(ii) second, if a Liability cannot be exclusively allocated to one Party or its Group under Section 2.07(a)(i) above, such Liability shall be allocated among both Parties and their respective Groups based on the relative proportions of total benefit received (over the remaining term of the Shared Contract, measured starting as of the date of allocation) under the relevant Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Group shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising out of or resulting from such Party’s or Group’s breach of the relevant Shared Contract.

Each Spin Off Recipient (other than ParentCo or a member of the ParentCo Group) will be entitled to receive one (1) SpinCo Ordinary Share for every fifty (50) ParentCo Ordinary Shares held by such Spin Off Recipient as of the Record Date. Prior to the Distribution Date, the ParentCo Board, in accordance with applicable Law, shall establish (or designate a committee of the ParentCo Board to establish) the Record Date for the Distribution and any appropriate procedures in connection with the Distribution.

Section 3.10. Distribution; Delivery of Shares.

(a) On or prior to the Distribution Date, ParentCo shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, execute and deliver an instrument of transfer, or otherwise make available to the Distribution Agent, for the benefit of the Spin Off Recipients, such number of issued and outstanding SpinCo Ordinary Shares as is necessary to effect the Distribution and provide to the Distribution Agent book-entry authorizations and any information required in order to complete the Distribution.

All such SpinCo Ordinary Shares to be so distributed shall be distributed by way of direct registration in book-entry form. No certificates therefor shall be distributed.

Section 3.11. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no fractional SpinCo Ordinary Shares shall be issued in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Spin Off Recipient would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Spin Off Recipient to vote or to any other rights as a shareholder of SpinCo. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Spin Off Recipient who, but for the provisions of this section, Section 3.08 and Section 3.09, would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of SpinCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided.

The costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions will be paid by a member of the SpinCo Group. The sales of fractional shares shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. None of ParentCo, SpinCo or the Distribution Agent shall guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional SpinCo Ordinary Shares. Neither ParentCo nor SpinCo shall pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent shall have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of ParentCo or SpinCo.

Section 3.12. Conditions to Distribution. The obligation of ParentCo to effect the Distribution pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the prior or simultaneous satisfaction, or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver by ParentCo, in its sole and absolute discretion, after consulting in good faith with SpinCo and after reasonably considering the views of SpinCo (which SpinCo shall promptly provide in good faith), of the following conditions:

(f) no order, injunction or decree issued by any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of all or any portion of the Distribution shall be pending, issued or in effect, and no other event outside the control of the Parties shall have occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of all or any portion of the Distribution or any related transactions contemplated hereby, including the Separation;

(g) the ParentCo Board shall have approved the Distribution and shall have not determined, in the sole and absolute judgment of the ParentCo Board, that any events or developments shall have occurred that make it inadvisable to effect the Separation, Distribution and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or would result in the Separation, Distribution and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements not being in the best interest of ParentCo or the ParentCo Shareholders;

(h) the ParentCo Shareholder Approval shall have been obtained;

(i) Confirmation of the solvency and financial viability of each of SpinCo and ParentCo after the Separation and Distribution by the ParentCo Board and the boards of directors of SpinCo shall have been obtained;

(j) ParentCo will have entered into a Distribution Agent Agreement with, or provided instructions regarding the Distribution to, the Distribution Agent;

(k) Immediately prior to the Distribution Date, the Memorandum and Articles shall be in effect.

Section 3.13. Additional Matters.

(a) No member of the ParentCo Group, SpinCo Group or any of their respective Affiliates, will be liable to any Person in respect of any SpinCo Ordinary Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) that are properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(b) ParentCo may at any time and from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, until the completion of the Distribution abandon, modify or change any or all of the terms of the Separation, the Distribution and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Separation, Distribution or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, after consulting in good faith with SpinCo and after reasonably considering the views of SpinCo (which SpinCo shall promptly provide in good faith).

(c) SpinCo shall cooperate with ParentCo in all respects to accomplish the Separation, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. SpinCo shall, at ParentCo’s direction, promptly take any and all actions necessary or desirable to effect the Separation, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, after ParentCo consults in good faith with SpinCo and after ParentCo reasonably considers the views of SpinCo (which SpinCo shall promptly provide in good faith). ParentCo shall select, and SpinCo shall cooperate in good faith to select, any investment bank(s), manager(s), underwriter(s) or dealer-manager(s) in connection with the Distribution, as applicable, as well as any financial printer, solicitation and/or exchange agent and financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors and service providers in connection with the Distribution, as applicable, after ParentCo consults in good faith with SpinCo and after ParentCo reasonably considers the views of SpinCo (which SpinCo shall promptly provide in good faith). SpinCo and ParentCo, as the case may be, will provide to the exchange agent all share certificates (to the extent certificated) or book-entry authorizations (to the extent not certificated) and any information required in order to complete the Distribution.

Section 3.14. Tax Withholding. The Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Upon becoming aware of any such withholding obligation, the Party so deducting and withholding shall provide reasonable advance notice of such withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with the Party in respect of which such deduction and withholding is made to eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding.

ARTICLE 4

INSURANCE

Section 4.01. Policies and Rights Included Within the SpinCo Assets. Without limiting the generality of the definition of the SpinCo Assets, the SpinCo Assets shall include (a) the SpinCo Policies and (b) any and all rights of an insured Party or its Affiliates under each of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, to the extent allowable under such Policies, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer, with respect to all injuries, losses, Liabilities, damages and expenses incurred or claimed to have been incurred prior to the Effective Time by any Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the SpinCo Business (provided that ParentCo shall have equal rights with respect to indemnity and the right to be defended to the extent practical and appropriate) and which injuries, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses may arise out of insured or insurable occurrences or events under one or more of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, or any of them, to SpinCo.

Section 4.02. Post-Effective Time Claims.

(a) If, subsequent to the Effective Time, any Person may assert a claim against SpinCo or its Affiliates with respect to any injury, loss, Liability, damage or expense incurred or claimed to have been incurred prior to the Effective Time, including claims related to the SpinCo Business, or in connection with the Distribution, and such injury, loss, Liability, damage or expense may have or has arisen out of insured or insurable occurrences, claims or events under one or more of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, ParentCo shall at the time such claim is asserted (except to the extent inconsistent with Section 4.01 and to the extent allowable under the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies) be deemed to assign, without need of further documentation, to SpinCo or its Affiliates, any and all rights of an insured party under the applicable ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policy with respect to such asserted claim, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.02 shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, or any of them, to SpinCo.

(b) In the event that any ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policy does not allow such assignment of a claim to SpinCo or its Affiliates, at SpinCo’s sole option, cost and expense, claims for coverage of insured SpinCo Liabilities shall be tendered by ParentCo as necessary to invoke the benefit of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies. If such insurers do not promptly acknowledge insurance coverage in connection with such insured SpinCo Liabilities, then, with respect to such insured SpinCo Liabilities, SpinCo, on an as-incurred basis (i) shall advance all amounts expended by ParentCo, incurred at the request of SpinCo, for or with respect to such insured SpinCo Liabilities, including all costs and expenses in connection with the defense and settlement and in satisfaction of any judgment incurred, and amounts sufficient to cover any Liabilities required to be paid by ParentCo or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) shall pay all costs incurred in connection with pursuing and recovering Insurance Proceeds with respect to the insured SpinCo Liabilities, but only to the extent so requested by SpinCo, which shall be entitled to direct such recovery efforts. Any payments made to ParentCo or its Subsidiaries by SpinCo or the SpinCo Subsidiaries on account of such insured SpinCo Liabilities shall be deemed to be advances pursuant to this Section 4.02. SpinCo and the SpinCo Subsidiaries shall have the right to recover any advances made pursuant to Section 4.03 from ParentCo and its Subsidiaries, and ParentCo and its Subsidiaries shall have the obligation promptly to reimburse SpinCo and the SpinCo Subsidiaries for such advances, solely from the Insurance Proceeds of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies that cover such insured SpinCo Liabilities and that are received by ParentCo or its Subsidiaries. ParentCo and its Subsidiaries (i) shall, at all times until paid to SpinCo, hold Insurance Proceeds received for or with respect to insured SpinCo Liabilities in trust for the benefit of SpinCo; and (ii) shall promptly remit such Insurance Proceeds to SpinCo.

Section 4.03. ParentCo Policies. ParentCo shall, to the extent that the ParentCo Policies cover the SpinCo Liabilities, after discussion with SpinCo, either (a) maintain the ParentCo Policies, (b) buy replacement insurance, or (c) purchase an extended reporting period endorsement for the ParentCo Policies. In each of (a), (b) and (c), such coverage shall be at the expense of SpinCo and be of a type and with a limit and terms and conditions similar to those in force under the ParentCo Policies as of the Effective Time.

(b) The SpinCo Liabilities (including any subsequently identified SpinCo Liabilities under Section 2.02(d));

Section 5.04. Reduction for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries.

(a) The amount that any Party is required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) to or on behalf of the Party entitled to such indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) pursuant to this Article 5, shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from Third Parties on behalf of such Indemnitee in respect of the Liability or related loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment as required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability or related loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of such Liability or related loss, then such Indemnitee shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) and shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such indemnifiable loss of such Insurance Proceeds.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be required to use reasonable best efforts to collect or recover any available Insurance Proceeds.

Section 5.05. Procedures For Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Third Party (including any Governmental entity) of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party and each Party to this Agreement, written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. If any Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be a Liability of the Parties, such Party shall give the other Party to this Agreement written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Party to give notice as provided in this Section 5.05(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 5, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees and in such Indemnitees’ reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnitees and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.05(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee.

(c) With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnitees agree, and shall cause their respective counsel (if applicable), to cooperate fully (in a manner that will preserve all attorney-client privilege or other privileges) to mitigate any such claim and minimize the defense costs associated therewith.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such claim, the Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section 5.05; provided, however, that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 5.06. Additional Matters.

(a) Any claim on account of a Liability which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such sixty (60) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other in-house personnel) of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(c) In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant, and add the Indemnifying Party as a named defendant if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this section and subject to Section 5.05 with respect to Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and all other external expenses, and the allocated costs of in-house counsel and other in-house personnel), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo will assume the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to the SpinCo Business or the SpinCo Liabilities and SpinCo will indemnify and hold harmless ParentCo for any Liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. Each Party will agree to cooperate in defending any claims against the other Party for events that took place prior to, on or after the Effective Time. ParentCo will retain liability for, and control of, pending and threatened legal matters related to the ParentCo Business.

Section 5.07. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article 5 shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any and all Liabilities.

Section 8.05. Privileged Matters. To allocate the interests of each Party with respect to privileged information, the Parties agree as follows:

(a) ParentCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the ParentCo Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo. ParentCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Liabilities of ParentCo and its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to or as of the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of ParentCo or any of its Affiliates (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Actions initiated against or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo.

(b) SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo. SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Liabilities of SpinCo and its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to or as of the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of SpinCo or any of its Affiliates (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Actions initiated against or by SpinCo, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of SpinCo or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo.

(c) ParentCo and SpinCo agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions of this Section 8.05, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Sections 8.05(a) and 8.05(b). All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both ParentCo and SpinCo in respect of which ParentCo and SpinCo retain any responsibility or liability under this Agreement shall be subject to a shared privilege.

(d) No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable law, if the other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation with Third Parties or as provided in Section 8.05(e). Such consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties and any of its Affiliates, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and any of its Affiliates, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to Third Parties.

(f) If a dispute arises between the Parties regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(g) Upon receipt by any Party of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its current or former directors, officers, agents or employees has received any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 8.05 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

(h) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of ParentCo and SpinCo, as set forth in this Section 8.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement, to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain applicable privileges. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 8.03 and the transfer of privileged information between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

In the event of a dispute between the Parties, a designated representative of each of ParentCo and SpinCo will meet as reasonably requested by either Party to review any such dispute. If the disagreement is not resolved by the designated representatives by mutual agreement within thirty (30) days after a meeting to discuss the disagreement, either Party may at any time thereafter provide the other Party written notice specifying the terms of such disagreement in reasonable detail.

The institution of a formal proceeding, including arbitration under Section 9.02, to resolve the disagreement may occur by written notice to the other Party only after the earlier of: (i) the chief executive officers of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and SpinCo mutually agreeing that resolution of the disagreement through continued negotiation is not likely to occur; or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60) day negotiation period.
