(ii) From and after the Closing, in connection with the preparation and delivery of the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculations of the CAM Tangible Book Value as set forth therein and during the period of any dispute contemplated by this Section 3.1, Xxxx Xxxxx shall, and shall cause the Xxxx Mason Sellers and CAM Subsidiaries to, and Citigroup shall, and shall cause the Citigroup Sellers and the PC/CM Subsidiaries to, (A) provide the other Party and the other Party’s authorized representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books and records, facilities and employees and (B) cooperate in good faith with the other Party and its authorized representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information reasonably necessary in or reasonably related to the preparation of the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculations of CAM Tangible Book Value as set forth therein.

During the 30 days after the delivery of a dispute notice to Citigroup, Xxxx Xxxxx and Citigroup shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute and finally determine the amounts, as applicable, of CAM Tangible Book Value as set forth in the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. If at the end of such 30-day period, Xxxx Xxxxx and Citigroup have failed to reach agreement with respect to such dispute, the matter shall be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not the principal independent auditor for either Citigroup or Xxxx Xxxxx and is otherwise neutral and impartial; provided, however,

that if Citigroup and Xxxx Xxxxx are unable to select such other accounting firm within 45 days after delivery of a dispute notice to Citigroup, either party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint, within 20 Business Days from the date of such request, an independent accounting firm meeting the requirements set forth above or a neutral and impartial certified public accountant with significant relevant experience.

Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Each of Xxxx Xxxxx and Citigroup shall bear all the fees and costs incurred by it in connection with this arbitration, except that all fees and expenses relating to the foregoing work by the Accountant shall be borne by Xxxx Xxxxx and Citigroup in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and be included in the Accountant’s written report.

The Accountant shall deliver to Xxxx Xxxxx and Citigroup, as promptly as practicable after its appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter and its determination of the amount of PC/CM Tangible Book Value and the capital ratio set forth in the PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

(c) Each Party shall make available to the other Party its and its accountants’ work papers, schedules and other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by such Party to

enable such Party to verify the calculations of PC/CM Tangible Book Value and the capital ratio set forth in the PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements.

(b) From and after the Closing, except in connection with the activities contemplated by the Related Agreements or as provided therein, neither Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of Xxxx Xxxxx, the CAM Subsidiaries and, in the case of Citigroup, the PC/CM Subsidiaries) and its Affiliates’ personnel (including each of their accountants, legal advisers and other professional advisers) not to, disclose to any other Person or otherwise use any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that a Party (or any of its Affiliates) may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent required pursuant to the Requirements of Law, in any report, statement, testimony or other submission to any Governmental Authority or (ii) in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to Citigroup or Xxxx Xxxxx, as the case may be, in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding; provided further that if either Party or its Affiliates is,

No such advice shall be deemed

to amend or modify any representation or warranty of the Party disclosing such information or affect any rights or remedies available to the Party receiving such information in connection with any breach of any representation or warranty; provided that a breach of this Section 6.4 shall not be considered for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII or give rise to a right of termination under Article IX if the underlying breach or breaches with respect to which the other Party failed to give notice would not result in the failure of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII nor result in the right of such non-breaching Party to terminate this Agreement under Article IX, as the case may be.

In connection with effecting any such filing or obtaining any such Permit or Consent necessary to consummate the Transactions, each of Citigroup and Xxxx Xxxxx shall, subject to the Requirements of Law (i) permit counsel for the other Party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority and (ii) provide counsel for the other Party with copies of all filings made by such Party and all written correspondence between such Party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Authority and any other written information supplied by such Party and such Party’s Subsidiaries to, or received from, a Governmental Authority; provided, however, that materials may be redacted or withheld (A) to the extent that they concern the valuation of the CAM Business or the PC/CM Business, as the case may be, or alternatives to the Transactions and (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements.

Section 6.6 Client and Customer Consents.

(a) With respect to each CAM Advisory Contract (other than any SMA Contract) for which the Consent of the applicable CAM Advisory Client (other than a CAM Registered Investment Company or a CAM Non-Registered Fund) to the assignment or deemed assignment of such CAM Advisory Contract as a result of the Transactions is required pursuant to the Requirements of Law and/or by the terms of such CAM Advisory Contract, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, Citigroup shall, or shall cause the Citigroup Sellers or one of their respective Affiliates to, send a written notice (a “CAM Notice”) informing each such CAM Advisory Client of the Transactions and requesting consent to the assignment or deemed assignment of the applicable CAM Advisory Contract(s). The Parties agree that Consent for any such CAM Advisory Contract shall be deemed given for all purposes of this Agreement as follows: (i) for those such CAM Advisory Contracts set forth on Annex F, upon receipt of written Consent prior to the Closing Date, (ii) for all other such CAM Advisory Contracts other than SMA Contracts, (A) if written Consent is required pursuant to the Requirements of Law or the applicable CAM Advisory Contract, upon receipt of written Consent prior to the Closing Date or (B) if Consent other than written Consent is sufficient under Requirements of Law and the applicable CAM Advisory Contract, (x) upon receipt of a written Consent prior to the Closing Date or (y) if no such written Consent is received, if 45 days shall have passed since the sending of a CAM Negative Consent Notice (which notice must be sent at least 30 days after the initial CAM Notice was sent) and (iii) for those CAM Advisory Contracts that are SMA Contracts, if 45 days shall have passed since the sending of a CAM Negative Consent Notice; provided, however, that, any CAM Advisory Client who has informed any CAM Subsidiary whether orally or in writing of its intention to terminate its CAM Advisory Contract prior to the Closing shall be deemed not to have provided its Consent for any purpose under this Agreement unless, as of the Closing Date, such notice shall have been rescinded or withdrawn.

(b) (i) For each CAM Registered Investment Company, Citigroup shall, and shall cause the Citigroup Sellers or their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain in accordance with Section 15 of the Investment Company Act, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the approval by the board of directors or trustees of such CAM Registered Investment Company (“RIC Board Approval”) of a new CAM Advisory Contract with such CAM Subsidiary (effective as of the Closing) on terms, taken as a whole, that are no less favorable to the applicable CAM Subsidiary than the terms of such existing CAM Advisory Contract with such CAM Registered Investment Company. To the extent RIC Board Approval has been obtained with respect to a new CAM Advisory Contract in accordance with the

immediately preceding sentence, except in the case of any CAM Registered Investment Company for which no shareholder approval is required pursuant to the Requirements of Law, Citigroup shall cause the Citigroup Sellers to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain in accordance with Section 15 of the Investment Company Act, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the approval by the shareholders of such CAM Registered Investment Company (except to the extent such shareholder approval is not required by Requirements of Law for the effectiveness of such new CAM Advisory Contract) of such new CAM Advisory Contract described in the immediately preceding sentence. All proxy and related materials distributed in connection with the approvals described in this paragraph shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Xxxx Xxxxx, and Xxxx Xxxxx shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all such materials within a reasonable period of time prior to distribution and filing with any Governmental Authority. The Parties agree that Consent for any CAM Advisory Contract with a CAM Registered Investment Company shall be deemed given for all purposes of this Agreement if the applicable CAM Subsidiary shall have entered into a new CAM Advisory Contract with such CAM Registered Investment Company in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (b) and such CAM Advisory Contract has been approved by shareholders in accordance with Section 15 of the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that any CAM Registered Investment Company that has informed any CAM Subsidiary whether orally or in writing of its intention to terminate its CAM Advisory Contract prior to the Closing shall be deemed not to have provided its Consent for any purpose under this Agreement unless, as of the Closing Date, such notice shall have been rescinded or withdrawn. Xxxx Xxxxx hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, request or propose to any board of directors or trustees of any CAM Registered Investment Company to take any action in furtherance of the merger (whether effected by way of a merger or reorganization) of any CAM Registered Investment Company with or into any other Person (including any Registered Investment Company sponsored by Xxxx Xxxxx or one of its Affiliates) on or prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Citigroup.

(ii) Citigroup shall not, and shall cause each of the CAM Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates to not, amend or revise any CAM Advisory Contract to reduce or waive any fee or reimburse any expenses payable under such CAM Advisory Contract or offer or promise to any CAM Advisory Client any reduced fee, fee waiver or expense reimbursement in connection with obtaining such CAM Advisory Clients’ Consent under Section 6.6(a) or (b) without the prior written consent of Xxxx Xxxxx.

(iii) Citigroup shall cause the Citigroup Sellers and their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain in accordance with Section 15 of the Investment Company Act, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, RIC Board Approval of a new RIC Distribution Contract between the CAM Registered Investment Company and such CAM Subsidiary or such other Subsidiary of Xxxx Xxxxx as Xxxx Xxxxx may designate (effective as of the Closing) on substantially the same terms as the terms of the existing RIC Distribution Contract with such CAM Registered Investment Company.

(iv) For each CAM Registered Investment Company, Citigroup shall cause the Citigroup Sellers and their respective Affiliates to, with respect to Administration Contracts and other Contracts with Affiliates of the Citigroup Sellers that would terminate

(c) The Parties further agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 6.5), the provision of this Section 6.6 shall govern the rights and obligations of Citigroup and the CAM Subsidiaries, on one hand, and Xxxx Xxxxx, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter hereof and no other section of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any additional requirements on any Party or its Affiliates. Citigroup and the CAM Subsidiaries, on one hand, and Xxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates, on the other hand, covenant and agree that any information that is supplied, sent or given, or included in any document supplied, sent or given, by any of them to any CAM Advisory Client for the purposes of obtaining the requisite Consent for any CAM Advisory Contract or, if applicable, informing any CAM Advisory Client of the Transactions will be true, complete and accurate in all material respects and, at the time such information is sent or given, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 6.7 Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act.

(a) Xxxx Xxxxx acknowledges that Citigroup has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the benefits and protections provided by Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act. Xxxx Xxxxx shall cause the Xxxx Mason Sellers to not take, and shall cause each of them to use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates not to take, any action not contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements that would, to the Knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxx, have the effect, directly and indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Transactions, and each of them shall not fail to take, and, after the Closing, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of their respective Affiliates to not fail to take, any action if the failure to take such action would, to the Knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxx, have the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Transactions. In that regard, Xxxx Xxxxx shall conduct its business and shall, subject to applicable fiduciary duties to the CAM Registered Investment Companies, use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its respective Affiliates to conduct its business so as to assure that, insofar as within the control of Xxxx Xxxxx or its respective Affiliates:

(i) for a period of three years after the Closing, at least 75% of the members of the boards of directors or trustees of each CAM Registered Investment Company are not (A) “interested persons” of the investment adviser of such CAM Registered Investment Company after the Closing or (B) “interested persons” of the investment adviser of such CAM Registered Investment Company immediately prior to the Closing; and

(ii) for a period of two years after the Closing, there shall not be imposed on any CAM Registered Investment Company an “unfair burden” as a result of the Transactions, or any terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto;

provided, however, that if Xxxx Xxxxx or any of its Affiliates obtain an order from the SEC exempting it from the provisions of Section 15(f) while still maintaining the “safe harbor” provided by Section 15(f), then this covenant shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to permit Xxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates to act in a manner consistent with such SEC exemptive order.

(b) For a period of three years from the Closing, neither Xxxx Xxxxx nor any of its Affiliates shall voluntarily engage in any transaction that would constitute an “assignment” to a third party of any CAM Advisory Contract with any CAM Registered Investment Company currently managed by any CAM Subsidiary to which Xxxx Xxxxx or any such Affiliate is a party, without first obtaining a covenant in all material respects the same as that contained in this Section 6.7; provided that the period of time that has elapsed from Closing to the time of such assignment shall be reduced from the time periods referenced in (i) and (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 6.7 are intended only for the benefit of the Parties and for no other Person. The terms used in quotations in this Section 6.7 shall have the meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act.

(c) Citigroup shall not take, and shall cause each of the Citigroup Sellers to use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates not to take, any action not contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements that, to the Knowledge of Citigroup, would have the effect, directly and indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Transactions, and each of them shall not fail to take, and, after the Closing, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of their respective Affiliates to not fail to take, any action if the failure to take such action would, to the Knowledge of Citigroup, have the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Transactions. In that regard, Citigroup and its Affiliates shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act with respect to each of the CAM Registered Investment Companies, including the requirement that no “unfair burden” (as defined in Section 15(f)(1)(B) of the Investment Company Act) be imposed on any of the CAM Registered Investment Companies.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall, subject to applicable fiduciary duties to the CAM Registered Investment Companies, use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to assure that, insofar as with the control of Citigroup Sellers or their respective Affiliates, at least 75% of members of the board of directors or trustees of each CAM Registered Investment Company are not “interested persons” of the investment adviser of such CAM Registered Investment Company after the Closing or “interested persons” of the investment adviser of such CAM Registered Investment Company immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 6.8 Further Assurances.

(a) After the Closing Date, each of Citigroup and Xxxx Xxxxx shall (a) execute and deliver at the reasonable request of the other Party such additional documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to give effect to this Agreement and the Transactions and (b) provide whatever documents or other evidence of ownership as may be reasonably requested by (i) Xxxx Xxxxx to confirm ownership of the CAM Transferred Shares and the assets transferred to it pursuant to Section 6.13 or (ii) Citigroup to confirm its ownership of the PC/CM Transferred Shares and the assets transferred to it pursuant to Section 6.13.

(b) The Parties acknowledge the risk that certain CAM Advisory Contracts may be terminated as a result of the Transactions and agree to an adjustment to the consideration payable by Xxxx Xxxxx for the CAM Transferred Shares which could following the nine-month anniversary of the Closing result in the principal amount of the Xxxx Xxxxx Note being increased by up to $300,000,000, depending on certain specified CAM Advisory Contracts not being terminated, all as more fully set forth in Section 6.8(b) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter.

(c) Subject to any Requirements of Law, Citigroup shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee of any existing unit investment trust which is sponsored by Citigroup or one of its Affiliates or for whom Citigroup or one of its Affiliates acts as depositor to appoint Xxxx Xxxxx as successor depositor to Citigroup of each such unit investment trust. From and after the date hereof, Xxxx Xxxxx shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, breach or otherwise violate (or cause Xxxx Xxxxx Limited to breach or otherwise violate) any of the provision of any Consultancy Services Agreement to which Xxxx Xxxxx Limited is a party.

(d) (i) In the event the terms of any CAM Lease requires the consent of any third-party landlord to the consummation of the Transactions and, after using commercially reasonable efforts, CAM is unable to obtain the consent of such third-party landlord prior to Closing, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to develop an appropriate arrangement designed to convey to Xxxx Xxxxx, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the economic benefits, other rights and associated Liabilities arising from the leasehold interest that would otherwise have been provided to Xxxx Xxxxx had such consent been obtained. Xxxx Xxxxx shall reasonably cooperate with Citigroup’s efforts to obtain any such consents.

(ii) In the event the terms of any PC/CM Lease requires the consent of any third-party landlord to the consummation of the Transactions and, after using commercially reasonable, Xxxx Xxxxx is unable to obtain the consent of such third-party landlord prior to Closing, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to develop an appropriate arrangement designed to convey to Citigroup, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the economic benefits, other rights and associated Liabilities arising from the leasehold interest that would otherwise have been provided to Citigroup had such consent been obtained. Citigroup shall reasonably cooperate with Xxxx Xxxxx’x efforts to obtain any such consents.

Such estoppel certificates shall be dated not earlier than 90 days prior to Closing and shall be in such form as Xxxx Xxxxx shall reasonably request, provided that the form of such landlord estoppel certificates shall be subject to the terms of the applicable CAM Lease. In no event shall the failure of a third-party landlord to deliver a landlord estoppel certificate in accordance with the

terms of this clause constitute a failure of any condition to Xxxx Xxxxx’x obligation to close in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2.

(iv) Xxxx Xxxxx will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to Closing, landlord estoppel certificates from third-party landlords under no more than ten (10) PC/CM Leases (as such PC/CM Leases shall be designated by Citigroup). Such estoppel certificates shall be dated not earlier than 90 days prior to Closing and shall be in such form as Citigroup shall reasonably request, provided that the form of such landlord estoppel certificates shall be subject to the terms of the applicable PC/CM Lease. In no event shall the failure of a third-party landlord to deliver a landlord estoppel certificate in accordance with the terms of this clause constitute a failure of any condition to Citigroup’s obligation to close in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3.

(v) If after Closing, the tenant under any CAM Lease receives any refund from the applicable landlord or is required to pay to the applicable landlord any amount under such CAM Lease, which such refund or obligation to make such payment, as applicable, accrued prior to Closing, then, in such case, such refund shall be paid to CAM or CAM shall reimburse PC/CM for the applicable payment (as applicable).

(vi) If after Closing, the tenant under any PC/CM Lease receives any refund from the applicable landlord or is required to pay to the applicable landlord any amount under such PC/CM Lease, which such refund or obligation to make such payment, as applicable, accrued prior to Closing, then, in such case, such refund shall be paid to Xxxx Xxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxx shall reimburse Citigroup for the applicable payment (as applicable).

If Xxxx Xxxxx is unable to effect such a substitution with respect to any Citigroup Guaranty after using its reasonable best efforts to do so, Xxxx Xxxxx shall, reimburse and hold harmless the relevant Citigroup Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the CAM Subsidiaries) with respect to the obligations covered by each of the Citigroup Guaranties for which Xxxx Xxxxx does not effect such substitution and shall pay, or cause to be paid, any amounts due thereunder on demand, such that no Citigroup Seller or its Affiliates (other than the CAM Subsidiaries) shall from and after the Closing incur any cost, liability or expense whatsoever arising from or in connection with the Citigroup Guaranties.

Section 6.13 Restructurings.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall cause the consummation of the transactions and actions contemplated by Exhibit H (such transactions and actions, the “CAM Restructuring”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Trademark which includes the terms “CITI,” “XXXXX XXXXXX,” “SALOMON,” “CSSB,” “SB,” “Uncommon Values,” “Uncommon Value” or “TRAVELERS” or any variation thereof or the Arc, Blue Wave or Umbrella design (the “Citigroup Principal Marks”) shall be owned by any CAM Transferred Subsidiary following the CAM Restructuring.

Section 6.14 CAM Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, to the extent permitted under Requirement of Law and regulatory authority, Citigroup shall take all reasonable actions necessary such that all the CAM Business Employees and only the CAM Business Employees shall be employed by a CAM Subsidiary; provided, however, that Citigroup may cause the transfer of employment of any CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee to any Subsidiary of Citigroup other than a CAM Subsidiary (any such employee who is so transferred, a “CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee”). No later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each CAM Business Employee employed in the United States (a “U.S. CAM Business Employee”), other than any U.S. CAM Business Employee employed by a CAM Subsidiary and any CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee, on terms and conditions such that the termination by Citigroup or any of its Affiliates of such employee’s employment will not entitle such employee to severance under Appendix C of the plan attached hereto as Section 6.14(a) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter (the “CAM Severance Plan”). In addition, no later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each CAM Business Employee employed outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee”), other than any Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee employed by a CAM Subsidiary and any CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee, on terms and conditions which replicate (to the extent (i) required by applicable local Requirement of Law and (ii) practicable if Citigroup shall not have supplied to Xxxx Xxxxx the information described in Section 6.14(m) hereof) the terms and conditions in effect with respect to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, Xxxx Xxxxx may make its offer of employment contingent on (i) the CAM Business Employee consenting to, cooperating with, and satisfying Xxxx Xxxxx’x standard new-employee on-boarding process, including background checks, fingerprinting and drug testing; (ii) if applicable, the CAM Business Employee providing evidence that complies with the Immigration and Reform Control Act of

1986 that he or she is eligible for employment; and (iii) the CAM Business Employee executing Xxxx Xxxxx’x standard employment application, receipt and acknowledgement of Xxxx Xxxxx’x employee handbook (which includes, among other things, Xxxx Xxxxx’x Code of Conduct and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy) and FCRA Release as required by Xxxx Xxxxx. Any CAM Business Employee who fails to comply with any of such requirements is hereinafter referred to as an “Excluded CAM Business Employee.” Each CAM Business Employee who either accepts such offer of employment (other than an Excluded CAM Business Employee) or who is employed by the CAM Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date is referred to herein as a “CAM Continuing Business Employee.” Subject to Section 6.14(b), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit the ability of Xxxx Xxxxx or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any CAM Continuing Business Employee.

(b) If any CAM Business Employee who does not become a CAM Continuing Business Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Excluded CAM Business Employee or any CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) becomes entitled to severance, redundancy or other similar types of payments or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Transactions (including salary paid in lieu of notice required by the WARN Act as a result of or in connection with the Transactions), Xxxx Xxxxx shall be responsible (or shall reimburse Citigroup) for any such payments or benefits; provided, however, that Xxxx Xxxxx shall not be responsible for any such payments or benefits provided to any individual not employed by a CAM Subsidiary who receives an offer of employment from Xxxx Xxxxx or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.14(a). For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall provide (to the extent practicable in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code) to each CAM Continuing Business Employee whose employment is terminated by Xxxx Xxxxx following the Closing Date in a manner that would entitle such CAM Continuing Business Employee to severance payments and benefits under the CAM Severance Plan (a “CAM Qualifying Termination”), severance payments and benefits not less favorable than the greater of the severance payments and benefits that would have been provided to such CAM Continuing Business Employee under the severance provisions described in Schedule 6.15(a)(ii) of the Xxxx Xxxxx Disclosure Letter and the CAM Severance Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, taking into account all service with Xxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date plus all service recognized by Citigroup or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or offer employment to any CAM Business Employee (including, but not limited to, Excluded CAM Business Employees); provided that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit Citigroup or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or offering employment to persons (i) who respond to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically directed only to CAM Business Employees (and nothing shall prohibit the making of any such solicitation or advertisement), (ii) who are referred to Citigroup by search firms, employment agencies or other similar entities, provided that such entities have been advised of the restrictions contained in this Agreement and have not been specifically instructed by Citigroup to solicit the CAM Business Employees, (iii) who incur a CAM Qualifying Termination, (iv) who are CAM Non-Continuing Business Employees and (v) who are CAM Continuing Business Employees who

have been notified in writing by Xxxx Xxxxx or one of its Affiliates that their employment will be terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (“CAM Transitional Business Employees”). No offer of employment by Citigroup or one its Affiliates to any CAM Transitional Business Employee shall be effective prior to the employee’s last scheduled day of employment as specified in the notice referred to in the previous sentence. Xxxx Xxxxx shall, no later than 90 days following the date hereof, provide to Citigroup a list of those CAM Business Employees whom Xxxx Xxxxx has determined it does not intend to continue to employ following the Closing Date (each, a “CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee”).

(d) From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the U.S. CAM Business Employees who are also CAM Continuing Business Employees, as a group, compensation and benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Xxxx Xxxxx; provided, however, that the determination of whether such compensation and benefits are no less favorable shall not take into account (i) any defined benefit pension plan and (ii) retiree medical benefits. From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee who is also a CAM Continuing Business Employee, base pay and benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Effective as of the Closing, Xxxx Xxxxx shall (i) use reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to CAM Continuing Business Employees under any health and welfare plan of Xxxx Xxxxx or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding welfare plan in which any such CAM Continuing Business Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) use reasonable efforts to cause to be provided to each CAM Continuing Business Employee credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing, in respect of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any welfare plans of Xxxx Xxxxx or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing and (iii) cause to be provided to each CAM Continuing Business Employee credit for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and amount of benefits), for all service recognized by Citigroup or its Affiliates under the corresponding CAM Benefit Plan, under each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Xxxx Xxxxx or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall the CAM Continuing Business Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(f) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.15(d), as of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall cause each CAM Continuing Business Employee to be credited under the Health Care Flexible Spending Account Plan of Xxxx Xxxxx or any Affiliate of Xxxx Xxxxx (the “Xxxx Xxxxx FSA”) with amounts available for reimbursement between the Closing Date and the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs equal to such amounts as

were credited under the Health Care Flexible Spending Account Plan of Citigroup or any Affiliate of Citigroup (the “Citigroup FSA”) with respect to such CAM Continuing Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Xxxx Xxxxx shall give effect under Xxxx Xxxxx’x FSA to elections made by the CAM Continuing Business Employees with respect to the Citigroup’s FSA in respect of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(g) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.15(d), as of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall cause each CAM Continuing Business Employee to be credited under the Dependent Care Spending Account Plan of Xxxx Xxxxx or any Affiliate of Xxxx Xxxxx (the “Xxxx Xxxxx DCAP”) with amounts available for reimbursement between the Closing Date and the last day of the year in which the Closing Date occurs equal to such amounts as were credited under the Dependent Care Spending Account Plan of Citigroup or any Affiliate of Citigroup (the “Citigroup DCAP”) with respect to such CAM Continuing Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Xxxx Xxxxx shall give effect under the Xxxx Xxxxx DCAP to elections made by the CAM Continuing Business Employees with respect to the Citigroup DCAP in respect of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(h) Effective as of the Closing Date, no CAM Continuing Business Employee shall actively participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, CAM Continuing Business Employees who participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan (the “CAM 401(k) Participants”) shall immediately be 100% vested in their individual account balances under the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Following the Closing Date, such account balances may be transferred by the CAM 401(k) Participants to the Xxxx Xxxxx 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the “Xxxx Xxxxx 401(k) Plan”) in a rollover contribution. Prior to the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall, to the extent necessary, amend the Xxxx Xxxxx 401(k) Plan to the extent necessary to enable CAM 401(k) Participants to make rollover contributions to the Xxxx Xxxxx 401(k) Plan, which, only in the case of a CAM 401(k) Participant who rolls over his or her account balance within 90 days following the Closing Date, may include any outstanding loans from the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall fully vest each CAM Continuing Business Employee in his or her accrued benefit under the Citigroup Pension Plan.

(i) Citigroup shall cause all CAM Continuing Business Employees who participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to receive a pro rata matching contribution, at the rate specified in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date, which matching contribution shall otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of the Citigroup 401(k) Plan.

(j) Xxxx Xxxxx shall be obligated to pay CAM Continuing Business Employees entitled to annual bonuses under each of the CAM Benefit Plans that provide for payment of annual bonuses (which CAM Benefit Plans are listed on Schedule 6.14(j) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter) the annual bonuses for (i) the bonus year of the CAM Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date (the “Current CAM Bonus Year”) and (ii) the bonus year of the CAM Subsidiaries completed prior to Current CAM Bonus Year (the “Prior CAM Bonus Year”), if not previously paid. The liability for the pro rata portion of the annual bonuses that Xxxx Xxxxx is obligated to pay for the Current CAM Bonus Year shall be included on the Citigroup Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Citigroup Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. The liability for the pro rata portion described in the preceding sentence shall be the amount determined

under the annual bonus plans and formulas of Citigroup in effect on the date of this Agreement. A liability for annual bonuses Xxxx Xxxxx may be obligated to pay for the Prior CAM Bonus Year, if any, shall be included on the Citigroup Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Citigroup Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, and shall be the amount determined by Citigroup under the annual bonus plans and formulas of Citigroup in effect during such year. The actual amount of the annual bonuses to be paid (or vested, but payable in the future) by Xxxx Xxxxx to CAM Continuing Business Employees for the Current CAM Bonus Year and, if applicable, the Prior CAM Bonus Year, shall be made in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code and in no event be less than the amount of the liability calculated pursuant to this Section 6.14(j). Citigroup agrees to consult in a reasonable and timely manner with Xxxx Xxxxx in respect of the amount of any prior bonuses and annual bonuses payable to U.S. CAM Business Employees who are reasonably expected to become CAM Continuing Business Employees for the bonus year, if any, of the CAM Subsidiaries that ends after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date.

(k) Effective immediately prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code, cause each unvested stock option to purchase shares of Citigroup common stock that was granted to a CAM Business Employee pursuant to each of the CAM Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 6.14(k) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter (other than a CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) to become fully vested, and once fully vested, such stock option shall remain exercisable in accordance with its terms.

(l) In respect of each CAM Continuing Business Employee who, as a result of the Closing, forfeits (i) Citigroup restricted shares, phantom shares, or deferred stock units that were granted pursuant to any of the CAM Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 6.14(l)(i) (each, a “CAM Forfeited Equity Award”) and/or (ii) any portion of his or her account under the CAM Deferred Incentive Plan (such portion, the “Forfeited DIP Account”), Xxxx Xxxxx shall establish, in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code effective as of the Closing Date, one or more replacement awards. Each replacement award granted in respect of a CAM Forfeited Equity Award that it replaces shall be made in or denominated in shares of Xxxx Xxxxx common stock or another notional investment alternative with a value equal to the value of the shares underlying the CAM Forfeited Equity Award and shall otherwise contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the CAM Continuing Business Employee than those that would have applied if the CAM Forfeited Equity Award had continued to remain outstanding. Similarly, each replacement award granted in respect of a Forfeited DIP Account shall have a cash value (which may be denominated in stock or notional alternative investments, as determined by Xxxx Xxxxx in its discretion) equal to the cash value of the Forfeited DIP Account on the first business day immediately preceding the Closing Date if such account had vested and been paid in accordance with the CAM Deferred Incentive Plan and shall otherwise contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the CAM Continuing Business Employee than those that would have applied if the employee had continued in employment with Citigroup or one of its Affiliates. For the purposes of each replacement award, to the extent applicable, service with Citigroup and its Affiliates shall be considered to be service with Xxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates for periods on and after the Closing Date. On the Closing Date prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall contribute to the capital of the CAM Subsidiaries an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate value on the Closing Date of the replacement awards granted in respect

of the CAM Forfeited Equity Awards and the Forfeited DIP Accounts (such sum, the “Citigroup Continuing Deferred Compensation Amount”).

(m) No later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Law, the Citigroup shall deliver to Xxxx Xxxxx the name, social security (or similar foreign term), home address, home telephone number, current annual salary rates, bonuses, deferred or contingent compensation, accrued vacation, and other like benefits paid or payable (in cash or otherwise), date of employment and job title of each CAM Continuing Business Employee. Citigroup shall use reasonable efforts to update the information provided pursuant the foregoing sentence as reasonably requested by Xxxx Xxxxx.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days following the date hereof, Citigroup shall use reasonable efforts to provide Xxxx Xxxxx with a list of each of the CAM Foreign Benefit Plans and (in each case, only if applicable) (i) each trust or other funding arrangement related for each such plan, and (ii) each summary plan description and summary of material modifications for each such plan.

Section 6.15 PC/CM Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, to the extent permitted under Requirement of Law and regulatory authority, Xxxx Xxxxx shall take all reasonable actions necessary such that all the PC/CM Business Employees and only the PC/CM Business Employees shall be employed by a PC/CM Subsidiary; provided, however, that Xxxx Xxxxx may cause the transfer of employment of any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee to any Subsidiary of Xxxx Xxxxx other than a PC/CM Subsidiary (any such employee who is so transferred, a “PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee”). No later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Citigroup shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each PC/CM Business Employee employed in the United States (a “U.S. PC/CM Business Employee”), other than any U.S. PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Subsidiary and any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee, on terms and conditions such that the termination by Xxxx Xxxxx or any of its Affiliates of such employee’s employment would not entitle such employee to severance under Appendix F of the CAM Severance Plan (if such employee was an eligible salaried participant in such plan). In addition, no later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Citigroup shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each PC/CM Business Employee employed outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee”), other than any Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Subsidiary and any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee, on terms and conditions which replicate (to the extent required by applicable local Requirement of Law) the terms and conditions in effect with respect to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, Citigroup may make its offer of employment contingent on (i) the PC/CM Business Employee consenting to, cooperating with, and satisfying Citigroup’s standard new-employee on-boarding process, including background checks, fingerprinting and drug testing; (ii) if applicable, the PC/CM Business Employee providing evidence that complies with the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986 that he or she is eligible for employment; and (iii) the PC/CM Business Employee executing Citigroup’s standard Principles of Employment, confidentiality, Code of Conduct, arbitration and conflict of interest agreements as required by Citigroup. Any PC/CM Business Employee who fails to

comply with any of such requirements is hereinafter referred to as an “Excluded PC/CM Business Employee.” Each PC/CM Business Employee who either accepts such offer of employment (other than an Excluded PC/CM Business Employee) or who is employed by the PC/CM Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date is referred to herein as a “PC/CM Continuing Business Employee.” Subject to Section 6.15(b), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit the ability of Citigroup or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any PC/CM Continuing Business Employee.

(b) If any PC/CM Business Employee who does not become a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Excluded PC/CM Business Employee or any PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) becomes entitled to severance, redundancy or other similar types of payments or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Transactions (including salary paid in lieu of notice required by the WARN Act as a result of or in connection with the Transactions), Citigroup shall be responsible (or shall reimburse Xxxx Xxxxx) for any such payments or benefits; provided, however, that Citigroup shall not be responsible for any such payments or benefits provided to any individual not employed by a PC/CM Subsidiary who receives an offer of employment from Citigroup or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.15(a) (such individual, a “PC/CM Non-Accepting Business Employee”). For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall provide (to the extent practicable, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code) to each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee (other than a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee who is employed on a part-time, temporary or contractual basis) whose employment is terminated by Citigroup following the Closing Date in a manner that would entitle such PC/CM Continuing Business Employee to severance payments and benefits under the CAM Severance Plan (a “PC/CM Qualifying Termination”), severance payments and benefits not less favorable than the greater of the severance provisions described in Schedule 6.15(a)(ii) of the Xxxx Xxxxx Disclosure Schedule or the severance payments and benefits for eligible salaried employees under Appendix F to the CAM Severance Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, taking into account all service with Citigroup and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date plus all service recognized by Xxxx Xxxxx or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Citigroup shall indemnify Xxxx Xxxxx to the extent Xxxx Xxxxx is required to make any payments or provide any benefits to any PC/CM Business Employee, other than a PC/CM Non-Accepting Business Employee, for any severance entitlements in excess of those contemplated by this Section 6.15(b) in connection with any such termination of employment. Xxxx Xxxxx shall indemnify Citigroup to the extent Citigroup is required to make any payments or provide any benefits pursuant to a severance plan or policy of Xxxx Xxxxx or any of its Affiliates in effect prior to the Closing on account of the deemed termination of employment of a PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Subsidiary with Xxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates on the Closing Date.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Xxxx Xxxxx shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or offer employment to any PC/CM Business Employee (including, but not limited to, Excluded PC/CM Business Employees); provided that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit Xxxx Xxxxx or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or offering employment to persons (i) who respond to a general solicitation or advertisement that is

Citigroup shall indemnify the Legg Mason Tax Indemnitees for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants) incurred in connection with any contest of any Tax liability for which Citigroup is liable under this Article VIII. With respect to each time that Legg Mason brings an indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VIII, Citigroup shall not be liable, and Legg Mason shall not seek indemnification, under this Section 8.1(a) (A) until the aggregate amount of Citigroup’s indemnification obligation under this Section 8.1(a) is equal to or greater than $100,000, after taking into account subclause (B) below, after which time Citigroup shall be liable for the entire amount of the indemnification obligation under this Section 8.1(a) and (B) for any current Taxes to the extent reserved for, clearly set forth and verifiable on the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Citigroup shall indemnify and hold harmless Legg Mason and its Affiliates against any and all losses of Tax Benefits resulting from Citigroup’s or its relevant Affiliate’s ineligibility or failure to make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to any CAM Domestic Subsidiary.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold the Citigroup Tax Indemnitees (which, for purposes of this Article VIII, shall include the PC/CM Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) harmless against (i) any liability for Taxes imposed on any of the PC/CM Subsidiaries or for which they are otherwise liable for as a transferee or successor or pursuant to any tax sharing agreement, tax indemnification agreement or similar agreement, including Taxes imposed on any PC/CM Subsidiary as a result of the PC/CM Restructuring, for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, (ii) any Taxes resulting from any valid, timely and effective election described in Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the PC/CM Domestic Subsidiaries (a “PC/CM Election”) and any comparable elections under the provisions of state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes, (iii) any Taxes imposed pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable provision under state, local or foreign Requirements of Law or regulation imposing joint or several liability

upon members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group) for which any PC/CM Subsidiary may be liable because of membership in the affiliated group, within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code, of which Legg Mason is the common parent (the “Legg Mason Affiliated Group”) or any consolidated group, combined, affiliated or unitary group (other than the Legg Mason Affiliated Group) at any time prior to Closing, and (iv) any Taxes imposed on Citigroup or its Affiliates under Section 951 of the Code with respect to any PC/CM Foreign Subsidiary for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, such amount determined in the manner described in Section 8.1(e)(i)(A). Legg Mason shall indemnify the Citigroup Tax Indemnitees for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants) incurred in connection with any contest of any Tax liability for which Legg Mason is liable under this Article VIII. With respect to each time that Citigroup brings an indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VIII, Legg Mason shall not be liable, and Citigroup shall not seek indemnification, under this Section 8.1(c) (A) until the aggregate amount of Legg Mason’s indemnification obligation under this Section 8.1(c) is equal to or greater than $100,000, after taking into account subclause (B) below, after which time Legg Mason shall be liable for the entire amount of the indemnification obligation under this Section 8.1(c) and (B) for any current Taxes to the extent reserved for, clearly set forth and verifiable on the PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Citigroup shall be responsible for, and shall hold the Legg Mason Tax Indemnitees harmless against, any Taxes imposed on the PC/CM Subsidiaries, and not indemnified against by Legg Mason under Section 8.1(c), (i) for all taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date or portions of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) that are attributable to any action of Citigroup or any of its Affiliates that occurs after the Closing on the Closing Date (other than actions contemplated by this Agreement or taken at the request of Legg Mason, including, without limitation, the making of the PC/CM Elections and any comparable elections under the provisions of state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes).

(e) Straddle Period.

(i) For purposes of this Article VIII, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be:

(A) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income, or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended with (and included) the Closing Date; and

(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the CAM Subsidiaries or the PC/CM Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or

otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

(ii) To the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, Citigroup shall take all actions reasonably necessary to terminate the taxable year of the CAM Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and Legg Mason shall take all actions reasonably necessary to terminate the taxable year of the PC/CM Subsidiaries on the Closing Date. To the extent any such taxable year of the CAM Subsidiaries or PC/CM Subsidiaries is terminated on the Closing Date, the parties hereto agree to cause the such CAM Subsidiaries or PC/CM Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to file all Tax Returns for the period including the Closing Date on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the relevant Governmental Authority will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis.

(f) To the extent that an indemnification obligation of one Party pursuant to this Section 8.1 may overlap with another indemnification obligation of such Party pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Party entitled to such indemnification shall be limited to only one of such indemnification payments to the extent of such overlap.

(g) Whenever in accordance with this Article VIII Legg Mason shall be required to pay Citigroup or its Affiliates an amount pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(d), or Citigroup shall be required to pay Legg Mason or its Affiliates an amount pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(c), such payments shall be made the later of 30 days after such payments are requested or 10 days before the requesting party is required to pay the related Tax liability.

(h) Procedures Relating to Tax Indemnification.

(i) If a claim for Taxes, including notice of a pending audit, shall be made by any Governmental Authority in writing (a “Tax Claim”), which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8.1, the party seeking indemnification (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing of the Tax Claim. Failure to give prompt notice of a Tax Claim (a “Tax Notice”) shall not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of liability under this Agreement except to the extent that the Tax Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the Tax Indemnifying Party’s position is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii) The Tax Indemnifying Party may discharge, at any time, its indemnification obligation under Section 8.1 by paying to the Tax Indemnified Party the amount of the applicable Tax set forth in the Tax Claim calculated on the date of such payment. Subject to clause (vi) below, the Tax Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in and, upon notice to the Tax Indemnifying Party, assume the defense of any Tax Claim for which the Tax Indemnifying Party has sole liability, in the event the Tax Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such claim by providing written notice of its intent to assume the defense of such claim to the Tax Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of the notice required under Section 8.1(h)(i). If the Tax Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Tax

Claim, the Tax Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling, provided, however, that the Tax Indemnified Party shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Tax Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iii) Except as provided herein, in the event of a Tax Claim that involves issues (A) relating to a potential adjustment for which the Tax Indemnifying Party has liability and (B) that are required to be dealt with in a proceeding that also involves separate issues that could affect the Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party, to the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, (x) the Tax Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to control the Tax Claim but only with respect to the former issues and (y) the Tax Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to control the Tax Claim but only with respect to the latter issues.

(iv) With respect to any Tax Claim for a Straddle Period, (A) each of Legg Mason and Citigroup may participate in the Tax Claim, (B) such Tax Claim shall be contested and defended by the party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of any adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that reasonably may be anticipated (as determined under Section 8.1(e)); provided that such Tax Claim shall not be settled without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(v) Except as provided in clause (vi) below, the party that is controlling the Tax Claim pursuant to Section 8.1(h)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (the “Controlling Party”) shall provide the non-Controlling Party with notice reasonably in advance of, and the non-Controlling Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Tax Claim to the extent allowed pursuant to the Requirements of Law including the right to attend any meetings with a Governmental Authority (including meetings with examiners) or hearings or proceedings before any Governmental Authority to the extent they relate to such Tax Claim.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) neither Legg Mason nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in any Tax Claim relating to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Citigroup or any of its Affiliates and (B) neither Citigroup nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in any Tax Claim relating to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates.

(vii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision in this Article VIII shall be interpreted in any manner which will require Citigroup or Legg Mason to pay any amount more than once whether as purchase price, as an indemnity or as a set-off or credit against any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement (including any set-offs required under Section 8.1(a) and 8.1(c) with respect to reserves established for current Taxes that are clearly set forth and verifiable on the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet or PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, as the case may be).

Section 8.2 Tax Returns and Refunds.

(a) (i) Citigroup shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all required Tax Returns (and, subject to the right to seek indemnification from Legg Mason as provided herein, pay any Taxes shown to be due thereon) relating to the CAM Subsidiaries for any taxable period which ends on or before the Closing Date. Legg Mason shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all required Tax Returns (and, subject to the right to seek indemnification from Citigroup as provided herein, pay any Taxes shown to be due thereon) relating to the CAM Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date and all required Tax Returns for subsequent taxable periods. All such Tax Returns that relate to Straddle Periods shall be prepared and all elections with respect to such Tax Returns that relate to Straddle Periods shall be made, to the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, in a manner consistent with past practice. Before filing any Tax Return with respect to any Straddle Period, Legg Mason shall provide Citigroup with a copy of such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the last date for timely filing such Tax Return (giving effect to any valid extensions thereof) accompanied by a statement calculating in reasonable detail Citigroup’s indemnification obligation, if any, pursuant to Section 8.1(a). To the extent that Citigroup, its Affiliates or any CAM Subsidiary has paid prior to the Closing Date to a Governmental Authority an amount in excess of Citigroup’s share of Taxes for a Straddle Period pursuant to Section 8.1(a), Legg Mason shall pay to Citigroup the amount of such excess within 10 days of filing such Straddle Period Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Citigroup shall have no indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(a) with respect to any Taxes covered by such Tax Return until Citigroup has received such Tax Return and such statement. If for any reason Citigroup does not agree with Legg Mason’s calculation of its indemnification obligation, Citigroup and Legg Mason shall consult and cooperate to resolve in good faith any such disagreements. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within 10 days following the delivery of such Tax Return to Citigroup, the parties shall consult and cooperate to resolve their dispute by submitting such dispute to the Accountant, which shall resolve any issue before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The scope of the Accountant’s review shall be limited to disputed items. Each of Legg Mason and Citigroup shall bear the fees and expenses of the Accountant in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and included in the Accountant’s report. If Citigroup agrees with Legg Mason’s calculation of its indemnification obligation, Citigroup shall pay to Legg Mason the amount of Citigroup’s indemnification at the time specified in Section 8.1(g).

(ii) Legg Mason shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all required Tax Returns (and, subject to the right to seek indemnification from Citigroup as provided herein, pay any Taxes required to be due thereon) relating to the PC/CM Subsidiaries for any taxable period which ends on or before the Closing Date. Citigroup shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all required Tax Returns (and, subject to the right to seek indemnification from Legg Mason as provided herein, pay any Taxes required to be due thereon) relating to the PC/CM Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date and all required Tax Returns for subsequent taxable periods.

100

manner consistent with past practice. Before filing any Tax Return with respect to any Straddle Period, Citigroup shall provide Legg Mason with a copy of such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the last date for timely filing such Tax Return (giving effect to any valid extensions thereof) accompanied by a statement calculating in reasonable detail Legg Mason’s indemnification obligation, if any, pursuant to Section 8.1(c). To the extent that Legg Mason, its Affiliates or any PC/CM Subsidiary has paid prior to the Closing Date to a Governmental Authority an amount in excess of Legg Mason’s share of Taxes for a Straddle Period pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Citigroup shall pay to Legg Mason the amount of such excess within 10 days of filing such Straddle Period Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Legg Mason shall have no indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(c) with respect to any Taxes covered by such Tax Return until Legg Mason has received such Tax Return and such statement. If for any reason Legg Mason does not agree with Citigroup’s calculation of its indemnification obligation, Legg Mason and Citigroup shall consult and cooperate to resolve in good faith any such disagreements. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within 10 days following the delivery of such Tax Return to Legg Mason, the parties shall consult and cooperate to resolve their dispute by submitting such dispute to the Accountant, which shall resolve any issue before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The scope of the Accountant’s review shall be limited to disputed items. Each of Legg Mason and Citigroup shall bear the fees and expenses of the Accountant in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and included in the Accountant’s report. If Legg Mason agrees with Citigroup’s calculation of its indemnification obligation, Legg Mason shall pay to Citigroup the amount of Citigroup’s indemnification at the time specified in Section 8.1(g).

(b) (i) Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the CAM Subsidiaries plus any interest received with respect thereto from the applicable Governmental Authority for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (including refunds or credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date but excluding any refund or credit included on the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, which shall be the property of Legg Mason) shall be for the account of Citigroup and shall be paid by Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates to Citigroup within 10 Business Days after Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates receives such refund or after the relevant Tax Return is filed in which the credit is applied against Legg Mason’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability for Taxes; provided, however, that any such amounts payable to Citigroup shall be reduced by any Tax cost (net of any Tax Benefit) to Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates, including any CAM Subsidiary, as the case may be, attributable to the receipt of such refund (including interest) and/or the payments of such amounts to Citigroup. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any refunds or credits of Taxes of the CAM Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are attributable to carrybacks of losses or credits from a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Legg Mason. In the event a refund of or credit for Taxes paid by Legg Mason to Citigroup is subsequently denied by a Governmental Authority, Citigroup shall promptly repay such refund or an amount equal to such credit (including interest) to Legg Mason. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the CAM Subsidiaries plus any interest received with respect thereto from the applicable Governmental Authority for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Legg Mason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any refunds or credits of Taxes of the PC/CM Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are attributable to carrybacks of losses or credits from a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Citigroup.

In connection therewith, (A) Legg Mason shall permit Citigroup to control the prosecution of any such refund claim that relates to refunds or credits to which Citigroup or any of its Affiliates is entitled under this Article VIII and, where deemed appropriate by Citigroup, shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons as Citigroup shall designate to represent such Affiliates with respect to such refund claim and (B) Legg Mason shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, forward to Citigroup any such refund within 10 days after the refund is received (or reimburse Citigroup and any of its Affiliates for any such credit within 10 Business Days after the relevant Tax Return is filed in which the credit is applied against any of such relevant Affiliates’ liability for Taxes); provided, however, that any such amounts payable to Citigroup shall be reduced by any Tax cost (net of any Tax Benefit) to Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates, including any CAM Subsidiary, as the case may be, attributable to the receipt of such refund (including interest) and/or the payments of such amounts to Citigroup. In the event such refund of or credit for Taxes is subsequently denied by a Governmental Authority, Citigroup shall promptly repay such refund or an amount equal to such credit (including interest) to Legg Mason.

102

(ii) At Legg Mason’s request and expense and subject to Citigroup’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Citigroup shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which Legg Mason is entitled under this Article VIII.

Citigroup and its Affiliates and Legg Mason and its Affiliates shall report the sale and acquisition, respectively, of the stock of each of the PC/CM Domestic Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement for which a PC/CM Election was

104

made consistent with such PC/CM Election (and any comparable elections under state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) and shall take no position to the contrary thereto in any Tax Return, or in any proceeding before any Governmental Authority or otherwise.

(b) To the extent permissible pursuant to the Requirements of Law, Citigroup, Legg Mason and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in the preparation and timely filing of any (i) corrections, amendments or supplements to the Forms 8023 (including Form 8883) and (ii) state, local or foreign forms or reports that are necessary or appropriate for purposes of complying with the requirements for making any state, local or foreign election that is comparable to the CAM Election or the PC/CM Election.

(i) In connection with any CAM Election as described in Section 8.4(a)(i) and consistent with Section 3.5, within 120 days after the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall provide (or shall cause its Affiliates to provide) to Citigroup (A) a proposed allocation of the “Modified Aggregate Deemed Sales Price” and the “Adjusted Grossed Up Basis” (each, as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) among the assets of the relevant CAM Domestic Subsidiary, which allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 338(b) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations, and (B) a complete set of IRS Forms 8883 (and any comparable forms required to be filed under state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) and any additional data or materials required to be attached to Form 8883 pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 338 of the Code (collectively, the “CAM Proposed Allocation”). In the event Citigroup objects to the CAM Proposed Allocation, Citigroup will notify Legg Mason within 20 days of receipt of the CAM Proposed Allocation of such objection, and the parties will endeavor within the next 15 days to resolve such dispute in good faith.

(ii) In connection with any PC/CM Election as described in Section 8.4(a)(ii) and consistent with Section 3.5, within 120 days after the Closing Date, Citigroup shall provide (or shall cause its Affiliates to provide) to Legg Mason (A) a proposed allocation of the “Modified Aggregate Deemed Sales Price” and the “Adjusted Grossed Up Basis” (each, as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) among the assets of the relevant PC/CM Domestic Subsidiary, which allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 338(b) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations, and (B) a complete set of IRS Forms 8883 (and any comparable forms required to be filed under state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) and any additional data or materials required to be attached to Form 8883 pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 338 of the Code (collectively, the “PC/CM Proposed Allocation”).

In the event that any such allocation is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party concerning resolution of such dispute.

(iv) In the event that Citigroup and Legg Mason disagree on the manner in which any such allocations should be made, Citigroup and Legg Mason (and their respective Affiliates) shall independently determine the manner in which such allocations should be made, and, for all Tax purposes, neither Citigroup (and any of its Affiliates) nor Legg Mason (and any of its Affiliates) shall be bound by the other party’s allocations.

(e) Any subsequent adjustments to the total consideration shall be reflected in the CAM Proposed Allocation or the PC/CM Proposed Allocation, as the case may be, and made in accordance with Section 338(b) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulation and consistent with the methodology provided above.

(f) To the extent allowed pursuant to the Requirements of Law, Citigroup and Legg Mason shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, treat any assets or shares of stock that are distributed by any of the CAM Domestic Subsidiaries to Citigroup or any of its Affiliates or by any of the PC/CM Domestic Subsidiaries to Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 6.13 as having been distributed in the deemed liquidation resulting from any CAM Election or any PC/CM Election, as the case may be.

(g) Legg Mason shall be entitled to make an election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code (or any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) (a “Section 338(g) Election”) with respect to any of the CAM Foreign Subsidiaries. If Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates makes a Section 338(g) Election, Citigroup and Legg Mason shall follow the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-9(d) and shall provide to each other all documents reasonably necessary to comply with such regulation. Except as required as a result of a Section 338(g) Election, neither Legg Mason nor any of its Affiliates shall change the taxable year of any CAM Foreign Subsidiary which includes but does not end on the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Citigroup, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, with respect to any dispute or disagreement between the Parties relating to Taxes, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute between them; but if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Accountant for resolution, which resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the fees and expenses relating to any dispute as to the amount of Taxes owed by either of the Parties shall be paid by Legg Mason, on the one hand, and Citigroup, on the other hand, in proportion to each party’s respective liability for the portion of the Taxes in dispute, as determined by the Accountant.

Section 8.6 Survival of Tax Provisions. Any claim to be made pursuant to Article VIII must be made before 60 days after the expiration (giving effect to any valid extensions, waivers and tolling periods) of the applicable statutes of limitations relating to the Taxes at issue or, solely with respect to a claim for a refund or credit of Taxes (or an adjustment with respect thereto), the later of (i) 60 days after the expiration (giving effect to any valid extensions, waivers and tolling periods) of the applicable statute of limitations relating to the Taxes at issue or (ii) one year after the Party making the claim becomes aware of sufficient facts relating to such refund or credit or adjustment to seek indemnification or reimbursement under this Article VIII.

After the Closing Date, none of the CAM Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or any Citigroup Seller or any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group, on the other hand, nor the PC/CM Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or any Legg Mason Seller or any member of the Legg Mason Affiliated Group, on the other hand, shall have any further rights or obligations under any such Tax Sharing Agreement.

Section 8.9 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted pursuant to the Requirements of Law, any payments made pursuant to Section 3.3,

107

Section 3.4, Article VIII or Article X shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the aggregate purchase price.

Section 8.10 Cooperation, Exchange of Information and Record Retention.

(a) Legg Mason and Citigroup shall provide each other, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to provide each other, with such cooperation and information relating to the CAM Subsidiaries and the PC/CM Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (including cooperation with respect to any Audit) as any of them reasonably may request of another, including in (i) preparing and filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes; (ii) resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes; (iii) contesting or compromising any Tax Claim; (iv) determining a Tax liability or a right to a refund of Taxes; (v) participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes; and (vi) connection with all other matters covered in this Article VIII. Each such party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. To the extent reasonably requested by Citigroup, Legg Mason shall cause the relevant CAM Subsidiary to authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons as Citigroup shall designate to represent such CAM Subsidiary with respect to subclauses (i)-(vi) of this Section 8.10(a). To the extent reasonably requested by Legg Mason, Citigroup shall cause the relevant PC/CM Subsidiary to authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons as Legg Mason shall designate to represent such PC/CM Subsidiary with respect to subclauses (i)-(vi) of this Section 8.10(a).

(b) Legg Mason and Citigroup recognize that (i) Citigroup and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by the CAM Subsidiaries to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Legg Mason and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by the PC/CM Subsidiaries to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Legg Mason and Citigroup agree that from and after the Closing Date, Citigroup, Legg Mason and their respective Affiliates shall (A) retain and maintain all such records including all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in their possession relating to Tax matters of the CAM Subsidiaries and the PC/CM Subsidiaries, as the case may be, for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for the Straddle Period for the longer of (x) the seven-year period beginning on the Closing Date or (y) the full period of the applicable statute of limitations, including any extension thereof and (B) allow the agents and representatives of each other, upon reasonable notice and at mutually convenient times to inspect, review and make copies of such records (at the expense of the party requesting the records) as Citigroup and Legg Mason may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time. Citigroup and Legg Mason agree that the holder of any records, books, work papers, reports, correspondence and other similar materials shall provide the other party with written notice 30 calendar days prior to transferring, destroying or discarding the last copy of any such materials and such other party shall have the right, at its expense, to copy or take any such materials; provided that such other party provide written notice stating its intent to copy or take such materials no later than 20 days after having received notice

108

that such materials are being transferred, destroyed or discarded. Any information obtained under this Section 8.10(b) shall be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, (i) neither Citigroup nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any information relating to, or a copy of, any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Legg Mason and (ii) neither Legg Mason nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any information relating to, or a copy of, any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Citigroup; provided, however, that Legg Mason shall be entitled to a copy of a pro forma Tax Return for the CAM Subsidiaries and Citigroup shall be entitled to a copy of a pro forma Tax Return for the PC/CM Subsidiaries.

Section 8.11 Tax Benefits. Any indemnity payments made pursuant to Article VIII shall be increased to account for any Tax cost incurred by the Tax Indemnified Party upon the receipt of such payment (grossed up for such increase) and shall be made net of any Tax Benefit realized or utilized by the Tax Indemnified Party that results from the payments of the amounts indemnified against giving rise to such indemnity payments. For purposes of determining the amount of any Tax Benefit or Tax cost incurred by the Tax Indemnified Party shall be deemed to pay Tax at the highest United States federal income tax corporate marginal rate in effect in the year such indemnifiable Loss is incurred and the recipient of the Tax Benefit shall be deemed to realize or utilize any Tax Benefit in the first taxable year that such Tax Benefit may be realized or utilized under Requirements of Law after taking into account all other Tax Attributes of such indemnified party and the projected utilization of such Tax Attributes as computed by the recipient of such Tax Benefit. If a Tax Benefit resulting from an indemnifiable loss is available in multiple Tax years, the amount of such Tax Benefit for purposes of this Section 8.11(a) shall be the net present value of all of such available Tax Benefits, calculated by using a discount rate equal to the long-term applicable federal rate for the month in which such indemnifiable loss is incurred. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination (which shall include the execution of Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Tax Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes, and any payments, if necessary, by the Tax Indemnified Party or the Tax Indemnifying Party to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary within 10 days of such determination.

Section 8.12 Indemnification for Taxes Related to the CAM Registered Investment Companies. To the extent Legg Mason pays or causes its Affiliates (which shall include the CAM Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) to pay any Taxes, or any amount paid in reimbursement of Taxes, of any CAM Registered Investment Company (or if such CAM Registered Investment Company has been liquidated, its shareholders, in their capacities as successors or transferees to such CAM Registered Investment Company) relating to any taxable period of such CAM Registered Investment Company ending on or before December 31, 2007, resulting from the potential failure of such CAM Registered Investment Company to qualify to be classified as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, Citigroup shall indemnify and hold Legg Mason and such Affiliates harmless against all of such Taxes and/or amounts; provided, however, that neither Legg Mason nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.12 unless either (i) the IRS has asserted in

109

writing that such CAM Registered Investment Company is liable for such Taxes and either (x) Legg Mason or such Affiliate receives a written opinion of a tax advisor of national reputation who is reasonably acceptable to Citigroup (a “Qualified Opinion”) to the effect that it is more likely than not that such CAM Registered Investment Company is liable for such Taxes or (y) a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) has been made that such Taxes are due, or (ii) with respect to Tax Returns of the CAM Registered Investment Companies that have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date, Legg Mason or such Affiliate receives a Qualified Opinion to the effect that no reasonable basis exists for the CAM Registered Investment Company to file a Tax Return without reporting such Taxes as due and payable by such CAM Registered Investment Company on such Tax Return. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citigroup shall not be required to indemnify Legg Mason and its Affiliates for Taxes or any amount paid in reimbursement of Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been owed (or asserted by the IRS as being owed) by the relevant CAM Registered Investment Company but for actions taken by Legg Mason, its Affiliates or the CAM Registered Investment Companies at the direction or request of Legg Mason or its Affiliates. Citigroup shall indemnify Legg Mason for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants) incurred by Legg Mason in connection with the payment of such Taxes or other amounts as described in this Section 8.12. If the Internal Revenue Service asserts in writing that a CAM Registered Investment Company is liable for Taxes, which might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8.12, Legg Mason or one its Affiliates shall notify Citigroup promptly in writing of such assertion. Failure to give prompt notice of such an assertion shall not relieve Citigroup of liability under this Section 8.12.

Section 8.13 Certain Deductions.

(a) (i) In the event a Citigroup Compensation Item is included in a Tax Return of Legg Mason or its Affiliates, Citigroup shall provide Legg Mason on a timely basis with such information, documentation and assistance as is necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by Legg Mason in order to compute the Citigroup Compensation Item, and to satisfy any and all reporting, withholding and payroll Tax obligations under the Code and applicable state, local or foreign Requirements of Law. Citigroup shall indemnify and hold the Legg Mason Indemnitees harmless against (A) the employer’s portion of any payroll or similar Taxes relating to the Citigroup Compensation Items that are actually imposed and paid; (B) Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of Citigroup to provide information as required by this Section 8.13(a)(i); and (C) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in claiming deductions in respect of any Citigroup Compensation Item and in processing or administering the information related to any Citigroup Compensation Item.

(ii) Legg Mason shall calculate for each taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, (A) the aggregate amount of income and franchise Taxes actually payable by Legg Mason and its Affiliates, including the CAM Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Legg Mason Group”), for such taxable period (“Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability”) and (B) the amount of income and franchise Taxes that would have been payable by the Legg Mason Group if determined without regard to any Citigroup Tax Items (“Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability”). Legg Mason shall provide Citigroup copies of its calculations of Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability and Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability, together with any documentation or supporting information

110

(consistent with Legg Mason’s internal confidentiality policies) reasonably requested by Citigroup to enable it to verify the accuracy of such calculations, within 30 days following the filing of all income and franchise Tax Returns of the Legg Mason Group with respect to such taxable period. If Citigroup does not agree with any of Legg Mason’s calculations, Citigroup and Legg Mason shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 8.5.

(iii) Legg Mason shall report each of the Citigroup Tax Items to the fullest extent, and in the earliest taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, allowable under applicable income and franchise Tax law after taking into account the various limitations under the Code to which those items may be subject in taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall require Legg Mason to forgo or otherwise jeopardize any other available Tax items, to take positions inconsistent with Legg Mason’s overall Tax Return positions, or to change its overall business plans or operations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Legg Mason shall have no obligation to carryback any Tax attribute or item.

(iv) If, for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Liability is greater than Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability, Legg Mason shall pay Citigroup an amount equal to such difference. Payments under this Section 8.13(a)(iv) shall be made by the later of (A) 45 days following the filing of all income and franchise Tax Returns of the Legg Mason Group for the applicable taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, and (B) 10 days after the date that a final agreement is reached between Legg Mason and Citigroup as to the calculation of Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability and Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period in accordance with Section 8.13(a)(iv).

(v) If Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability or Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, changes (by reason of the filing of amended Tax Returns, audit adjustments agreed to with a Governmental Authority, final dispositions of administrative or judicial proceedings, carrybacks from later taxable periods to earlier taxable periods or otherwise), Legg Mason shall recalculate Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability and Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period. Legg Mason and Citigroup shall promptly notify each other of any change or event that might give rise to such a change. Legg Mason shall provide Citigroup with copies of its recalculations, together with any documentation or supporting information (consistent with Legg Mason’s internal confidentiality policies) reasonably requested by Citigroup to enable it to verify the accuracy of such recalculations, within 30 days following any such change. If Citigroup does not agree with any of Legg Mason’s recalculations, Citigroup and Legg Mason shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 8.5. Within 10 days following a final agreement between Legg Mason and Citigroup as to the recalculations of Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability and Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability, appropriate adjustment payments (including any interest and penalties actually payable, or receivable from, as the case may be, the relevant Governmental Authority that are attributable to changes in Legg Mason’s Actual Tax Liability and Legg Mason’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period) shall be made by Citigroup or Legg Mason, as the case may be, to the other party in a manner consistent with Section 8.13(a)(iv).

111

(vi) In applying the provisions of this Section 8.13(a), it is the intention of the parties that the Tax Attributes of the Legg Mason Group (exclusive of Citigroup Tax Items) have priority over the Tax Attributes comprised within the Citigroup Tax Items, whether in the taxable year when generated or in another taxable year to which such items are carried back or carried forward.

(b) (i) In the event a Legg Mason Compensation Item is included in a Tax Return of Citigroup or its Affiliates, Legg Mason shall provide Citigroup on a timely basis with such information, documentation and assistance as is necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by Citigroup in order to compute the Legg Mason Compensation Item, and to satisfy any and all reporting, withholding and payroll Tax obligations under the Code and applicable state, local or foreign Requirements of Law. Legg Mason shall indemnify and hold the Citigroup Indemnitees harmless against (A) the employer’s portion of any payroll or similar Taxes relating to the Legg Mason Compensation Items that are actually imposed and paid; (B) Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of Legg Mason to provide information as required by this Section 8.13(b)(i); and (C) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in claiming deductions in respect of any Legg Mason Compensation Item and in processing or administering the information related to any Legg Mason Compensation Item.

(ii) Citigroup shall calculate for each taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, (A) the aggregate amount of income and franchise Taxes actually payable by Citigroup and its Affiliates, including the CAM Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Citigroup Group”), for such taxable period (“Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability”) and (B) the amount of income and franchise Taxes that would have been payable by the Citigroup Group if determined without regard to any Legg Mason Tax Items (“Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability”). Citigroup shall provide Legg Mason copies of its calculations of Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability and Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability, together with any documentation or supporting information (consistent with Citigroup’s internal confidentiality policies) reasonably requested by Legg Mason to enable it to verify the accuracy of such calculations, within 30 days following the filing of all income and franchise Tax Returns of the Citigroup Group with respect to such taxable period. If Legg Mason does not agree with any of Citigroup’s calculations, Legg Mason and Citigroup shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 8.5.

(iii) Citigroup shall report each of the Legg Mason Tax Items to the fullest extent, and in the earliest taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, allowable under applicable income and franchise Tax law after taking into account the various limitations under the Code to which those items may be subject in taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall require Citigroup to forgo or otherwise jeopardize any other available Tax items, to take positions inconsistent with Citigroup’s overall Tax Return positions, or to change its overall business plans or operations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Citigroup shall have no obligation to carryback any Tax attribute or item.

(iv) If, for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, Citigroup’s Hypothetical Liability is greater than Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability, Citigroup shall pay Legg Mason an

112

amount equal to such difference. Payments under this Section 8.13(b)(iv) shall be made by the later of (A) 45 days following the filing of all income and franchise Tax Returns of the Citigroup Group for the applicable taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, and (B) 10 days after the date that a final agreement is reached between Citigroup and Legg Mason as to the calculation of Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability and Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period in accordance with Section 8.13(b)(iv).

(v) If Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability or Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date, and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, changes (by reason of the filing of amended Tax Returns, audit adjustments agreed to with a Governmental Authority, final dispositions of administrative or judicial proceedings, carrybacks from later taxable periods to earlier taxable periods or otherwise), Citigroup shall recalculate Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability and Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period. Citigroup and Legg Mason shall promptly notify each other of any change or event that might give rise to such a change. Citigroup shall provide Legg Mason with copies of its recalculations, together with any documentation or supporting information (consistent with Citigroup’s internal confidentiality policies) reasonably requested by Legg Mason to enable it to verify the accuracy of such recalculations, within 30 days following any such change. If Legg Mason does not agree with any of Citigroup’s recalculations, Legg Mason and Citigroup shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 8.5. Within 10 days following a final agreement between Citigroup and Legg Mason as to the recalculations of Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability and Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability, appropriate adjustment payments (including any interest and penalties actually payable, or receivable from, as the case may be, the relevant Governmental Authority that are attributable to changes in Citigroup’s Actual Tax Liability and Citigroup’s Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable period) shall be made by Legg Mason or Citigroup, as the case may be, to the other party in a manner consistent with Section 8.13(b)(iv).

(vi) In applying the provisions of this Section 8.13(b), it is the intention of the parties that the Tax Attributes of the Citigroup Group (exclusive of Legg Mason Tax Items) have priority over the Tax Attributes comprised within the Legg Mason Tax Items, whether in the taxable year when generated or in another taxable year to which such items are carried back or carried forward.

Subject to the terms of this Article X, from and after the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Citigroup and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Citigroup Indemnified Parties” and together with the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties,” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all:

Section 10.4 Claims. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any action, suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment made or brought by an unaffiliated third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to a matter for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Article X which has or is reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for Losses, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable, in the case of a Legg Mason Indemnified Party, notify Citigroup and in the case of a Citigroup Indemnified Party, notify Legg Mason (Citigroup or Legg Mason, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing, indicating the nature of such Third Party Claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Such written notice shall (a) describe such Third Party Claim in reasonable detail including the sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such claim; provided that the failure to identify a particular section in such notice shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from subsequently identifying such section as a basis for such claim, (b) attach copies of all substantive written evidence thereof and (c) if possible, set forth an estimate of the amount of Losses that have been or may be sustained by an Indemnified Party; provided that such estimate shall not be binding or used in place of the actual amount of Losses subject to this Article X. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law. If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the relief consists solely of money Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties or the Citigroup Indemnified Parties, as applicable, from all liability with respect thereto. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if the (i) Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying

116

Party inappropriate or (ii) Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In any event, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party and their counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article X, keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice of a Third Party Claim does not elect to defend such Third Party Claim or does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 10.5 Limitations; Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Citigroup shall not be (i) liable for any amounts for which the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) unless (A) a claim is timely asserted during the survival period specified in Section 10.1(a), (B) the amount of Losses with respect to the particular act, circumstance, development, event, fact, occurrence or omission giving rise to such Losses exceeds $50,000 (aggregating all such Losses arising from substantially identical facts) and (C) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) exceeds, on a cumulative basis, $40,000,000 (the “Citigroup Threshold”), and then only to the extent of such excess, and (ii) required to make indemnification payments pursuant to Section 10.2(a) to the extent indemnification payments thereunder would exceed in the aggregate $1,100,000,000 (the “Citigroup Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall a Legg Mason Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(a) in respect of the Losses subject to Section 10.2(c), and any amounts for which the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(c), 10.2(d), 10.2(e) or 10.2(f) shall not count towards the Citigroup Threshold or the Citigroup Indemnification Cap.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Legg Mason shall not be (i) liable for any amounts for which the Citigroup Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a), unless (A) a claim is timely asserted during the survival period specified in Section 10.1(a), (B) the amount of Losses with respect to the particular act, circumstance, development, event, fact, occurrence or omission giving rise to such Losses exceeds $25,000 (aggregating all such Losses arising from substantially identical facts) and (C) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Citigroup Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) exceeds, on a cumulative basis, $20,000,000 (the “Legg Mason Threshold”), and then only the extent of such excess, and (ii) required to make indemnification payments pursuant to Section 10.3(a) to the extent indemnification payments thereunder would exceed in the aggregate $550,000,000 (the

117

“Legg Mason Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall a Citigroup Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.3(a) in respect of the Losses subject to Section 10.3(c), and any amounts for which the Citigroup Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(c), 10.3(d) or 10.3(e) shall not count towards the Legg Mason Threshold or the Legg Mason Indemnification Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any fact, event or circumstance which results in an adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Articles I or III hereof would also constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any of a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement or otherwise result in a Loss to the other Party, such Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Legg Mason Indemnified Party or Citigroup Indemnified Party, as applicable, with respect to such breach or inaccuracy to the extent that (i) recovery for any such Loss would constitute a duplicative payment of amounts recovered as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Articles I or III, (ii) such Loss was reflected as a liability on the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet or PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, as applicable, or (iii) such Loss was the subject of a dispute resolved as contemplated by Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

Section 10.6 Insurance; Tax Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Losses shall be net of any insurance or other prior or subsequent recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification. If an Indemnified Party shall have used its reasonable best efforts to recover any amounts recoverable under insurance policies and shall not have recovered the applicable Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the amount by which such Losses exceeds the amounts actually recovered.

(b) Any indemnity payments made pursuant to Article X by any Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party and any Losses applied to the Citigroup Threshold or Legg Mason Threshold, as applicable, shall be increased to account for any Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party upon the receipt of such payment (grossed up for such payment) and shall be made net of any Tax Benefit realized or utilized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates resulting from the payments of the amounts indemnified against giving rise to such indemnity payments. For purposes of determining the amount of any Tax Benefit or Tax cost incurred, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to pay Tax at the highest United States federal income tax corporate marginal rate in effect in the year such indemnifiable Loss is incurred and the recipient of the Tax Benefit shall be deemed to realize or utilize any Tax Benefit in the first taxable year that such Tax Benefit may be realized or utilized under Requirements of Law after taking into account all other Tax Attributes of such indemnified party and the projected utilization of such Tax Attributes as computed by the recipient of such Tax Benefit. If a Tax Benefit resulting from the incurrence or payment of Losses is available to any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in multiple Tax years, the amount of such Tax Benefit for purposes of this Section 10.6(b) shall be the net present value of all of such available Tax Benefits, calculated by using a discount rate equal to the long-term applicable federal rate for the month in which such Losses are incurred. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final

118

determination (which shall include the execution of Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes, and any payments, if necessary, by the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary within 10 days of such determination.

Section 10.7 Remedies Exclusive. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 6.17, 6.18, 6.19 and 10.9), the remedies provided in Article VIII and this Article X shall be the exclusive monetary remedies (including equitable remedies that involve monetary payment, such as restitution or disgorgement, other than specific performance to enforce any payment or performance due hereunder) of the Parties from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty, or non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 10.8 Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnified Party asserts or may assert under this Article X or Article VIII, respectively. In the event that an Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnified Party shall fail to make such reasonable best efforts to mitigate any such claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Citigroup nor Legg Mason, as the case may be, shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnified Party for that portion of any Losses or Taxes that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

Section 10.9 Tax Indemnification. Except as expressly provided in Article VIII or this Article X, this Article X shall not apply to indemnification with respect to Taxes.

(a) Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court will not accept jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York or any court of competent civil jurisdiction sitting in New York County, New York. In any action, suit or other proceeding, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise any claims that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above courts, that such action or suit is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such action, suit or other proceeding is improper. Each of the Parties also hereby agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against a Party in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such Party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.

(b) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 11.3 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.5 shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted under Requirements of Law.

The Parties intend that this Agreement shall

121

constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial proceeding involving this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each Party. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.

Section 11.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, the Parties waive any provision under Requirements of Law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. The Parties shall, to the extent lawful and practicable, use their reasonable best efforts to enter into arrangements to reinstate the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, of any such provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 11.9 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the terms of this Section 11.9, this Agreement and all its provisions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, will confer on any Person, other than the Parties or their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, remedies or liabilities; provided that the provisions of Article X will inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided that Legg Mason may, without the consent of Citigroup, assign any or all of its rights (including its ownership interest in any Legg Mason Subsidiary) and its related obligations hereunder, to any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (although no such assignment shall relieve Legg Mason of its obligations to Citigroup or any Legg Mason Indemnified Party hereunder); provided further that Citigroup may, without the consent of Legg Mason, assign any or all of its rights (including its ownership interest in any CAM Subsidiary), and its respective related obligations hereunder, to any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (although no such assignment shall relieve Citigroup of its obligations to Legg Mason or any Citigroup Indemnified Party hereunder).

Section 11.10 Publicity. Except for any notice which is required pursuant to the Requirements of Law or obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, each of Citigroup and Legg Mason hereby agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will issue (a) an initial press release announcing the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (b) any subsequent press release or any other public presentation with respect to the Transactions without using its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Party as to the contents and timing of such press release or public statement prior to its issuance. Each of Legg

122

Mason and Citigroup hereby further agrees, to the extent possible and legally permissible, to notify and consult with the other Party at least 24 hours in advance of filing any notice so required.

Section 11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.12 Expenses. Except as provided in Section 8.3, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except Citigroup and Legg Mason shall each bear and pay (a) one half of the expenses incurred by it or its Affiliates in connection with the filing, printing and mailing of the notices and proxy solicitation materials required by Section 6.6(b)) and (b) one half of the fees and expenses of CAM’s independent auditors incurred in connection with the preparation of the CAM Financial Information and the Interim Financial Statements in accordance with Section 6.21.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance and Other Equitable Relief. The Parties hereby expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached. Therefore, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to any Party, an aggrieved Party under this Agreement would be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall, however, be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any Party may otherwise have.

Section 11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in multiple counterparts which may be delivered by facsimile transmission. Each counterpart when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.15 No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither Citigroup nor any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives, nor any other Person, makes, or shall be deemed to make, any representation or warranty to Legg Mason, express or implied, at law or in equity, on behalf of Citigroup, and Citigroup hereby excludes and disclaims any such representation or warranty, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives or any other Person of any documentation or other information.

123
