ARTICLE II




DETERMINATION OF CUMULATIVE REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

          (a) Exchange Assets. For purposes of this Agreement, TIP LLC shall be entitled to a
Basis Adjustment for the Exchange Assets with respect to the Corporation, the amount of which Basis
Adjustment will be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of (x) the Market Value of the Class A
Shares, cash or the amount of any other consideration transferred to the Applicable Member pursuant
to the Exchange as payment for the exchanged Units, to the extent attributable to such Exchange
Assets, plus (y) the amount of payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such
Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets, plus (z) the amount of debt and other
liabilities allocated to the Units acquired pursuant to such Exchange, to the extent attributable
to such Exchange Assets; over (ii) the Corporation’s share of TIP LLC’s basis for such Exchange
Assets immediately after the Exchange, attributable to the Units exchanged, determined as if (x)
TIP LLC were to remain in existence as an entity for Tax purposes and (y) TIP LLC had not made the
election provided by Section 754 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise
specifically noted, the tax principles set forth in the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations
are to be applied in making the determinations necessary in this Section 2.01.




          (b) Imputed Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement
shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as
Imputed Interest.




          Section 2.02. Exchange Basis Schedule. Within 45 calendar days after the filing of
the United States federal income Tax return of the Corporation for each Taxable Year, the
Corporation shall deliver to each Member a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that

and/or depreciable and (iv) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is

Assumptions).

          Section 2.03. Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 45 calendar days after the filing of the
United States federal income Tax return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year in which there is a
Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporation shall provide to each Member a
schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax
Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will
become final as provided in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.04(b).




          Section 2.04. Procedures, Amendments.




          (a) Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to the Applicable Member an
applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to
Section 2.04(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination
Schedule, the Corporation also shall (x) deliver to the Applicable Member schedules and work papers
providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of such Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter
supporting such Schedule and (y) allow the Applicable Member reasonable access, at no cost, to the
appropriate representatives at the Corporation and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of
such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the
Applicable Member, within 30 calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment
thereto or a Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of a
material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the
parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within
30 calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice with respect to such Exchange
Basis Schedule or Tax Benefit Schedule, the Corporation and the Applicable Member shall employ the
reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation
Procedures”).




          (b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from
time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule,
(ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of
additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided
to the Applicable Member, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation
Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment
for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to
such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax
Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year,
or (vi) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this
Agreement (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).




ARTICLE III




TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION




          Section 3.01. Payments.




-10-









 








          (a) Payments. Within three (3) business days of a Tax Benefit Schedule that was
delivered to an Applicable Member becoming final in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the
Corporation shall pay to the Applicable Member for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment
determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Member previously
designated by such Member to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment
shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including, without limitation, U.S. federal
income Tax payments.




          (b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means an amount, not less than zero, equal to 85% of the
sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The “Net Tax Benefit” for each Taxable Year
shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of
the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section
3.01, excluding payments attributable to the Interest Amount. The “Interest Amount” for a
given Taxable Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated
at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with
respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable Year until the Payment Date. The Net Tax
Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate
Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a
Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to Units that were exchanged
(i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of
Control, shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1), (3), and (4), substituting in
each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date”.




          (c) For purposes of clarity, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that TIP,
Inc. shall receive all Tax Benefit Payments with respect to the Basis Adjustments associated with
the Original Sale. Members (including TIP, Inc., if applicable) shall be entitled to Tax Benefit
Payments hereunder when such Member(s) (or their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives as permitted in this Agreement) engage(s) in an Exchange.




          Section 3.02. No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this
Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under
this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the
Corporation’s Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to
the Members pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the
appropriate manner to achieve these fundamental results.




          Section 3.03. Change Notices; Determinations; Repayment Obligation of Applicable
Members.




          (a) Receipt of Change Notice. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Applicable
Member(s) within thirty (30) calendar days in the event the Corporation receives a 30-day letter, a
final audit report, a statutory notice of deficiency, or similar written notice from any Taxing
Authority relating to the Tax treatment affecting the calculation of a Cumulative Net Realized Tax
Benefit under Section 3.01(b) for a prior Taxable Year (a “Change Notice”),



-11-









 






which, if sustained, would result in a reduction in the amount of Tax Benefit Payments which
the Corporation would be required to pay to an Applicable Member(s) for any Taxable Years after and
including the Taxable Year in which the Change of Notice is received, which notice shall include a
copy of the Change Notice. For avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to make Tax Benefit
Payments shall not be suspended upon the delivery of a Change Notice.




          (b) Receipt of Determination; Repayment Obligation. If a Determination affecting a
Tax Benefit Schedule is received by the Corporation, the Corporation shall promptly notify the
Applicable Member(s) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such Determination (a
“Determination Notice”), which notice shall include an Amended Schedule incorporating the
results of such Determination and an Advisory Firm Letter with respect to such Amended Schedule.
If the Tax Benefit Payments received by Applicable Member(s) for all prior Taxable Years exceeds
the amount set forth in such Amended Schedule for all such prior Taxable Years (an “Excess Tax
Benefit Payment”), the Applicable Member(s) shall repay to the Corporation, within thirty (30)
calendar days from the receipt of such Determination Notice, an amount equal to (x) the Excess Tax
Benefit Payment, less (y) the Aggregate Reduction Amount (the “Repayment Amount”). For
this purpose, “Aggregate Reduction Amount” means the sum of all Yearly Reduction Amounts.
The term “Yearly Reduction Amount” means, for any Taxable Year, the amount equal to the
product of (y) the portion of the Excess Tax Benefit Payment attributable to such Taxable Year
multiplied by (B) the Assumed Tax Rate applicable to such Taxable Year. No interest shall be paid
by the Applicable Member(s) with respect to the Repayment Amount. The Applicable Member(s) shall
not be liable for any interest and/or penalties to which the Corporation may be subject as a result
of the Determination. Any repayment obligation with respect to an Applicable Member under this
Section 3.03(b) shall be an unsecured obligation and a several liability (and not a joint
liability) of each Applicable Member. If the Tax Benefit Payments reflected in the Amended
Schedule for all prior Taxable Years exceeds the amount received by the Applicable Member(s) for
all such prior Taxable Years, the Corporation shall pay such amounts to the Applicable Members
within thirty (30) days and shall include interest at the Default Rate from the date such amounts
would have otherwise been paid with respect to the Taxable Year(s) which were the subject of the
Determination. The repayment obligation set forth in this Section 3.03(b) shall be the obligation
of the Applicable Member which received the Tax Benefit Payment reduced in the applicable Amended
Schedule.




ARTICLE IV




TERMINATION




          Section 4.01. Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.




          (a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Units held (or
previously held and Exchanged) by all Members at any time by paying to the Members the Early
Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate only upon the receipt
of the Early Termination Payment by all Members, and provided, further, that the Corporation may
withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a) prior to the time
at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination
Payments by the Corporation, neither the Members nor the



-12-









 






Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for
any (x) Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Corporation acting in good faith and the Applicable
Member to be due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (y) Tax Benefit
Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice
(except to the extent that the amount described in clause (y) is included in the Early Termination
Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation makes the Early
Termination Payments with respect to all Members, the Corporation shall have no obligations under
this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such
case shall be its obligations to all Members under Section 4.03(a).




          (b) In the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other
material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this
Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations
hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination
Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but shall not be limited
to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been
delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Corporation acting in
good faith and any Applicable Member to be due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach,
and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a
breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement,
the Members shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3)
above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to
make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due
shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of
this Agreement, and that it shall not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under
this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date
such payment is due. Any amounts due and payable as described in this Section 4.01(b) shall
include any interest provided thereon pursuant to Section 5.02.




          (c) The Corporation, TIP LLC and each of the Members hereby acknowledge that, as of the date
of this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot reasonably be ascertained
for United States federal income Tax or other applicable Tax purposes.




          Section 4.02. Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its
right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, the Corporation shall deliver to each present
or former Member notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination
Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s
intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early
Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties
unless an Applicable Member, within 30 calendar days after receiving the Early Termination
Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in
good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to
successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the
Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the applicable



-13-









 






Member shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this
Agreement.




          Section 4.03. Payment upon Early Termination.




          (a) Within three (3) business days after the Early Termination Schedule has become final and
binding, the Corporation shall pay to each Applicable Member an amount equal to the Early
Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
a bank account designated by the Applicable Member.




          (b) The “Early Termination Payment” as of the date of the delivery of an Early
Termination Schedule shall equal with respect to the Applicable Member the present value,
discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be
required to be paid by the Corporation to the Applicable Member beginning from the Early
Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.




ARTICLE V




SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS




          Section 5.01. Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the
Corporation to the Members under this Agreement (an “Exchange Payment”) shall rank
subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and
payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all
current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations.




          Section 5.02. Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of
any Exchange Payment not made to any Member when due (without regard to Section 5.01) under the
terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the
Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Exchange Payment was due and payable.




ARTICLE VI




NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION




          Section 6.01. Member Participation in the Corporation and TIP LLC’s Tax Matters.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole
discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation and TIP LLC, including without
limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or
settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify
each applicable Member of, and keep such applicable Member reasonably informed with respect to the
portion of any audit of the Corporation and TIP LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is
reasonably expected to affect such applicable Member’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
and shall provide to such applicable Member reasonable opportunity to provide information and other
input to the Corporation, TIP




-14-









 







LLC and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit;
provided, however, that the Corporation and TIP LLC shall not be required to take any action that
is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement.




          Section 6.02. Consistency. The Corporation and the Applicable Member agree to report
and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax
purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including without limitation the
Basis Adjustment and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the
Corporation in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this
Agreement. Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.09. In the
event that an Advisory Firm is replaced with another firm acceptable to the Corporation and the
Applicable Member, such replacement Advisory Firm shall be required to perform its services under
this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm,
unless (a) otherwise required by law or (b) the Corporation and the Applicable Member agree to the
use of other procedures and methodologies.




          Section 6.03. Cooperation. The Applicable Member shall (a) furnish to the Corporation
in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the Corporation may
reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate
under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or
controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporation and its
representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as
the Corporation or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters
described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter
described in clause (a) above. The Corporation shall reimburse the Applicable Member for any
reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.03.




ARTICLE VII

          The address and facsimile number set forth in the records of TIP LLC.




          Any party may change its address or fax number by giving the other party written notice of its
new address or fax number in the manner set forth above.




          Section 7.02. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail
message in “pdf” or similar format), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written
above, and, when delivered, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement and any other document required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and any
amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or
as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “pdf” or similar format, shall be treated in all
manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same
binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the
request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or
thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party
hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or
electronic mail attachment in “pdf” or similar format to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile
machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message as a defense to the formation of a
contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. A facsimile signature or
electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient
evidence of a party’s execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such
copy shall be deemed an original for purposes of this Section 7.02, and it shall not be necessary
in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.




          Section 7.03. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective



-16-









 






successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.




          Section 7.04. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws.




          Section 7.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the
economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.




          Section 7.06. Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.




          (a) No Member may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the
Corporation; provided, however, that (i) to the extent Units are transferred in accordance with the
terms of the LLC Agreement, the transferring Member shall have the option to assign to the
transferee of such Units the transferring Member’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to such transferred Units, as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in
connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, agreeing to become a “Member” for all
purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder, and (ii) once an Exchange
has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to a Member pursuant to this Agreement
with respect to the Exchanged Units may be assigned to any Person or Persons as long as any such
Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a
joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation,
agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12, acknowledging specifically the terms of the next paragraph of
this Section 7.06, and the obligations of Section 3.03(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Person
transfers Units (regardless of whether the transferee is a “Permitted Transferee” under the terms
of the LLC Agreement) but does not assign to the transferee of such Units such Person’s rights, if
any, under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such Person shall be entitled to
receive the Tax Benefit Payments, if any, due hereunder with respect to, including any Tax Benefit
Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of, such Units and such Person shall continue
to bear the obligations of Section 3.03(b).




          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.06, no transferee described in
clause (i) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph (except for an Excepted
Transferee) shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 2.04, 4.02, 6.01 or 6.02 of
this Agreement, and no assignee described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of the immediately
preceding paragraph shall have any rights under this Agreement except for the right



-17-









 






to enforce its right to receive payments under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, an Excepted
Transferee shall have all rights to enforce the provisions of Section 2.04, 4.02, 6.01 or 6.02 of
this Agreement and all other rights as if such Excepted Transferee were a Member holding Units.




          No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by
each of the Corporation, TIP LLC and by Members who would be entitled to receive at least
two-thirds of the Early Termination Payments payable to all Members hereunder if the Corporation
had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such
amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any Member pursuant to
this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, however,
that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate effect on
the payments certain Members will or may receive under this Agreement, unless such Members
disproportionately effected holding a majority of the Early Termination Payments payable to such
Members hereunder if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination under Section
4.01(a) on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of
this sentence, all payments made to such Members pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such
most recent Exchange) consent in writing to such amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective.




          Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the
parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to
perform if no such succession had taken place. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
the event a Member transfers his Units to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the LLC Agreement),
excluding any other Member, such Member shall have the right, on behalf of such transferee, to
enforce the provisions of Sections 2.04, 4.02, 6.01 or 6.02 with respect to such transferred Units.




          Section 7.07. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing
this Agreement.




          Section 7.08. Resolution of Disputes.




          (a) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any claim, action, suit or
proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in
connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and
determined in any Pennsylvania Commonwealth or federal court sitting in the city of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom in any such claim, action, suit or
proceeding) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any



-18-









 






objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such claim, action,
suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such claim, action, suit or proceeding which is
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.




          (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION,
PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.




          Section 7.09. Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and the applicable
Member are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.04,
4.02 and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation
Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally
recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable
to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law
firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert
shall not, have any material relationship with either the Corporation or the applicable Member or
other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert
within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation
Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for
Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an
amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30)
calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment
thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in
each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a
disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the
subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on such date and such Tax
Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon
resolution. In the event that this reconciliation provision is utilized, the fees of the Expert
shall be paid in proportion to the manner in which the dispute is resolved, such that, for example,
if the entire dispute is resolved in favor of the Corporation, the applicable Member shall pay all
of the fees, or if the items in dispute are resolved 50% in favor of the Corporation and 50% in
favor of the applicable Member, each of the Corporation and the applicable Member shall pay 50% of
the fees of the Expert. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the
meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any
Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be
binding on the Corporation and the applicable Member and may be entered and enforced in any court
having jurisdiction.




          Section 7.10. Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to
deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of
state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the
appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Applicable Member.




-19-









 








          Section 7.11. Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of
Corporate Assets.




          (a) If the Corporation becomes a member of another affiliated or consolidated group of
corporations that files a consolidated income Tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the
Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of
this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit
Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with
reference to the consolidated Taxable income of the group as a whole.




          (b) If any entity that is obligated to make an Exchange Payment hereunder transfers one or
more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax return
pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any
Exchange Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax
Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully
Taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by
such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset, plus (i) the amount
of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset or
(ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership
interest.




          Section 7.12. Confidentiality. Each Member and assignee acknowledges and agrees that
the information of the Corporation and of its Affiliates is confidential and, except in the course
of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporation and its Affiliates, as required by law,
self-regulatory agency, stock exchange or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement,
such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any
confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporation and its Affiliates
and successors, concerning TIP LLC and its Affiliates and successors or the other Members, learned
by the Member heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information
that has been made publicly available by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public
knowledge (except as a result of an act of such Member in violation of this Agreement) or is
generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent
necessary for a Member to prepare and file his or her Tax returns, to respond to any inquiries
regarding the same from any Taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or
audit by any Taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, each Member and assignee (and each employee, representative or other agent of such
Member or assignee, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any
kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporation, TIP LLC, the Members and their
Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other Tax analyses) that are provided to the Members relating to such Tax treatment and Tax
structure.




          If a Member or assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the
provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the
provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any
court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable



-20-









 






injury to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or the other Members and the accounts and
funds managed by the Corporation and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy
to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
rights and remedies available at law or in equity.




          Section 7.13. LLC Agreement. This Agreement shall be treated as part of the Amended
and Restated Operating Agreement of TIP LLC as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.




          Section 7.14. Partnerships. The Corporation hereby agrees that, to the extent it
acquires a general partnership interest, managing member interest or similar interest in any Person
after the date hereof, it shall cause such Person to execute and deliver a joinder to this
Agreement and such Person shall be treated as a “partnership” for all purposes of this Agreement.




          Section 7.15. Certain Legal Matters. Each Person signing this Agreement (i)
understands and agrees that this Agreement contains legally binding provisions and has certain
financial and tax consequences for Members, (ii) has had the opportunity to consult with an
independent lawyer regarding such provisions and consequences, and (iii) has either consulted such
a lawyer or consciously decided not to consult such a lawyer.




          Section 7.16. Further Assurances. Each party shall perform all other acts and execute
and deliver all other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and
intent of this Agreement.
