faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all of the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a Parent Liability), 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 Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Parent’s or
SpinCo’s respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of

agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates: 
 (i) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses and
any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Parent Group Employees and Former Parent Group Employees after the Effective Time, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation,

 (ii) any and all Liabilities
whatsoever with respect to claims under a Parent Benefit Plan, taking into account a corresponding SpinCo Benefit Plan’s assumption of Liabilities with respect to SpinCo Group Employees and Former SpinCo Group Employees that were originally the
Liabilities of such Parent Benefit Plan with respect to periods prior to the Effective Time; and 
 (iii) any and all Liabilities expressly
assumed or retained by any member of the Parent Group pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (c) Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that

 Section 2.02. Service Credit. As of the Effective Time, the SpinCo Benefit Plans
shall, and SpinCo shall cause each member of the SpinCo Group to, recognize for each SpinCo Group Employee who is employed immediately following the Effective Time by a member of the SpinCo Group and each Former SpinCo Group Employee full service
with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor entities at or before the Effective Time, to the same extent that such service was recognized by Parent for similar purposes prior to the Effective Time as if such full service had been performed
for a member of the SpinCo Group, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of level of benefits under any such SpinCo Benefit Plan. 

Section 2.03. Adoption and Transfer and Assumption of Benefit Plans. 

(a) Adoption by SpinCo of Benefit Plans. As of no later than the Effective Time, SpinCo shall adopt Benefit Plans (and related trusts,

and after the Effective Time, SpinCo shall retain all of the SpinCo Benefits Plans, including all related Liabilities and Assets, and any related trusts and other funding vehicles and insurance contracts of any of such plans other than as
specifically provided in this Agreement; provided, however, that SpinCo may make such changes, modifications or amendments to such SpinCo Benefit Plans as may be required by applicable Law or to reflect the Separation and Distribution
Agreement, including limiting participation in any such SpinCo Benefit Plan to SpinCo Group Employees and Former SpinCo Group Employees who participated in the corresponding Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this
Agreement shall preclude SpinCo, at any time after the Effective Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any SpinCo Benefit Plan, any benefit under any SpinCo Benefit Plan or
any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any SpinCo Benefit Plan, or any employment or other service arrangement with SpinCo Group Employees, independent contractors or vendors (to the extent permitted by law). 

(c) Plans Not Required to Be Adopted. With respect to any Benefit Plan not addressed in this Agreement, the Parties shall agree
in good faith on the treatment of such plan taking into account the handling of any comparable plan under this Agreement and, notwithstanding that SpinCo shall not have an obligation to continue to maintain any such plan with respect to the
provision of future benefits from and after the Effective Time, SpinCo shall remain obligated to pay or provide any previously accrued or incurred benefits to the SpinCo Group Employees and Former SpinCo Group Employees consistent with Section
2.01(a) of this Agreement. 
 (d) Information and Operation. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide
the other Party with information describing each Benefit Plan election made by an Employee or Former Employee that may have application to such Party’s Benefit Plans from and after the Effective Time, and each Party shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to administer its Benefit Plans using those elections. Each Party shall, upon reasonable request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Party and the other Party’s respective Affiliates, agents, and
vendors all information reasonably necessary to the other Party’s operation or administration of its Benefit Plans.

 (e) No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, no participant in any Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in
duplication of benefits provided to such participant by the corresponding Benefit Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Group that sponsors the corresponding Benefit Plan. Furthermore, unless
expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to accelerate vesting
distributions or entitlements under any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by a member of the Parent Group or member of the SpinCo Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee. 

(f) Beneficiaries. References to Parent Group Employees, Former Parent Group Employees, SpinCo Group Employees, Former SpinCo Group

“Parent Group Employees”) is employed by a member of the Parent Group as of immediately after the Effective Time. Each of the Parties agrees to execute, and to seek to have the applicable Employees execute, such documentation, if
any, as may be necessary to reflect such assignment and/or transfer. 
 (b) At-Will Status.
Nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the SpinCo Group to (i) continue the employment of any Employee or permit the return from a leave of absence for any period
after the date of this Agreement (except as required by applicable Law) or (ii) change the employment status of any Employee from “at-will,” to the extent that such Employee is an “at-will” employee under applicable Law. 

  
 -13- 








 (c) Severance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Separation, the Distribution and
the assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of Employees as contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall not be deemed an involuntary termination of employment entitling any SpinCo Group Employee or Parent Group
Employee to severance payments or benefits. 
 (d) Not a Change in Control. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the
consummation of the Separation, the Distribution nor any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed a “change in control,” “change of
control” or term of similar import for purposes of any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by any member of the Parent Group or member of the SpinCo Group. 

(e) Payroll and Related Taxes. SpinCo shall (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, Tax withholding and reporting

a Former Parent Group Employee whose employment was terminated during the thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time (the “Non-Solicit Date”), in the case of SpinCo, or a SpinCo Group
Employee or a Former SpinCo Group Employee whose employment was terminated during the thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, in the case of Parent; provided, however, without limiting the generality of the foregoing
prohibition on solicitation and hiring Employees of the other Party, this Section 3.02 shall not prohibit (a) hiring resulting from generalized solicitations that are not directed to specific Persons or Employees of
the other Party, or (b) the solicitation and hiring of a Person whose employment was involuntarily terminated by the other Party. Except as provided in clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to involuntary
terminations, without regard to the use of the term “Employee” or “employs,” the restrictions under this Section 3.02 shall be applicable to the applicable Employee or Former Employee until the date that
is six (6) months after such Employee or Former Employee’s last date of employment with Parent or SpinCo, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions under this Section 3.02 shall not apply to
Former Parent Group Employees or Former SpinCo Group Employees whose most recent employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries was terminated prior to the Non-Solicit Date.

Section 8.03. Fiduciary Matters. Parent and SpinCo each acknowledges that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement
may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good-faith
determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that 

  
 -25- 








 
to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary
responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility. 

Section 8.04. Further Assurances. Each Party hereto shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all reasonable actions, including

as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement. Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in
portable document format (PDF)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were
signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause this Agreement to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of
the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.

hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement and all other Ancillary Agreements (except as may be
otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in connection with a change of control of a

intended to confer upon any other Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, Liability,

 Section 8.10. Severability. If any provision of this 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 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. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable

 Section 8.11. Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of
this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or
failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a

 Section 8.14. Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party
of any provision of this 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. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

Section 8.15. Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution
Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
