hereby agrees to assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Parent and agrees
to cause each member of the Company Group to assign, transfer, convey and
deliver to the Parent, and the Parent hereby agrees to accept from Company and
each member of the Company Group, all of the Company's and the Company Group's
respective right, title and interest in the Excluded Assets, if any, not
otherwise assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered to Parent in accordance
with the Letter Ruling.

                  (d) Effective on or before the Distribution Date, Parent
hereby agrees to assume and agrees faithfully to perform and fulfill all of the
Excluded Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms. Parent agrees
that it shall thereafter be solely responsible for all of the Excluded
Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or
whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the
date hereof, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted
or determined (including any Excluded Liabilities arising out of claims made by
the Company's directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates
against any member of the Company Group or the Parent Group) or whether asserted
or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from
or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of law, fraud or
misrepresentation by any member of the Company Group or the Parent Group or any
of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.

                  (e) Before the Distribution Date, (i) Parent hereby agrees to
repay the total outstanding principal and accrued interest owed to IAG (the "IAG
Repayment"), and (ii) Company will borrow from IAG an amount equal to the IAG
Repayment and declare and pay a dividend to Parent in the amount of the IAG
Repayment.

                  (f) Effective on or before the Distribution Date, Parent and
Company hereby agree to use their respective best efforts to have the licenses
or leases that currently are in the name of Parent and are listed on SCHEDULE
2.2(F), assigned or transferred to Company as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.2(F), and
Company shall assume all duties and obligations under such licenses or leases in
full, except as expressly agreed to in writing by Parent.

                  (g) Effective on or before the Distribution Date, Parent and
Company hereby agree to use their respective best efforts to assign and transfer
to Company the interest rate swaps, caps and floors listed on SCHEDULE 2.2(G).
To the extent that Parent cannot, without a guaranty or otherwise






                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13



unconditionally, assign and transfer the floors listed on SCHEDULE 2.2(G) to
Company, Parent will retain swaps listed on SCHEDULE 2.2(G) of sufficient
economic value to Parent to offset the economic cost to Parent resulting from
the termination of such floors.

                  (h) In the event that at any time or from time to time
(whether prior to or after the Distribution Date), any party hereto (or any
member of such party's respective Group), shall receive or otherwise possess any
Asset that is allocated to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, such party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be
transferred, such Asset to the Person so entitled thereto. However, Parent shall
not cause any Company Asset to be transferred prior to the Distribution Date
without the written consent of the Company. Before any such transfer, the Person
receiving or possessing such Asset shall hold such Asset in trust for any such
other Person.

         2.3 COMPANY ASSETS AND EXCLUDED ASSETS.

                  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Company Assets" shall
mean (without duplication):

                           (i) any and all Assets that are set forth in this
                  Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Assets to be
                  transferred to the Company or any other member of the Company
                  Group;

                           (ii) any and all Company Contracts (including any
                  consideration subject to off-set thereunder);

                           (iii) all issued and outstanding shares of capital
                  stock of the Subsidiaries of Parent listed on SCHEDULE
                  2.3(a)(iii) hereto;

                           (iv) any and all Assets reflected in the Company
                  Balance Sheet, subject to any dispositions of such Assets
                  subsequent to the date of the Company Balance Sheet; and

                           (v) any and all Assets owned or held immediately
                  prior to the Distribution Date by Parent or any of its
                  Subsidiaries that are used primarily in the Company Business.
                  The intention of this clause (v) is only to rectify any
                  inadvertent omission of transfer or conveyance of any Assets
                  that, had the parties given specific consideration to such
                  Asset as of the date hereof, would have otherwise been
                  classified as a Company Asset. No Asset shall be deemed to be
                  a Company Asset solely as a result of this clause (v) if such




                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14


                  Asset is within the category or type of Asset expressly owned
                  by Parent as a result of transactions pursuant to Section 2.1
                  or the subject matter of an Ancillary Agreement. In addition,
                  no Asset shall be deemed a Company Asset solely as a result of
                  this clause (v) unless a claim with respect thereto is made by
                  the Company on or prior to the first anniversary of the
                  Distribution Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Assets shall not in any event include
the Excluded Assets referred to in Section 2.3(b) below.

                  (b) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Excluded Assets"
shall mean any and all Assets that are set forth in this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement as Assets to be retained by Parent or any other member of
the Parent Group.

         2.4      COMPANY LIABILITIES AND EXCLUDED LIABILITIES.

                  (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Company Liabilities"

         this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Liabilities to be assumed
         by the Company or any member of the Company Group, including without
         limitation those Liabilities set forth on SCHEDULE 2.4(A)(I) hereto,
         and all agreements, obligations and Liabilities of any member of the
         Company Group under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

                           (ii) all Liabilities, other than Taxes dealt with in
         the Tax Sharing Agreement, whether arising before, on or after the
         Distribution Date, including any employee-related Liabilities and
         Environmental Liabilities, relating to, arising out of or resulting
         from:

                                    (A) the operation of the Company Business,
                  as conducted at any time prior to, on or after the
                  Distribution Date, including any Liability relating to,
                  arising out of or resulting from any act or failure to act by
                  any director, officer, employee, agent or representative,
                  whether or not such act or failure to act is or was within

                                    (B) the operation of any business conducted
                  by any member of the Company Group at any time after the

                  arising out of or resulting from any act or failure to act by
                  any director, officer, employee, agent or other representative
                  of the Company Group (whether or not such act or failure to
                  act is or was within such Person's authority)); or

                                    (C) any Company Assets (including any
                  Company Contracts and any real property and leasehold
                  interests);





                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15


                          (iii) all other Liabilities of any member of the
         Company Group, including those liabilities reflected as liabilities or
         obligations of the Company in the Company Balance Sheet, subject to any
         discharge of such Liabilities subsequent to the date of the Company
         Balance Sheet.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Liabilities shall not include the
Excluded Liabilities referred to in Section 2.4(b) below.

                  (b) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Excluded Liabilities"
shall mean (i) any and all Liabilities that are set forth in this Agreement or

all agreements and obligations of any member of the Parent Group under this
Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements and (iii) all Liabilities relating
to, arising out of or resulting from the Parent Business.

                  (c) On the Distribution Date, Parent will contribute to the
Company the Intercompany Balance, except that on and as of the Distribution Date
the Company shall be obligated to make the following payment to Parent as a
set-off or reduction of such Intercompany Balance:

                            (i) The amount equal to the sum of items (A) through
         (F) below, less the sum of items (G) and (H) below (the "ANC Equity
         Adjustment") which Company shall repay to Parent on the Distribution
         Date from the proceeds of certain debt financing to be received by the
         Company on such date:

                                    (A) An amount equal to the amount by which
                  the Maroone Payable exceeds $65.0 million;

                                    (B) The amount, as of the Distribution Date,
                  of any vehicle fleet financing funded by Parent with respect
                  to CarTemps USA, which has been advanced to Company by Parent,
                  but which has not been repaid by Company, which amount was
                  equal to $0 at May 31, 2000;

                                    (C) The amount, as of the Distribution Date,

                  has been advanced to Company by Parent, but which has not been

                  May 31, 2000;




                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16



                                     (D) $32.2 million, representing funds
                  advanced by Parent to repay the Company's working capital
                  lines of credit from Citibank International, N.A.;

                                     (E) $255.0 million, representing funds
                  advanced by Parent to Company to allow Company to repay
                  certain fleet letters of credit; and

                                     (F) $10.0 million, representing funds
                  advanced by Parent to Company with respect to fees paid to
                  Lehman Brothers in connection with certain debt financing.

         The foregoing amounts shall be reduced by the sum of the following:

                                     (G) $200.0 million, representing the
                  capital contribution of $200.0 million from Parent to Company
                  made in connection with the Distribution, $180.0 million of
                  which was made in February 2000;

                                     (H) the amount by which the Maroone Payable
                  is less than $65.0 million; and

                                     (I) the amount received by the Company upon
                  the sale of the former National headquarters in Minneapolis
                  and the "1401" building in Fort Lauderdale (to the extent
                  those sales are closed prior to the Distribution Date and the
                  proceeds thereof were added to the Intercompany Balance prior
                  to this adjustment), and

                           (ii) The amount by which the ANC Preliminary Equity,
         as adjusted to account for the ANC Equity Adjustment ("ANC Adjusted
         Equity"), exceeds $851.0 million at the Distribution Date, which
         Company shall repay to Parent on the Distribution Date from the
         proceeds of certain debt financing to be received by the Company on
         such date, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if ANC Adjusted Equity is less than
         $851.0 million at the Distribution Date, then Parent will contribute to
         Company an amount equal to the amount by which ANC Adjusted Equity is
         less than $851.0 million at the Distribution Date.

                                    On the Distribution Date, as Parent's and
         the Company's books and records may not be final and complete as to
         transactions occurring through to the Distribution Date, Parent shall
         prepare and provide an estimate to the Company of the amount of the
         payment to Parent which is owed as a set-off or reduction of such
         Intercompany Balance in accordance with the foregoing and the Company's
         payment to Parent in accordance with the foregoing shall be made based
         on Parent's estimate on the Distribution Date. On or before the date
         that is thirty (30) days following the Distribution Date, Parent shall
         prepare and provide a final calculation to the Company of the amount of





                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17


         such payment. Within five (5) days after delivery of such final
         calculation, Parent shall pay to the Company the amount of the
         difference between the estimated payment amount made as of the
         Distribution Date minus the final calculation amount to the extent that
         the estimated payment amount is greater than the final calculation
         amount, or, alternatively, the Company shall pay to Parent the amount
         of the difference between the final calculated amount minus the
         estimated payment amount to the extent that the final calculated amount
         is greater than the estimated amount. If the Company disputes any
         determination by Parent of either the estimated amount prepared as of
         the Distribution Date or the final calculation amount prepared within
         thirty days thereafter, then within the five day period after Parent's
         delivery of the final calculation amount, the parties shall submit any
         such unresolved dispute to Arthur Andersen LLP for prompt resolution
         within five days following submission of the dispute to it, and the
         parties agree to be bound by Arthur Andersen LLP's resolution of such
         dispute.

         2.5      TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) Except as set forth in Section 2.5(b), in furtherance of
the releases and other provisions of Section 4.1 hereof, the Company and each
member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and Parent and each member of the
Parent Group, on the other hand, hereby agrees to terminate any and all
agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or not in
writing, between or among the Company and/or any member of the Company Group, on
the one hand, and Parent and/or any member of the Parent Group, on the other
hand, on or before the Distribution Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent
any such agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding is inconsistent
with any Ancillary Agreement, such termination shall be effective as of the date
of effectiveness of the applicable Ancillary Agreement. No such terminated
agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision
thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or
effect after the Distribution Date (or, to the extent contemplated by the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, after the effective date of the
applicable Ancillary Agreement). Each party shall, at the reasonable request of
any other party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be
necessary to effect the foregoing.

                  (b) The provisions of Section 2.5(a) shall not apply to any of
the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to any
of the provisions thereof): (i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and
each other agreement or instrument set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement to be entered into by any of the parties hereto or any of the members
of their respective Groups); (ii) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or
understandings listed or described on SCHEDULE 2.5(b)(ii); (iii) any agreements,
arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any Person other than the
parties hereto and their respective Affiliates is a party (it being understood
that to the extent that the rights and obligations of the parties and the
members of their respective Groups under any such agreements, arrangements,




                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18



commitments or understandings constitute Company Assets or Company Liabilities,
they shall be assigned pursuant to Section 2.2); (iv) any intercompany accounts
payable or accounts receivable accrued as of the Distribution Date that are
reflected in the books and records of the parties or otherwise documented in
writing in accordance with past practices; and (v) any other agreements,
arrangements, commitments or understandings that this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement states will survive the Distribution Date.

ASSUMPTIONS OF LIABILITIES.

                  (a) COMPANY ASSETS AND COMPANY LIABILITIES. In furtherance of
the assignment, transfer and conveyance of the Company Assets and the assumption
of the Company Liabilities set forth in Section 2.2 (a) and (b), simultaneously

and interest in and to Company Assets to the Company and (ii) the Company shall
execute and deliver, to Parent and Parent Group such bills of sale, stock
powers, certificates of title, assumptions of contracts and other instruments of

                  (b) EXCLUDED ASSETS AND EXCLUDED LIABILITIES. In furtherance
of the assignment, transfer and conveyance of the Excluded Assets and the

the Company shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each member of the
Company Group to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, stock powers,
certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of
transfer, conveyance and assignment as and to the extent necessary to evidence
the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all of the Company's and the Company
Group's right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Assets to Parent and
(ii) Parent shall execute and deliver, to the Company and the Company Group such
bills of sale, stock powers, certificates of title, assumptions of contracts and

following Ancillary Agreements:





                                      -18-
<PAGE>   19


                  (a)      the Transitional Services Agreement;

                  (b)      the Tax Sharing Agreement;

                  (c)      the Benefits Agreement; and

                  (d)      the Reimbursement Agreement.

         2.8      DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  (a) Each of Parent (on behalf of itself and each member of the
Parent Group) and the Company (on behalf of itself and each member of the
Company Group) understands and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein
or in any Ancillary Agreement, no party to this Agreement, any Ancillary
Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, any
Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, is representing or warranting in any way as to
(i) the Assets, businesses or Liabilities transferred or assumed as contemplated
hereby or thereby, (ii) any consents or approvals required in connection
therewith, (iii) the value of, or freedom from any Security Interests of, or any
other matter concerning, any Assets of such party, or as to the absence of any
defenses or right of setoff or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any
claim or other Asset, including any accounts receivable, of any party, or (iv)
as to the legal sufficiency of any assignment, document or instrument delivered
hereunder to convey title to any Asset or thing of value upon the execution,
delivery and filing hereof or thereof. Except as may expressly be set forth
herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, all such Assets are being transferred on
an "as is," "where is" basis (and, in the case of any real property, by means of
a quitclaim or similar form of deed or conveyance) and the respective
transferees shall bear the economic and legal risks that any conveyance shall
prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title,
free and clear of any Security Interest.

         2.9      GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS AND CONSENTS.

                  (a) Each of Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable
best efforts to obtain the Governmental Approvals and Consents as set forth on
SCHEDULE 2.9(A) required to assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Company
Assets to the Company and the Excluded Assets to Parent.

                  (b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and
perfected transfer or assignment (or novation of any federal government
contract) to the Company Group of any Company Assets (or from the Company Group
of any Excluded Assets) would be a violation of applicable laws or require any
Consent or Governmental Approval in connection with the Separation or the
Distribution, then, unless Parent shall otherwise determine, the transfer or
assignment to or from the Company Group, as the case may be, of such Company





                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20



Assets or Excluded Assets, respectively, shall be automatically deemed deferred
and any such purported transfer or assignment shall remain pending until such
time as all legal impediments are removed and/or such Consents or Governmental
Approvals have been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Asset shall be
deemed a Company Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is a
Company Liability.

                  (c) If the transfer or assignment of any Assets intended to be
transferred or assigned hereunder is not consummated prior to or at the
Distribution Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.9(b) or
for any other reason, then the Person retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold
such Asset for the use and benefit, insofar as reasonably possible, of the
Person entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto). In
addition, the Person retaining such Asset shall take such other actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Asset is to be transferred in
order to place such Person, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position
as if such Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the
benefits and burdens relating to such Company Assets or such Excluded Assets, as
the case may be, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain,
and dominion, control and command over such Assets, are to inure from and after
the Distribution Date to the Company Group or the Parent Group, as the case may
be.

                  (d) If and when the Consents and/or Governmental Approvals,
the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset pursuant to
Section 2.9(b), are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Asset shall be
effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable
Ancillary Agreement.

                  (e) The Person retaining an Asset due to the deferral of the
transfer of such Asset pursuant to Section 2.9(b) or otherwise, shall not be
obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the
necessary funds are advanced by the Person entitled to the Asset, other than
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys' fees and recording or similar
fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Person entitled to such
Asset.

         2.10     NOVATION OF ASSUMED COMPANY LIABILITIES.

                  (a) Each of Parent and the Company, at the request of the
other, shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained,
any Consent or Governmental Approval required to novate (including with respect
to any Governmental Authority contract) or assign all Company Liabilities, or to
obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such Company
Liabilities other than any member of the Company Group, so that, in any such
case, the members of the Company Group will be solely responsible for such
Liabilities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of Parent or the Company shall be
obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom such
Consents or Governmental Approvals are requested other than filing and other
fees required by applicable law.

                  (b) If Parent and the Company are unable to obtain, or to
cause to be obtained, any such required Consent or Governmental Approval, the
applicable member of the Parent Group, as the case may be, shall continue to be
bound by such Company Liability and, unless not permitted by law or the terms
thereof, the Company shall, as agent or subcontractor for Parent, or such other
Person, as the case may be, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations
or other Liabilities of Parent, or such other Person, as the case may be,
thereunder from and after the date hereof, and the Company shall indemnify each
Parent Indemnitee and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities arising
in connection therewith. Parent shall, without further consideration, pay and
remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to the Company promptly all money,
rights and other consideration received by it or any member of Parent Group in
respect of such performance (unless any such consideration is an Excluded
Asset). If and when any such Consent or Governmental Approval shall be obtained
or such Liability shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated,
Parent shall thereafter assign, or cause to be assigned, such Liability or any
rights or obligations of any member of Parent Group to the Company or to another
member of the Company Group specified by the Company without payment of further
consideration and the Company shall assume, or shall cause such other member of
the Company Group to assume, without the payment of any further consideration,
such Liability.

         2.11     NOVATION OF ASSUMED LIABILITIES OTHER THAN COMPANY
LIABILITIES.

                  (a) Each of Parent and the Company at the request of the
other, shall use their best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any
Consent or Governmental Approval required to novate (including with respect to
any Governmental Authority Contract) or assign all Liabilities of any nature
whatsoever that do not constitute Company Liabilities, or to obtain in writing
the unconditional release of all parties to such Liabilities other than any
member of the Parent Group, so that, in any such case, the members of the Parent
Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
none of Parent and the Company shall be obligated to pay any consideration
therefor to any third party from whom such consents, approvals, substitutions
and amendments are requested other than filing fees required by applicable law.

                  (b) If Parent and the Company are unable to obtain, or to
cause to be obtained, any such required Consent or Governmental Approval, the
applicable member of the Company Group shall continue to be bound by such
Excluded Liability and, unless not permitted by law or the terms thereof, Parent
shall cause a member of the Parent Group, as agent or subcontractor for such
member of the Company Group, to pay, perform and discharge fully all the
obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Company Group thereunder
from and after the date hereof, and Parent shall indemnify each Company
Indemnitee and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities arising in
connection therewith. The Company shall cause each member of the Company Group
without further consideration, to pay and remit, or cause to be paid or
remitted, to Parent or to another member of the Parent Group specified by





                                      -21-

Parent, promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any
member of the Company Group in respect of such performance. If and when any such
Consent or Governmental Approval shall be obtained or such Liability shall
otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Company shall promptly
assign, or cause to be assigned, such Liability or any rights or obligations of
any member of the Company Group to Parent or to another member of the Parent
Group specified by Parent without payment of further consideration and Parent,
without the payment of any further consideration shall, or shall cause such
other member of the Parent Group to, assume such Liability.

Parent shall mail the Information Statement to the holders of Parent Common
Stock as of the Record Date.

                  (c) Parent and the Company shall take all such action as may

<PAGE>   25



                  (k) no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or
agency of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition
preventing the consummation of the Distribution shall be in effect, and no other
event outside the control of Parent shall have occurred or failed to occur that
prevents the consummation of the Distribution; and

                  (l) no other events or developments shall have occurred that,

Date, to aggregate all such fractional shares and sell the whole shares obtained
thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices, and to
cause to be distributed to each such holder or for the benefit of each such
beneficial owner, in lieu of any fractional share, such holder's or owner's
ratable share of the proceeds of such sale, without interest, after making
appropriate deductions of the amount required to be withheld for federal income
tax purposes and after deducting an amount equal to all brokerage charges,

                  (a) The parties intend that any Liability subject to
indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will
be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability.
Accordingly, the amount which any party (an "Indemnifying Party") is required to
pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnitee") will
be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee
receives a payment (an "Indemnity Payment") required by this Agreement from an
Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives
Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of
the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had
been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

                  (b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any
claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or,
solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation
rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no
insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a "windfall" (i.e., a
benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the
indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall obligate
any member of any Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds.

         4.5      PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY ACTIONS.

                  (a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn
of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a
member of the Parent Group or the Company Group of any Action (collectively, a
"Third Party Action") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be
obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2
or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such
Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 20
days after becoming aware of such Third Party Action. Any such notice shall
describe the Third Party Action in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this
Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under
this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

                  (b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the
Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to
settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such
Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third Party Action. Within 30 days after
the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or
sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Action so requires), the Indemnifying
Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election to assume responsibility for
defending such Third Party Action, which election shall specify any reservations
or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense of a Third Party Action, such Indemnitee shall
have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate reasonably in (but





                                      -30-
<PAGE>   31



not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be paid by the
Indemnifying Party if in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnitee a conflict
of interest would arise from the use by the Indemnifying Party of its proposed
counsel in the defense of the Third Party Action. With respect to any such Third
Party Action assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the parties agree to provide
each other with all material information that they request relating to the
handling of such matter.

                  (c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume
responsibility for defending a Third Party Action, or fails to notify an
Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 4.5(b), such Indemnitee may
defend such Third Party Action at the cost and expense (including allocated
costs of in-house counsel and other personnel) of the Indemnifying Party.

                  (d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the
defense of the Third Party Action in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Action without
the consent of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
4.5, the Indemnifying Party shall have no right to settle or compromise any
Action for which it has assumed the defense of (i) to the extent the settlement
or compromise provides for any injunctive or other equitable relief against the
Indemnified Party or otherwise provides for any continuing obligations of any
nature against the Indemnified Party or loss of rights of the Indemnified Party,
and (ii) unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release
of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action and does
not include a statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to
act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

                  (f) The provisions of this Section 4.5 and Section 4.6 shall
not apply to Taxes, which are covered by the Tax Sharing Agreement.

         4.6      ADDITIONAL MATTERS.

                  (a) Any claim on account of a Liability, which does not result
from a Third Party Action, shall be asserted by written notice given by an
Indemnitee to an Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period
of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If
such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to
make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day




                                      -31-
<PAGE>   32



period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free
to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

                  (b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any
Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Action,
such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of
such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such
Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party
Action against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Action or
against any other person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying
Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense (including allocated
costs of in-house counsel and other personnel) of such Indemnifying Party, in
prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

                  (c) In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party
is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party
shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying
Party for the named defendant. If such substitution cannot be achieved for any
reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying
Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section and the Indemnifying
Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending
the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys'
fees, experts' fees and all other external expenses, and the allocated costs of
in-house counsel and other personnel), the costs of any judgment or settlement,
and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or
settlement.

         4.7 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall
be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude
assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all
other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

         4.8 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The rights and obligations of each of
Parent and the Company and their respective Indemnitee under this Article IV
shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or
businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

                                    ARTICLE V
                   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT GAINS

         5.1 CONTINGENT CLAIMS COMMITTEE. The Company and Parent shall establish
a Contingent Claims Committee, comprising one representative designated from
time to time by each of Parent and the Company, which Committee shall establish
procedures to resolve disagreements among the parties as to contingent gains and
contingent liabilities.





                                      -32-
<PAGE>   33



         5.2 SHARED CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. The Company and Parent will have the
exclusive responsibility for any contingent liability that relates to the
Company Business or the Parent Business, respectively, or is expressly assigned
to the Company or Parent pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement,
respectively, including, but not limited to, those contingent liabilities listed
on SCHEDULE 5.2 to this Agreement (an "Exclusive Contingent Liability"). The
parties shall share responsibility for any contingent liabilities that are not
Exclusive Contingent Liabilities (a "Shared Contingent Liability"). With respect
to any Shared Contingent Liability, the responsibility therefor shall be
allocated one-half to each of the Company and the Parent, or on such other
methodology to be established by the Contingent Claims Committee. Parent will
assume the defense of, and may seek to settle or compromise, any Third Party
Action that is a Shared Contingent Liability, and the Company and Parent shall
share the costs and expenses thereof.

         5.3 CONTINGENT GAINS. The Company and Parent will have the exclusive
right to any benefit received with respect to any contingent gain that primarily
relates to the business of, or that is expressly assigned to, the Company or
Parent, respectively (an "Exclusive Contingent Gain"). Each of the Company and
Parent will have sole and exclusive authority to manage, control and otherwise
determine all matters whatsoever with respect to an Exclusive Contingent Gain
that primarily relates to its respective business. The parties will share any
benefit that may be received from any contingent gain other than any Exclusive
Contingent Gain (a "Shared Contingent Gain") equally between the Company and the
Parent, or on such other methodology to be established by the Contingent Claims
Committee. Parent will have the sole and exclusive authority to manage, control
and otherwise determine all matters whatsoever with respect to any Shared
Contingent Gain. Parent may elect not to pursue any Shared Contingent Gain for
any reason whatsoever, including a different assessment of the merits of any
action, claim or right or any business reasons that are in the best interest of
Parent without regard to the best interests of the Company, and Parent will have
no liability to any Person, including the Company, as a result of any such
determination.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                INSURANCE MATTERS

         6.1      SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST RIGHTS.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement,
the parties intend by this Agreement that the Company and each other member of
the Company Group be successors-in-interest to all rights that any member of the
Company Group may have as of the Distribution Date as a subsidiary, affiliate,
division or department of Parent prior to the Distribution Date under any policy
of insurance issued to Parent by any insurance carrier unaffiliated with Parent
or under any agreements related to such policies executed and delivered prior to
the Distribution Date, including any rights such member of the Company Group may
have, as an insured or additional named insured, subsidiary, affiliate, division





                                      -33-
<PAGE>   34



or department, to avail itself of any such policy of insurance or any such
agreements related to such policies as in effect prior to the Distribution Date.
At the request of the Company, Parent shall take all reasonable steps, including
the execution and delivery of any instruments, to effect the foregoing;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Parent shall not be required to pay any amounts, waive
any rights or incur any Liabilities in connection therewith.

                  (b) Except as otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary
Agreement, after the Distribution Date, none of Parent or the Company or any
member of their respective Groups shall, without the consent of the other,
provide any such insurance carrier with a release, or amend, modify or waive any
rights under any such policy or agreement, if such release, amendment,
modification or waiver would adversely affect any rights or potential rights of
any member of the other Group thereunder; provided, HOWEVER, that the foregoing
shall not (i) preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from
exhausting any policy limit, (ii) require any member of any Group to pay any
premium or other amount or to incur any Liability, or (iii) require any member
of any Group to renew, extend or continue any policy in force. Each of the
Company and Parent will share such information as is reasonably necessary in
order to permit the other to manage and conduct its insurance matters in an
orderly fashion.

         6.2 NO ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement is not intended as an attempted
assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall
not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Parent Group
in respect of any Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

         6.3 NO LIABILITY. The Company does hereby, for itself and each other
member of the Company Group, agree that no member of the Parent Group or any
Parent Indemnitees shall have any Liability to the Company or to any other
member of the Company Group whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and
practices of Parent and its Affiliates as in effect at any time prior to the
Distribution Date, including as a result of the level or scope of any such
insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and
conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any
insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

         6.4 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
restrict any member of the Company Group from acquiring at its own expense any
other insurance policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                    EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

         7.1      AGREEMENT FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; ARCHIVES.

                  (a) Each of Parent and the Company, on behalf of its
respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other
Group, at any time before or after the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably
practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or
under the control of such respective Group which the requesting party reasonably
needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements
imposed on the requesting party, including under applicable securities or tax
laws by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party,
(ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative, tax or other
proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory,
litigation, tax or other similar requirements, or (iii) to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Liability;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that any party determines that any such
provision of Information could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or
agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege or other privilege, the
parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such
obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

                  (b) After the Distribution Date, each of Parent and the
Company shall have access during regular business hours to the documents and
objects of historic significance located in the other's records that relate to
each party's respective business. Each of Parent and the Company may (i) obtain
copies (but not originals) of documents for bona fide business purposes and (ii)
may obtain objects for exhibition purposes for commercially reasonable periods
of time if required for bona fide business purposes, provided that the parties
shall cause any such objects to be returned promptly in the same condition in
which they were delivered, the parties shall comply with any rules, procedures
or other requirements, and shall be subject to any restrictions (including
prohibitions on removal of specified objects), that are then applicable to the
party providing the documents or objects. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
restrict the access of any member of the Parent Group or the Company Group to
any such documents or objects or to impose any liability on any member of the
Parent Group or the Company Group if any such documents or objects are not
maintained or preserved by the Parent or Company, as the case may be.

                  (c) After the date hereof, (i) the Company shall maintain in
effect at its own cost and expense adequate systems and controls to the extent
necessary to enable the members of the Parent Group to satisfy their respective
reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations, and (ii) the Company shall
provide, or cause to be provided, to Parent in such form as Parent shall
request, at no charge to Parent, all financial and other data and information as
Parent determines necessary or advisable in order to prepare Parent financial
statements and reports or filings with any Governmental Authority.





                                      -35-
<PAGE>   36




                  (d) Parent's human resources department shall have access to
the PeopleSoft Payroll System to review all history data for current and former
Parent employees. Such access shall be continuously available until such time as
an adequate extract of the data is provided to Parent's human resources
department. The specifications of the extract are to be determined by Parent's
human resources department and will be coordinated with the Company's and
Parent's information technology departments.

         7.2 OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION. Any Information owned by one Group that
is provided to a requesting party pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be deemed to
remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth
herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or
conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

         7.3 COMPENSATION FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION. The party requesting
Information agrees to reimburse the other party for the reasonable costs, if
any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information, to the extent that
such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting party. Except as may
be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other
agreement between the parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with
the providing party's standard methodology and procedures.

         7.4 RECORD RETENTION. To facilitate the possible exchange of
Information pursuant to this Article VII and other provisions of this Agreement
after the Distribution Date, the parties agree to use their reasonable best
efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control on
the Distribution Date in accordance with the policies of Parent as in effect on
the Distribution Date. No party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries
to destroy, any Information which the other party may have the right to obtain
pursuant to this Agreement prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof
without first using its reasonable best efforts to notify the other party of the
proposed destruction and giving the other party the opportunity to take
possession of such information prior to such destruction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in the case of any Information relating to Taxes or to Environmental
Liabilities, such period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof).

         7.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as provided in Section 2.4(b), no
party shall have any liability to any other party in the event that any
Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement which is an
estimate or forecast, or which is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to
be inaccurate, in the absence of willful misconduct by the party providing such
Information. No party shall have any liability to any other party if any
Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by such party to comply
with the provisions of Section 7.4.




                                      -36-
<PAGE>   37



         7.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS PROVIDING FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. The rights
and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific
limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or
confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

         7.7      PRODUCTION OF WITNESSES; RECORDS; COOPERATION.

                  (a) After the Distribution Date, except in the case of an
adversarial Action by one party against another party (which shall be governed
by such discovery rules as may be applicable under Article VIII or otherwise),
each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the
other party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors,
officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective
Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control
or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any
such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors,
officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other
documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the
requesting party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such
Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought
hereunder. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses (including
allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel) in connection
therewith.

                  (b) If an Indemnifying Party or Parent chooses to defend or to
seek to compromise or settle any Third Party Action, or if any party chooses to
prosecute or otherwise evaluate or to pursue any Contingent Gain, the other
parties shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, Parent or such other
party, as the case may be, upon written request, the former, current and future
directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its
respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within
its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the
extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such
directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or
other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense,
settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the
case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or
compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

                  (c) Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall
cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any
Actions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Gains.

                  (d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 7.7, each
of the parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective
Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or
similar claim with respect to any intellectual property and shall not claim to
acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to




                                      -37-
<PAGE>   38



acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any intellectual property of a
third Person in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such
infringement or similar claim.

                  (e) The obligation of the parties to provide witnesses
pursuant to this Section 7.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to
facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses
inventors and other officers and employees without regard to whether the witness
or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict
(subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 7.7(a)).

                  (f) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section
7.7, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement
so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client
privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

         7.8      CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  (a) Subject to Section 8.7(c), each of Parent and the Company,
on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and
to cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants,
counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence,
with at least the same degree of care that applies to Parent's confidential and
proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution
Date, all Information concerning each such other Group that is either in its
possession (including Information in its possession prior to the date hereof, or
the Distribution Date) or furnished by any such other Group or its respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors
and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary
Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such Information other than for
such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except,
in each case, to the extent that such Information has been (i) in the public
domain through no fault of such party or any member of such Group or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel
and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other
sources by such party (or any member of such party's Group) which sources are
not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently
generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of
the other party.

                  (b) Each party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to
be released or disclosed, any such Information to any other Person, except its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors
and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of
their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), except in
compliance with Section 7.9. Without limiting the foregoing, when any
Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement





                                      -38-
<PAGE>   39



or any Ancillary Agreement, each party will promptly either return to the other
party all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all
notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other party that
it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and such notes,
extracts or summaries based thereon).

         7.9 PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS. In the event that any party or any member
of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required
to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable law or receives any demand
under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide
Information of any other party (or any member of any other party's Group) that
is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such party shall notify the
other party prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall
cooperate at the expense of the other party in seeking any reasonable protective
arrangements requested by such other party including, without limitation,
injunctive or equitable relief. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that
received such request may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the
extent required by such law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or
such Governmental Authority.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                         ARBITRATION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         8.1 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Except as
specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the procedures for negotiation
and arbitration set forth in this Article VIII shall apply to all disputes,
controversies or claims (a "Dispute")that relate to this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, or result from the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or the commercial or economic relationship of the parties relating
hereto or thereto, between or among any member of the Parent Group and the
Company Group. Each party agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its
respective Group that the procedures set forth in this Article VIII shall be the
exclusive remedy in connection with any Dispute relating to any of the foregoing
matters, and hereby irrevocably waives any right to commence any Action before
any Governmental Authority as well as any right to a jury trial for any action,
except as expressly provided in Sections 8.7(b) and 8.8 and except to the extent
provided under the Arbitration Act in the case of judicial review of arbitration
results.

         8.2      ESCALATION.

                  (a) The parties intend to use their best efforts to resolve
expeditiously any Dispute among them with respect to the matters covered hereby
that may arise on a mutually acceptable basis. In furtherance of the foregoing,
any party may deliver a notice (an "Escalation Notice") demanding an in person
meeting involving senior level management representatives of the parties (or if
the parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within
such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General




                                      -39-
<PAGE>   40



Counsel, or like official, of each party. Procedures for such negotiations
between the parties may be established by the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the parties shall use their best efforts to meet within 30 days of the
Escalation Notice.

                  (b) The parties may, by mutual consent, retain a mediator to
aid the parties in their negotiations who will informally provide advice to the
parties. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall not bind the parties, nor
shall it be admissible in any arbitration proceedings. Costs of the mediation
shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the matter, except that each
party shall be responsible for its own attorney's fees and its other costs and
expenses.

         8.3      DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION.

                  (a) At any time after the first to occur of (i) the date of
the meeting actually held pursuant to the applicable Escalation Notice or (ii)
45 days after the delivery of an Escalation Notice, any party involved in the
Dispute (regardless of whether such party delivered the Escalation Notice) may,
unless the Applicable Deadline has occurred, make a written demand (the
"Arbitration Demand Notice") that the Dispute be resolved by binding
arbitration, which Arbitration Demand Notice shall be given to the parties in
the manner set forth in Section 10.5. In the event that any party shall deliver
an Arbitration Demand Notice to another party, such other party may itself
deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to such first party with respect to any
related Dispute with respect to which the Applicable Deadline has not passed
without the requirement of delivering an Escalation Notice. No party may assert
that the failure to resolve any matter during any negotiations, the course of
conduct during the negotiations or the failure to agree on mutually acceptable
procedures for the meeting, in each case, as contemplated by this Article VIII,
is a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration under this Section 8.3. In the
event that any party delivers an Arbitration Demand Notice that is the subject
of any then pending arbitration proceeding or of a previously delivered
Arbitration Demand Notice, all such Disputes shall be resolved in the
arbitration proceeding for which an Arbitration Demand Notice was first
delivered unless the arbitrator in his or her sole discretion determines that it
is impracticable or inadvisable to do so.

                  (b) Except as may be expressly provided in any Ancillary
Agreement, no Arbitration Demand Notice may be given more than one year and 45
days after the later of the occurrence of the act giving rise to the underlying
claim and the date on which such act was, or should have been, in the exercise
of reasonable due diligence, discovered by the party asserting the claim (the
"Applicable Deadline"). Any negotiations or mediations between the parties
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise will not toll the Applicable Deadline
unless the parties expressly agree in writing.

         8.4      ARBITRATORS.

                  (a) Within 15 days after an Arbitration Demand Notice is
given, the parties involved in the Dispute referenced therein shall attempt to
select a sole arbitrator satisfactory to all such parties.

                  (b) In the event that such parties are not able jointly to
select a sole arbitrator within such 15-day period, each such party shall
appoint an arbitrator within 30 days after delivery of the Arbitration Demand
Notice. If one party appoints an arbitrator and the other party or parties fail
to appoint an arbitrator within such time period, the arbitrator appointed by
the one party shall be the sole arbitrator of the Dispute.

                  (c) In the event that a sole arbitrator is not selected
pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above and, instead, two arbitrators are
selected pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the two arbitrators will, within 30
days after the appointment of the later of them to be appointed, select an
additional arbitrator who shall act as the sole arbitrator of the Dispute. In
the event that the arbitrators so appointed do not, within 30 days after the
appointment of the later of them to be appointed, agree on the selection of the
sole arbitrator, any party involved in such Dispute may apply to the CPR to
select the sole arbitrator, which shall make such selection within 30 days after
such application. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall
have no business or other relationship with respect to any of the parties and
the matter and shall be reasonably competent in the applicable Dispute.

                  (d) The sole arbitrator selected pursuant to paragraph (a),
(b) or (c) above will set a time for the hearing of the Dispute which will
commence no later than 90 days after the date of his or her appointment. The
hearing will be no longer than 30 days (unless in the judgment of the arbitrator
the matter is unusually complex and thereby requires a longer time, in which
event such hearing shall be no longer than 90 days). The arbitrator must render
a final decision to the parties not later than 60 days after the last hearing
date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.

                  (e) The place for any arbitration hereunder will be Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.

         8.5 HEARINGS. Within the time period specified in Section 8.4(d), the
matter shall be presented to the arbitrator at a hearing by means of written
submissions of memoranda and verified witness statements, filed simultaneously.
Responses by the parties as well may be required by the arbitrator. If the
arbitrator deems it to be essential to a fair resolution of the Dispute, live
direct or cross examination may be permitted, but is not generally contemplated
to be necessary. The arbitrator shall actively manage the arbitration with a
view to achieving a speedy and cost-effective resolution of the Dispute. The
arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, set limits on the presentation of each






                                      -41-
<PAGE>   42



party's case, and refuse to receive any proffered evidence, which the
arbitrator, in his or her discretion, finds to be cumulative, irrelevant or of
low probative nature. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any arbitration
hereunder will be conducted in accordance with the CPR Rules for
Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes then prevailing (except that
the fee schedule of CPR will not apply). Except as expressly set forth in
Section 8.8(b), the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the
parties, and judgment thereon may be had and will be enforceable in any court
having jurisdiction over the parties. Arbitration awards will bear interest at
an annual rate of the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum. To the extent that the
provisions of this Agreement and the prevailing rules of the CPR conflict, the
provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

         8.6      DISCOVERY AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS.

                  (a) Any party involved in the applicable Dispute may request
limited document production from the other parties of relevant documents, with
the reasonable expenses of the producing party paid by the requesting party. Any
such discovery shall be conducted expeditiously and shall not cause the hearing
provided for in Section 8.5 to be adjourned, except upon consent of all parties
involved in the applicable Dispute or upon an extraordinary showing of cause
demonstrating that such adjournment is necessary to permit discovery essential
to a party to the proceeding. Depositions, interrogatories or other forms of
discovery (other than the document production described above) shall not occur
except by consent of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute. Disputes
concerning the scope of document production requests will be determined by
written agreement of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute or, failing
such agreement, will be referred to the arbitrator. All discovery requests will
be subject to the parties' rights to claim any applicable privilege. The
arbitrator will adopt procedures to protect the proprietary rights of the
parties and to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration proceedings (to
the extent permissible by law). Subject to the foregoing, the arbitrator shall
have the power to issue subpoenas to compel the production of documents relevant
to the Dispute.

                  (b) The arbitrator shall have the authority to determine
issues of arbitrability but shall otherwise be limited to interpreting the
applicable provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and will
have no authority to limit, expand, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any
provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. However, the arbitrator
will have the authority to implement the provisions of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of this
Agreement (including interim or permanent injunctive relief); provided that the
arbitrator shall not have (i) any authority in excess of the authority a court
having jurisdiction over the parties and the Dispute would have absent these
arbitration provisions or (ii) any right to award punitive damages.

                  (c) If a party fails to appear at an arbitration hearing after
due notice, the arbitrator may determine the Dispute upon evidence produced by
the appearing party or parties, as the case may be.





                                      -42-
<PAGE>   43



                  (d) Arbitration costs will be borne equally by each party
involved in the matter, except that each party will be responsible for its own
attorney's fees and other costs and expenses, including the costs of witnesses
selected by such party.

         8.7      CERTAIN ADDITIONAL MATTERS.

                  (a) Any arbitration award shall be limited to a holding for or
against a party without findings as to facts, issues or conclusions of law and
without a statement of the reasoning on which the award rests, but must be in
adequate form so that a judgment of a court may be entered thereupon by any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

                  (b) Prior to the time at which an arbitrator is appointed
pursuant to Section 8.4, any party may seek a more temporary restraining order
in a court of competent jurisdiction if necessary in order to preserve the
status quo. Neither the request for, or grant or denial of, any such temporary
restraining order shall be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate as set
forth herein and the arbitrator may dissolve, continue or modify any such order.

                  (c) Except as required by law, the parties shall hold the
existence, content and result of mediation or arbitration in confidence in
accordance with the provisions of Article VII, except as may be required in
order to enforce any award. Each party shall request that any mediator or
arbitrator selected comply with such confidentiality requirement.

         8.8      LIMITED COURT ACTIONS.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event that any party reasonably determines the amount in controversy in any
Dispute (or any series of related Disputes) under this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement is, or is reasonably likely to be, in excess of $25 million
and if such party desires to commence an Action in lieu of complying with the
arbitration provisions of this Article, such party shall so state in its
Arbitration Demand Notice or by notice given to the other parties within 20 days
after receipt of an Arbitration Demand Notice with respect thereto. If the other
parties to the arbitration do not agree that the amount in controversy in such
Dispute (or such series of related Disputes) is, or is reasonably likely to be,
in excess of $25 million, the arbitrator selected pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof
shall decide whether the amount in controversy in such Dispute (or such series
of related Disputes) is, or is reasonably likely to be, in excess of $25
million. There shall not be any discovery in connection with such issue. The
arbitrator shall set a date that is no later than ten days after the date of his
or her appointment for submissions by the parties with respect to such issue.
The arbitrator shall render his or her decision on such issue within five days







                                      -43-
<PAGE>   44



of such date so set by the arbitrator. In the event that the arbitrator
determines that the amount in controversy in such Dispute (or such series of
related Disputes) is or is reasonably likely to be in excess of $25 million, the
provisions of Sections 8.4(d) and (e), 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.10 hereof shall not
apply and on or before (but, except as expressly set forth in Section 8.8(b),
not after) the tenth business day after the date of such decision, any party to
the arbitration may elect, in lieu of arbitration, to commence an Action with
respect to such Dispute (or such series of related Disputes) in any court of
competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator does not so determine, the provisions
of this Article (including with respect to time periods) shall apply as if no
determinations were sought or made pursuant to this Section 8.8(a).

                  (b) In the event that an arbitration award in excess of $25
million is issued in any arbitration proceeding commenced hereunder, either
party may, within 60 days after the date of such award, submit the Dispute (or
series of related Disputes) giving rise thereto to a court of competent
jurisdiction, regardless of whether such party or any other party sought to
commence an Action in lieu of proceeding with arbitration in accordance with
Section 8.8(a). In such event, the applicable court may elect to rely on the
record developed in the arbitration or, if it determines that it would be
advisable in connection with the matter, allow the parties to seek additional
discovery or to present additional evidence. Each party shall be entitled to
present arguments to the court with respect to whether any such additional
discovery or evidence shall be permitted and with respect to all other matters
relating to the applicable Dispute.

                  (c) No party shall raise as a defense the statute of
limitations if the applicable Arbitration Demand Notice was delivered on or
prior to the Applicable Deadline and, if applicable, if the matter is submitted
to a court of competent jurisdiction within the 10-day period or 60-day period
specified in Section 8.8(a) or Section 8.8(b), respectively.

         8.9 CONTINUITY OF SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing, the parties will continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement
and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to
the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to matters not subject to such
Dispute.

         8.10 LAW GOVERNING ARBITRATION PROCEDURES. The interpretation of the
provisions of this Article VIII, only insofar as they relate to the agreement to
arbitrate and any procedures pursuant thereto, shall be governed by the
Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. In all other respects, the
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed as set forth in Section 10.2.

<PAGE>   45


                  (a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable
best efforts, prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, to take, or cause to
be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements
to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements.

                  (b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the
Distribution Date, each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties, and
without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting party,
to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be
executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance,
assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all
consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument
(including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other
actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by any other party
hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the Company Assets
and the assignment and assumption of the Company Liabilities, the transfers of
the Excluded Assets and the assignment and assumption of the Excluded
Liabilities, and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without
limiting the foregoing, each party will, at the reasonable request, cost and
expense of any other party, take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to vest in such other party good and marketable title, free and clear
of any Security Interest, to Company Assets or Excluded Assets, as the case may
be, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

                  (c) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Parent and the
Company in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of
their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions which are
reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Parent or the Company, or any
other Subsidiary of Parent or Company, as the case may be, to effectuate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (d) Parent and the Company and each of the members of their
respective Groups waive, and agree not to assert against any of the others, any
claim or demand that any of them may have against any of the others for any
Liabilities or other claims relating to or arising out of: (i) the failure of
the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, or of Parent,
or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, to provide any
notification or disclosure required under any state Environmental Law or to any
airport authority in connection with the Separation or the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the transfer by any member of any
Group to any member of any other Group of ownership or operational control of
any Assets not previously owned or operated by such transferee; or (ii) any
inadequate, incorrect or incomplete notification or disclosure under any such
state Environmental Law or to any airport authority by the applicable
transferor. To the extent any Liability to any Governmental Authority or any







                                      -45-
<PAGE>   46


third Person arises out of any action or inaction described in clause (i) or
(ii) above, the transferee of the applicable Asset hereby assumes and agrees to
pay any such Liability. The Company and each of the members of the Company Group
waive, and agree not to assert against Parent or any member of the Parent Group
any claim or demand for any liabilities or other claims relating to or arising
out of the failure of Parent or any member of the Parent Group to obtain any
approval from any airport authority of the assignment of any airport lease
concession or any rights with respect thereto.

                  (e) Prior to the Distribution Date, if either party identifies
any commercial or other service that is needed to assure a smooth and orderly
transition of the businesses in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, and that is not otherwise governed by the
provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the parties will
cooperate in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable arm's-length
basis on which one of the parties will provide such service.

         10.1     COUNTERPARTS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CORPORATE POWER.

                  (a) This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and
the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts
have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party.

                  (b) This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the
Exhibits, Schedules and Appendices hereto and thereto together contain the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings,
understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to the subject matter
herein or therein, and there are no agreements or understandings between the
parties other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein.

                  (c) Parent represents on behalf of itself and each other
member of the Parent Group, and the Company represents on behalf of itself and
each other member of the Company Group:

                            (i) each such Person has the requisite corporate or
         other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action
         necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and
         each other Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and to
         consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

                           (ii) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to
         which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and
         constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against such
         party in accordance with the terms thereof.

                  (d) Each party hereto acknowledges that it and each other
party hereto is executing certain of the Ancillary Agreements by facsimile,
stamp or mechanical signature. Each party hereto expressly adopts and confirms
each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature made in its respective name
as if it were a manual signature, agrees that it will not assert that any such
signature is not adequate to bind such party to the same extent as if it were
signed manually and agrees that at the reasonable request of any other party
hereto at any time it will, as promptly as reasonably practicable, cause each
such Ancillary Agreement to be manually executed, any such execution to be as of
the date of the date thereof.

         10.2 GOVERNING LAW. Except as set forth in Section 8.10, this Agreement
and, unless expressly provided therein, each Ancillary Agreement, shall be
governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of Florida.

         10.3 ASSIGNABILITY. Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement,
this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, respectively, and their
respective successors and assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no party hereto or
thereto may assign its respective rights or delegate its respective obligations
under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without the express prior
written consent of the other parties hereto or thereto.

         10.4 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except for the indemnification rights
under this Agreement of any Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in their
respective capacities as such, (i) the provisions of this Agreement and each
Ancillary Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties and are not
intended to confer upon any Person except the parties any rights or remedies
hereunder, and (ii) there are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement and neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement
shall provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement,
claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

         10.5 NOTICES. All notices or other communications under this Agreement
or any Ancillary Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly
given when (i) delivered in person or (ii) deposited in the United States mail
or private express mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the principal executive

officer with a copy to such party's general counsel. Any party may, by notice to
the other party, change the address to which such notices are to be given.

         10.6 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to
Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has
been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and
shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the
economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
as the case may be, is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon
such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to
agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent
of the parties.

         10.7 FORCE MAJEURE. No party shall be deemed in default of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its
fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority,
embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes,
floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of
parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in electrical or air
conditioning equipment. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for
performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of
the delay.

         10.8 PUBLICITY. Prior to the Distribution, each of the Company and
Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or
otherwise making public statements with respect to the Distribution or any of
the other transactions contemplated hereby and prior to making any filings with
any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

         10.9 EXPENSES. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in
any Ancillary Agreement, whether or not the Distribution is consummated, all
third party fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Parent in connection

Ruling. Furthermore, all third party fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred
by Company in connection with the Separation and Distribution will be paid by

         10.10 HEADINGS. The article, section and paragraph headings contained
in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

         10.11 SURVIVAL. Except as expressly set forth herein or in any
Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and liability for the breach of any
obligations contained herein, shall survive each of the Separation and the
Distribution.

         10.12 WAIVERS OF DEFAULT. Waiver by any party of any default by the
other party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall
not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default,
nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other party.

         10.13 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. In the event of any actual or threatened
default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be
thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or
other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary
Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in
equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties agree
that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary
damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss 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.

         10.14    AMENDMENTS.

                  (a) No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement
shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any party, unless
such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by
the authorized representative of the party against whom it is sought to enforce
such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

                  (b) Without limiting the foregoing, the parties anticipate
that, prior to the Distribution Date, some or all of the Schedules to this
Agreement may be amended or supplemented and, in such event, such amended or
supplemented Schedules shall be attached hereto in lieu of the original
Schedules.
