member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group owns the Citi Marks (as defined below)
Citigroup hereby causes such member to grant to TPC (which grants in each case
are pursuant to the reservation of rights by TPC set forth in the Trademark
Assignment
7
Agreement between TPC and TIC dated March __, 2002), for the term set forth in
Section 3.5(a) hereof, a non-exclusive royalty-free license (the "Citi License")
to use the marks set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) hereto (such marks hereinafter
referred to as the "Citi Marks"), but only in the manner identified in Schedule
3.1(a) hereto or as otherwise approved in advance in writing by Citigroup's
trademark counsel, in each case, solely for the purpose of identifying,
advertising, marketing, and promoting TPC's property and casualty insurance
business, products, and services and activities related thereto (e.g., claims
services, payment services, engineering services, risk assessment services and
reinsurance business) in any form or media in the United States and/or Canada or
geographic portions thereof as set forth on Schedule 3.1(a) hereto. TPC shall
only use the Citi Marks in connection with its business, products, and services
and activities related thereto of a nature and quality which are at least equal
to that used by TPC and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Citi Marks as of
the date of this Agreement, and in a manner that is in conformity with past
practices and existing agreements between Citigroup and TPC regarding quality
control and usage of such marks. TPC shall have no right to sublicense the Citi
Marks; provided, however, that TPC may sublicense the Citi Marks to any
Subsidiary of TPC (for so long as such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of TPC)
and for purposes of advertising, marketing, promoting, and selling products and
services bearing Citi Marks in accordance with the terms of this Article III (a
"Designated TPC Sublicensee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citigroup agrees
that independent agents appointed by TPC to market TPC's products and services
and that comply with the terms of this Article III (including a person appointed
by TPC or its designated subsidiary after the date of the IPO), or any third
party that enters a Linking Agreement with TPC (in the form of attached Exhibit
A) for use of a Citi ▇▇▇▇ to link from that party's Internet web site to a TPC
web site and that complies with the terms of this Article III shall be a
Designated TPC Sublicensee. A breach by a Designated TPC Sublicensee of any of
the provisions of this Article III shall be deemed a breach by TPC of this
Article III. The Parties agree that subject to the terms of this Agreement and
in particular the Citi License, TPC may use the Umbrella ▇▇▇▇ (as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(a) hereto) in the property and casualty business consistent with
this Agreement and past practices between Citigroup and TPC regarding trademark
usage and quality control. TPC shall not use any Citi ▇▇▇▇ as a corporate name
for any new business, and shall not use the terms "Citi" or "Associates" in the
name of any new product, service, or corporate entity. Subsequent to the date of
this Agreement, except as provided in Section 3.1(b) below if TPC identifies
additional marks that were in use as of the date of this Agreement and which
should have been included in Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, then at TPC's written
request and subject to Citigroup 's written approval (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), Citigroup shall grant TPC a license to use
such other marks, and such marks shall be deemed Citi Marks for all purposes
under this Agreement.
8
(b) The parties agree that prior to the Trigger Date Citigroup
shall grant to TPC a "phase-out" license for use of the "CitiCapital Insurance
Company" name and ▇▇▇▇, the "Associates Lloyds Company" name, and the
"Associates Insurance Company" name and ▇▇▇▇, with quality control and other
reasonable terms to be agreed upon. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement,
TPC shall use reasonable best efforts to cease all use of the ▇▇▇▇ "A Member of
Citigroup" as of the Trigger Date.
(c) TPC agrees that the Citi License is a "phase-out" license
and agrees that during the term of the Citi License its use of the Citi Marks
shall be consistent with the purposes of such "phase-out" licenses.
(d) TPC shall have no rights with respect to the Citi Marks
other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement and the
Permanent TPC License (as hereinafter defined in Section 3.2) supersede all
prior agreements (whether written, oral or implied) between any member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group and TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC, with respect to the
use of the Citi Marks. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Agreement, on the one hand, and any provision of the Permanent TPC License, on
the other hand, the Permanent TPC License shall control.
(e) TPC and each Designated TPC Sublicensee shall execute all
additional documents which Citigroup may reasonably request (at Citigroup's
expense), both prior and subsequent to the expiration or earlier termination of
the Citi License, in order to perfect, maintain, defend or terminate any right
of any party in the Citi Marks in any jurisdiction of the world.
(f) TPC hereby grants, or to the extent a TPC Subsidiary owns
the TPC Marks (as defined below) TPC hereby causes such Subsidiary to grant, for
the term set forth in Section 3.5(c), to TIC a worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license (the "TPC License") to use the marks set forth in Schedule
3.1(f) hereto (such marks hereinafter referred to as the "TPC Marks"), but only
in the manner identified in Schedule 3.1(f) hereto or as otherwise approved in
advance in writing by TPC, in each case, solely for the purpose of identifying,
advertising, marketing, and promoting Citigroup's business, products and
services and activities related thereto as reasonably necessary to operate
existing Citigroup businesses that are using the TPC Marks and any new lines of
business (other than new lines of business involving the offering and
manufacture of property and casualty insurance products and services), and as
reasonably necessary to administer run-off blocks of business (e.g., the long
term care business, the group life business). TIC shall only use the TPC Marks
in connection with the business, products, and services and activities related
thereto of TIC and the Citigroup Affiliated Group and of a nature and quality
which are at least equal to that currently used by TIC or any member of the
Citigroup
9
Affiliated Group in connection with the TPC Marks as of the date of this
Agreement, and in a manner that is in conformity with past practices and
existing agreements between TIC and TPC regarding quality control and usage of
such marks. TIC shall have no right to sublicense the TPC Marks; provided,
however, that TIC may sublicense the TPC Marks to any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group (for so long as such member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
remains a member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group) and for purposes of
advertising, marketing, promoting, and selling products and services bearing TPC
Marks in accordance with the terms of this Article III (a "Designated TIC
Sublicensee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, TPC agrees that independent agents
appointed by TIC to market TIC's products and services and that comply with the
terms of this Article III (including a person appointed by TIC or a Designated
TIC Sublicensee after the date of the Initial Public Offering), or a third party
that enters a Linking Agreement with TIC (in the form of attached Exhibit A) for
use of a TPC ▇▇▇▇ to link from that party's Internet web site to a Citigroup web
site and that complies with the terms of this Article III shall be a Designated
TIC Sublicensee. A breach by a Designated TIC Sublicensee of any of the
provisions of this Article III shall be deemed a breach by TIC of this Article
III. Subsequent to the date of this Agreement, if TIC identifies additional
marks that were in use as of the date of this Agreement and which should have
been included in Schedule 3.1(f) hereto, then at TIC's written request and
subject to TPC's written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), TPC shall grant TIC a license to use such other marks, and such
marks shall be deemed TPC Marks for all purposes under this Agreement.
(g) TIC agrees that the TPC License is a "phase-out" license
and agrees that during the term of the TPC License its use of the TPC Marks
shall be consistent with the purposes of such "phase-out" licenses.
(h) TIC shall have no rights with respect to the TPC Marks
other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Permanent TPC
License. This Agreement and the Permanent TPC License supersede all prior
agreements (whether written, oral or implied) between any member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group and TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC, with respect to the
use of the TPC Marks. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this
Agreement, on the one hand, and any provision of the Permanent TPC License, on
the other hand, the Permanent TPC License shall control.
(i) TIC and each Designated TIC Sublicensee shall execute all
additional documents which TPC may reasonably request (at TPC's expense), both
prior and subsequent to the expiration or earlier termination of the TPC
License, in order to perfect, maintain, defend, or terminate any right of any
party in the TPC Marks hereunder in any jurisdiction of the world.
10
Section 3.2 Permanent TPC License. TIC and TPC agree that TPC
shall grant a license to TIC (with a right to assign or sublicense to a member
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group) for certain names and marks for use in the
life insurance and annuity business and related activities (and for certain
run-off blocks of business) worldwide perpetually (the "Permanent TPC License").
The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a letter agreement
addressing the use of marks to be licensed under the Permanent TPC license
during the time period between the Initial Public Offering and the effective
date of the Permanent TPC License.
Section 3.3 Trademark Guidelines and Standards.
(a) TPC agrees that, in the conduct of the business and
activities of TPC and its Designated TPC Sublicensees under the Citi License, it
shall, and shall cause each Designated TPC Sublicensee to, adhere to the
appropriate ethical standards pertaining to TPC's and its Designated TPC
Sublicensees' businesses and operations, and shall, and shall cause each

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES,
14
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY, REGISTRABILITY, OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE

FOREGOING, TIC ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LICENSES GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT
(INCLUDING THOSE GRANTED IN THIS ARTICLE III ) AND THE TPC MARKS ARE PROVIDED
"AS IS."
ARTICLE IV
PATENT LICENSING AGREEMENT
Section 4.1 Grant of TPC Patent License. TPC hereby grants, or
to the extent a TPC affiliate owns or has the right to license the TPC Patents,
TPC hereby causes such affiliate to grant, to TIC a perpetual, royalty-free,
worldwide, non-exclusive license (the "TPC Patent License"), under the TPC
Patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease and import products
and services covered under such patents (the "Citigroup Licensed Products or
Services"); provided, however, that the licensed field of use shall exclude the
property and casualty insurance business. TIC shall have no right to sublicense
the TPC Patents; further provided, that TIC may sublicense the TPC Patents
within the scope of the TPC Patent License to any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group for so long as such member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
remains a member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group, and that the licenses in
this Section 4.1 include the right to convey to any customer of TIC or customer
of a Citigroup Affiliated Group, with respect to any Citigroup Licensed Products
or Services which are sold or leased by TIC or a member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group to such customer, rights to use such Citigroup Licensed
Products or Services; provided, however, that the provision of certain
pass-through rights shall not be a sham to effect the sublicensing of a
15
competitor of TPC. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements (whether
written, oral, or implied) between any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
and TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC, with respect to the Citigroup Patents.
Citigroup shall have no rights to the TPC Patents other than those expressly set
forth in this Agreement.
Section 4.2 Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement of the
TPC Licensed Patents.
(a) Prosecution and Maintenance of the TPC Patents. In the
event that TPC intends to cease prosecution or maintenance of a particular TPC
Patent then TPC shall notify TIC as soon as practicable, and in no event, less
than thirty (30) days prior to any relevant statutory deadline, and at the
written request and expense (for out-of-pocket costs) of TIC, execute such
documents and perform such acts in a timely manner as may be reasonably
necessary to effect an assignment of TPC's right, title and interest in and to
such TPC Patent to TIC. TIC agrees to grant back to TPC a perpetual, worldwide,
royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except that TPC may transfer
or sublicense to any TPC Subsidiary), non-exclusive license to any such assigned
TPC Patent; provided, however, that the provision of certain pass-through rights
pursuant to such license shall not be a sham to effect the sublicensing of a
competitor of TIC or a competitor of another member of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group.
(b) Licenses of the TPC Patents to Third Parties. TPC agrees
that it will not, without TIC's prior consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), assign, transfer, convey, relinquish control of, or
license the TPC Patents to third parties, or enter into any settlements or
consent judgments relating to the TPC Patents if such license would impair TIC's
rights hereunder.
(c) Enforcement of the TPC Patents. Citigroup shall, at its
sole discretion, inform TPC of any alleged infringement of the TPC Patents by a
third party and of any evidence thereof. TPC has the first right to prosecute at
its own expense and for its own benefit (subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 4.2(b) above) any infringements of the TPC Patent Rights. In the event
that TPC chooses not to prosecute such infringement of the TPC Patents, or if
within six (6) months of receiving notice from Citigroup of such infringement
TPC is unsuccessful in causing the alleged infringer to desist and/or take a
license subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2(b) above, and is not
diligently enforcing an infringement action against such alleged infringer, TPC
shall, at Citigroup's request, prosecute at Citigroup's expense (for legal and
out-of-pocket costs) such alleged infringement of the TPC Patents. Any recovery
or damages derived from any such infringement suit prosecuted at Citigroup's
expense shall first be used to reimburse Citigroup for all
16
expenses (including TPC's expenses) relating to the suit and thereafter split
fifty percent (50%) each between Citigroup and TPC.
Section 4.3 Disclaimers of Representations and Warranties.
TPC, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES,
HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY, REGISTRABILITY, OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE
OF PERFORMANCE), REGARDING THE TPC PATENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF
THE FOREGOING, TIC ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LICENSES GRANTED IN THIS ARTICLE IV AND
THE TPC PATENTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS."
ARTICLE V
EQUITY PURCHASE RIGHTS
Section 5.1 Equity Purchase Rights. So long as the members of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group beneficially own, in aggregate, (excluding for
such purposes shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Citigroup but not for
its own account, including (in such exclusion) beneficial ownership which arises
by virtue of some entity that is an affiliate of Citigroup being a sponsor or
advisor of a mutual or similar fund that beneficially owns shares of Common
Stock) shares entitled to twenty percent (20%) or more of the votes entitled to
be cast by the then outstanding Common Stock, the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group shall have the equity purchase rights set forth in this Section
5.1 (the "Equity Purchase Rights"); provided, that the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group shall not be entitled to Equity Purchase Rights to the extent
that the principal national securities exchange in the United States on which
the Common Stock is listed, if any, prohibits or limits the granting by TPC of
such Equity Purchase Rights.
As soon as practicable after determining to issue Equity
Purchase Shares, but in any event at least five Business Days prior to the
issuance of Equity Purchase Shares to any Person other than to a member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group (and other than Equity Purchase Shares (i) if TPC
then has outstanding Public Company Stock, issued under dividend reinvestment
plans which offer Voting Stock to security holders at a discount from Average
Market Price (as defined below) no greater than is then customary for public
corporations, (ii) issued pursuant to the Transactions, (iii) issued in mergers,
acquisitions and exchange offers or (iv)
17
pursuant to its equity incentive plans), TPC shall notify Citigroup in writing
of such proposed sale (which notice shall specify, to the extent practicable,
the purchase price for, and terms and conditions of, such Equity Purchase
Shares) and shall offer to sell to Citigroup (which offer may be assigned by
Citigroup to another member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group) at the purchase
price (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions), if any, to be paid by
the transferee(s) of such Equity Purchase Shares an amount of Equity Purchase
Shares determined as provided below. Immediately after the amount of Equity
Purchase Shares to be sold to other Persons is known to TPC, it shall notify
Citigroup (or such assignee) of such amount. If such offer is accepted in
writing within five Business Days after the notice of such proposed sale (or
such longer period as is necessary for the members of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group to obtain regulatory approvals), TPC shall sell to such member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group an amount of Equity Purchase Shares (the "Equity
Purchase Share Amount") equal to the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the
number of shares of Voting Stock owned by the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group, in the aggregate, immediately prior to the issuance of the
Equity Purchase Shares by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Outstanding
Voting Stock owned by Persons other than by members of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Purchase Shares,
multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of Equity Purchase Shares being issued by
TPC to Persons other than to members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group rounded
up to the nearest whole Equity Purchase Share. If, at the time of the
determination of any Equity Purchase Share Amount, any other Person has
preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to the Equity Purchase
Rights, such Equity Purchase Share Amount shall be recalculated to take into
account the amount of Voting Stock to be sold to such Persons, rounding up such
Equity Purchase Share Amount to the nearest whole Equity Purchase Share. If TPC
determines in good faith that, in light of the advice of an investment banking
firm advising it or of its other financial advisors, it must consummate the
issuance and sale of the Equity Purchase Shares prior to the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group having obtained the necessary regulatory approvals,
TPC shall notify Citigroup in writing of such determination and shall then be
free so to consummate such issuance and sale without the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group having the right then to purchase its proportionate
share of such Equity Purchase Shares; provided, however, that in such event the
members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group shall have the right to purchase from
TPC, within 60 Business Days (or such longer period (up to two years) as is
necessary for the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to obtain regulatory
approvals) Voting Stock in an amount equal to the amount of Voting Stock it
would have received had it been able to purchase (and, in the case of Equity
Purchase Shares other than Voting Stock, securities exercisable or exchangeable
for or convertible into Voting Stock) the Equity Purchase Shares offered to it
pursuant to this Section 5.1, at a per share purchase price equal to the lower
of (i) the sum of the purchase price (net of any underwriting discounts or
commissions), if any, paid by the transferee(s) plus the
18
exercise price, if any, of such Equity Purchase Shares, or (ii) the Average
Market Price per share of Voting Stock and, if there is no Average Market Price,
the Fair Market Value per share of Voting Stock, in each case, at the time of
purchase by the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group.
The purchase and sale of any Equity Purchase Shares pursuant
to this Section 5.1 shall take place at 9:00 am on the latest of (i) the fifth
Business Day following the acceptance of such offer, (ii) the Business Day on
which such Equity Purchase Shares are issued to Persons other than the members
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and (iii) the fifth Business Day following the
expiration of any required governmental or other regulatory waiting periods or
the obtaining of any required governmental or other regulatory consents or
approvals, at the offices of Citigroup indicated in Section 11.1 hereof, or at
such other time and place in New York City as Citigroup and TPC shall agree. At
the time of purchase, TPC shall deliver to Citigroup (or such assignee)
certificates registered in the name of the appropriate members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group representing the shares purchased and the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group shall transfer to TPC the purchase price in United
States dollars by bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, as
specified by TPC, to an account designated by TPC not less than five Business
Days prior to the date of purchase. TPC and the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group will use their best efforts to comply as soon as practicable
with all federal and state laws and regulations and stock exchange listing
requirements applicable to any purchase and sale of securities under this
Section 5.1.
As used herein, "Average Market Price" of any security on any
date means the average of the daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive
trading days selected by TPC commencing not less than 20 days nor more than 30
trading days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be
the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or, if
such security is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the
principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or
admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Automated Quotations National Market System or, if such security is not listed
or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted on such
National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the
over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm
selected from time to time by TPC for that purpose. For the purpose of this
definition, the term "trading day" shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, other than any day on which securities are not traded on
such exchange or in such market.

with the SEC or otherwise making any such information public).
(k) Budgets and Projections. TPC shall, as promptly as
practicable, deliver to Citigroup copies of annual and other budgets and
financial projections (consistent in terms of format and detail and otherwise
with the procedures in effect on the date hereof) relating to TPC or any of its
subsidiaries and shall provide Citigroup an opportunity to meet with management
of TPC to discuss such budgets and projections.
(l) Other Information. With reasonable promptness, TPC shall
deliver to Citigroup such additional financial and other information and data
with respect to TPC and its subsidiaries and their business, properties,
financial position, results of operations and prospects as from time to time may
be reasonably requested by Citigroup. Citigroup shall have the right to request
financial information of the type covered in Sections 6.1(c) - (g) inclusive, on
a more expedited time frame upon no less than five Business Days prior written
notice. Such requests will be made only to the extent such information is
applicable to one or more members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group.
(m) Earnings Releases. Citigroup agrees that, unless required
by law, rule or regulation or unless TPC shall have consented thereto, no member
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group will publicly release any quarterly, annual or
other financial information of TPC or any of its subsidiaries ("TPC
Information")
23
delivered to Citigroup pursuant to this Section 6.1 prior to the time that
Citigroup publicly releases financial information of Citigroup for the relevant
period. TPC and Citigroup will consult on the timing of their annual and
quarterly earnings releases and will give each other an opportunity to review
the information therein relating to TPC and its subsidiaries and to comment
thereon. In the event that any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group is
required by law to publicly release such TPC Information prior to the public
release of Citigroup' financial information, Citigroup will give TPC notice of
such release of TPC Information as soon as practicable but no later than two
days prior to such release of TPC Information.
(n) Citigroup Affiliated Group Public Filings. Each of
Citigroup and TPC shall cooperate fully with each other to the extent reasonably
requested by the other in the preparation of any of their respective public
earnings releases, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports to
Shareholders, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and
any other proxy, information and registration statements, reports, notices,
prospectuses and any other filings made by them or any of their respective
subsidiaries with the SEC, any national securities exchange or otherwise made
publicly available (collectively, "Public Filings"). Each of Citigroup and TPC
agree to provide to each other all information that the other reasonably
requests in connection with any such Public Filings or that, in the judgment of
their respective General Counsels, is required to be disclosed therein under any
law, rule or regulation. Such information shall be provided by Citigroup or TPC,
as the case may be, in a timely manner to enable TPC or Citigroup, as the case
may be, to prepare, print and release such Public Filings on such date as
Citigroup or TPC, as the case may be, shall determine. If and to the extent
requested by Citigroup or TPC, the other party shall diligently review all
drafts of such Public Filings and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any
portion of such Public Filing pertaining to such other party or its
subsidiaries. Prior to any printing or public release of any Public Filing, an
appropriate executive officer of Citigroup or TPC, as the case may be, shall, if
requested by the other party, certify that the information relating to Citigroup
or TPC, as the case may be, in such Public Filing is accurate, true and correct
in all material respects. Unless required by law, rule or regulation, Citigroup
or TPC, as the case may be, shall not publicly release any financial or other
information which conflicts with the information with respect to the other party
that is included in any Public Filing without the prior consent of TPC or
Citigroup, as the case may be.
(o) Subject to the requirements of all applicable laws, rules
and regulations, (i) if TPC is to submit to a vote of its stockholders the
election, approval or ratification of the selection of its firm of independent
certified public accountants pursuant to Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act,
TPC shall so submit to such a vote such accounting firm as is designated by
Citigroup and (ii) if TPC does not so submit a firm of accountants to such a
vote, TPC shall cause its independent certified
24
public accountants to be such accounting firm as is designated, from time to
time, by Citigroup.
Section 6.2 Citigroup Annual Statements. In connection with
any Citigroup Affiliated Group member's preparation of its audited annual
financial statements and its Annual Reports to Shareholders (collectively the
"Citigroup Annual Statements"), during any period in which the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group own, in the aggregate, (excluding for such purposes
shares of Common Stock owned by Citigroup but not for its own account, including
(in such exclusion) beneficial ownership which arises by virtue of some entity
that is an affiliate of Citigroup being a sponsor or advisor of a mutual or
similar fund that beneficially owns shares of Common Stock) shares entitled to
twenty percent (20%) or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the then
outstanding Common Stock, (or such lesser percentage during any time that any
member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group is required, in accordance with GAAP,
to account for its investment in TPC on a consolidated basis or under the equity
method of accounting), TPC agrees as follows:
(a) Coordination of Auditors' Opinions. TPC will use its best
efforts to enable its independent certified public accountants (the "TPC
Auditors") to complete their audit such that they will date their opinion on
TPC's audited annual financial statements (the "TPC Annual Financial
Statements") on the same date that Citigroup independent certified public
accountants (the "Citigroup Auditors") date their opinion on the Citigroup
Annual Statements, and to enable Citigroup to meet its timetable for the
printing, filing and public dissemination of the Citigroup Annual Statements.
(b) Cooperation. Each of Citigroup and TPC will provide to the
other party on a timely basis all information that such other party or any of
its subsidiaries reasonably requires to meet its schedule for the preparation,
printing, filing, and public dissemination of its annual and quarterly statutory
statements, its audited annual financial statements, its Annual Reports to
Shareholders, its annual, quarterly and current reports under the Exchange Act,
and any of its registration statements, prospectuses and other filings made with
the SEC (collectively, the "Filings"). In this respect, Citigroup or TPC, as the
case may be, will provide all required financial information with respect to it
and its consolidated subsidiaries to the other party's auditors and management
in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit such
auditors to take all steps and perform all review necessary to provide
sufficient assistance to such auditors with respect to information to be
included or contained in the Filings, such assistance to such auditors to be in
conformity with current and past practices.
25
(c) Access to Personnel and Working Papers. TPC will authorize
the TPC Auditors to make available to the Citigroup Auditors both the personnel
who performed or are performing the annual audit of TPC and, consistent with
customary professional practice and courtesy of such auditors with respect to
the furnishing of work papers, work papers related to the annual audit of TPC,
in all cases within a reasonable time after the TPC Auditor's opinion date, so
that the Citigroup Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider
necessary to take responsibility for the work of the TPC Auditors as it relates
to the Citigroup Auditors' report on the Citigroup Annual Statements, all within
sufficient time to enable Citigroup to meet its timetable for the printing,
filing and public dissemination of the Citigroup Annual Statements.
Section 6.3 Fifty Percent Threshold. TPC agrees that during
any period in which the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group beneficially
own, in the aggregate, (excluding for such purposes shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Citigroup but not for its own account, including (in such
exclusion) beneficial ownership which arises by virtue of some entity that is an
affiliate of Citigroup being a sponsor or advisor of a mutual or similar fund
that beneficially owns shares of Common Stock) shares entitled to fifty percent
(50%) or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the then outstanding Common
Stock (or in which, notwithstanding such percentage, any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group is required, in accordance with GAAP, to consolidate TPC's
financial statements with its financial statements):
(a) Internal Auditors. TPC shall provide Citigroup's internal
auditors or other representatives of Citigroup access to TPC's and its
subsidiaries' books and records so that Citigroup may conduct reasonable audits
relating to the financial statements provided by TPC pursuant to Sections
6.1(c)-(h) hereof, inclusive, as well as to the internal accounting controls and
operations of TPC and its subsidiaries.
(b) Accounting Estimates and Principles. TPC will give
Citigroup reasonably notice of any proposed significant change in accounting
estimates or material changes in accounting principles from those in effect on
the date hereof, excluding changes that are mandated or required by the SEC, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, that could affect both TPC or Citigroup. In this connection,
TPC will consult with Citigroup and, if requested by Citigroup, TPC will consult
with its independent public accountants with respect thereto. As to material
changes in accounting principles which could affect TPC or Citigroup, TPC will
not make any such changes without Citigroup's prior written consent, excluding
changes that are mandated or required by the SEC, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, if
such a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in
TPC's financial statements as
26
filed with the SEC or otherwise publicly disclosed therein. If Citigroup so
requests, TPC will be required to obtain the concurrence of TPC Auditors as to
such material change prior to its implementation.
(c) Management Certification. TPC's chief financial or
accounting officer shall submit a quarterly representation in the form
prescribed by Citigroup attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the
financial and accounting records referred to therein in all material respects.
(d) Detailed Quarterly Financial Information. As soon as
practicable, and within five Business Days after the end of the first three
fiscal quarters in each fiscal year of TPC, TPC shall deliver to Citigroup (i) a
detailed consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of income
consistent with Citigroup's present chart of accounts (with such changes in such
chart of accounts as may be requested by Citigroup from time to time) and (ii)
statistical information necessary for inclusion in any Citigroup Affiliated
Group member's quarterly earnings press release, along with appropriate
supporting documentation.
(e) Detailed Annual Financial Information. As soon as
practicable, and within five Business Days after the end of each fiscal year of
TPC, TPC shall deliver to Citigroup (i) a detailed consolidated balance sheet
and consolidated statement of income consistent with Citigroup's present chart
of accounts (with such changes in such chart of accounts as may be requested by
Citigroup from time to time) as of and for the full fiscal year, and (ii)
statistical information necessary for inclusion in any Citigroup Affiliated
Group member's annual earnings press release, along with appropriate supporting
documentation.
(f) Accountants' Reports. Promptly, but in no event later than
five Business Days following the receipt thereof, TPC shall deliver to Citigroup
copies of all reports submitted to TPC or any of its subsidiaries by their
independent certified public accountants, including, without limitation, each
report submitted to TPC or any of its subsidiaries concerning its accounting
practices and systems and any comment letter submitted to management in
connection with their annual audit and all responses by management to such
reports and letters.
Section 6.4 Nine Percent Threshold. TPC agrees that, during
any period in which the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group beneficially
own, in the aggregate, (excluding for such purposes shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Citigroup but not for its own account, including (in such
exclusion) beneficial ownership which arises by virtue of some entity that is an
affiliate of Citigroup being a sponsor or advisor of a mutual or similar fund
that beneficially owns shares of Common Stock) shares entitled to nine percent
(9%) but less than
27
twenty percent (20%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the then outstanding
Common Stock, TPC shall:
(a) furnish to Citigroup as soon as publicly available, copies
of all financial statements, reports, notices and proxy statements sent by TPC
in a general mailing to all its shareholders, of all reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q
and 8-K, of all final prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act; and
(b) permit Citigroup to visit and inspect any of the
properties, corporate books, and financial and other records of TPC and its
subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of any such
corporations with the officers of TPC and the TPC Auditors, all at such times
and as often as Citigroup may reasonably request.
Section 6.5 Attorney Client Privilege. The provision of any
information pursuant to this Article VI shall not be deemed a waiver of any
privilege, including privileges arising under or related to the attorney-client
privilege (a "Privilege"). Following the Trigger Date, neither TPC nor its
Subsidiaries will be required to provide any information pursuant to this
Article VI if the provision of such information would serve as a waiver of any
Privilege afforded such information.
ARTICLE VII
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 7.1 Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever TPC proposes to register any
of its Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Stock) under the Securities Act for its own account or
the account of any stockholder of TPC (other than the Initial Public Offering of
TPC's Common Stock and the Concurrent Offering contemplated by the IPO S-1,
offerings pursuant to employee benefit plans, or noncash offerings in connection
with a proposed acquisition, exchange offer, recapitalization or similar
transaction) and the registration form to be used may be used for the
registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), TPC will
give prompt written notice to Citigroup and to all other holders of Common Stock
having similar registration rights, of its intention to effect such a
registration and, subject to Section 7.1(b) hereof, shall include in such
registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which TPC has received
written request for inclusion therein within 15 days after receipt of TPC's
notice.
28
(b) Priority. If a registration pursuant to this Section 7.1
involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter advises TPC in
good faith that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering
without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which
such securities can be sold, then TPC will be required to include in such
registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be
so sold, allocated
(i) if such registration was initiated by TPC, (x)
first, to the securities TPC proposes to sell, (y) second, among the
shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by
members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and any other stockholder of
TPC owning shares of Common Stock eligible for registration, pro rata,
on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock each holder
requests be included in such registration, and (z) third, among other
securities, if any, requested and otherwise eligible to be included in
such registration; and
(ii) if such registration was initiated by a security
holder of TPC, (w) first, among the shares of Common Stock requested to
be included in such registration by such requesting security holder,
(x) second, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included
in such registration by any member of Citigroup Affiliated Group, (y)
third, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in
such registration by any other stockholder of TPC owning shares of
Common Stock eligible for such registration, pro rata, on the basis of
the number of shares of Common Stock each holder requests be included
in such registration, and (z) fourth, among other securities, if any,
requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such registration
(including securities to be sold for the account of TPC).
(c) In the case of a registration initialed by TPC, nothing
contained herein shall prohibit TPC from determining, at any time, not to file a
registration statement or, if filed, to withdraw such registration or terminate
or abandon the registration related thereto, without prejudice, however, to the
rights of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to immediately request a
registration pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof.
Section 7.2 Requested Registrations.
(a) Right to Request Registration. At any time after the date
hereof, upon the written request of any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
requesting
29
that TPC effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the
Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration") (other than the Initial Public
Offering of TPC's Common Stock and the Concurrent Offering contemplated by the
IPO S-1), TPC shall use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as
possible, the registration under the Securities Act of such number of
Registrable Securities requested to be so registered; provided, that TPC shall
not be required to file a registration statement pursuant to this Section
7.2(a), (i) within a period of six months after the effective date of any other
registration statement of TPC requested hereunder or pursuant to which any
member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group shall have been given an opportunity to
participate pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, (ii) relating to an offering on a
delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor rule to
similar effect) promulgated under the Securities Act if TPC is not, at the time,
eligible to register shares of Common Stock on Form S-3 (or a successor form),
or (iii) with respect to any offering that is not reasonably expected to yield
gross proceeds of at least $60 million; provided, that in the event that the
members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group, collectively, do not own at the time
of such request such amount of Registrable Securities of the kind and type being
so registered that would be reasonably expected to yield gross proceeds of at
least $60 million, then the restriction contained in clause (iii) of this
Section 7.2(a) shall be disregarded with respect to such registration.
Promptly after receipt of any such request for Demand
Registration, TPC shall give written notice of such request to all other holders
of Common Stock having rights to have their shares included in such registration
and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c) hereof, include in such
registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which each member
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group or such other stockholder has requested to be
so registered.
(b) Effective Registration. A registration requested pursuant
to this Section 7.2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore,
not requested for purposes of Section 7.2(a) above) (i) unless the registration
statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act, (ii)
if after it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any
stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other
governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an
omission by any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and, as a result
thereof, the Registrable Securities requested to be registered cannot be
completely distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution, (iii) if the
conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or
waived other than by reason of some act or omission by any member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group, or (iv) if, pursuant to Section 7.2(c) hereof, less
than all of the Registrable Securities requested be registered were actually
registered.
30
(c) Priority. If a requested registration pursuant to this
Section 7.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter shall
advise TPC that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering
without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which
such securities can be sold, then TPC will be required to include in such
registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be
so sold, allocated (i) first, to Registrable Securities requested by the members
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to be included in such registration, (ii)
second, among all shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such
registration by any other stockholder of TPC owning shares of Common Stock
eligible for such registration, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of
Common Stock requested to be included in such registration and (iii) third,
among other securities, if any, requested and otherwise eligible to be included
in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of TPC).
(d) Preemption of Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Board of Directors of TPC determines in its good faith
judgment, (i) after consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking
firm, that there will be an adverse effect on a then contemplated public
offering of TPC's securities, (ii) that the disclosures that would be required
to be made by TPC in connection with such registration would be materially
harmful to TPC because of transactions then being considered by, or other events
then concerning, TPC, or (iii) that registration at the time would require the
inclusion of pro forma or other information, which requirement TPC is reasonably
unable to comply with, then TPC may defer the filing (but not the preparation)
of the registration statement which is required to effect any registration
pursuant to this Section 7.2 for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess
of 90 calendar days (or any longer period agreed to by the requesting holders of
Registrable Securities); provided, that at all times TPC is in good faith using
all reasonable efforts to file the registration statement as soon as
practicable.
(e) Other Registration Rights. TPC shall not grant to any
Person the right, except to employees, directors, agents and consultants of TPC,
to request TPC to register any securities of TPC except such rights as are not
more favorable than the rights granted to the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group herein, without the written consent of Citigroup.
Section 7.3 Registration Procedures. If and whenever TPC is
required to use its best efforts to effect or cause the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement,
TPC shall:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC as expeditiously as possible
but in no event later than 90 days after receipt of a request for registration
with respect to
31
such Registrable Securities, a registration statement on any form for which TPC
then qualifies or which counsel for TPC shall deem appropriate, which form shall
be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended methods of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable; provided,
that before filing with the SEC a registration statement or prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, including any documents incorporated by
reference therein, TPC shall (x) furnish to Citigroup and to one counsel
selected by Citigroup (or by Citigroup and holders of other securities covered
by such registration statement, but in no event to more than one firm of
attorneys for all such selling security holders) copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of
Citigroup and such counsel, and (y) notify Citigroup of any stop order issued or
threatened by the SEC and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the
entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
a period of not less than 180 days or such shorter period which shall terminate
when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been
sold (but not before the expiration of the applicable period referred to in
Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174, or any successor thereto,
thereunder, if applicable), and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
(c) furnish, without charge, to Citigroup and each
underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto (including one conformed copy to Citigroup and
one signed copy to each managing underwriter and in each case including all
exhibits thereto), and the prospectus included in such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act, and such other documents as Citigroup may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling holders, and
the managing underwriter, if any, reasonably requests and do any and all other
acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
selling holders and each underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder;
provided, that TPC shall not be required to (i)
32
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (d), (ii) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
insurance regulatory authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business
and operations of TPC to enable the selling holders to consummate the
disposition of Registrable Securities registered thereunder;
(f) immediately notify the managing underwriter, if any,
Citigroup and the selling holders at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event which comes to TPC's attention if as a result of such event the prospectus
included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and TPC shall
promptly prepare and furnish to the selling holders a supplement or amendment to
such prospectus so that as thereafter delivered, such prospectus shall not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; provided, however, that if TPC determines in good faith that the
disclosure that would be required to be made by TPC would be materially harmful
to TPC because of transactions then being considered by, or other events then
concerning, TPC, or a supplement or amendment to such prospectus at such time
would require the inclusion of pro forma or other information, which requirement
TPC is reasonably unable to comply with, then TPC may defer, for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed 90 days, furnishing to the selling holders a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus; provided further, that at all times
TPC is in good faith using all reasonable efforts to file such amendment as soon
as practicable;
(g) use its best efforts to cause all such securities being
registered to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by TPC are then listed, and enter into such customary agreements
including a listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form,
provided, that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied, and to provide
a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement no later than the effective date of such registration
statement;
(h) make available for inspection by Citigroup and any holder
of securities covered by such registration statement, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such persons (collectively,
the "Inspectors"), all financial
33
and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of TPC and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "Records"), if any, as shall be reasonably necessary
to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibilities, and cause TPC's
and its subsidiaries' officers, directors and employees to supply all
information and respond to all inquiries reasonably requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, TPC shall have no obligation to disclose any Records to the
Inspectors in the event TPC determines that such disclosure is reasonable likely
to have an adverse effect on TPC's ability to assert the existence of an
attorney-client privilege with respect thereto;
(i) if requested, use its best efforts to obtain a "cold
comfort" letter from TPC's independent public accountants in customary form and
covering such matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters;
(j) make available senior management personnel to participate
in, and cause them to cooperate with the underwriters in connection with, "road
show" and other customary marketing activities, including "one-on-one" meetings
with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities;
(k) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering a
period of at least 12 months, beginning with the first month after the effective
date of the registration statement (as the term "effective date" is defined in
Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), which earning statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(l) if requested to do so by the selling holders, use its best
efforts to create a depositary arrangement whereby depositary shares
representing fractional shares of Registrable Securities will be issued and to
cause to be prepared and to execute customary documentation with respect to such
depositary arrangement and such other documentation that the selling holders may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the depositary
shares created thereunder (including, but not limited to, engaging a depositary
and preparing and executing a depositary agreement).
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of TPC to
take any action pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Registrable
Securities which are to be registered at the request of any member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group shall furnish to TPC such information regarding the
securities held by TPC and the intended method of disposition thereof as TPC
shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action
taken by TPC.
34
Section 7.4 Restriction on Disposition of Registrable
Securities. Citigroup agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from TPC of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(f) hereof, Citigroup
shall, and shall cause each member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to,
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement covering such Registrable Securities until receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.3(f) hereof, or
until otherwise notified by TPC, and, if so directed by TPC, Citigroup shall,
and shall cause each member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to, deliver to TPC
(at TPC's expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all
drafts), other than permanent file copies, then in their possession, of the
prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such
notice. In the event TPC shall give any such notice, the 180-day period
mentioned in Section 7.3(b) hereof shall be extended by the greater of (x) three
months or (y) the number of days during the period from and including the date
of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 7.3(f) hereof to and including
the date when the selling holders shall have received the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.3(f) hereof.
Section 7.5 Selection of Underwriters. If any offering
pursuant to a registration requested pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof is to be an
Underwritten Offering, Citigroup shall have the right to select a managing
underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which may be ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc.
Section 7.6 Registration Expenses. TPC shall pay for all costs
and expenses with respect to its compliance with its obligations in connection
with a registration hereunder, including, but not limited to: (i) all
registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable
Securities), (iii) printing expenses, (iv) internal expenses (including without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any national securities

fees and disbursements of not more than one firm of attorneys acting as legal
counsel for all of the selling stockholders, collectively, (viii) the fees and

for the account of TPC and (x) the cost of preparing all documentation in
connection therewith. Except as otherwise provided in clause (ix) of this
Section 7.6, TPC shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees,
35
discounts, commissions or expenses attributable to the sale of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of any
underwriters and such underwriters' counsel.
Section 7.7 Conversion of Other Securities. If any holder of
Registrable Securities offers any options, rights, warrants or other securities
issued by it or any other person that are offered with, convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for any Registrable Securities (including the
Convertible Notes or similar securities), the Registrable Securities underlying
such options, rights, warrants or other securities shall be eligible for
registration pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof.
Section 7.8 Rule 144. If and for so long as TPC is subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, TPC shall take such measures and
file such information, documents and reports as shall be required by the SEC as
a condition to the availability of Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under
the Securities Act.
Section 7.9 Transfer of Registration Rights.
(a) Any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group may transfer
all or any portion of its rights under this Article VII and Article VIII hereof
to any transferee (each, a "transferee") of Registrable Securities. Any transfer
of registration rights pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be effective upon
receipt by TPC of written notice from such member of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group stating the name and address of any transferee and identifying the amount
of Registrable Securities with respect to which the rights under this Article
VII (and Article VIII hereof) are being transferred and the nature of the rights
so transferred. In connection with any such transfer, the term "Citigroup" or
"member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group" as used in this Agreement shall,
where appropriate to assign such rights and obligations to such transferee, be
deemed to refer to the transferee holder of such Registrable Securities. Any
member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and such transferees may exercise the
registration rights hereunder in such proportion as they shall agree among
themselves.
(b) After such transfer, each member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to
all other Registrable Securities owned by such member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group.
(c) Upon the request of any member of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group, TPC shall execute a Registration Rights Agreement with such transferee or
a proposed transferee substantially similar to the applicable sections of this
Agreement.

preparation thereof) or (y) constitutes TPC Agency Information (as defined
below); provided, that this clause (vii) shall apply with respect to any TPC
Agency Information only to the extent that TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC has
acted negligently in the preparation thereof. As used herein, "TPC Agency
Information" means information provided to any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group by TPC or any of its Subsidiaries which has been prepared and
so provided by TPC or any of its Subsidiaries in its capacity as agent for one
or more members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group.
(c) The indemnity agreement contained in Sections 8.1(a) and
(b) shall be applicable whether or not any Action or the facts or transactions
giving rise to such Action arose prior to, on or subsequent to the date of this
Agreement.
Section 8.2 Registration Statement Indemnification.
(a) TPC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group, each Person to whom registration rights shall
have been transferred pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof and each person, if any,
who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the
"Registration Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses arising out of
or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement or
38
Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Losses arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in
reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information relating to a Registration
Indemnitee furnished in writing to TPC by or on behalf of such Registration
Indemnitee expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii)
financial information, if any, provided by a Registration Indemnitee in writing
to TPC expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided,
that this clause (ii) shall apply only to Registration Indemnitee Agency
Information and only to the extent that such Registration Indemnitee has acted
negligently in the preparation thereof and (iii) information relating to any
underwriter furnished in writing to TPC or any of its Subsidiaries by or on
behalf of such underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus. As used herein, "Registration Indemnitee Agency Information" means
information provided to TPC or any of its Subsidiaries which has been prepared
and so provided by Citigroup Inc. or, as applicable, the relevant transferee
exercising registration rights pursuant to Section 7.9 hereto, in writing to TPC
or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) Each Registration Indemnitee agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless TPC and its Subsidiaries and any of
their respective directors or officers who sign any Registration Statement, and
any person who controls TPC within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from TPC to each Registration Indemnitee, but only with respect to (i)
information relating to such Registration Indemnitee furnished in writing to TPC
by or on behalf of such Registration Indemnitee expressly for use in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus and (ii) financial information, if any,
provided by such Registration Indemnitee in writing to TPC expressly for use in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, that this clause (ii) shall
apply only to Citigroup Agency Information and only to the extent that such
Registration Indemnitee has acted negligently in the preparation thereof. For
purposes of this Section 8.2(b), any information relating to any underwriter
that is contained in a Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not be deemed
to be information relating to a Registration Indemnitee. If any Action shall be
brought against TPC, any of its directors, any such officer, or any such
controlling person based on any Registration Statement or Prospectus and in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Registration Indemnitee
pursuant to this paragraph (b), such Registration Indemnitee shall have the
rights and duties given to TPC by Section 8.4 hereof (except that if TPC shall
have assumed the defense thereof such Registration Indemnitee shall not be
required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such
Registration
39
Indemnitee's expense), and TPC, its directors, any such officer, and any such
controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Registration
Indemnitee by Section 8.4 hereof.
Section 8.3 Contribution.
(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII
is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8.2 hereof in respect of
any Losses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by TPC on
the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the other hand from
the offering of the securities covered by such Registration Statement and
Prospectus, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of TPC on the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by TPC on the one hand and a Registration Indemnitee on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from the applicable securities offering (before deducting expenses) received by
TPC bear to the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting
expenses) received by such Registration Indemnitee. The relative fault of TPC on
the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the other hand shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by TPC on the one hand or by
such Registration Indemnitee on the other hand and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(b) TPC and each Registration Indemnitee agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.3 were
determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph
(a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
Losses referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or
defending any such Action. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.3, a
Registration Indemnitee shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the proceeds to such Registration Indemnitee exceeds the
amount of any damages which such Registration Indemnitee has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue
40
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 8.4 Procedure. If any Action shall be brought against
a Registration Indemnitee or any other person entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Article VIII (collectively with the Registration Indemnitees,
the "Indemnitees") in respect of which indemnity may be sought against TPC, such
Indemnitee shall promptly notify TPC, and TPC shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel and payment of all fees and expenses. Such
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action,
suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (i) TPC
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) TPC has failed to
assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the named parties to an Action
(including any impleaded parties) include both an Indemnitee and TPC and such
Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such
indemnified party and TPC by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation
by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing
interests between them (in which case TPC shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such Action on behalf of such Indemnitee). It is understood, however,
that TPC shall, in connection with any one such Action or separate but
substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for all such indemnified persons not having actual or
potential differing interests among themselves, and that all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. TPC shall not be liable for
any settlement of any such Action effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such Action, TPC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnitee, to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph, from and against
any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Section 8.5 Other Matters.
(a) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened Action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such Action.
41
(b) Any Losses for which an indemnified party is entitled to
indemnification or contribution under this Article VIII shall be paid by the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such Losses are incurred. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VIII shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, TPC, its directors or
officers, or any person controlling TPC, and (ii) any termination of this
Agreement.
(c) The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective
subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in a reasonable manner with respect
to access to unprivileged information and similar matters in connection with any
Action. The provisions of this Article VIII are for the benefit of, and are
intended to create third party beneficiary rights in favor of, each of the
indemnified parties referred to herein.
ARTICLE IX
OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Keepwell Payments. TPC agrees to reimburse any
member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group who has provided a Keepwell for any and
all amounts paid or payable (including all fees, costs and expenses incurred) by
such member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group in connection with the performance
by such member of its obligations under any Keepwell.
Section 9.2 Insurance Provided by TPC.
(a) TPC shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to continue to
offer and to provide to the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group the
insurance coverage described in Schedule 9.2(a) hereto, and any other insurance
coverage that members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group may from time to time
reasonably request. TPC shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
offer and provide such insurance coverage on premium and coverage terms that are
consistent with past practices. It is understood that some of the insurance
coverage listed in Schedule 9.2(a) may include the interests of TPC and its
Subsidiaries as insured, which interests shall be governed by and terminated in
accordance with the terms of Section 9.3 hereof. TPC's obligations pursuant to
this Section 9.2 shall terminate as of the Trigger Date; provided, that no such
termination shall have the effect of shortening or terminating the period of
coverage of any such insurance policy then currently in effect, except for
coverage provided under the worker's compensation insurance policy which shall
be non-renewed prior to the Trigger Date; and provided further, that TPC shall,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group after the Trigger Date to find mutually acceptable arrangements
42
whereby the insurance coverage referred to in this Section 9.2 shall continue to
be made available to the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group if they so
choose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the fifth anniversary of
the Trigger Date, TPC shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to offer and,
upon Citigroup's acceptance of the offer, provide excess SIPC protection to
members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group; provided, however, if TPC or one of
its Subsidiaries offers to provide excess SIPC protection to members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group, and the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group do
not accept such offer, neither TPC nor its Subsidiaries will be required to make
any additional offers to provide such excess SIPC protection in the future. All
such excess SIPC protection shall be so offered and provided on premium and
coverage terms that are consistent with prevailing market rates, terms and
conditions for such coverage, including but not limited to market underwriting
and indemnification commensurate with the financial risk assumed by TAP;
provided, that a TPC Subsidiary continues to write excess SIPC protection. At
least 90 days before any annual expiration date of the excess SIPC protection
TPC may notify Citigroup in writing of a nonrenewal of coverage on the then
effective terms. If no such notice is provided within such time period, TAP
shall offer to renew such excess SIPC protection on the same terms as then in
effect. The notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not
be required to be made with respect to any such anniversary date if the excess
SIPC protection referred to therein shall have been terminated by agreement of
the parties prior to such anniversary date.
(b) The Citigroup Affiliated Group shall be responsible for
any and all losses against it (and related expenses), including the deductibles
(and self-insured retentions) applicable to the insurance coverage referred to
in Section 9.2(a) hereof. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing,
Citigroup shall have the sole and absolute authority to handle any and all
claims filed under any policy referred to in this Section 9.2, or any insurance
coverage or self-insurance relating to prior periods, by any member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group, including, without limitation, decisions regarding
the settlement of any or all such claims.
Section 9.3 Insurance Maintained by Citigroup.
(a) Prior to the Trigger Date, Citigroup shall use its best
efforts to (i) continue to obtain and maintain the insurance coverage for itself
and on behalf of TPC and its Subsidiaries described in Schedule 9.3(a) hereto to
the extent that Citigroup obtains and maintains such coverage on a company-wide
basis and for the benefit of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
generally or (ii) assist TPC in finding mutually acceptable arrangements to
replace the insurance coverage referred to in this Section 9.3. To the extent
that such insurance coverage are so obtained and maintained, Citigroup shall use
its reasonable best efforts to obtain and
43
maintain such insurance coverage on payment terms consistent with the past cost
allocation practices of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and on
such other terms as are consistent with past practices. Citigroup's obligations
pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall terminate as of the Trigger Date; provided,
however, that as of and after the Trigger Date Citigroup shall use its best
efforts to continue to obtain and maintain the insurance coverage on behalf of
TPC and its Subsidiaries described on Schedule 9.3(a) hereto with respect to
occurrences pre-dating the Trigger Date on payment terms in accordance with such
allocation practices and other terms as are determined by Citigroup in its
reasonable discretion, for a term continuing until the sixth anniversary of the
Trigger Date.
(b) TPC and its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any and
all losses and related expenses against them, including, but not limited to, the
deductibles (and self-insured retentions), defense costs and expenses,
retrospective premium adjustments, workers' compensation self-insurance
assessments, surety bonds, Risk Management Information System charges, Loss
Prevention Engineering charges, Corporate Insurance Department cost allocations,
etc., applicable to the insurance coverage referred to in Section 9.3(a) hereof,
any other insurance coverage that either (i) preceded those listed in Schedule
9.3(a) or (ii) are listed on Schedule 9.3(a). For any given period of coverage
under any insurance policy referred to in Section 9.3(a) hereof for which a
portion of the premiums are paid for (by intercompany cost allocation or
otherwise) by TPC or its Subsidiaries, TPC and its Subsidiaries, collectively,
shall be entitled to make claims in respect of such policy and receive
reimbursements for claims made thereunder. Citigroup shall have the sole and
absolute authority to manage any and all claims filed under any policy referred
to in this Section 9.3 or any insurance coverage or self-insurance relating to
prior periods; provided, however, in the event of a conflict of interest between
Citigroup and TPC, the parties agree to discuss and decide upon a management
process for the settlement of any claims with respect to the insurance coverage
maintained by Citigroup on behalf of TPC and its Subsidiaries described on
Schedule 9.3(a) hereto with respect to occurrences pre-dating the Trigger Date.
Subject to the foregoing proviso, TPC shall have the right to consult with
Citigroup regarding the management and settlement decisions regarding any and
all of its claims provided that all contacts with the insurance company
providing the subject coverage shall be directed exclusively through Citigroup.
Section 9.4 Aviation Services.
From and after the date hereof, no member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
shall be obligated to provide to TPC or any of its Subsidiaries use of any
aircraft owned or leased by any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group or any
aviation services related thereto. To the extent that Citigroup permits such use
by or provides such services to TPC or any of its Subsidiaries, TPC agrees that
(i) TPC shall promptly
44
pay to the member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group that so provides such
aircraft or services an amount equal to all costs, fees and expenses incurred,
directly or indirectly, by such member in connection with providing such use or
services (including, without limitation, allocations of salaries (including
benefits) of personnel, hangar fees, insurance costs, fuel, maintenance and
depreciation, in each case as determined by such member in its reasonable
discretion) and (ii) the continued use of such aircraft and aviation services by
TPC and its Subsidiaries is subject to the continuing consent of Citigroup,
which can be revoked by Citigroup at any time, in whole or in part, in the sole
and absolute discretion of Citigroup. Citigroup shall sell, convey, transfer,
assign and deliver (or cause to be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and
delivered) to TPC all of Citigroup's right, title and interest in a Falcon 2000
executive jet (sn 20. Tail number N389GS), helicopter (sn. 760462 Tail number
N387GS) and certain other equipment used or operated at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
International Airport upon such material terms as have already been separately
agreed to by the parties. The sale and transfer of such aviation related
equipment is expected to occur on or about April 1, 2002.

Section 9.5(e) shall not include a license to use software identified by

(f) Third Party Software. Citigroup and TPC acknowledge and
agree that, subject to licensor consent, as well as the terms of the applicable
license agreements, Citigroup shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall
cause any other applicable members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to use
their reasonable best efforts, to assign to TPC and/or its Subsidiaries all

used exclusively by TPC and/or its Subsidiaries as of the date of this
Agreement. Citigroup and TPC further acknowledge and agree that, subject to

Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible, be partitioned between the parties
using such Shared Third Party Software as of the date of this Agreement;
provided, that any such partitioning shall be undertaken only as mutually agreed
by Citigroup and TPC. Citigroup acknowledges and agrees that, if requested by
TPC, Citigroup shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause any other

independent, non-exclusive right to use Shared Third Party Software licensed in
the name of Citigroup and/or a member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group as of
the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to partitioning (e.g.,

limited to partitioning (e.g., allocating by number of copies, capacity or like
measure) the licenses for such Shared Third Party Software. Citigroup and TPC
acknowledge and agree that all arrangements for Shared Third Party Software
shall be subject to licensor consent, as well as the terms of the applicable
license agreement, and that all costs associated with the division of Shared
Third Party Software shall accrue to the party seeking the independent right to
use that software. Schedule 9.5(f) hereto lists the Shared Third Party Software
identified by the parties hereto as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Section 11.15 hereto, the parties agree to supplement and
amend such Schedule 9.5(f) to correct inaccuracies, omissions or oversights, in
order to accomplish the objectives of this Section 9.5(f), prior to the time the
parties no longer provide data processing services and related support to each
other under the transition services agreement to be negotiated in accordance
with Section 9.14 hereto.
(g) Data Processing Services. Citigroup and TPC acknowledge
and agree that, until the Trigger Date, those data processing services currently
provided by TPC to TIC and/or other members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
shall continue to be provided to TIC and/or other members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group on the same terms and at the same cost as such services are
being provided to TIC and/or other members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group as
of the date of this Agreement. Citigroup and TPC further acknowledge and agree
that, until the Trigger Date, those data processing services currently provided
by Citigroup to TPC
49
and/or its Subsidiaries shall continue to be provided to TPC and/or its
Subsidiaries on the same terms and at the same cost as such services are being
provided to TPC and/or its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement.
Section 9.6 Credit Cards. TPC shall use Diners Club as its
exclusive corporate credit card from the date hereof for a period of one year
from the Trigger Date. TPC agrees to reimburse any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group for any and all amounts paid by such member (including all
fees, costs and expenses incurred) in connection with any guaranty or similar
agreement provided by such member to Diners Club or any other bank or credit
card issuer with respect to the payment of delinquent or past due credit card
accounts of any current, future or past employee of TPC or of any Subsidiary of
TPC.
Section 9.7 Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire. For a period of two
years following the Initial Public Offering, neither the Citigroup Affiliated
Group on the one hand nor TPC and its Subsidiaries on the other hand will,
without the prior written consent of the other party, either directly or
indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others,
solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit or hire, any person employed by the other
party whose annual base salary plus cash bonus exceeds $200,000, excluding any
equity-based compensation element of such bonus (the "Restricted Employees"),
whether or not such employee is a full-time or a temporary employee of either
the Citigroup Affiliated Group or TPC and its Subsidiaries (as applicable), and
whether or not such employment is pursuant to written agreement; provided, that
the foregoing will not (i) prevent either party from soliciting or hiring any
such person after the termination of such employee's employment by their
respective employer unless specifically prohibited by such employee's separation
agreement, if any, with a member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group or TPC and
its Subsidiaries or (ii) prohibit either party from placing public
advertisements or conducting any other form of general solicitation which is not
specifically targeted towards the Restricted Employees; provided, further, that
a general solicitation conducted by an employment agency on behalf of one of the
parties which inadvertently contacts a Restricted Employee will not trigger this
Section 9.7, so long as such Restricted Employee is not hired by such party
conducting the general solicitation for employees.
Section 9.8 Employee Benefits.
(a) Until the date of the Distribution, Citigroup shall allow
all Continuing Employees to participate in those employee benefit and retirement
plans (other than stock option, restricted stock and similar equity-based plans)
that are at such time maintained by the Citigroup Affiliated Group and generally
available to employees and retirees of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group and TPC, but only to the extent that the terms of such plans as of such
time permit such
50
participation. The Citigroup Affiliated Group agrees to provide to TPC at least
60 days' prior written notice of any event (prior to the date of the
Distribution) that would cause any employee benefit plan referenced in the
preceding sentence to no longer provide for participation by Continuing
Employees in such plans. TPC agrees to provide Citigroup at least 60 days' prior
written notice of TPC's adoption (prior to the date of the Distribution) of
comparable plans or other events which would cause TPC to no longer require
coverage under the relevant Citigroup Affiliated Group plans.
(b) Until the date of the Distribution, Citigroup shall allow
all Continuing Employees to continue to participate in stock option, restricted
stock and similar equity-based plans maintained by Citigroup, but solely with
respect to (i) awards granted to such Continuing Employees prior to the
completion of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) reload options granted
between the completion of the Initial Public Offering and the date of the
Distribution, to the extent that the terms of such plans as of such time permit
such participation. All matters relating to the treatment of taxes with respect
to the plans specified in this Section 9.8(b) shall be governed by the Amended
and Restated Tax Allocation Agreement. The parties hereto agree that, as of the
date of the Distribution, (x) the outstanding awards of Continuing Employees
under Citigroup's various equity incentive plans ("Citigroup Awards"),
including, but not limited to stock options and restricted and deferred stock
awards, shall be cancelled and (y) TPC shall cause such awards to be replaced,
in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board's ▇▇▇ ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇, by awards ("TPC Awards") under TPC's 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan having the same restrictions and vesting conditions (in the case of
restricted or deferred shares of TPC common stock) and the equivalent value and
the same restrictions and vesting conditions (in the case of options) as applied
to the Citigroup Awards immediately prior to the date of the Distribution.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 9.8 shall be construed
to limit the ability of any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to amend,
modify or terminate any plan specified in Sections 9.8(a) or (b) hereof,
consistent with the terms of such plan, as determined in such member's sole
discretion; provided that, Citigroup shall provide to TPC at least 60-days'
prior written notice of any such member's intention to take any action which
would result in the termination of any TPC Employee's participation in any such
plan prior to the date of the Distribution.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, TPC agrees that TPC
shall, no later than the date of the Distribution, establish employee benefit
plans comparable to the benefit plans specified in Section 9.8(a) for the
benefit of the Continuing Employees. As of the date of the Distribution, (i) all
Continuing Employees shall cease to participate in all employee benefit plans
maintained by the Citigroup Affiliated Group, except as otherwise provided
herein, and (ii) the
51
participation of all TPC Employees other than the Continuing Employees (the
"Retained Employees") in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Citigroup
Affiliated Group shall continue in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable employee benefit plans.
(e) (i) Following the completion of the Initial Public
Offering, TPC Employees shall continue to participate in the Citigroup Pension
Plan (the "Citigroup Pension Plan") on the same terms and conditions as applied
to such TPC Employees immediately prior to the completion of the Initial Public
Offering. As soon as practicable after, and in any event within 90 days after,
and effective as of, the date of the Distribution, TPC shall establish a defined
benefit pension plan (the "TPC Retirement Plan") (with terms and conditions
substantially comparable in all material respects to the Citigroup Pension Plan
(as applicable to the Continuing Employees)) and a related trust intended to
qualify under Section 401(a) and Section 501(a) of the Code for the benefit of
the Continuing Employees who participated in the Citigroup Pension Plan
immediately prior to the date of the Distribution (the "TPC Retirement Plan
Participants"). Effective as of the date of the Distribution, all TPC Retirement
Plan Participants shall participate in the TPC Retirement Plan and shall no
longer accrue benefits under the Citigroup Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, TPC shall cause the TPC Retirement Plan to (A)
provide the optional forms of benefit required to be preserved by Section
411(d)(6) of the Code and (B) recognize the service of each Continuing Employee
with the Citigroup Affiliated Group prior to the date of the Distribution.
(ii) Subject to applicable legal and fiduciary
requirements, within 90 days following the date of the Distribution,
Citigroup shall direct the trustee of the trust under the Citigroup
Pension Plan ("Citigroup Trust") to transfer from the Citigroup Trust
to the trustee of the TPC Trust, an amount estimated by the actuary for
the Citigroup Pension Plan to equal 90% of the Transfer Amount, as
defined below. The "Transfer Amount" shall mean the Projected Benefit
Obligation ("PBO"), as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87 - Employers' Accounting for Pensions, for the TPC
Retirement Plan Participants under the Citigroup Pension Plan as of the
date of the Distribution, determined in accordance with Schedule 9.8(e)
hereto, as equitably adjusted to reflect the benefit payments made to
TPC Retirement Plan Participants between the date of the Distribution
and the date on which the Transfer Amount is transferred (the "Transfer
Date"), as determined by the actuary for the Citigroup Pension Plan. As
soon as practicable following the Transfer Date, Citigroup shall direct
the trustee of the Citigroup Trust to transfer to the trustee of the
TPC Trust the excess of the Transfer Amount over the actual amount
previously transferred, plus interest
52
on such excess at a rate equal to the yield on 90-day T-bills as of the
Transfer Date compounded daily from the Transfer Date. The transfer of
assets contemplated by this Section 9.8(e) shall be made in kind or in
cash or cash equivalents, as agreed by Citigroup and TPC. Upon the
receipt of the Transfer Amount (i) the TPC Retirement Plan shall assume
the liabilities of the Citigroup Pension Plan for accrued benefits of
the TPC Retirement Plan Participants, (ii) neither TPC nor any TPC
Subsidiaries shall have any liability with respect to the Citigroup
Pension Plan, (iii) Citigroup Affiliated Group shall not have any
liability with respect to the accrued benefits of TPC Retirement Plan
Participants and (iv) the Citigroup Pension Plan shall retain all
liabilities for accrued benefits of Citigroup Pension Plan participants
who are not TPC Retirement Plan Participants.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Transfer Amount shall not be less than the amount
certified by the Citigroup actuary as sufficient for purposes of
Section 414(l) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
and shall be calculated by the Citigroup actuary utilizing the
assumptions and methods set forth on Schedule 9.8(e) hereto. The
Transfer Amount shall be determined by the Citigroup actuary and shall
be reviewed and agreed to as being done in accordance with the
methodology and assumptions set forth in this Section 9.8(e) and
Schedule 9.8(e) by an actuary selected by TPC. The Citigroup actuary
shall provide the actuary selected by TPC with all documentation
reasonably necessary for TPC to verify the determination of the
Citigroup actuary.
(f) (i) Following the completion of the Initial Public
Offering, TPC Employees shall continue to participate in the Citigroup 401(k)
Plan (the "Citigroup Savings Plan") on the same terms and conditions as applied
to such TPC Employees immediately prior to the completion of the Initial Public
Offering. Not later than the date of the Distribution, TPC shall establish a
qualified defined contribution savings plan (the "TPC Savings Plan") (with terms
and conditions that are substantially comparable in all material respects to the
Citigroup Savings Plan (as applicable to the Continuing Employees)), and a
related trust intended to qualify under Section 401(a) and Section 501(a) of the
Code for the benefit of the Continuing Employees who participated in the
Citigroup Savings Plan immediately prior to the date of the Distribution (the
"TPC Savings Plan Participants"). TPC shall make a recommendation to the
investment committee under the TPC Savings Plan to continue the Citigroup common
stock fund as an investment option under the TPC Savings Plan. All TPC Savings
Plan Participants shall be eligible to participate in the TPC Savings Plan as of
the date of its establishment. Notwithstanding the
53
generality of the foregoing, TPC shall cause the TPC Savings Plan to
(A) provide the optional forms of benefit required to be preserved by
Section 411(d)(6) of the Code and (B) recognize the service of each
Continuing Employee with Citigroup Affiliated Group prior to the date
of the Distribution.
(ii) Subject to applicable legal and fiduciary
requirements, within 90 days following the date of the Distribution,
Citigroup shall direct the trustee of the Citigroup Savings Plan to
transfer to the trustee of the TPC Savings Plan the account balances of
the TPC Savings Plan Participants under the Citigroup Savings Plan as
of the date of transfer (the "Savings Plan Transfer Amount"). Such
transfer may be made in kind or in cash or cash equivalents, as agreed
by Citigroup and TPC (including, without limitation, in shares of
common stock of Citigroup to the extent of the aggregate number of
shares credited to the accounts of the TPC Savings Plan Participants).
TPC shall cause the TPC Savings Plan to allocate the amounts
transferred among the TPC Savings Plan Participants and to the
available investment funds in the manner in which such accounts were
allocated under the Citigroup Savings Plan, unless different investment
funds are available under the TPC Savings Plan as adopted by TPC. Upon
the transfer of the Savings Plan Transfer Amount, the TPC Savings Plan
shall assume all liabilities for all accrued benefits under the
Citigroup Savings Plan in respect of the TPC Savings Plan Participants,
and the Citigroup Savings Plan shall be relieved of all liabilities for
such accrued benefits.
(g) Nothing contained in this Section 9.8 shall be construed
to limit the ability of TPC following the date of the Distribution to amend,
modify or terminate any plan adopted by TPC, consistent with the terms of such
plan, as determined in TPC's sole discretion.
(h) TPC and Citigroup shall provide each other with such
records and information, and shall cooperate, as may be necessary or appropriate
to carry out their obligations under this Section 9.8, including but not limited
to, (i) with respect to administration of the TPC Retirement Plan, Citigroup
Pension Plan, TPC Savings Plan and Citigroup Savings Plan and (ii) TPC providing
to Citigroup Schedule 9.8 within 45 days after the date of the Distribution. TPC
and Citigroup shall, in connection with the transfers contemplated by this
Section 9.8, cooperate in making any required filings pursuant to applicable
law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event
that any TPC Retirement Plan Participant or TPC Savings Plan Participant has
retired pursuant to the terms of the Citigroup Pension Plan or Citigroup Savings
Plan, respectively, prior to the date of the Distribution but is subsequently
rehired by TPC following the date of the
54
Distribution, Citigroup and TPC shall cooperate as necessary to determine the
proper disposition of such participant's accrued benefits, to the extent not
previously distributed.
Section 9.9 Form S-8. To the extent necessary to enable the
unrestricted transfer of the applicable shares of TPC's common stock, upon
consummation of the Initial Public Offering, TPC shall file and cause to remain
effective a registration statement on Form S-8 (or such other applicable form)
with the Securities Exchange Commission to register the shares of TPC's common
stock that may be acquired by employees of Citigroup pursuant to Citigroup's
employee stock or option plans.
Section 9.10 Sale of Products to Employees.
(a) Until the Trigger Date, Citigroup shall, and shall cause
each other member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to, offer and provide any
and all products and services, discounted or otherwise (e.g., Citibank credit
cards, Commercial Credit Corporation loans, brokerage services), of any member
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and any and all products and services,
discounted or otherwise (e.g., discounted prescription eyeglasses), of parties
unaffiliated with Citigroup and TPC, to the employees of TPC and of any
Subsidiary of TPC, in each case to the extent that such products and services
are then generally offered, and on terms substantially similar to those offered,
by such member to the employees of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated
Group.
(b) Until the Trigger Date, TPC shall, and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, offer and provide any and all products and services,
discounted or otherwise (e.g., homeowners insurance policies), of TPC and its
Subsidiaries and products and services, discounted or otherwise, of parties
unaffiliated with Citigroup and TPC, to the employees of the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group, in each case to the extent that such products and
services are then generally offered, and on terms substantially similar to those
offered, by TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC, as the case may be, to the employees
of TPC or of any Subsidiary of TPC.
Section 9.11 Volume Purchasing Arrangements. The parties
hereto agree that all arrangements in existence as of the date hereof pursuant
to which Citigroup and TPC purchase discounted products and services (e.g.,
volume purchase discounts for computers, telephones, furniture and stationary,
and long distance telephone calling packages) listed in Schedule 9.11 hereto
shall, to the extent permitted by the underlying vendor or supplier contract
continue for their existing term; provided, that for the period of time between
the Trigger Date and the expiration of any such volume purchasing arrangements
(i) TPC indemnifies
55
Citigroup for any Losses arising out of, based on, or in connection with any
with such arrangements, (ii) Citigroup maintains the right to terminate TPC's
participation in any such arrangements upon a change of control of TPC and (iii)
the cost associated with such arrangements are properly allocated (upon the
mutual agreement of the parties) between TPC and Citigroup. If such offerings,
provisions or arrangements would result in an increase in the per unit cost of
such products or services to any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group then
such members' obligations to offer such products or services to TPC and its
Subsidiaries under this Section 9.11 shall terminate, unless TPC reimburses each
such member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group for the aggregate increase in the
cost to such members of such products or services (in addition to TPC's
obligation to pay for the entire cost of the products or services used by TPC
and its Subsidiaries). Following the Trigger Date, TPC and Citigroup will
independently pursue and participate in separate volume purchasing agreements;
provided, however, that Citigroup and TPC may enter into additional joint volume
purchasing arrangements upon the mutual agreement of the parties.
Section 9.12 Business Relationships. The parties hereto agree
that all arrangements in existence as of the date hereof pursuant to which TPC
or any of its Subsidiaries utilize the distribution channels of any member of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group for the distribution of TPC's or its
Subsidiaries' property and casualty insurance products shall continue until the
expiration of the contract, on such payment terms that are consistent with the
past cost allocation practices of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group
and on such other terms as are consistent with past practices. During the period
of time between the date hereof and the Trigger Date, Citigroup and TPC agree to
review and discuss mutually acceptable arrangements for the distribution of
TPC's property and casualty insurance products through the distribution channels
of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and the sale of Citigroup Affiliated Group
products and services through the distribution channels of TPC and its
Subsidiaries, except as provided in Section 9.22 hereto. Following the Trigger
Date, all exclusive distribution arrangements between Citigroup and TPC will be
terminated unless specifically agreed otherwise. The parties agree to review the
extent and nature of any customer information and other information obtained
from the other party pursuant their relationship as affiliates, and to develop
an appropriate plan to ensure that the use of such customer and other
information, on and after the Trigger Date, complies with any applicable legal
and/or regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, the
▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999 (15 U.S.C. Sections 6801-6810).
Section 9.13 Services Provided Prior to Trigger Date. Until
the Trigger Date and only to the extent not otherwise provided for in the
Service Expense Reimbursement Agreement and the Expense Allocation Agreement (i)
Citigroup may, or may cause another member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group to,
56
continue to provide to TPC and any Subsidiary of TPC and (ii) TPC may, or may
cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, continue to provide to the members of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group, any and all administrative and other services
(unless otherwise specifically agreed by the parties) which have been,
consistent with past practices, provided by any member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group to any Subsidiary of TPC and vice-versa, as requested by the
other party. If such services are so provided, the entity providing such
services shall be reimbursed by the user of such services for all costs, fees
and expenses incurred by such provider, including reasonable allocations of
salaries (including benefits) of personnel and overhead on a basis that is
consistent with the past cost allocation practices of the members of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group; provided, that the provision of such services shall
only be required to the extent that they are consistent with appropriate
standards of business conduct.
Section 9.14 Transition Services Provided Following Trigger
Date. The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate
in good faith the terms of a transition services agreement, on terms consistent
with this Section 9.14, and including a schedule of services, for the provision
of certain facilities sharing, systems, corporate, administrative and other
existing shared services to be provided by each party following the Trigger
Date. Unless specifically agreed otherwise, the term for the provision of each
service will be one year, except for the provision of data processing services
and related support which will be two years, subject to an extension for another
one-year term upon advance notice from the receiving party, services related to
the Accident Department of TIC operated for the benefit of TPC will be two years
and payroll and human resources services to TPC which will be two years plus the
remaining portion of the calendar year in which such two-year expiration occurs.
The cost for the provision of each such transition service will reflect terms
consistent with the current cost allocation methodology (as may need to be
adjusted based on current standards); provided, any additional costs imposed by
a third party for the provision of a transition service will be allocated to the
party receiving such transition service. The receiving party may terminate the
provision of any transition service upon 60 days advance written notice to the
providing party. The parties further agree to develop, and the providing party
agrees to assist the receiving party (at the receiving party's expense) in
developing, their own internal capabilities in the future in order to reduce
such party's reliance on the other party for the provision of the transition
services following the Trigger Date. Each party will have the right to
reasonable audit rights for the transition services provided by the other party.
Section 9.15 Philanthropy; Charitable Contributions. Until the
Trigger Date, TPC shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue
to make contributions to the Citigroup Foundation and other charitable
organizations on a basis that is mutually agreed upon annually by Citigroup and
TPC and, to the extent
57
that any member of the Citigroup Affiliated Group (other than the Citigroup
Foundation to the extent that the same may be deemed to be a member of the
Citigroup Affiliated Group) makes philanthropic and charitable contributions on
behalf of TPC or any Subsidiary of TPC, upon the provision of reasonable written
notice, TPC shall reimburse Citigroup for all such contributions, the amount of
such reimbursement to be determined by Citigroup on a basis that is consistent
with the past cost allocation practices of the members of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group.
Section 9.16 Certain Employees of TPC. Until the Trigger Date,
TPC shall use its best efforts to cause the General Counsel of Citigroup or a
person designated by a General Counsel of Citigroup to hold the offices of
Assistant Secretary of TPC and Assistant General Counsel of TPC.
Section 9.17 Structured Settlements. The parties hereto agree
that all arrangements in existence as of the date hereof related to the purchase
of structured claims settlements by TPC or any of its Subsidiaries from TIC or
its subsidiaries, will continue, on the same economic terms as in existence on
the date hereof, until December 31, 2003. During the calendar year 2004, TPC and
any of its Subsidiaries will utilize TIC or its subsidiaries as its most
preferred provider of such structured settlement claims; provided, TIC or its
subsidiaries maintain competitive ratings and its product are competitively
priced.
Section 9.18 Right of First Offer.
(a) TPC Right to Provide Coverage. For a period of two years
following the Trigger Date, TPC shall have a right of first offer to provide
members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group with the types of property casualty
insurance coverage set forth on Schedule 9.18(a) hereto (as set forth on such
Schedule, as the same may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of
the parties, "TPC Provided P&C Coverage") it does not then provide to members of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group, upon such terms and conditions and at such rates
as prevailing in the market at the time such TPC Provided P&C Coverage is
initiated. During the period set forth in the preceding sentence, not less than
five Business Days prior to entering into an agreement or arrangement with a
party other than TPC for the provision of TPC Provided P&C Coverage, members of
the Citigroup Affiliated Group will present TPC, in writing, with the
opportunity to provide such TPC Provided P&C Coverage. From the date of receipt
of such notice, TPC shall have five Business Days to deliver an offer capable of
being accepted for the provision of such TPC Provided P&C Coverage. If an offer
is delivered by TPC within such five Business Day Period, Citigroup may either
accept or reject the offer; provided, however, that if Citigroup rejects the
offer it may not enter an agreement with another party (other than TPC) to
provide such TPC Provided P&C Coverage on substantially the same terms and
conditions and at substantially the same rates (or on
58
less favorable terms or more expensive rates) as reflected in the offer for the
remaining term of this Section 9.18(a). If no such offer is delivered by TPC
within such five Business Day period, Citigroup shall be free to enter into an
agreement with another carrier for the provision of such TPC Provided P&C
Coverage and TPC shall have no further rights pursuant to this Section 9.18(a)
with respect to such TPC Provided P&C Coverage.
(b) Citigroup Right to Provide Financial Services. For a
period of two years following the Trigger Date, Citigroup shall have a right of
first offer to provide TPC and its Subsidiaries with any financial services it
does not then provide to TPC and its Subsidiaries, upon such terms and
conditions and at such rates as prevailing in the market at the time such
services are provided. During the period set forth in the preceding sentence,
not less than five Business Days prior to entering into an agreement or
arrangement with a party other than Citigroup for the provision of financial
services, TPC shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, present Citigroup, in
writing, with the opportunity to provide such financial services. From the date
of receipt of such notice, Citigroup shall have five Business Days to deliver an
offer capable of being accepted for the provision of such financial services. If
an offer is delivered by Citigroup within such five Business Day Period, TPC may
either accept or reject the offer; provided, however, that if TPC rejects the
offer it may not enter an agreement with another party (other than Citigroup) to
provide such coverage on substantially the same terms and conditions and at
substantially the same rates (or on less favorable terms or more expensive
rates) as reflected in the offer for the remaining term of this Section 9.18(b).
If no such offer is delivered by Citigroup within such five Business Day period,
TPC shall be free to enter into an agreement with another entity for the
provision of such financial services and Citigroup shall have no further rights
pursuant to this Section 9.18(b) with respect to such financial services.
Section 9.19 Regulatory Approvals. To the extent that any
regulatory or other approvals shall be necessary to effect and perform any of
the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use their best
efforts to obtain such approvals prior to the date upon which not obtaining such
approvals would result in a default of such party's obligations hereunder. If
such approvals have not been obtained by such date, then each party hereto shall
not be deemed to be in default of its obligations hereunder so long as such
party is in good faith diligently using their best efforts to obtain such
approvals as soon as practicable. To the extent that any such regulatory
approval is not obtained within a reasonable period of time after such date,
Citigroup and TPC shall in good faith use their best efforts to find and effect
an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as
that contemplated by such provision.
59
Section 9.20 Charter Provision. TPC covenants to cause each of
its present and future direct and indirect Subsidiaries to take any and all
actions necessary to ensure continued compliance by TPC and its Subsidiaries
with its charter provisions. TPC shall notify Citigroup in writing as soon as
possible after becoming aware of any act or activity taken or proposed to be
taken by TPC or any of its Subsidiaries which resulted or would result in
non-compliance with its charter provisions and shall take or refrain from taking
all such actions as Citigroup shall in its sole discretion determine necessary
or desirable to prevent or remedy any such non-compliance.
Section 9.21 Access to Historical Records.
(a) Shared Historical Records. Following the Trigger Date,
Citigroup and TPC will retain the right to access the shared or commingled
historical records, including but not limited to, the books, records, and such
other records, files, information and/or data, or portions thereof (the
"Records"), related to the historical corporate association of TPC and TIC as
stored or maintained in the storage facilities identified on Schedule 9.21(a)
hereto (the "Storage Facilities"). Upon reasonable notice and at each party's
own expense, Citigroup (and its authorized representatives) and TPC (and its
authorized representatives) will be afforded access to the Records at reasonable
times and during normal business hours at the Storage Facilities, and each party
(and its authorized representatives) will be permitted, at its own expense, to
make abstracts from, or copies of, any such Records; provided, however, that
such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of Citigroup or
TPC, as the case may be. The parties hereto agree to jointly negotiate a
mutually acceptable agreement for the allocation of cost related to the storage
of the Records in the Storage Facilities and, following the Trigger Date, to
keep separate the records related to the independent operation of their
respective business from the Records. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the retention of and access to Records related to the tax
matters of TPC and TIC will be governed exclusively by the Amended and Restated
Tax Allocation Agreement. The provision of any Records shall not be deemed a
waiver of any Privilege and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to maintain
and protect such Privileges with reasonable prior notice and in consultation
with the other parties.
(b) Records Stemming from Affiliate Relationship. For a period
of one year following the Trigger Date, subject to an extension of up to five
years upon the demonstration of a legal or regulatory requirement for such
extension by the requesting party, Citigroup and TPC will retain the right to
access such other records which exist resulting from Citigroup's and TPC's
relationship as affiliates. Upon reasonable notice and at each party's own
expense, Citigroup (and its authorized representatives) and TPC (and its
authorized representatives) will be afforded access to such records at
reasonable times and during normal business hours and each party
60
(and its authorized representatives) will be permitted, at its own expense, to
make abstracts from, or copies of, any such records; provided, access to such
records may be denied if (i) Citigroup or TPC, as the case may be, cannot
demonstrate a legitimate business need, for the one year period following the
Trigger Date, or a legal or regulatory requirement, for the extension period
described above, for such access to the records, (ii) the information contained
in the records is subject to any applicable confidentiality commitment to a
third party, (iii) a bona fide competitive reason exists to deny such access,
(iv) the records are to be used for the initiation of, or as part of, a suit or
claim against the other party, (v) such access would serve as a waiver of any
Privilege afforded to such record, and (vi) such access will unreasonably
disrupt the normal operations of Citigroup or TPC, as the case may be.
Section 9.22 Promotional Agreements. All mutual promotional
arrangements existing on the date hereof shall remain in full force and effect
until the Trigger Date. Following the Trigger Date, additional, mutual
promotional arrangements shall be entered into only upon the mutual agreement of
the parties; provided, however, in 2003 Citigroup shall allocate to TPC fifty
percent (50%) of the number of Masters tickets allocated to TPC by Citigroup in
2002 (subject to a pro rata reduction on the basis of the number of Master
tickets allocated to Citigroup pursuant to its promotion of the Masters
Tournament) at cost reasonably allocable to such tickets as determined by
Citigroup.
Section 9.23 Joint Internet Marketing. Until the Trigger Date,
Citigroup and TPC agree to review and discuss the applicability of any
arrangements in existence as of the date hereof whereby Citigroup and TPC
jointly market their products and services on the Internet; provided, that such
review and discussion shall at all times take into consideration commercially
reasonable standards relating to such businesses. Following the Trigger Date,
such joint Internet marketing arrangements shall be entered into only upon the
mutual agreement of the parties.
Section 9.24 Internet Domain Names. Prior to the Trigger Date,
Citigroup shall transfer to TPC, subject to feasibility and TPC's expense, the
"Class B Space" and TPC shall cease to use the "Class C Space," and, as
appropriate, transfer the "Class C Space" to Citigroup.
Section 9.25 Litigation and Settlement Cooperation. Prior to
the Trigger Date, Citigroup will use its reasonable best efforts to include TPC
and its Subsidiaries in the settlement of any threatened or filed third-party
action, claim or dispute which jointly involves a member of the Citigroup
Affiliated Group and TPC or any of its Subsidiaries ("Third Party Action");
provided, however, that TPC shall be responsible for its share of any such
settlement obligation and any incremental cost (as reasonably determined by
Citigroup) to Citigroup of including TPC in such settlement. The parties agree
to cooperate in the defense and settlement of any
61
Third-Party Action which primarily relates to matters, actions, events or
occurrences taking place prior to the Trigger Date. In addition, both TPC and
Citigroup will use their reasonable best efforts (i) to make the necessary
filings to permit each Party to defend its own interests in any Third Party
Action as of the Trigger Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter and (ii) to
cooperate with one another to ensure that information that has been generated in
the course of the defense of the Third Party Actions is transferred to the party
requiring such information either before the Trigger Date or within four months
after the Trigger Date.
ARTICLE X
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Section 10.1 Negotiation. (a) In the event of any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach,
termination or validity thereof (a "Dispute"), upon the written notice
("Notice") of either party hereto, the parties shall attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the Dispute; provided, however, that this Article X
shall not apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of Article III
of this Agreement, for which each party hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Federal or State Courts in New York, New York (the "New York
Courts"). Each party unconditionally and irrevocably waives any objections which
it may have now or in the future to the jurisdiction of the New York Courts over
such Article III disputes including, without limitations, objections by reason
of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum.
(b) If the parties are unable for any reason to resolve a
Dispute within 30 days after the receipt of the Notice, then either party may
submit the Dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof as the
exclusive means to resolve such Dispute.
Section 10.2 Arbitration.
(a) Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof
shall, at the request of either party, be finally settled by arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its
Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (the "Rules") except as modified
herein. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York.
(b) There shall be three arbitrators of whom each party shall
select one within 15 days of respondent's receipt of claimant's demand for
arbitration. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator
to serve as Chair of the tribunal within 15 days of the selection of the second
arbitrator. If any arbitrator has
62
not been appointed within the time limits specified herein, such appointment
shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Rules upon the written request
of either party within 15 days of such request. The hearing shall be held no
later than 120 days following the appointment of the third arbitrator.
(c) The arbitral tribunal shall permit prehearing discovery
that is relevant to the subject matter of the Dispute taking into account the
parties' desire that the arbitration be conducted expeditiously and cost
effectively. All discovery shall be completed within 60 days of the appointment
of the third arbitrator.
(d) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to
deprive a court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction,
pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and
the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as
may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall
full authority to grant provisional remedies, to direct the parties to request
that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by
such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the
arbitral tribunal's orders to that effect. For the purpose of any provisional
relief contemplated hereunder, the parties hereby submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts. Each party unconditionally and irrevocably
waives any objections which they may have now or in the future to the
jurisdiction of the New York Courts including without limitation objections by
reason of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum.
(e) The award shall be in writing, shall state the findings of
fact and conclusions of law on which it is based, shall be final and binding and
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims,
counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. The
arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Section 1-15, and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.
(f) The parties will bear equally all fees, costs,
disbursements and other expenses of the arbitration, and each party shall be
solely responsible for all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses
incurred in the preparation and prosecution of their own case; provided that in
the event that a party fails to comply with the orders or decision of the
arbitral tribunal, then such noncomplying party shall be liable for all costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) incurred by the
other party in its effort to obtain either an order to compel, or an enforcement
of an award, from a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority, for good
cause shown, to extend any of the time periods in this arbitration provision
either on its own authority or upon the request of any of the parties. The
arbitral tribunal shall be
63
authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at
commercial rates. The arbitral tribunal shall have no authority to award
punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing parties
actual damages. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to order specific
performance or to issue any other type of temporary or permanent injunction.
(h) All notices by one party to the other in connection with
the arbitration shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1
hereof, except that all notices made pursuant to this Article X must be made by
personal delivery or receipted overnight courier. This agreement to arbitrate
shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each party. This
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties shall remain in full
force and effect pending the award in any arbitration proceeding hereunder.
Section 10.3 Confidentiality. Except to the extent necessary
in connection with arbitration of any Dispute under this Agreement, a court
challenge to the arbitration contemplated by Section 10.1 hereof or for
enforcement of an arbitral award, information concerning (i) the existence of an
arbitration pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, (ii) any documentary or other
evidence given by a party or a witness in the arbitration or (iii) the
arbitration award may not be disclosed by the tribunal administrator, the
arbitrators, any party or its counsel to any person or entity not connected with
the proceeding unless required by law or by a court or competent regulatory
body, and then only to the extent of disclosing what is legally required. A
party filing any document arising out of or relating to any arbitration in court
shall seek from the court confidential treatment for all such document.
ARTICLE XI

Section 11.2 Binding Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto or their successors in interest, except as expressly otherwise provided
herein.
Section 11.3 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of
the several articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for reference
only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 11.4 Remedies. Without limiting the rights of each
party hereto to pursue any and all other legal and equitable rights available to
such party for the other parties' failure to perform their obligations under
this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law
for any failure to perform their obligations hereunder would be inadequate and
that each of them, respectively, shall be entitled to specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, TPC acknowledges and agrees
that (a) its covenants and obligations hereunder are special, unique and relate
to matters of extraordinary importance to Travelers, that in the event TPC fails
to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations under this agreement
Citigroup will be irreparably harmed and that no remedy at law will provide
adequate relief to Citigroup and (b) Citigroup shall be entitled to a temporary
restraining order and temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable
relief in case of any failure by TPC to perform, observe or discharge any of its
covenants or obligations hereunder and without the necessity of proving actual
damages. The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude
assertion by any party hereto of any other rights or the seeking of any other
remedies, either legal or equitable, against any other party hereto.
Section 11.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with, and the rights and duties of the parties shall
be governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law other than Section 5-1401 of the General
Obligations Law of the State of New York.
66
Section 11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 11.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more
of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any
reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every
other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in
any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and
privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law. To the extent that any such provision is so held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Citigroup and TPC shall in good faith use
their best efforts to find and effect an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.
Section 11.8 Confidential Information. All information
provided by either party shall, including information provided pursuant to the
1996 Agreement, except if the purpose for which such information is furnished
pursuant to this Agreement contemplates such disclosure and except for
disclosure to the other members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group by Citigroup,
be kept strictly confidential and, unless otherwise required by law, rule or
regulation, neither party will disclose such information in any manner
whatsoever until such information otherwise becomes generally available to the
public; provided, however, this Section 11.8 shall not apply to information
relating to or disclosed in the IPO S-1 filed in connection with the Initial
Public Offering and Concurrent Offering. Any information furnished to Citigroup
by TPC pursuant to Sections 6.1(h), 6.1(k), 6.1(l), 6.2(c), 6.3 and 6.4(b)
hereof shall be used solely for financial reporting, planning, control and
record keeping purposes of the members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group.
Section 11.9 Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable
law, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written
agreement executed by the parties hereto.
Section 11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any
schedules or exhibits annexed hereto, embodies the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. There are no restrictions, promises, representations,
warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or
referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter,
including the 1996 Agreement. TPC, on behalf of TIGHI, and Citigroup hereby
agree and acknowledge that the 1996 Agreement is terminated upon the execution
of this Agreement.
67
Section 11.11 No Assignment. Except as otherwise provided for
in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations of any party hereto may be assigned by such party without the prior
written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Citigroup or TIC
may assign all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder to one or more
other members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group without the prior consent of
TPC.
Section 11.12 Recapitalization, Dilution Adjustments, etc.. In
the event that any capital stock or other securities are issued in respect of,
in exchange for, or in substitution of, any shares of Common Stock by reason of
any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, sale of
assets, distribution to stockholders or combination of the shares of Common
Stock then, in each such case, appropriate adjustments shall be made so as to
fairly and equitably preserve, as far as practicable, the original rights and
obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement.
Section 11.13 Other Intercompany Agreements. In connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the agreements listed on
Schedule 11.13 hereto describe all of the agreements, identified as of the date
hereof, between members of the Citigroup Affiliated Group and TPC and its
Subsidiaries in effect as of the date hereof. Prior to the Trigger Date, the
parties hereto agree to review such scheduled agreements, review and identify
any other additional intercompany agreements in effect as of the date hereof and
to cooperate to take such further action as may be necessary for the
termination, alteration or amendment of such agreements in order for such
agreements to be consistent with, and to provide for, the implementation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 11.14 Further Actions. Each party hereto shall, on
notice of request from any other party hereto, take such further action not
specifically required hereby at the expense of the requesting party, as the
requesting party may reasonably request for the implementation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 11.15 Disclosure Schedules. Prior to the execution of
this Agreement, the parties hereto prepared, provided and attached draft
disclosures schedules corresponding to the relevant sections of this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree to supplement and amend such draft disclosure schedules
to correct inaccuracies, omissions or oversights prior to April 30, 2002 in
order to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement.
Section 11.16 Further Assurances with Respect to
Reorganization. At any time prior to the Trigger Date, each of the parties to
this Agreement shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed,
acknowledged and
68
delivered all such further conveyances, bills of sale, deeds, endorsements,
assignments, assumptions, releases and other instruments, and shall take such
further actions, as may be otherwise reasonably required to (i) effectively
convey and transfer to, and vest in, TPC and put TPC in possession of any assets
and liabilities or contractual rights and obligations primarily related to the
P&C Business which were not transferred or conveyed pursuant to the Applicable
Restructuring Documents listed on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto and (ii) effectively
convey and transfer to, and vest in, the Citigroup Affiliated Group and put the
Citigroup Affiliated Group in possession of any assets and liabilities or
contractual rights and obligations not primarily related to the P&C Business
which were not transferred or conveyed pursuant to the Applicable Restructuring
Documents listed on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the
parties hereto agree to review the items listed on Schedule 11.16, transfer such
contractual rights and obligations, in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.16, to Citigroup or develop appropriate indemnification arrangements
in connection with the contractual rights and obligations, in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 11.16, identified on Schedule 11.16. In
connection with the foregoing, any conveyance or transfer of contractual rights
or obligations without balance sheet impact or assets and liabilities with
balance sheet impact (x) shall be made with all corresponding contractual rights
and obligations or assets and liabilities, as the case may be, that are
primarily related thereto and (y) the recipient or transferor, as the case may
be, shall pay to the other party, as appropriate, in order to ensure that there
is no balance sheet impact (if any would otherwise would have occurred) after
giving effect to any transfer pursuant to this Section 11.16, cash in an amount
equal to the (1) net book value of any assets or (2) stated value of liabilities
transferred, in each case, net of any corresponding assets and liabilities so
transferred. The parties hereto agree to execute any transaction contemplated in
this Section 11.16 pursuant to a document reasonably satisfactory to both
parties, including a schedule specifically identifying the contractual rights
and obligations or assets and liabilities to be transferred.
Section 11.17 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement shall convey any rights upon any person or entity which is not a party
or a permitted assignee of a party to this Agreement.
Section 11.18 Drafting of Language. Each of Citigroup and TPC
agrees that the drafting of the language contained in this Agreement was a
cooperative effort, that each party was equally responsible for such drafting
and that it would be inequitable for either party to be deemed the "drafter" of
any specific language contained herein pursuant to any judicial doctrine or
presumption relating thereto.

Agreement to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
