(d) If an indemnification obligation of any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement arises in respect of an adjustment that results in an offsetting deduction or other item for the Indemnified Party which would not otherwise be allowable but for such adjustment, the amount of any Indemnity Payment shall be reduced to take into account any actual Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnified Party’s Group with respect to such deduction or other item, determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any deductions attributable to the Indemnity Payment as the last items claimed for any taxable period including after the utilization of any available Tax Attributes).

(e) Pluto and Spinco and the members of their respective Groups shall discharge their obligations under Section 2.01 by paying the relevant amount within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. Any such demand shall include the amount due under Section 2.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Pluto or Spinco disputes in good faith the fact or amount of its obligation under Section 2.01, then no payment of the amount in dispute shall be required until any such good faith dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 12; provided, however, that any amount not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor shall bear interest as provided in Section 13.

Section 2.03. Limitation on Liability for Non-Income Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Company shall not be required to pay, indemnify or hold harmless the other Company for any non-income Taxes pursuant to this Section 2:

(a) to the extent such non-income Taxes were taken into account as liabilities in the determination of the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement; or

(b) arising from any individual claim (or series of related claims arising out of the same facts or circumstances) if the amount of such non-income Taxes paid or payable with respect to such claim or series of claims is less than $50,000.

(a) Apportionment. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall elect to close the taxable period of each Spinco Group member as of the end of the Distribution Date, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that if applicable Tax Law does not permit a member of the Spinco Group to close its taxable period at such time, the Tax attributable to the operations of such member of the Spinco Group for any Pre-Distribution Period shall be determined using the Apportionment Method.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.07(a), any and all Taxes reported, or required to be reported, on a Spinco Separate Return, or a Tax Return of a member of the Pluto Group to the extent attributable to a member of the Spinco Group, under Section 951(a) or Section 951A(a) of the Code (“Spinco Subpart F Taxes”) that, in each case, are attributable to Tax Items for a Pre-Distribution Period (determined as though the taxable period of each controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) giving rise to Tax Items ended on the Distribution Date) shall be allocated to Pluto, and any Spinco Subpart F Taxes that, in each case, are attributable to Tax Items for a Post-Distribution Period (determined as though the taxable period of each controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) giving rise to Tax

Items ended on the Distribution Date) shall be allocated to Spinco; provided, further, that for purposes of determining the amount of Spinco Subpart F Taxes allocated to Pluto above, (i) the portion of any Spinco Subpart F Taxes allocated to Pluto shall not exceed the amount of Taxes that the Spinco Pre-Combination Group would have been required to pay (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account all items of deduction and credit which would have been allowed to members of the Spinco Pre-Combination Group) in respect of inclusions under Section 951(a) and 951A(a) of the Code, respectively, if (x) the Spinco Pre-Combination Group were a stand-alone affiliated group of corporations the domestic members of which joined in the filing of a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax return and (y) the taxable period of each member of the Spinco Pre-Combination Group ended on the Distribution Date, and (ii) the “qualified business asset investment” (as such term is used in Section 951A(d) of the Code) of each relevant controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) for a Pre-Distribution Period shall be determined consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.951A-3(f) (as though the taxable period of such controlled foreign corporation ended on the Distribution Date).

(c) Next Day Rule. For all purposes under this Agreement, Pluto and Spinco hereby agree that any transaction with respect to Spinco or the Spinco Group occurring on the Distribution Date but after the Distribution Effective Time (other than any transaction occurring in the ordinary course of business) shall be treated for all Tax purposes (to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, including Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b) (the “Next Day Rule”)) as occurring at the beginning of the day following the Distribution Date.

Section 4.01. Pluto Responsibility. Pluto has the exclusive obligation and right to prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed:

(a) Joint Returns;

(b) Pluto Separate Returns; and

(c) Spinco Separate Returns that relate solely to any Pre-Distribution Period, provided that with respect to any such Spinco Separate Return that is prepared, or caused to be prepared, by Pluto but that is required to be filed by a member of the Spinco Group under applicable Tax Law, Pluto shall provide such Tax Return to Spinco prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extension periods), and Spinco shall execute and file, or cause to be executed and filed, such Tax Return; provided further that if Spinco promptly delivers to Pluto a written notice of objection stating that Spinco has determined in good faith that it is not permitted to file such Tax Return under applicable Law, the Companies shall resolve any Dispute under Section 12 of this Agreement. In the event that the Dispute is not resolved before the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed reflecting Spinco’s objection on the Dispute, and (i) if required, an amended Tax Return shall be filed after the resolution of the Dispute that reflects the resolution of the Dispute and (ii) the Parties shall make appropriate adjustments to any Indemnity Payment due or previously paid to reflect such resolution.

Section 4.02. Spinco Responsibility. Spinco shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to members of the Spinco Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Spinco Separate Return) other than those Tax Returns which Pluto is required to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, under Section 4.01.

Section 4.03. Tax Returns for Certain Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 4.01 and Section 4.02, the Party responsible, or whose subsidiary is responsible, for filing any Tax Return with respect to any Separation Transfer Taxes under applicable Law shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

Section 4.04. Tax Payments for Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Return, the Company required to file such Tax Return under applicable Law shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount shown as due on such Tax Return to the applicable Tax Authority on or before the relevant Payment Date (and provide notice and proof of payment to the other Company in the case of a Joint Return). If any portion of such payment is in respect of Taxes for which an Indemnifying Party has an indemnity obligation under Section 2, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount required to be so indemnified to the Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 2.

Section 4.05. Tax Reporting Practices.

(a) Pluto General Rule. Except as provided in Section 4.05(c), Pluto shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, any Tax Return described in Section 4.01 in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Pluto.

(b) Spinco General Rule. Except as provided in Section 4.05(c), with respect to any Tax Return for a Straddle Period that Spinco has the obligation and right to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, under Section 4.02, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used with respect to the Tax Return of the relevant member(s) of the Spinco Group in question (unless there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices or unless there is no adverse effect to Pluto), and, to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event that there is no reasonable basis for the use such Past Practices or there is no adverse effect to Pluto), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Spinco. Spinco shall not amend, refile or otherwise take any action with respect to any Tax Return with respect to one or more members of the Spinco Pre-Combination Group previously filed with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period without the prior written consent of Pluto, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Reporting of Separation Transactions. The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return shall be consistent with the treatment thereof in the Ruling Requests, the Tax Opinions/Rulings or as set forth on Schedule A, as applicable, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed.

Section 4.06. Consolidated or Combined Tax Returns. Spinco will, and will cause its respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to elect and join in filing any Joint Returns that Pluto determines are required to be filed or that Pluto chooses to file pursuant to Section 4.01(a).

Section 4.07. Right to Review Tax Returns.

(a) General. The Responsible Company with respect to any material Tax Return shall make the portion of such Tax Return and related workpapers that are relevant to the determination of the other Company’s rights or obligations under this Agreement available for review by the other Company, if requested, (i) to the extent such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting Party would reasonably be expected to be liable, (ii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes and the requesting Party would reasonably be expected to be liable in whole or in part for any additional Taxes owing as a result of adjustments to the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax Return or (iii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting Party would reasonably be expected to have a claim for Tax Benefits under this Agreement. The Responsible Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such portion of such Tax Return available for review as required under this Section 4.07(a) sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing of such Tax Return to provide the other Company with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Return. The Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of the review of such Tax Return, but if the Companies are unable to resolve such dispute, the resolution of such dispute shall be governed by Section 12 of this Agreement. In the event that such dispute is not resolved before the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed on the basis prepared by the Responsible Company (as revised to reflect any comments made by the other Company which are not the subject of a dispute), and (i) if required, an amended Tax Return shall be filed after the resolution of such dispute that reflects the resolution of such dispute and (ii) the Parties shall make appropriate adjustments to any Indemnity Payment due or previously paid to reflect such resolution.

(b) Material Tax Returns. For purposes of Section 4.07(a), a Tax Return is “material” if, and only if, it could reasonably be expected to reflect (i) Tax liability equal to or in excess of $1 million, (ii) a Tax credit or credits equal to or in excess of $1 million or (iii) a Tax loss or losses equal to or in excess of $5 million, in each case with respect to the requesting Party.

Section 4.08. Spinco Carrybacks and Claims for Refund. Spinco hereby agrees that, unless Pluto consents in writing, (i) Spinco shall not file, or cause to be filed, any Adjustment Request with respect to any Joint Return, (ii) Spinco shall make, or cause to be made, any available elections to waive the right to claim in any Pre-Distribution Period with respect to any Joint Return any Spinco Carryback arising in a Post-Distribution Period; and (iii) Spinco shall not make, or cause to be made, any affirmative election to claim any Spinco Carryback described in clause (ii).

Section 4.09. Apportioned Tax Attributes.

(a) Pluto shall in good faith advise Spinco in writing of the amount, if any, of Tax Attributes which Pluto determines, from time to time (including as a result of any adjustment on audit), shall be allocated or apportioned to the Spinco Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law, provided that this Section 4.09 shall not be construed as obligating Pluto to undertake any such determination as to the amount, allocation or apportionment of any Apportioned Tax Attribute. Spinco agrees that it shall accept Pluto’s allocation or apportionment of Apportioned Tax Attributes (and Spinco and all members of the Spinco Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance therewith) unless such allocation or apportionment is manifestly unreasonable or manifestly erroneous.

(b) Spinco may request that Pluto undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any Apportioned Tax Attribute to be allocated or apportioned to the Spinco Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law, if such allocation or apportionment was not determined by Pluto pursuant to Section 4.09(a). If Pluto agrees to undertake such determination, Pluto shall in good faith advise Spinco in writing of the amount, if any, of any Apportioned Tax Attributes which Pluto determines shall be allocated or apportioned to the Spinco Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law. Spinco agrees that it shall accept Pluto’s allocation or apportionment of Apportioned Tax Attributes (and Spinco and all members of the Spinco Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance therewith) unless such allocation or apportionment is manifestly unreasonable or manifestly erroneous. Spinco shall reimburse Pluto for all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Pluto Group in connection with such determination requested by Spinco within ten (10) Business Days after receiving an invoice from Pluto therefor.

(c) To the extent that Pluto determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to undertake a determination requested by Spinco pursuant to Section 4.09(b), or does not otherwise advise Spinco of its intention to undertake such determination within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of such request, Spinco shall be permitted to undertake such determination at its own cost and expense and shall notify Pluto of its determination, which determination shall be binding upon Pluto, unless such determination is manifestly unreasonable or manifestly erroneous.

(d) Nothing in this Section 4.09 shall limit a Company’s rights and obligations under Section 7.01.

SECTION 5. TAX REFUNDS.

Section 5.01. Tax Benefits. Each Company shall be entitled to any Tax Benefit (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which it is liable hereunder.

(vi) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of Spinco Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of Spinco Capital Stock into another class of Spinco Capital Stock).

For this purpose, Spinco has received Legal Comfort if, prior to taking a Restricted Action:

(i) Spinco has requested that Pluto obtain a Subsequent Ruling in accordance with Section 6.04 and Pluto has received such a Subsequent Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to Pluto, acting in good faith; or

(ii) Spinco has provided Pluto with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Pluto, acting in good faith (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Pluto may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion and Pluto may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to Pluto if Pluto does so acting in good faith).

Section 6.04. Procedures Regarding Legal Comfort.

(a) Cooperation. In addition to any obligations to cooperate contained in Section 7.01, if Spinco notifies Pluto that it desires to take a Restricted Action, Pluto and Spinco shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain Legal Comfort with respect to the Restricted Action, unless Pluto shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Legal Comfort.

With respect to any Subsequent Ruling or Subsequent Ruling Request, Spinco shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of Spinco to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control).

Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.336-2(h)(1)(i) and 1.336-2(j), Pluto shall make a timely protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and any similar provision of state or local Tax Law (and any related elections as determined by Pluto) with respect to the Distribution (collectively, a “Section 336(e) Election”). If and to the extent that Tax-Free Status does not apply with respect to the Distribution and Pluto is liable under Section 2.01(a) for any resulting Tax-Related Losses (including any Taxes attributable to the Section 336(e) Election), then, to that extent, Pluto will be entitled to annual payments from Spinco of the actual Tax Benefit of the Spinco Group arising from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election, determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any deductions attributable to the step-up in tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election as the last items claimed for any taxable period including after the utilization of any available Tax Attributes).

Section 6.06. Tax Grants.

Xxxxxx LLC (together, the “PFAM Entities”), which written notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the proposed transaction(s) and the purposes thereof, (ii) Spinco shall cooperate in good faith with Pluto in considering any alternative transaction(s) proposed by Pluto in writing with respect to the PFAM Entities (including, without limitation, a delay in implementing the proposed transaction(s)) for purposes of minimizing potential taxes that could be imposed pursuant to articles 49 and 50a of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz), and (iii) if Pluto has proposed an alternative transaction(s) with respect to the PFAM Entities but Pluto and Spinco have not agreed that Spinco will implement such alternative transaction(s) (with such changes as Pluto and Spinco may agree), then, if and only if (x) such alternative transaction(s) proposed by Pluto would not put Spinco in a worse position than Spinco would be in if Spinco were to implement the transaction(s) as proposed by Spinco as determined by Spinco exercising its reasonable judgment in good faith, and (y) Pluto agrees to indemnify Spinco for the incremental out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Spinco as a result of such alternative transaction(s),

Spinco shall implement such alternative transaction(s) with respect to the PFAM Entities as proposed by Pluto; provided, that Spinco shall not be required to take any action specified in clauses (i)-(iii) of this Section 6.08 if Pluto receives written confirmation from the applicable German Tax Authority that such Tax Authority will not impose tax on Pluto or any of its Affiliates pursuant to articles 49 and 50a of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz) with respect to the PFAM Entities.

SECTION 7. ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION.

Section 7.01. Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Companies shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) in a timely manner with each other and with each other’s agents and advisors, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Companies and their Affiliates including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed, (v) obtaining a Subsequent Ruling or any supplemental rulings with respect to the Ruling or any Subsequent Ruling and (vi) minimizing or mitigating any Separation Transfer Taxes or Combination Transfer Taxes. Such cooperation shall include making all Pre-Distribution Tax Records in their possession relating to the other Company and its Affiliates available to such other Company in a timely manner as provided in Section 8. Each of the Companies shall also make available in a timely manner to the other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Companies or their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. In fulfilling its obligations under this Section 7.01(a) with respect to the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, each Party shall use its reasonable efforts to respond to requests made by the other Party in a manner that permits such other Party to prepare and file such Tax Return consistent with the past practices of such other Party, including as to the time of filing of such Tax Return, as communicated to the first Party.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.01(a), Pluto shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) in a timely manner with Spinco and with its agents and advisors, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with (i) maintaining the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution, the Spinco Cash Distribution, the Pluto Cash Distribution, the Distribution and the transactions described in Schedule A, (ii) maintaining any arrangement with respect to any Specified-Post Distribution Matter and (iii) complying with the terms of any Tax Grant. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation (w) at Pluto’s cost and expense making available (in electronic versions) copies of all Tax Opinions/Rulings (in a complete and unredacted form) and other written advice relied upon in making the determination that the transactions listed on Schedule A were free from Tax to the extent set forth therein, (x) allowing reasonable access to Pluto’s internal personnel and (y) beginning in the

quarter in which the Combination occurs and ending with the quarter in which the second anniversary of the Combination occurs, Pluto and Pluto’s outside advisors’ (including any accounting firms or legal counsel that advised Pluto in connection with the Separation Plan, the Specified Post-Distribution Matters or any Tax Grant), at Pluto’s cost and expense, participating in one telephonic meeting with Spinco per quarter (each not to exceed three (3) hours in duration) in which Pluto, such advisors and Spinco shall discuss the matters described in the previous sentence on the basis of an agenda, discussion points and/or questions submitted by Spinco no later than two (2) Business Days before such meeting and (z) at Spinco’s cost and expense, allowing reasonable access to outside advisors, including any accounting firms or legal counsel that advised Pluto in connection with the Separation Plan or advised on establishing the arrangements with respect to any of the matters described in the previous sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, Pluto does not waive any rights it is otherwise entitled to under this Agreement by reason of Pluto’s cooperation (or the cooperation of its Affiliates, agents and advisors) under this Section 7.01(b). Spinco acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to use any cooperation given by Pluto or its Affiliates, agents or advisors pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) as a defense (and hereby waives any such defense) against any claim for indemnification made by Pluto pursuant to this Agreement (including any such defense based on relative fault, negligence, mitigation or otherwise).

(c) In the event that a member of the Pluto Group, on the one hand, or a member of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer Pricing Adjustment, the Companies shall cooperate pursuant to this Section 7 to seek any competent authority relief that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment.

(d) Any information or documents provided under this Section 7 shall be kept confidential by the Company receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) no Company shall be required to provide the other Company or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information or procedures that relate to Spinco, the business or assets of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate and (ii) in no event shall a Company be required to provide the other Company or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that a Company determines that the provision of any information to the other Company could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 7 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 7.02. Delayed Market Tax Costs. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) in a timely manner with each other and with each other’s agents and advisors, including accounting firms and legal counsel, to eliminate or minimize any Delayed Market Tax Costs, including with respect to the structure or terms of any Delayed Market Transaction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.02 shall require or permit any Party to take or fail to take any action that is inconsistent with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

SECTION 8. TAX RECORDS.

Section 8.01. Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Pluto shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods (such Tax Records “Pre-Distribution Tax Records”), for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Pre-Distribution Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company reasonably determines that any Pre-Distribution Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Company agrees, then such first Company may dispose of such Pre-Distribution Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Pre-Distribution Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such sixty (60) Business Day period, all or any part of such Pre-Distribution Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, Spinco determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Pre-Distribution Tax Records, then Spinco may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon ninety (90) days’ prior notice to Pluto and Pluto shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such sixty (60) Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Pre-Distribution Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.02. Access to Pre-Distribution Tax Records. The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice, all Pre-Distribution Tax Records (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in each case, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store such Pre-Distribution Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement. The Company seeking access to such Pre-Distribution Tax Records shall bear all reasonable third-party costs and expenses associated with such access, including any professional fees.

Section 8.03. Preservation of Privilege. No member of the Spinco Group shall provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing as of the date hereof to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of Pluto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that after the Combination, Spinco shall have the right to provide access, copies or disclosure of such documentation to its advisors so long as such documentation maintains its status as Privileged.

SECTION 9. TAX CONTESTS.

Section 9.01. Notice. A Party shall provide prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Tax Contest or written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding of which it becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to (i) obligate the other Party to make an Indemnity Payment or (ii) cause the other Party or any of its subsidiaries to incur any Taxes for which it is not indemnified under this Agreement; provided that the failure by an Party to give notice under this Section 9.01 shall not relieve the other Party’s of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the such other Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters.

Section 9.02. Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Pluto Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Pluto shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to (w) any Joint Return, (x) any member of the Pluto Group, (y) any Tax-Related Losses and (z) any member of the Spinco Pre-Combination Group relating solely to a Pre-Distribution taxable period (a “Pluto Tax Contest”). Pluto shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any Pluto Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent any Pluto Tax Contest is reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnity obligation of Spinco under this Agreement, and, in addition to any obligations to cooperate contained in Section 7:

(i) Pluto shall keep Spinco informed in a timely manner of all material developments and events relating to such Pluto Tax Contest;

(ii) at its own cost and expense, Spinco shall have the right to participate (but not to control) the defense of any such Pluto Tax Contest other than any such Pluto Tax Contest relating to a Joint Return; and

(iii) Pluto shall not settle or compromise any such Pluto Tax Contest, other than any such Pluto Tax Contest relating to a Joint Return, without Spinco prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Spinco Control. Subject to Section 9.02(a), Spinco shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group relating to any Post-Distribution Period (a “Spinco Tax Contest”); provided, however, that to the extent that any such Spinco Tax Contest is reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnity obligation of Pluto under this Agreement, and, in addition to any obligations to cooperate contained in Section 7,

(i) Spinco shall keep Pluto informed in a timely manner of all material developments and events relating to such Spinco Tax Contest;

(ii) at its own cost and expense, Pluto shall have the right to participate (but not to control) the defense of any such Spinco Tax Contest; and

(iii) Spinco shall not settle or compromise any such Spinco Tax Contest, without Pluto’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Each Party shall bear its own expenses in the course of any Tax Contest, other than expenses included in the definition of Tax-Related Losses.

(d) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Spinco Group shall execute and deliver to Pluto (or such member of the Pluto Group as Pluto shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Pluto (or such designee) in connection with any Pluto Tax Contest described in this Section 9. Each member of the Pluto Group shall execute and deliver to Spinco (or such member of the Spinco Group as Spinco shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Spinco (or such designee) in connection with any Spinco Tax Contest described in this Section 9.

SECTION 10. EFFECTIVE DATE.

Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be effective as of the Distribution Time.

SECTION 11. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants contained in this Agreement, indemnification obligations and liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive the Distribution Time and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 12. DISAGREEMENTS.

Section 12.01. General. In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to whether a Tax liability is a liability of the Pluto Group or the Spinco Group (a “Dispute”), the Tax departments of each Group shall work together in good faith to resolve such Dispute within thirty (30) days.

Section 12.02. Escalation. If the Tax departments of each Group are unable to resolve a Dispute within the time period specified in Section 12.01, then the Dispute (other than a Technical Dispute) upon written request of either Company, will be escalated for resolution according to Section 7.02 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 12.03. Referral to Tax Advisor for Technical Disputes.

(a) Selection of Tax Advisor. If the Parties are not able to resolve a Technical Dispute within the time period specified in Section 12.01, then the Technical Dispute will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Companies to act as an expert in order to resolve the Technical Dispute. In the event that the Companies are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor promptly under the circumstances, the Companies shall promptly under the circumstances each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized law or accounting firm (each, a “Preliminary Tax Advisor”), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall promptly under the circumstances jointly select a Tax Advisor free of conflicts on behalf of the Companies to resolve the Technical Dispute.

(b) Procedure of Tax Advisor.

(i) Promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days, after joint engagement of the Tax Advisor, Pluto and Spinco shall provide the Tax Advisor with a copy of this Agreement and an agreed statement (the “Agreed Statement”) describing the Technical Dispute. Each of Pluto and Spinco shall simultaneously deliver to the Tax Advisor and to the other Company a written submission of its final position with respect to the Technical Dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days of the delivery to the Tax Advisor of the Agreed Statement. Each of Pluto and Spinco shall thereafter be entitled to submit a rebuttal to the other’s submission, which rebuttals shall be delivered simultaneously to the Tax Advisor and to the other Company within fifteen (15) Business Days of the delivery of the Companies’ initial submissions to the Tax Advisor and to each other. Neither Company may make (nor permit any of its Affiliates or representatives to make) any additional submission to the Tax Advisor or otherwise communicate with the Tax Advisor without providing the other Company a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication.

(ii) The Tax Advisor shall have forty-five (45) days following submission of the Companies’ rebuttals to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 12.03 and to deliver its reasoned written determination resolving the Technical Dispute, including (to the extent relevant) a reasonably detailed explanation and/or computation supporting such determination. The Tax Advisor shall resolve the Technical Dispute submitted to it based solely on the factual information provided to the Tax Advisor by the Companies pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and not by independent investigation or review of questions of fact, although the Tax Advisor shall be entitled to engage in independent review and analysis of questions of Tax Law and exercise judgment with respect thereto.

(iii) The determination of the Tax Advisor in respect of a Technical Dispute shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Companies and not subject to appeal by either of the Companies, and judgment thereof may be entered or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In resolving Technical Disputes, the Tax Advisor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(iv) Following receipt of the Tax Advisor’s written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the Technical Dispute, the Companies shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor.

(v) Each Company shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the Technical Dispute to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Companies.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, (A) any Dispute that is not a Technical Dispute shall not be subject to Section 12.03 and (B) the Tax Advisor’s authority shall be limited to resolving Technical Disputes and the Tax Advisor shall not have the authority to resolve any Dispute as to the interpretation of this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement, including any Dispute as to the interpretation of this Section 12.03.

Section 12.04. Certain Interactions. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the rights of a Company under Section 15.15.

SECTION 13. LATE PAYMENTS.

Subject to the double-recovery provision under Section 15.10, any amounts owed by one Party to another Party under this Agreement which are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date therefor pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from the due date of the payment under the terms of this Agreement to the date paid.

SECTION 14. EXPENSES.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS.

This Agreement, together with each of the exhibits and schedules appended hereto, as well as any other agreements and documents referred to herein and therein, shall (i) together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in respect of any Tax between or among any member or members of the Pluto Group, on the one hand, and any member or members of the Spinco Group, on the other hand.

In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this Agreement without the necessity of proving actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled hereunder. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss hereunder or default herein or breach hereof and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.
