(i) Employee Compensation and Employee Benefits.

(i) Entitlement to Deductions. Any deduction arising after the Distribution Date with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or settlement of any Compensatory Equity Interest (a “Deferred Compensation Deduction”) shall be claimed solely by the Company (or the appropriate Group member of that Company) that employs the individual with respect to whom such Deferred Compensation Deduction arises at the time that it arises or, if such individual is not then employed by any Company or a Company’s Group member, by Distributing to the extent the individual was a former employee of the Distributing Business or by Splitco to the extent that the individual was a former employee of the Splitco Business. If, as a result of a Final Determination, a Deferred Compensation Deduction is disallowed in whole or in part to the Company (the “Employing Company”) or its Group member claiming such Deferred Compensation Deduction pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the other Company (the “Claiming Company”) or its Group members shall at the request of the Employing Company make a claim for all such deductions (“Claimed Deductions”); provided, however, that the Employing Company has delivered to the Claiming Company (i) if requested by the Claiming Company, an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Company, that confirms that the Claimed Deductions should be sustained based on the Final Determination, and (ii) an acknowledgement that the Employing Company will reimburse the Claiming Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claiming Company or any of its Affiliates as a result of claiming the Claimed Deductions.

(ii) Withholding and Reporting. The Employing Company that originally claims (or any of its Group members that claims) the Deferred Compensation Deduction described in clause (i) of this Section 2.02 shall be responsible for all applicable Taxes (including, but not limited to, withholding and excise taxes) and shall satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable Tax reporting obligations in respect of the Compensatory Equity Interests that gives rise to the Deferred Compensation Deduction. The Companies shall reasonably cooperate (and shall cause their respective Group members to reasonably cooperate) so as to permit the Employing Company or its Group member claiming such Deferred Compensation Deduction to discharge any applicable Tax withholding and Tax reporting obligations, including (i) the appointment of the Employing Company or one or more of its Group members as the withholding and reporting agent if the Employing Company or one or more of its Group members is not otherwise required or permitted to withhold and report under applicable Law or (ii) cooperating to instruct any broker or any compensation program administrator to transfer an amount of cash equal to such withholding Tax to the Employing Company.

(iii) Notification.

(j) Acquired Subsidiaries. If any Person becomes a Subsidiary of any member of the Splitco Group in any transaction after the Distribution (and such Person was not a member of the Splitco Group or the Distributing Group prior to such transaction) (a “Splitco Acquired Subsidiary”), then any Taxes and Tax Items of such Splitco Acquired Subsidiary for any Tax Year (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the date of such transaction shall be allocated to Splitco. If any Person becomes a Subsidiary of any member of the Distributing Group in any transaction after the Distribution (and such Person was not a member of the Splitco Group or the Distributing Group prior to such transaction) (a “Distributing Acquired Subsidiary”), then any Taxes and Tax Items of such Distributing Acquired Subsidiary for any Tax Year (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the date of such transaction shall be allocated to Distributing.

(k) Transfer Taxes. Any and all Transfer Taxes shall be allocated to Distributing and Splitco in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.02(k).

(i) With respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period described in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, such Tax Return shall be prepared by Distributing or Splitco (or the members of its Group) in accordance with past practices, including the elections, methods of accounting, positions, conventions and principles of taxation used on prior Tax Returns corresponding to those in question (“Past Practices”), and to the extent any items are not addressed by Past Practices, in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by the Company responsible for preparing the Tax Return.

(ii) With respect to any Tax Return filed for a Post-Distribution Period described in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, except as required by applicable Tax Law, such Tax Return shall be prepared by Distributing or Splitco (or the members of its Group) in accordance with Past Practices to the extent that a departure from Past Practices would be reasonably expected to increase the Tax

liability of, or give rise to a payment under this Agreement by, the other Company (or a member of its Group) for a Pre-Distribution Period.

(iii) Distributing and Splitco (and the members of their respective Groups) shall make any election or take any other action (or refrain from taking any action) reasonably requested by the other Company to preserve any existing Tax position of Distributing or Splitco (or the members of its Group), including the reported treatment or availability of Tax Items. Without limiting the foregoing, each Company (and the members of its Group) shall take the applicable actions set forth on Schedule 3.04(b)(iii).

(i) Distributing shall have the authority to file (or determine not to file) any Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, unitary or other group basis, if such Tax Return would include at least one member of each Group and the filing of such Tax Return is elective under applicable Tax Law.

(ii) Distributing shall provide to Splitco a copy of a substantially completed draft of any Combined Return and, to the extent relevant to determine compliance with Section 3.04(b), any Separate Return at least twenty business days prior to its due date (taking into account any extensions validly obtained), or in the case of a Combined Return or any relevant Separate Return with a due date (taking into account any extensions validly obtained) within twenty business days following the Distribution Date, as soon as is reasonably practicable before such due date. Splitco shall thereafter have the right to review (x) the treatment in such Combined Return of any Tax Items, Taxes, or Tax Benefits allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02, to the extent such treatment is not otherwise within the sole discretion of Distributing pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(i) or (e) and (y) Distributing’s compliance with Section 3.04(b). Distributing shall provide to Splitco any information relating to any Combined Return that is reasonably necessary for Splitco’s reasonable review pursuant to this Section 3.04(b).

(d) Splitco Tax Returns.

(i) With respect to any Separate Return for which Splitco is responsible pursuant to Section 3.02(b), Splitco and the other members of the Splitco Group must (x) allocate Tax Items between any Separate Return for which Splitco is responsible and any related Combined Return that is filed with respect to the same Tax Year in a manner that is consistent with the reporting of such Tax Items on such related Combined Return and (y) make any applicable elections required under applicable Tax Law, necessary to effect such allocation.

Distributing shall thereafter have the right to review and consent to such Separate Return, including Splitco’s compliance with Section 3.04(b); provided

that Distributing shall not withhold its consent to the extent that the filing of the Separate Return will not result in any incremental Tax cost or other adverse Tax impact to the Distributing Group. Splitco shall provide to Distributing any information relating to any such Separate Return that is reasonably necessary for Distributing to be able to provide such consent pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(ii).

(e) Amended Returns and Other Actions. If an action is likely to increase the Tax liability of, or give rise to a payment under this Agreement by, the other Company (or a member of its Group), then, without the prior written consent of the other Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), neither Distributing (or any of its Group members) nor Splitco (or any of its Group members) shall (x) (a) amend, or request or permit the amendment of, any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period, (b) apply to any Tax Authority for any binding or non-binding opinion, ruling, or other determination with respect to any operations, transactions or other matters that occurred during a Pre-Distribution Period, or (c) except in response to any request or inquiry from a Tax Authority, voluntarily furnish to any Tax Authority any information (in writing or otherwise) regarding any such Tax Return or any such operations, transactions or other matters, (y) change the classification of any entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period, or (z) modify any Tax election, method of Tax accounting or take any similar action with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period.

Any resulting Tax Benefit shall be allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(g), except as otherwise provided by Section 2.02(h).

ARTICLE IV

TAX PAYMENTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Taxes to Tax Authority. Subject to any indemnification or reimbursement from the other Company pursuant to Article II or other provisions of this Agreement, Distributing shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown as due on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02(a), and Splitco shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.02(b).

Section 4.02 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Tax Payments Made by the Distributing Group. If any member of the Distributing Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes allocated to Splitco pursuant to Article II or other provisions of this Agreement, Splitco shall pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to Distributing not later than the later of (i) ten business days after receiving notification requesting such amount (along with reasonably sufficient supporting information), and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority (so long as reasonably sufficient supporting information has previously been provided to Splitco).

(b) Tax Payments Made by the Splitco Group. If any member of the Splitco Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes allocated to Distributing pursuant to Article II or other provisions of this Agreement, Distributing shall pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to Splitco not later than the later of (i) then business days after receiving notification requesting such amount (along with reasonably sufficient supporting information), and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority (so long as reasonably sufficient supporting information has previously been provided to Distributing).

Section 4.03 Payments for Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits.

(a) Tax Refund or Tax Benefit Received by Distributing Group. If a member of the Distributing Group receives a Tax Refund with respect to Taxes for which Splitco is liable hereunder or uses a Tax Benefit for which Splitco is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.01(a), Distributing shall pay to Splitco, within ten business days following the receipt of the Tax Refund or the use of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Refund or Tax Benefit.

(b) Tax Refund or Tax Benefit Received by Splitco Group. If a member of the Splitco Group receives a Tax Refund with respect to Taxes for which Distributing is liable hereunder or uses a Tax Benefit for which Distributing is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.01(b), Splitco shall pay to Distributing, within ten business days following the receipt of the Tax Refund or the use of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Refund or Tax Benefit.

(c) Rules Regarding Tax Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, a Tax Benefit (other than a Tax Refund) shall be considered used or received (i) at the time the Tax Return is filed with respect to such Tax Benefit, or (ii) if no Tax Return is filed, (x) at the time a Tax Refund generated by use of such Tax Benefit is received or (y) if no Tax Refund is received, at the time the Tax would have been due in the absence of such Tax Benefit. The amount of such Tax Benefit shall be the amount by which Taxes payable in cash are actually reduced by such Tax Benefit.

Section 4.04 Interest on Late Payments. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or, if no such date is prescribed, not later than ten business days after demand for payment is made (the “Due Date”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the date of payment at the Interest Rate. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

Section 4.05 Initial Determinations and Subsequent Adjustments. The initial determination of the amount of any payment that one Company is required to make to (or for the benefit of) another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as

originally filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the Tax Authority. Except as set forth in Section 2.01(c)(i) or otherwise explicitly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the amounts paid under this Agreement shall be redetermined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination shall be made, as appropriate, if as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority or for any other reason (w) additional Taxes to which such determination relates are subsequently paid, (x) a Tax Refund or a Tax Benefit relating to such Taxes is received or used, (y) the amount or character of any Tax Item is adjusted or redetermined, or (z) a Tax Benefit allocable to Distributing that is reduced in one Tax Year by reason of the carryback of a Tax Item allocable to the Splitco Business, resulting in an allocation to Distributing of a Tax Benefit pursuant to Section 2.02(h), is used by Distributing in a subsequent Tax Year. Each payment required by the immediately preceding sentence (i) as a result of a payment of additional Taxes will be due ten business days after the date on which the additional Taxes were paid or, if later, ten business days after the date of a request from the other Company for the payment, (ii) as a result of the receipt or use of a Tax Refund or Tax Benefit will be due ten business days after the Tax Refund or Tax Benefit was received or used, or (iii) as a result of an adjustment or redetermination of the amount or character of a Tax Item will be due ten business days after the date on which the final action resulting in such adjustment or redetermination is taken by a Tax Authority or either Company or any of their Subsidiaries. If a payment is made as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority which does not conclude the matter, further adjusting payments will be made, as appropriate, to reflect the outcome of subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings.

Section 4.06 Tax Consequences of Payments.

(a) General. For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than on account of interest) as a capital contribution or a distribution between Distributing and Splitco, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution. If the receipt or accrual of any payment under this Agreement causes, directly or indirectly, an increase in the taxable income of the recipient under one or more applicable Tax Laws, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the recipient thereof shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income. To the extent that Taxes for which any party hereto (the indemnifying party) is required to pay another party (the indemnified party) pursuant to this Agreement may be deducted or credited in determining the amount of any other Taxes required to be paid by the indemnified party, the amount of any payment made to the indemnified party by the indemnifying party shall be decreased by taking into account any actual resulting reduction in other Taxes payable in cash of the indemnified party, computed on a “with and without” basis, including first using any Tax Benefits of the indemnified party regardless of the Tax Year in which the Tax Benefits arose. If such a reduction in Taxes of the indemnified party occurs following the payment made to the indemnified party with respect to the relevant indemnified Taxes, the indemnified party shall promptly repay the indemnifying party the amount of such reduction when actually realized. If the Tax Benefit arising from the foregoing reduction of Taxes described in this Section 4.06 is subsequently decreased or eliminated, then the indemnifying party shall promptly pay the indemnified party the amount of the decrease in such Tax Benefit.

(b) Protective Section 336(e) Election. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.336-2(h) and 1.336-2(j), Distributing and Splitco agree that Distributing shall have the option to make (or cause to be made) a timely protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder for Communications (and any Subsidiary thereof and any election under Section 754 of the Code for any Subsidiary thereof) with respect to the PR Spin-Off (a “Section 336(e) Election”). It is intended that a Section 336(e) Election will have no effect unless the PR Spin-Off is a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), either because (a) the PR Spin-Off is not a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or (b) Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(ii) applies to the PR Spin-Off. If Distributing decides to make a Section 336(e) Election, (i) Distributing shall notify Splitco in writing within 180 days after the Distribution Date, the Companies shall enter into a binding, written agreement and Splitco (and members of its Group) shall cooperate with Distributing in making the Section 336(e) Election, including filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or such other action Distributing determines is reasonably necessary to carry out the Section 336(e) Election, and (ii) if the Section 336(e) Election becomes effective, no member of the Splitco Group shall take any position inconsistent with the Section 336(e) Election except as may be required by a Final Determination. If and to the extent that a Section 336(e) Election is made by Distributing and the PR Spin-Off fails to qualify as tax-free transactions under Section 355 of the Code (including as a result of the application of Section 355(e) of the Code), and the resulting Taxes (including any Taxes attributable to the Section 336(e) Election) are allocated to Distributing pursuant to Article II (rather than allocated Splitco under Article II together with Splitco’s indemnification obligations for such Taxes under this Agreement), then, to that extent, Distributing shall be entitled to quarterly payments from Splitco equal to 100 percent of any actual reduction in Taxes payable in cash arising from the step up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election, computed on a “with and without” basis, including first using any Tax Benefits of the Splitco Group regardless of the Tax Year in which the Tax Benefits arose, and less a reasonable charge for administrative expenses and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses necessary to secure the Tax savings.

ARTICLE VI

RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN ACTIONS OF SPLITCO; INDEMNITY

Section 6.01 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) General Restrictions. Following the Distribution, Splitco shall not, and shall cause the members of the Splitco Group and their Affiliates not to, take any action that, or fail to take any action the failure of which, (i) would cause Distributing or any Subsidiary of Distributing to recognize gain or loss, or otherwise include any amount in income, with respect to the Historical Transactions and Restructuring Transactions other than in accordance with the applicable Intended Tax Treatment, (ii) would be inconsistent with the Split-Off qualifying, or would preclude the Split-Off from qualifying, as a tax-free transaction described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, (iii) would cause the holders of LiLAC Ordinary Shares that receive shares of Splitco in the Split-Off to recognize gain or loss, or otherwise include any amount in income, as a result of the Split-Off for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iv) would cause Section 355(e) to apply to the Split-Off, (v) would be inconsistent with the PR Spin-Off qualifying, or would preclude the PR Spin-Off from qualifying, as a tax-free transaction described under Section 355 of the Code, or (v) would cause Section 355(e) to apply to the PR Spin-Off.

(b) Restricted Actions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.01(a) hereof, following the Distribution, neither Distributing nor Splitco shall, and shall cause the members of its Group and its Affiliates not to, take any action that, or fail to take any action the failure of which, would be inconsistent with, or would cause any Person to be in breach of, any representation or covenant, or any material statement, made in the Split-Off Tax Materials or the PR Spin-Off Tax Materials.

(c) Reporting. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination to the contrary, each Company (together with its Group members) agrees not to take any position on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest, or otherwise for Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the Split-Off Opinion or the qualification of the Split-Off under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, the PR Spin-Off Opinion or the qualification of the PR Spin-Off under Section 355 of the Code, or the Intended Tax Treatment of any Historical Transactions or Restructuring Transactions.

(d) No Fault Allocation of Liability. Distributing and Splitco acknowledge and agree that in the event that the Split-Off does not qualify under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, or the PR Spin-Off does not qualify under Section 355 of the Code, and such failure to qualify does not result from a failure of the Distributing Group or the Splitco Group to comply with Sections 6.01(a) – (c), including a failure resulting from a determination that a representation set forth in the Split-Off Tax Materials or the PR Spin-Off Tax Materials relating to the tax status or treatment of a prior transaction is inaccurate or incomplete, then, for the avoidance of doubt, any resulting Split-Off Taxes and Related Losses or PR Spin-Off Taxes or Related Losses shall be allocated to Splitco pursuant to Article II.

Section 6.02 Distributing Indemnity. Distributing agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Splitco Group and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Splitco Indemnitees”) from and against any and all (without duplication) (a) Taxes, Tax Items, and Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02, (b) Split-Off Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) PR Spin-Off Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(c), (d) Restructuring Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(d), (e) Tracking Stock Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(e), (f) Historical Transactions Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), (g) Transfer Taxes allocated to Distributing pursuant to Section 2.02(k), (h) Taxes and Losses arising out of or based upon any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Distributing contained in this Agreement, and (i) Losses, including reasonable out-of-pocket legal, accounting and other advisory and court fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the items described in clauses (a) through (h); provided, however, that notwithstanding clauses (a), (h) and (i), Distributing shall not be responsible for, and shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Splitco Indemnitee for any and all (x) Split-Off Taxes and Related Losses, PR Spin-Off Taxes and Related Losses, Restructuring Taxes and Related Losses, Tracking Stock Taxes and Related Losses, and Historical Transactions Taxes and Related Losses that are allocated to Splitco pursuant to Sections 2.02(b)(i), (c)(i), (d)(i), (e)(i) or (f)(i), or (y) Taxes or Losses arising out of or based upon any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Splitco contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Splitco Indemnity. Splitco agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Distributing Group and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Distributing Indemnitees”) from and against any and all (without duplication) (a) Taxes, Tax Items, and Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02, (b) Split-Off Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) PR Spin-Off Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(c), (d) Restructuring Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(d), (e) Tracking Stock Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(e), (f) Historical Transactions Taxes and Related Losses allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(f), (g) Transfer Taxes allocated to Splitco pursuant to Section 2.02(k), (h) Taxes and Losses arising out of or based upon any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Splitco contained in this Agreement, and (i) Losses, including reasonable out-of-pocket legal, accounting and other advisory and court fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the items described in clauses (a) through (h); provided, however, that notwithstanding clauses (a), (h) and (i), Splitco shall not be responsible for, and shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Distributing Indemnitee for any and all (x) any Split-Off Taxes and Related Losses, PR Spin-Off Taxes and Related Losses, Restructuring Taxes and Related Losses, Tracking Stock Taxes and Related Losses, and Historical Transactions Taxes and Related Losses that are allocated to Distributing pursuant to Sections 2.02(b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii), (e)(ii) or (f)(ii), or (y) Taxes or Losses arising out of or based upon any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Distributing contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.04 Scope. The provisions of this Article VI are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Distributing Indemnitee and its successors in interest and each Splitco Indemnitee and its successors in interest.

Section 6.05 Notices of Tax Contests. Each Company shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, proceeding or other Tax Contest or Joint Claim of which it becomes aware relating to Taxes, Losses or any other liabilities or amounts for which it is or may be indemnified by such other Company hereunder. Such notice shall contain (i) factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability or other claim in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority or third party in respect of any such matters, and (ii) the amount of such asserted Tax liability or other claim. Such notice shall be given within a reasonable period of time after notice thereof was received by such Company, but any failure to give timely notice shall not affect the indemnities given hereunder except, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying Company shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified Company shall deliver to the indemnifying Company such additional information with respect to such Tax Contest or Joint Claim in its possession that the indemnifying Company may reasonably request.

Section 6.06 Control of Tax Contests Generally.

(a) General Rule. Except as provided in Sections 6.06(b) and 6.08, each Company (or the appropriate member of its Group) shall have full responsibility, control and discretion in handling, defending, settling or contesting any Tax Contest involving a Tax reported (or that, it is asserted, should have been reported) on a Tax Return for which such Company is responsible for preparing and filing (or causing to be prepared and filed) pursuant to Article III of this Agreement.

(b) Non-Preparer Participation Rights. With respect to a Tax Contest (other than with respect to a Joint Claim) of any Tax Return which could result in a Tax liability for which the Non-Preparer may be liable under this Agreement or the reduction in any Tax Benefit to which the Non-Preparer may be entitled to under this Agreement, (i) the Non-Preparer shall, at its own cost and expense, be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (ii) the Preparer shall keep the Non-Preparer updated and informed of the status and progress of the Tax Contest, and shall consult with the Non-Preparer, (iii) the Preparer shall act in good faith and diligently pursue such Tax Contest, and (iv) the Preparer shall not settle or compromise such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Non-Preparer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if the settlement or compromise could have a more than de minimis impact on the Non-Preparer and the other members of its Group.

Section 6.07 Cooperation. Each Company shall provide the other Company (and its Group members) with all information relating to a Tax Contest or Joint Claim which is needed by the other Company to handle, participate in, defend, settle or contest the Tax Contest or Joint Claim. At the request of a Company, the other Company shall take (and cause its Group members to take) any reasonable action (e.g., executing a power of attorney) that is necessary to enable the requesting Company to exercise its rights under this Agreement in respect of a Tax Contest or Joint Claim. Splitco shall assist Distributing, and Distributing shall assist Splitco, in taking any remedial actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax Authority. The indemnifying party or parties shall reimburse the indemnified party or parties for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6.07.

Section 6.08 Joint Claims. Distributing and Splitco will have the right to jointly control the defense, compromise or settlement of any Joint Claim. No indemnified Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Joint Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Company, which consent may be withheld in the indemnifying Company’s sole discretion (exercised in good faith). No indemnifying Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Joint Claim unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified Company and (y) does not enjoin or restrict in any way the future actions or conduct of the indemnified Company (other than with respect to its performance hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adverse determination with respect to any Joint Claim, absent mutual agreement between the Distributing and Splitco, a Company may not appeal (or take a similar action with respect to) such adverse determination unless such Company provides the other Company with a written opinion from a Tax Advisor, reasonably acceptable to the other Company, to the effect that it is more likely than not that the appeal will prevail on the merits.

Section 6.09 Other Claims. In the event any Distributing Indemnitee should have a claim against Splitco, or any Splitco Indemnitee should have a claim against Distributing, under this Article VI that does not involve a third party action, such indemnified Company (or Distributing on behalf of all Distributing Indemnitees or Splitco on behalf of all Splitco Indemnitees, as applicable) shall as promptly as practicable notify the indemnifying Company of such claim, describing such claim and the factual basis thereof, the amount of such claim (if known) and the method of computation of such amount, all with reasonable particularity.

ARTICLE VII

DISAGREEMENTS

Section 7.01 General Procedures. Distributing and Splitco will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in an amicable manner any disputes or disagreements with respect to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement (including those, if any, relating to the interpretation, implementation or compliance with the provisions of this Agreement). In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement with respect to this Agreement (other than a High-Level Dispute) (a “Tax Matters Dispute”) between any member of the Distributing Group and any member of the Splitco Group, the Tax departments of Distributing and Splitco (and their advisers if requested) shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Tax Matters Dispute. In the event that such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Tax Matters Dispute, the Companies shall agree as to whether such Tax Matters Dispute shall be governed by the procedures set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement. If Distributing and Splitco do not agree that the Tax Matters Dispute will be governed by the procedures set forth in Section 7.02, then Section 7.02 shall not apply to such Tax Matters Dispute.

Section 7.02 Tax Advisor Resolution. In the case of any Tax Matters Dispute governed by this Section 7.02, Distributing and Splitco shall appoint a Tax Advisor to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Tax Advisor shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations and factual submissions made by Distributing and Splitco and their respective representatives, and shall not conduct an independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Company only. The Companies shall require the Tax Advisor to resolve any Tax Matters Dispute submitted no later than thirty business days after submission of such dispute to the Tax Advisor, but (unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Companies) in no event later than the due date for the payment of Taxes or the filing of the applicable Tax Return, if applicable, and agree that all decisions by the Tax Advisor with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on Distributing and Splitco and their respective Groups. The Tax Advisor shall resolve any and all Tax Matters Disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in a manner consistent with relevant Past Practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law. Distributing and Splitco shall require the Tax Advisor to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be paid by the non-prevailing Company. In the event the Tax Advisor cannot make a determination in favor of one Company only or otherwise determines the Tax Matters Dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with this Section 7.02, then the Tax Matters Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.03.

Section 7.03 High-Level Dispute. In the case of a High-Level Dispute, Section 7.02 shall not apply.

ARTICLE VIII
