(b) Spinco shall pay or cause to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority, shall indemnify and hold the TWDC Group harmless against, and shall be entitled to all refunds of, all Taxes of Spinco and its Subsidiaries arising out of or attributable to any Post-Distribution Period (including the portion of Taxes for a Straddle Period that is allocated to any Post-Distribution Period pursuant to Section 3.03, below).

Section 3.03 Allocation of Certain Straddle Period Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of periodic Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period that are not based on income or receipts (e.g., property taxes), the Straddle Period shall be treated as if it were divided into a Pre-Distribution Period and a Post-Distribution Period and such periodic Taxes shall be allocated between such Pre-Distribution Period and such Post-Distribution Period based upon the ratio of (x) the number of days in the taxable period (i) before and including the Distribution Date (with respect to the Pre-Distribution Period) or (ii) following the Distribution Date (with respect to the Post-Distribution Period) and (y) the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of Taxes that are attributable to a Straddle Period and are not described in Section 3.03(a), above, the Straddle Period shall be treated as if it were divided into a Pre-Distribution Period and a Post-Distribution Period and such Taxes shall be allocated between such Pre-Distribution Period and such Post-Distribution Period by allocating Tax Items between such Pre-Distribution Period and Post-Distribution Period based upon an actual closing of the books as of the close of business on the Distribution Date; provided, however, that any Tax Items attributable to transactions or events not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Distribution Date prior to or at the time of the Public Distribution will be allocated to the Pre-Distribution Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Tax Items attributable to the payment of bonuses by Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Public Distribution), and any Tax Items attributable to transactions or events not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Distribution Date after the Public Distribution shall be allocated to the Post-Distribution Period, in each case in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1).

Section 3.04 Adjustments. (a) If any adjustment is made to any Tax Return of a member of the Spinco Group for a Pre-Distribution Period or a Post-Distribution Period, as the case may be (whether such adjustment is the result of or in settlement of any audit, other administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding or the filing of an amended Tax Return to reflect the consequences of any determination made in connection with any such audit or proceeding or otherwise), and there is a correlative adjustment applicable to the Post-Distribution Period or the Pre-Distribution Period, as the case may be, then the Party whose adjustment is favorable (i.e., the Party to which there inures, directly or indirectly, a net Tax Benefit as a result of any adjustment) (the “Benefited Party”) shall pay to the Party whose adjustment is unfavorable (i.e., the Party that suffers, directly or indirectly, a net Tax Detriment as a result of any adjustment) (the “Detrimented Party”) the amount of such net Tax Benefit, at such time or times as and to the extent that such benefit is actually realized (on a last-item-used basis) through a refund of Tax or actual reduction in the amount of Tax that the Benefited Party otherwise would have paid if such adjustment had not been made; provided that the Benefited Party shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Section 3.04 in respect of a net Tax Benefit to the extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (a) the aggregate amount of all prior net Tax Detriments suffered by the Detrimented Party with respect to adjustments that are the subject of this Section 3.04 less (b) the aggregate amount of all prior payments made by the Benefited Party under this Section 3.04.

(b) Upon notice from any Party hereto regarding any event (including the filing of an amended Tax Return or the occurrence of an audit or other proceeding) that could give rise to a Tax Detriment to such Party, a Party having a potential Tax Benefit with respect to the same underlying adjustment shall take all reasonable actions as may be necessary to maximize the

realization of any such Tax Benefit, and shall coordinate with the Party with the potential Tax Detriment with respect to the taking of such actions.

Section 3.05 Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any payment required to be made among the Parties pursuant to this Article III with respect to any Tax Return shall be made by the Party obligated to make such payment (i) in the case of a refund of Tax, within 30 days after receipt (whether by way of payment, credit, or offset against any payments due or otherwise) of such refund, (ii) in the case of the payment of Tax with respect to any Tax Return other than a Straddle Period Tax Return, no later than two business days prior to such payment of Tax to the relevant Taxing Authority (including a deemed payment through the use of a Tax loss, credit, deduction or other allowance) or, if later, within 15 days after the delivery of written demand for the payment hereunder to the Party obligated to make such payment and (iii) in the case of the payment of Tax with respect to any Straddle Period Tax Return, no later than two business days prior to the date such Straddle Period Tax Return is filed or, if later, 15 days following the delivery of written demand for the payment hereunder to the Party obligated to make such payment. Any payment described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and any demand for payment described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a calculation setting forth the basis for the amount paid or demanded. Any payment that is required under this Agreement that is not made within the prescribed time period shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the prime commercial lending rate publicly announced by XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx or any successor thereto at its principal office (or any alternative rate substituted therefor by such bank).

Section 3.06 Carrybacks. Spinco and the other members of the Spinco Group shall make any election regarding any loss and credit carrybacks, including the election under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code, that would eliminate or limit the carryback of any loss or credit to any taxable period beginning before or including the Distribution Date. To the extent that no election is available to limit or eliminate any such carryback and such carryback is otherwise required by applicable law, TWDC shall promptly remit to Spinco the net benefit of any refund (taking into account, for example, Federal Income Tax attributable to such a carryback) that it receives that is attributable to such carryback (determined on a last item-used basis).

Section 3.07 Certain Disputes Regarding Tax Liabilities. In the event of a dispute regarding the allocation of liability pursuant to the provisions of this Article III or the amount of any payment due with respect thereto, the Parties to the dispute shall employ (and equally share the expense of) a mutually acceptable and jointly engaged nationally recognized public accounting firm to determine the proper allocation of such liability or amount of such payment. In the event the Parties are unable to agree to a mutually acceptable nationally recognized accounting firm within 10 days, the Parties shall each select a nationally recognized accounting firm, which accounting firms shall select a third nationally recognized accounting firm, which third nationally recognized accounting firm shall be jointly engaged by the Parties to determine the proper allocation of such liability or amount of such payment. Any determination by the chosen accounting firm shall be final and binding on the Parties and their Affiliates. This Section 3.07 shall not apply to any dispute regarding the existence of, or liabilities with respect to, a Distribution Disqualification or a Restructuring Disqualification.

Upon request by Spinco, however, and subject to the cooperation provisions in Section 7.01, above, Citadel and Spinco shall, at the sole expense of Citadel or Spinco, be allowed to participate in the handling of any Tax Controversy with respect to any item that would give rise to a payment of Tax with respect to which Spinco or any of its Affiliates could be liable under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Citadel nor Spinco shall have the right to participate in negotiations with any Taxing Authority unless it has first admitted that it would be liable for the Tax in question in the event of an adverse determination, and in the event that Citadel or Spinco has made such an admission, then TWDC and Citadel shall have joint control of the contest in question, and provided further, that in the event of a dispute between TWDC and Citadel regarding how to handle the matter, the decision of TWDC shall govern.

(b) Subject to the cooperation provisions in Section 7.01, above, Spinco shall have full responsibility and control over the handling of any Tax Controversy involving any Spinco Return; provided, however, that TWDC shall, at TWDC’s sole expense, be allowed to participate in the handling of any Tax Controversy with respect to any item that would give rise to a payment of Tax for which TWDC could be liable under this Agreement.
