In the case of any Pre-Distribution Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return for which RemainCo is not the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return, as determined under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, as applicable, RemainCo may elect (in its sole discretion) to prepare such Tax Return; provided that, for such election to be valid, RemainCo shall provide Air PubCo with written notice of such election prior to the later of (i) January 31, 2027 or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Tax Period to which such Tax Return relates ends (or, if the Tax Return is due prior to such date, RemainCo shall provide notice to Air PubCo within five (5) business days of the end of the Tax Period to which such Tax Returns relates). If RemainCo makes a valid election pursuant to the foregoing sentence, RemainCo will be the Preparing Party and Air PubCo will be the Reviewing Party, in each case, with respect to the applicable Tax Return for purposes of Section 3.06.

Section 3.04 Tax Reporting Practices.

(a) RemainCo General Rule. Except as provided in Section 3.04(c), RemainCo shall prepare any Tax Return with respect to which it is the Preparing Party under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by RemainCo.

(b) Air PubCo General Rule. Except as provided in Section 3.04(c), Air PubCo shall prepare any Tax Return with respect to which it is the Preparing Party under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, in accordance with past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used with respect to such Tax Returns in question, and to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices, in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Air PubCo.

(c) Reporting of Separation Transactions. The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return shall be consistent with the treatment thereof in the Tax Opinions/Rulings, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed. The Tax treatment, including purchase price allocations, where relevant, of any Separation Transaction reported on any Tax Return for which Air PubCo is the Preparing Party shall be consistent with that on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group or caused or to be caused to be filed by RemainCo. At the request of Air PubCo, RemainCo shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to timely provide to Air PubCo such information, including anticipated filing positions, necessary to permit Air PubCo to comply with the preceding sentence.

Section 3.05 Consolidated or Combined Tax Returns. Air PubCo will elect and join, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to elect and join, in filing any Joint Returns that RemainCo determines are required to be filed or that RemainCo elects to file.

Section 3.06 Right to Review Tax Returns.

(a) General. The Preparing Party with respect to any material Tax Return shall make the portion of such Tax Return and related workpapers which are relevant to the determination of the other Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement available for review by such other Party at its request (the “Reviewing Party”), to the extent (i) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the Reviewing Party would reasonably be expected to be liable, (ii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the Reviewing Party would reasonably be expected to be liable in whole or in part for any additional Taxes owing as a result of adjustments to the amount of such Taxes reported on such Tax Return, (iii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the Reviewing Party would reasonably be expected to have a claim for Tax Benefits under this Agreement, or (iv) the Reviewing Party reasonably determines that it must inspect such Tax Return to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Preparing Party shall (A) make such portion of such Tax Return available for review and comment as required under this paragraph at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of the initial due date (taking into account applicable extensions) for filing of such Tax Return and (B) consider any such comments that are timely received and which are reasonable before filing such Tax Return, taking into account the Person(s)

responsible for payment of the Tax (if any) reported on such Tax Return and whether the position taken in the such comments is supportable by a “more likely than not” or higher of level of confidence, or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 3.04. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Tax Return. If any disagreement with respect to such Tax Return is not resolved following a good faith attempt by the Parties to resolve such disagreement, the position of the Party bearing the greatest liability for Taxes reflected on such Tax Return, determined pursuant to Section 2.02 (the “Majority Party”), shall prevail, except to the extent such position is not supportable by a “more likely than not” or higher level of confidence, or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 3.04.

(b) Material Tax Returns. For purposes of Section 3.06(a), a Tax Return is “material” if it (i) could reasonably be expected to reflect (A) a Tax liability equal to or in excess of $900,000, (B) a credit or credits equal to or in excess of $900,000, (C) a loss or losses equal to or in excess of $3,000,000, in each case with respect to the Reviewing Party or (ii) with respect to a Pre-Distribution Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return, is not described in clause (i) and is reasonably requested for review by the Party that is not the Preparing Party.

Section 3.07 Air PubCo Carrybacks and Claims for Refund. Air PubCo hereby agrees that (i) unless RemainCo consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Adjustment Request with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period shall be filed, and (ii) Air PubCo shall make or not make any available elections to waive the right to claim in any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period with respect to any Tax Return any Air PubCo Carryback arising in a Post-Distribution Period at the direction of RemainCo (in RemainCo’s sole discretion), and (iii) unless RemainCo consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no affirmative election (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any election required by applicable Law) shall be made to claim any such Air PubCo Carryback. In the event that Air PubCo is required under applicable Tax Law to claim any Air PubCo Carryback with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period, Air PubCo shall provide notice of such Air PubCo Carryback to RemainCo at least fifteen (15) business days prior to claiming such Air PubCo Carryback.

Section 3.08 Apportionment of Tax Assets. RemainCo may in good faith advise Air PubCo in writing of the amount, if any, of any Tax Assets, which RemainCo determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be allocated or apportioned to the Air PubCo Group, under applicable Law or may provide Air PubCo relevant information for making such determination on an as-is basis; provided that this Section 3.08 shall not be construed as obligating RemainCo to undertake any such determination or provide any such information. For the avoidance of doubt, RemainCo makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any such determination or information. Air PubCo and all members of the Air PubCo Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with any such determination. Air PubCo agrees that it shall not dispute RemainCo’s allocation or apportionment of Tax Assets. Air PubCo may request that RemainCo undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any particular Tax Assets to be allocated or apportioned to the Air PubCo Group under applicable Law; provided that to the extent that RemainCo determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to undertake such determination, or does not otherwise

advise Air PubCo of its intention to undertake such determination within twenty (20) business days of the receipt of such request, Air PubCo shall be permitted to undertake such determination at its own cost and expense and shall notify RemainCo of its determination, which determination shall not be binding upon RemainCo. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the avoidance of doubt, RemainCo shall bear no liability to Air PubCo for any determinations made by RemainCo pursuant to this Section 3.08 if any such determination shall be found or asserted to be inaccurate.

Section 3.09 Amended Tax Returns.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law or provided in this Section 3.09, none of the Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries shall file any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period.

(b) With respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period, the Majority Party (determined prior to the amendment of such Tax Return) may file an amendment to such Tax Return (an “Amended Tax Return”); provided that to the extent the other Party has any liability for Taxes on such Amended Tax Returns (the “Minority Party”), the Majority Party must (i) provide notice of its intent to file such Amended Tax Return to the Minority Party at least ten (10) business days prior to the filing of any such Amended Tax Return, (ii) reasonably cooperate and consult with the Minority Party to consider the Tax implications of filing such Amended Tax Return and (iii) indemnify the Minority Party to the extent the filing of any such Amended Tax Return could reasonably be expected to increase (by an amount equal to or in excess of $900,000) the Minority Party’s (A) indemnification obligations under this Agreement or (B) liability for Taxes in any Post-Distribution Period; provided, further, that in no event shall the Majority Party be required to obtain the consent of the Minority Party prior to the filing of any Amended Tax Return pursuant to this Section 3.09(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether a particular Amended Tax Return may be required to be filed or may be in the mutual best interests of the Parties to be filed, and if the Parties so determine (by way of mutual agreement of each Party’s Vice President of Tax (or other similar corporate executive)), after discussing in good faith, then the Majority Party shall not be required to indemnify the Minority Party in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence. To the extent the Minority Party is the Party responsible under applicable Law for the filing of a relevant Amended Tax Return, the Minority Party shall cooperate and file any Amended Tax Return requested by the Majority Party consistent with this Section 3.09(b).

(c) The Minority Party may file an Amended Tax Return only with the prior written consent of the Majority Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Minority Party must first (i) provide written notice of its intent to file such Amended Tax Return to the Majority Party at least ten (10) business days prior to the filing of any such Amended Tax Return, (ii) reasonably cooperate and consult with the Majority Party to consider the Tax implications of filing such Amended Tax Return and (iii) indemnify the Majority Party to the extent the filing of any such Amended Tax Return could reasonably be expected to materially increase the Majority Party’s (A) indemnification obligations under this Agreement or (B) liability for Taxes in any Post-Distribution Period.

Section 4. Tax Payments.

Section 4.01 Payment of Taxes.

(a) Computation and Payment of Tax Due With Respect to Joint Returns. In the case of any Joint Return, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to any Payment Date for any such Tax Return, the Preparing Party shall compute the amount of Taxes required to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority (taking into account the requirements of Section 3.04 relating to consistent accounting practices, as applicable) with respect to such Tax Return and, to the extent the other Party is liable for any amount of Taxes with respect to such Tax Return, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (taking into account any payments previously made by each Party with respect to such Tax Return and the total Tax liability reflected on such Tax Return), the Preparing Party shall provide such other Party a written statement setting forth the Taxes for which such other Party is liable and the basis for its computation in reasonable detail. Absent manifest error in such computation, as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of such written statement (but in any event no later than the Payment Date), the Party that is not the Required Party shall pay to the Required Party the amount of such Taxes for which such first Party is liable pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Required Party shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority on or before such Payment Date the amount of Taxes required to be paid with respect to any Joint Return (and provide written notice and proof of payment to the other Party).

(b) Computation and Payment of Tax Due With Respect to Separate Returns. In the case of any Separate Return, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to any Payment Date for any such Tax Return, the Preparing Party shall compute the amount of Taxes required to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority (taking into account the requirements of Section 3.04 relating to consistent accounting practices, as applicable) with respect to such Tax Return and, to the extent the other Party is liable for any amount of Taxes with respect to such Tax Return, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2, the Preparing Party shall provide such other Party a written statement setting forth the Taxes for which such other Party is liable and the basis for its computation in reasonable detail. Absent manifest error in such computation, as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of such written statement (but in any event no later than the Payment Date) the Party that is not the Required Party shall pay to the Required Party the amount of such Taxes for which such first Party is liable pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Required Party shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority on or before such Payment Date the amount of Taxes required to be paid with respect to any Separate Return (and provide notice and proof of payment to the other Party).

(c) Adjustments. In the case of any adjustment or payment pursuant to either, (i) a Final Determination or (ii) the Controlling Party determining in good faith to pay amounts asserted by a Tax Authority in connection with a Tax Contest while continuing to appeal or otherwise contest such Tax Contest, in either case, with respect to any Tax Return described in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(b), the Required Party shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax due with respect to such Tax Return required to be paid as a result of such adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination or good

faith determination to pay. In a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b), the Preparing Party shall compute the amount attributable to the other Party in accordance with Section 2 and provide such other Party a written statement setting forth the Taxes for which such other Party is liable and the basis for its computation in reasonable detail, and the Party that is not the Required Party shall pay to the Required Party the amount allocable to such first Party as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of such written statement (but in any event no later than the Payment Date).

Section 4.02 Indemnification Payments.

(a) If a Party is required to make a payment to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 6.03 or Section 6.04(d)), the Party required to make such payment under this Agreement shall pay the amount for which it is responsible (a “TMA Liability”) to the other Party at the time or times provided in the next two sentences. No later than forty-five (45) days following the close of the applicable calendar year, any TMA Liabilities which arose during the previous calendar year and are owed and not yet paid, to Air PubCo by RemainCo shall be netted with any such TMA Liabilities owed and not yet paid to RemainCo by Air PubCo, and if either Party has a net TMA Liability remaining after such netting (a “Net TMA Liability”), the Party owing such Net TMA Liability shall pay such Net TMA Liability to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any point during a calendar year, the Net TMA Liability, calculated at such time, owed to any Party exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Party owing such Net TMA Liability shall pay such amount to the other Party within forty-five (45) business days of receipt of a written demand for payment from the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.02(a) shall not apply to the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 6.03 and Section 6.04(d), and no amount owing pursuant to such provisions shall be included in any TMA Liability or Net TMA Liability.

(b) All payments between the two Parties under this Agreement shall be made by the Party having the obligation to make such payment (the “Indemnitor”) directly to the Party entitled to receive such payment (the “Indemnitee”); provided, however, that if the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee mutually agree with respect to any such payment, any member of the Indemnitor’s Group, on the one hand, may make such payment to any member of the Indemnitee’s Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All payments between the two Parties shall be treated in the manner described in Section 12, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

(c)

(i) To the extent that any Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity under more than one of Section 6.04(a) and (b), responsibility for such Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by RemainCo and Air PubCo according to relative fault.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.04(b) or Section 6.04(c)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary:

(A) with respect to (1) any Tax-Related Loss resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result of an acquisition of a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in RemainCo) and (2) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the absence of doubt, in whole or in part) from an acquisition after the Distributions of any stock or assets of Air PubCo (or any of its Affiliates) by any means whatsoever by any Person or any action or failure to act by Air PubCo affecting the voting rights of Air PubCo stock, Air PubCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless RemainCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax-Related Loss; and

(B) for purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Loss for which Air PubCo is responsible under this Section 6.04, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that RemainCo, its Group and each member of its Group (1) pays Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable year and (2) have no Tax Assets in any relevant taxable year.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.04(a) or Section 6.04(c)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, with respect to (1) any Tax-Related Loss resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result of an acquisition of a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Air PubCo) and (2) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the absence of doubt, in whole or in part) from an acquisition after the Distributions of any stock or assets of RemainCo (or any of its Affiliates) by any means whatsoever by any Person, RemainCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Air PubCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax-Related Loss.

If a Section 336(e) Election is made with respect to the Separation Transactions, then this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner, if any, as is determined by Parent in good faith to take into account such Section 336(e) Election.

(f) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnification Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Air PubCo shall indemnify and hold harmless RemainCo and each member of the RemainCo Group and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by or asserted against RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group or any of their respective officers, directors and employees under or in connection with or otherwise related to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnification Letter.

Section 7. Assistance and Cooperation.

Section 7.01 Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Parties shall cooperate in good faith (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Parties and their Affiliates including (i) preparing and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for, and amount of, any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to, and amount of, any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to the other Party and its Affiliates available to such other Party as provided in Section 8, and providing such assistance as is commercially reasonable in connection therewith. Each of the Parties shall also make available to the other Party, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Parties or their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. In the event that a member of the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and a member of the Air PubCo Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer Pricing Adjustment, the Parties shall cooperate pursuant to this Section 7 to seek any competent authority relief that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment. Air PubCo shall cooperate with RemainCo and take any and all actions reasonably requested by RemainCo in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinions/Rulings (including, without limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Advisor or Tax Authority; provided that, Air PubCo shall not be required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control).

(b) Any information or documents provided under this Section 7 shall be kept confidential by the Party receiving such information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither RemainCo nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide Air PubCo, its Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate to Air PubCo, its business, assets or Affiliates and (ii) in no event shall RemainCo or any of its Affiliates be required to provide Air PubCo, its Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that RemainCo determines that the provision of any information or documents to Air PubCo or its Affiliates could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 7 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 7.02 Income Tax Return Information. The Parties acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by the Parties pursuant to Section 7.01 or this Section 7.02. The Parties acknowledge that failure to conform to the reasonable deadlines set by the Parties could cause irreparable harm. Each Party shall provide to the other Party information and documents relating to its respective Group required by such other Party to prepare Tax Returns, including, but not limited to, any pro forma Tax Returns required by the Preparing Party for purposes of preparing such Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Preparing Party requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Preparing Party reasonably requests and at or prior to the time reasonably specified by the Preparing Party so as to enable the Preparing Party to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 7.03 Reliance by RemainCo. If any member of the Air PubCo Group supplies information to a member of the RemainCo Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the RemainCo Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the RemainCo Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Air PubCo (or any officer of Air PubCo as designated by the chief financial officer of Air PubCo) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 7.04 Reliance by Air PubCo. If any member of the RemainCo Group supplies information to a member of the Air PubCo Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the Air PubCo Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Air PubCo Group, identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of RemainCo (or any officer of RemainCo as designated by the chief financial officer of RemainCo) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 8. Tax Records.

Section 8.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each Party shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its respective Group for any Pre-Distribution Period, and RemainCo shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for any Pre-Distribution Period, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) ten (10) years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Party may dispose of such Tax Records. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Party reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Party consents in writing, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) business days’ prior notice to the other Party. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each such Tax Record being disposed. The notified Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such sixty (60) business day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date,

Air PubCo determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then Air PubCo may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to RemainCo and RemainCo shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90) business day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.02 Access to Tax Records. Each Party and its respective Affiliates shall make available to the other Party for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit such other Party and its Subsidiaries, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access during normal business hours, upon reasonable written notice and at the cost and expense of such other Party, to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by such other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Preservation of Privilege. No member of the Air PubCo Group shall provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of RemainCo (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 9. Tax Contests.

Section 9.01 Notice. If any Party becomes aware of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest which, if successful, could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Joint Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any RemainCo Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, and any other combined, consolidated, affiliated, unitary or other joint Tax Return which includes both members of the Air PubCo Group and members of the RemainCo Group, RemainCo shall have exclusive control over such Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 9.02(f) below.

(b) Pre-Distribution Period Tax Returns. Other than a Tax Contest described in Section 9.02(a), in the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for any Tax Period ending on or prior to the Distribution Date, the Party having the greatest liability for Taxes subject to such Tax Contest shall have exclusive control over such Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 9.02(e) and (f) below.

(c) Straddle Period Tax Returns. Other than a Tax Contest described in Section 9.02(a), in the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for any Straddle Period, the Party having the greatest liability for Taxes subject to such Tax Contest shall have exclusive control over such Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 9.02(e) and (f) below.

(d) Controlling Party. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Tax Contest described in Section 9.02(a), (b) or (c), “Controlling Party” means the Party entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Sections and “Non-Controlling Party” means the other Party.

(e) Contest Rights. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to (1) become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement, (2) become obligated to make, or have a member of its Group make, a payment to the relevant Tax Authority or (3) become subject to a material increase in Taxes for any Post-Distribution Period: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep such Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest, (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide such Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority, (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide such Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest, (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with such Non-Controlling Party and offer such Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest, and the Controlling Party shall consider any reasonable comments in good faith, and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect

to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that such Non-Controlling Party is actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve such Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(f) Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and such Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend (at its own cost and expense), any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities and (ii) the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and the Controlling Party shall consider any reasonable comments from the Non-Controlling Party in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which such Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to (1) become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or (2) become subject to a material increase in Taxes for any Post-Distribution Period. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide such written notice specified in this Section 9.02(f) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve such Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that such Non-Controlling Party is actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve such Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(g) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Non-Controlling Party’s Group shall execute and deliver to the Controlling Party (or such member of the Controlling Party’s Group as the Controlling Party shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by the Controlling Party (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest described in this Section 9.

Section 10. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof.

Section 11. Survival of Obligations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

Section 12. Tax Treatment of Payments. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, including the principles set forth in Arrowsmith v. Commissioner, 344 U.S. 6 (1952), unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Separation Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as follows: (a) to the extent the member or assets of the payor Group and the member or assets of the payee Group to which the liability for payment relates were separated in a tax-free contribution or tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such payment shall be treated as a tax-free contribution or tax-free distribution, as applicable, with respect to the stock of the applicable member of the payee Group or payor Group, occurring immediately prior to the relevant transaction in the Distributions or the Contribution, as applicable; (b) to the extent the member or assets of the payor Group and the member or assets of the payee Group to which the liability for payment relates were separated in a taxable transaction

for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the price or amount, as applicable, of the relevant transaction in the Distributions or the Contribution, as applicable; and (c) payments of interest shall be treated as deductible by the indemnifying Party or its relevant Subsidiary and as income to the Indemnitee or its relevant Subsidiary, as applicable. In the case of each of the foregoing, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Tax Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in this Section 12, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 13. Disagreements.

Section 13.01 Discussion. The Parties will, and will cause their respective Group members to, use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings in connection with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Dispute”) between any members of the Groups as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder, the Tax departments of the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such Dispute.

Section 13.02 Escalation. If good faith negotiations do not resolve a Dispute, then such Dispute (other than any Dispute involving computational matters or the interpretation of operative Tax Law, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 13.03) shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article IV of the Separation Agreement.

Section 13.03 Referral to Tax Advisor. If good faith negotiations do not resolve a Dispute involving computational matters or the interpretation of operative Tax Law, such Dispute will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Parties to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor within fifteen (15) business days following the completion of the escalation process or the event of a Dispute involving technical Tax matters, the Parties shall each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm (each, a “Preliminary Tax Advisor”), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall jointly select a Tax Advisor on behalf of the Parties to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax Advisor deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the Parties of its resolution of any such Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than thirty (30) business days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be conclusive and binding on the Parties. Following receipt of the Tax Advisor’s written notice to the Parties of its resolution of the Dispute, the Parties shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Parties.

Section 13.04 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Section 13 will prevent any Party from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve a Dispute through the process set forth in this Section 13 could result in serious and irreparable injury to any Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, RemainCo and Air PubCo are the only members of their respective Group entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of RemainCo and Air PubCo will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Party as provided in this Section 13.

Section 14. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to any third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement for which both Parties are reasonably expected to bear any liability for Taxes under this Agreement, (i) RemainCo shall be responsible for, and shall bear, the RemainCo Fixed Ratio of such expenses, and (ii) Air PubCo shall be responsible for, and shall bear, the Air PubCo Fixed Ratio of such expenses. Except for expenses described in the immediately preceding sentence, each Party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses.

Section 15. General Provisions.

Section 15.01 Addresses and Notices. Each Party giving any notice required or permitted under this Agreement will give such notice in writing and use one of the following methods of delivery to the Party to be notified, at the address set forth below or another address of which the sending Party has been notified in accordance with this Section 15.01: (a) personal delivery; (b) facsimile or telecopy transmission with a reasonable method of confirming transmission; (c) commercial overnight courier with a reasonable method of confirming delivery; or (d) pre-paid, United States of America certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
