(b) From and after the Operational Separation Date (or a date after the Operational Separation Date and on or before the Distribution Date with respect to Belgium and the Swiss International Retirement Guarantee), Enterprise shall retain or assume, as applicable, and Enterprise hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course, all Assets and Liabilities for all eligible Enterprise Employees and Former Employees under any defined benefit pension plan maintained by any HPI Entity or Enterprise Entity as of immediately prior to the Operational Separation Date for such employees in the countries listed in Section 1.3(a); provided, however, that this Section 1.3(b) shall not apply with respect to (i) Former Employees eligible to participate in such plans in Spain and (ii) Enterprise Employees who were employed in legal entity TW10 who are eligible to participate in such plans in Taiwan immediately prior to the Operational Separation Date and who are Taiwan citizens or married to Taiwan citizens (“ETW10 PQ Employees”).
(c) From and after the Operational Separation Date, HP shall retain or assume, as applicable, and HP hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course, all Assets and Liabilities for all eligible HPI Employees under any defined benefit pension plan maintained by any HPI Entity or Enterprise Entity as of immediately prior to the Operational Separation Date for such employees in the countries listed in Section 1.3(a). HP shall also retain or assume, as applicable, and HP hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course, all Assets and Liabilities for all eligible Former Employees in Spain under any defined benefit pension plan maintained by any HPI Entity or Enterprise Entity as of immediately prior to the Operational Separation Date.
(d) Effective as of the Operational Separation Date, Enterprise has caused the Assets relating to the HPI Employees eligible to participate in the applicable defined benefit pension plans in the countries (other than Spain) listed in Section 1.3(a) to be transferred to the applicable HP defined benefit pension plan. The amount(s) to be transferred for funded plans shall be based on the funded status under US GAAP, or such other basis as required by local law or agreed by the Parties; no amounts shall be transferred with respect to unfunded plans; provided, however, that the treatment of Assets relating to HPI Employees eligible to participate in the applicable defined benefit pension plans in Taiwan shall be governed by Section 1.3(g).
(e) Effective as of the Operational Separation Date, HP has caused the Assets relating to the Enterprise Employees eligible to participate in the applicable defined benefit pension plans in Spain to be transferred to the applicable Enterprise defined benefit pension plan. The amount(s) to be transferred for funded plans shall be based on the funded status under US GAAP, or such other basis as required by local law or agreed by the Parties; no amounts shall be transferred with respect to unfunded plans.
(f) Effective as of the Operational Separation Date, the relevant HPI entity shall pay to the relevant Enterprise Entity an amount, as reasonably estimated by the Parties, equal to the funded Projected Benefit Obligation (as defined under US GAAP) for the ETW10 PQ Employees under the HP Taiwan defined benefit pension plan as of the Operational Separation Date. Upon the retirement of any ETW10 PQ Employee from an Enterprise Entity, such Enterprise Entity shall provide such employee with a retirement benefit equal to (i) the benefit to which such employee would have been entitled under the HP Taiwan defined benefit

pension plan, less (ii) the benefit to which such employee is entitled under the Enterprise Taiwan defined contribution plan.

This payment is required due to the inability of pension Assets to be transferred from the pension plan in Taiwan that is remaining with Enterprise and for which a special approval was received to form a new HP pension plan for HPI Employees who had previously participated in this plan.
(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that in some of the countries listed in Section 1.3(a), there are some pension plans with no participants who are HPI Employees and therefore no Assets or Liabilities will be transferred to an HPI entity with respect to such plans.
1.4 To the extent not addressed in this Agreement, or if the Parties agree to other treatment, the Parties will work together in good faith to effectuate the appropriate allocation and transfer of Assets and Liabilities of the relevant defined benefit pension plans.
