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

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

(d) Special Payment Rules Applicable to Tax Benefits Allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.2(h)(ii).

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Splitco Indemnity Payment is required to be made, Distributing will reasonably estimate the Tax Benefits for which it expects Splitco will be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.1(a) for the Indemnity Payment Tax Year as a result of the Tax Items allocated to Splitco under Section 2.2(h)(ii) (the “Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount”). Distributing will notify Splitco of the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount no later than two business days prior to the date the applicable Splitco Indemnity Payment is required to be paid by Splitco under the Indemnification Agreement. Distributing and Splitco agree that, in accordance with the provisions of the Indemnification Agreement, the amount of the relevant Splitco Indemnity Payment will be reduced by the applicable Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount. For all purposes of this Agreement other than Section 4.6, such reduction shall be treated as if Distributing had paid the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount to Splitco at the time the applicable Splitco Indemnity Payment is made.

(ii) When the Tax Benefits resulting from the Tax Items allocated to Splitco under Section 2.2(h)(ii) related to a Splitco Indemnity Payment are considered to be used in accordance with Section 4.3(c) hereof for the relevant Indemnity Payment Tax Year, Distributing shall determine the amount of the Tax Benefits for which Splitco is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.1(a) for such Tax Year (the “Applicable 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount”). Within five business days following the use of such Tax Benefits for the Indemnity Payment Tax Year, (x) Distributing shall pay to Splitco the amount by which the Applicable 2046

Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount exceeds the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount related to such Splitco Indemnity Payment, and (y) Splitco shall pay to Distributing the amount by which the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount exceeds the Applicable 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount related to such Splitco Indemnity Payment. Payments related to such Tax Benefits for the applicable Indemnity Payment Tax Year may be further redetermined and adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5.

(iii) Tax Benefits resulting from the Tax Items allocated to Splitco under Section 2.2(h)(ii) related to a Splitco Indemnity Payment that are considered to be used in accordance with Section 4.3(c) in a Tax Year other than the Indemnity Payment Tax Year shall be determined and paid in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 4.3(d).

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

4.5 Initial Determinations and Subsequent Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(d), the initial determination of the amount of any payment that one Company is required to make to another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the Tax Authority. The amounts paid under this Agreement shall be redetermined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination shall be made, as appropriate, if as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority or for any other reason (x) additional Taxes to which such determination relates are subsequently paid, (y) a Tax Refund or a Tax Benefit relating to such Taxes is received or used, or (z) the amount or character of any Tax Item is adjusted or redetermined. Each payment required by the immediately preceding sentence (i) as a result of a payment of additional Taxes will be due five business days after the date on which the additional Taxes were paid or, if later, five business days after the date of a request from the other Company for the payment, (ii) as a result of the receipt or use of a Tax Refund or Tax Benefit will be due five business days after the Tax Refund or Tax Benefit was received or used, or (iii) as a result of an adjustment or redetermination of the amount or character of a Tax Item will be due five business days after the date on which the final action resulting in such adjustment or redetermination is taken by a Tax Authority or either Company or any of their Subsidiaries. If a payment is made as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority which does not conclude the matter, further adjusting payments will be made, as appropriate, to reflect the outcome of subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings.

4.6 Tax Consequences of Payments. For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement between the parties as a capital contribution or a distribution,

as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, for all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount related to any Splitco Indemnity Payment shall be treated as a reduction of the applicable Splitco Indemnity Payment under the Indemnification Agreement.

SECTION 6. Tax Records.

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

Distributing shall make available, and cause its Subsidiaries to make available, to members of the Splitco Group for inspection and copying the portion of any Tax Records in their possession that relates to a Pre-Distribution Period and which is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Tax Return by a member of the Splitco Group or any of their Affiliates or with respect to any audit, litigation or other proceeding by a Tax Authority relating to such return.

6.3 Confidentiality. Each party hereby agrees that it will hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence all records and information prepared and shared by and among the parties in carrying out the intent

of this Agreement, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes or unless disclosure is compelled by a governmental authority. Information and documents of one party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall not be deemed to be confidential for purposes of this Section 6.3 to the extent such information or document (i) is previously known to or in the possession of the other party or parties (the “Receiving Party”) and is not otherwise subject to a requirement to be kept confidential, (ii) becomes publicly available by means other than unauthorized disclosure under this Agreement by the Receiving Party or (iii) is received from a third party without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party after reasonable diligence, a duty of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party.

7.6 Control of Tax Contests Generally.

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

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

Splitco shall assist Distributing, and Distributing shall assist Splitco, in taking any commercially reasonable actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax Authority. The indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 7.7.

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

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