)    all liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Tax liability or damage described in (i), (ii) or (iii), including those incurred in the contest in good faith in appropriate proceedings relating to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any such Tax, liability or damage.

(b)    Parent Indemnity to Livent. Except in the case of any liabilities described in Section 11(a), Parent and each other member of the Parent Group will jointly and severally indemnify Livent and the other members of the Lithium Group against, and hold them harmless, without duplication, from:

(i)    any Tax liability allocated to Parent pursuant to Section 3; and

(ii)    all liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Tax liability or damage described in (i), including those incurred in the contest in good faith in appropriate proceedings relating to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any such Tax, liability or damage;

(c)    Discharge of Indemnity. Livent, Parent and the members of their respective Groups shall discharge their obligations under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) hereof, respectively, by paying the relevant amount in accordance with Section 12, within 30 Business Days of demand therefor or, to the extent such amount is required to be paid to a Taxing Authority prior to the expiration of such 30 Business Days, at least 10 Business Days prior to the date by which the demanding party is required to pay the related Tax liability. Any such demand shall include a statement showing the amount due under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any member of the Lithium Group or any member of the Parent Group disputes in good faith the fact or the amount of its obligation under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), then no payment of the amount in dispute shall be required until any such good faith dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 20 hereof; provided, however, that any amount not paid within 30 Business Days of demand therefor shall bear interest as provided in Section 12.

(d)    Tax Benefits. If an indemnification obligation of any Indemnifying party under this Section 11 arises in respect of an adjustment that makes allowable to an Indemnitee any Tax Benefit which would not, but for such adjustment, be allowable, then any such indemnification obligation shall be an amount equal to (i) the amount otherwise due but for this Section 11(d), minus (ii) the reduction in actual cash Taxes payable by the Indemnitee in the taxable year such indemnification obligation arises, determined on a “with and without” basis.

Section 12.    Payments.

(a)    Timing. All payments to be made under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any payments to a Taxing Authority described herein) shall be made in immediately available funds. Except as otherwise provided, all such payments will be due 30

19

Business Days after the receipt of notice of such payment or, where no notice is required, 30 Business Days after the fixing of liability or the resolution of a dispute (the “Due Date”). Payments shall be deemed made when received. Any payment that is not made on or before the Due Date shall bear interest at the rate equal to the “prime” rate as published on such Due Date in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the date of payment. With respect to any payment required to be made under this Agreement, Parent has the right to designate, by written notice to Livent, which member of the Parent Group will make or receive such payment.

(b)    Treatment of Payments. To the extent permitted by Applicable Tax Law, any payment made by Parent or any member of the Parent Group to Livent or any member of the Lithium Group, or by Livent or any member of the Lithium Group to Parent or any member of the Parent Group, pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document that relates to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Distribution Date shall be treated by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Livent to Parent, or a capital contribution from Parent to Livent, as the case may be; provided, however, that any payment made pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall instead be treated as if the party required to make a payment of received amounts had received such amounts as agent for the other party; provided further that any payment made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 of the Transition Services Agreement shall instead be treated as a payment for services. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a party’s treatment of a payment described in this Section 12(b) should be other than as required herein, such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest such assertion in a manner consistent with Section 15 of this Agreement.

(c)    No Duplicative Payment. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement shall not result in a duplicative payment of any amount required to be paid under the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

Section 13.    Guarantees. Parent or Livent, as the case may be, shall guarantee or otherwise perform the obligations of each other member of the Parent Group or the Lithium Group, respectively, under this Agreement.

Section 14.    Communication and Cooperation.

(a)    Consult and Cooperate. Parent and Livent shall consult and cooperate (and shall cause each other member of their respective Groups to consult and cooperate) fully at such time and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with all matters subject to this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation:

(i)    the retention, and provision on reasonable request, of any and all information including all books, records, documentation or other information pertaining to Tax matters relating to the Lithium Group (or, in the case of any Tax Return of the Parent Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the Lithium Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement), any necessary explanations of information, and access to personnel, until one year after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation thereof);

20

(ii)    the execution of any document that may be necessary (including to give effect to Section 15) or helpful in connection with any required Tax Return or in connection with any audit, proceeding, suit or action; and

(iii)    the use of the parties’ commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any documentation from a Governmental Authority or a third party that may be necessary or helpful in connection with the foregoing.

(b)    Provide Information. Except as set forth in Section 15, Parent and Livent shall keep each other reasonably informed with respect to any material development relating to the matters subject to this Agreement.

(c)    Tax Attribute Matters. Parent and Livent shall promptly advise each other with respect to any proposed Tax adjustments that are the subject of an audit or investigation, or are the subject of any proceeding or litigation, and that may affect any Tax liability or any Tax Attribute (including, but not limited to, basis in an asset or the amount of earnings and profits) of any member of the Lithium Group or any member of the Parent Group, respectively.

(d)    Confidentiality and Privileged Information. Any information or documents provided under this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of required Tax Returns or in connection with any audit, proceeding, suit or action. Without limiting the foregoing (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement), (i) no member of the Parent Group or Lithium Group, respectively, shall be required to provide any member of the Lithium Group or Parent Group, respectively, or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures other than information or procedures that relate solely to Livent, the business or assets of any member of the Lithium Group, or matters for which Livent or Parent Group, respectively, has an obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall any member of the Parent Group or the Lithium Group, respectively, be required to provide any member of the Lithium Group or Parent Group, respectively, or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any privilege. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Parent or Livent, respectively, determines that the provision of any information to any member of the Lithium Group or Parent Group, respectively, could be commercially detrimental or violate any law or agreement to which Parent or Livent, respectively, is bound, Parent or Livent, respectively, shall not be required to comply with the foregoing terms of this Section 14(d) except to the extent that it is able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to do so while avoiding such harm or consequence (and shall promptly provide notice to Parent or Livent, to the extent such access to or copies of any information is provided to a Person other than a member of the Parent Group or Lithium Group (as applicable)).

21

Section 15.    Audits and Contest.

(a)    Notice. Each of Parent or Livent shall promptly notify the other in writing upon the receipt of any notice of Tax Proceeding from the relevant Taxing Authority that may affect the liability of any member of the Lithium Group or the Parent Group, respectively, for Taxes under Applicable Law or this Agreement; provided, that a party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way by a failure to so notify, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure

(b)    Parent Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 15(d), Parent shall have the right to control all matters relating to any Tax Return, or any Tax Proceeding, with respect to any Tax matters of a Combined Group or any member of a Combined Group (as such). Parent shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any Tax matter described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Proceeding relating to such a Tax matter is reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnity obligation of Livent under Section 11 hereof, (i) Parent shall keep Livent informed of all material developments and events relating to any such Tax Proceeding described in this proviso and (ii) at its own cost and expense, Livent shall have the right to participate in (but not to control) the defense of any such Tax Proceeding.

(c)    Livent Assumption of Control; Non-Distribution Taxes. If Parent determines that the resolution of any matter pursuant to a Tax Proceeding (other than a Tax Proceeding relating to Distribution Taxes) is reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the Lithium Group with respect to any Post-Distribution Period, Parent, in its sole discretion, may permit Livent to elect to assume control over disposition of such matter at Livent’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that if Livent so elects, it will (i) be responsible for the payment of any liability arising from the disposition of such matter notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and (ii) indemnify the Parent Group for any increase in a liability and any reduction of a Tax asset of the Parent Group arising from such matter.

(d)    Livent Participation; Distribution Taxes. Parent shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding relating to Distribution Taxes; provided, that Parent shall keep Livent fully informed of all material developments and shall permit Livent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the matter.

Section 16.    Costs and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and other related professional fees and disbursements. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Transaction Documents, all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of Livent or any member of the Lithium Group in any Pre-Distribution Period shall be the responsibility of Parent and shall be assumed in full by Parent.

Section 17.    Effectiveness; Termination and Survival. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, as between Parent and Livent, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Distribution. All rights and obligations arising hereunder shall survive until they are fully effectuated or performed; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this

22

Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall remain in effect and its provisions shall survive for one year after the full period of all applicable statutes of limitation (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation thereof) and, with respect to any claim hereunder initiated prior to the end of such period, until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved. This agreement shall terminate without any further action at any time before the Distribution upon termination of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 18.    Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute within 30 days. In the event that such dispute is not resolved, upon written notice by a party after such 30-day period, the matter shall be referred to a U.S. Tax counsel or other Tax advisor of recognized national standing (the “Tax Arbiter”) that will be jointly chosen by Parent and Livent; provided, however, that, if Parent and Livent do not agree on the selection of the Tax Arbiter after five (5) days of good faith negotiation, the Tax Arbiter shall consist of a panel of three U.S. Tax counsel or other Tax advisor of recognized national standing with one member chosen by Parent, one member chosen by Livent, and a third member chosen by mutual agreement of the other members within the following ten (10)-day period. Each decision of a panel Tax Arbiter shall be made by majority vote of the members. The Tax Arbiter may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the dispute. The Tax Arbiter shall furnish written notice to the parties to the dispute of its resolution of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days after acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Arbiter shall be binding on the parties, and the parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement such resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Arbiter shall be shared equally by the parties to the dispute. If the parties are unable to find a Tax Arbiter willing to adjudicate the dispute in question and whom the parties, acting in good faith, find acceptable, then the dispute shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 9.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement .

Section 19.    Authorization, Etc. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants that it has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, that this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such party, that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such party, and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such party does not contravene or conflict with any provision or law or of its charter or bylaws or any agreement, instrument or order binding on such party.

Section 20.    Change in Tax Law. Any reference to a provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations or any other Applicable Tax Law shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations or other Applicable Tax Law.

Section 21.    Principles. This Agreement is intended to calculate and allocate certain Tax liabilities of the members of the Lithium Group and the members of the Parent Group to Livent and Parent (and their respective Groups), and any situation or circumstance concerning such calculation and allocation that is not specifically contemplated by this Agreement shall be dealt with in a manner consistent with the underlying principles of calculation and allocation in this Agreement.

23

Section 22.    Interpretation; Incorporation of Terms by Reference. This Agreement is an “Ancillary Agreement” as such term is defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement and shall be interpreted in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement in all respects; provided that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control in all respects. Sections 9.04, 9.05, 9.06, 9.07 (other than 9.07(d)), 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, 9.15, 9.16 and 9.17 (subject to the immediately preceding sentence) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall each be incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein.
