If the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Indemnified Party
shall submit its calculations of the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.01, showing such calculations in sufficient
detail so as to permit the Indemnifying Party to understand the calculations. Subject to the following sentence, the Indemnifying Party
shall pay to the Indemnified Party, no later than twenty (20) days after the Indemnifying Party receives the Indemnified Party’s

Indemnifying Party disagrees with such calculations, it must notify the Indemnified Party of its disagreement in writing within fifteen
(15) days of receiving such calculations.


 


(d)
For all Tax purposes, Vinco and Cryptyde agree to treat (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect

The amount of any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction in Taxes
actually realized by the Indemnified Party by the end of the taxable year in which the indemnity payment is made, and shall be increased
if and to the extent necessary to ensure that, after all required Taxes on the indemnity payment are paid (including Taxes applicable
to any increases in the indemnity payment under this Section 2.01(e)), the Indemnified Party receives the amount it would have

(f)

by the Group that employs such officer or employee at the time of such issuance, exercise, vesting, or settlement, as applicable; (ii)

any liability with respect to compensation required to be paid or satisfied by, or otherwise allocated to, any member of the Cryptyde
Group in accordance with any Transaction Document, Vinco shall promptly remit an amount equal to the overall net reduction in actual
cash Taxes paid by the Vinco Group (determined on a “with and without” basis) resulting from the event giving rise to such
deduction in the year of such event. If a Tax Authority subsequently reduces or disallows the use of such a deduction by the Vinco Group,
Cryptyde shall return an amount equal to the overall net increase in Tax liability of the Vinco Group owing to the Tax Authority to the
remitting party.


 


(c)
For any taxable period (or portion thereof), except as Cryptyde may at any time determine in its reasonable discretion, Cryptyde shall
satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable withholding and reporting responsibilities (including all income, payroll or
other Tax reporting related to income to any current or former employees) with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement
of Cryptyde Equity Awards that settle with or with respect to stock of Cryptyde. For any taxable period (or portion thereof), Vinco shall
satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable withholding and reporting responsibilities (including all income, payroll or
other Tax reporting related to income to any current or former employees) with respect to the exercise, vesting or settlement of Vinco
Equity Awards that settle with or with respect to stock of Vinco. Cryptyde and Vinco acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall cooperate
with each other and with third-party providers to effectuate withholding and remittance of Taxes, as well as required Tax reporting,
in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if after the Distribution Date, an Indemnified Party receives any notice, letter, correspondence,
claim or decree from any Tax Authority (a “Tax Notice”) and, upon receipt of such Tax Notice, believes it has suffered
or potentially could suffer any Tax liability for which it is indemnified pursuant to Section 2.01, the Indemnified Party shall
deliver such Tax Notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) days of the receipt of such Tax Notice; provided, however,
that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Tax Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the indemnification rights
of the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 2.01, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified
Party’s failure to deliver such Tax Notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to handle, defend, conduct and control,
at its own expense, any Tax audit or other proceeding that relates to such Tax Notice; provided that, in all events, Cryptyde
shall have the right to control any Tax audit or proceeding relating to Transaction Taxes or the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.
The Indemnifying Party shall also have the right to compromise or settle any such Tax audit or other proceeding that it has the authority
to control pursuant to the preceding sentence subject, in the case of a compromise or settlement that could adversely affect the Indemnified
Party, to the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party fails within
a reasonable time after notice to defend any such Tax Notice or the resulting audit or proceeding as provided herein, the Indemnifying
Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the
Indemnified Party the amount of any Tax liability within fifteen (15) days after a Final Determination of such Tax liability.


 


(b)
If after the Distribution Date, Cryptyde or Vinco receive a Tax Notice that could have an impact on the other Party, Cryptyde or Vinco,

to and carried over by Vinco or a member of its Affiliated Group and will notify Vinco of subsequent adjustments which may affect such
carryover item.

such thirty (30)-day period, the matter shall be referred to a Tax counsel or other tax advisor of recognized national standing (the
“Tax Arbiter”) that will be jointly chosen by Cryptyde and Vinco. The Tax Arbiter may, in its discretion, obtain the
services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the dispute. The Tax Arbiter shall furnish written notice to the parties
to the dispute of its resolution of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days after acceptance
of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Arbiter shall be binding on the Parties, and the Parties shall take, or
cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement such resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Arbiter shall be shared equally
by the Parties.
