amount of Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability paid by Spinco to Parent prior to the Distribution Date (as set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement) exceeds the amount of any Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability related to such Return, then Parent shall
pay, or cause to be paid, to Spinco such excess not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of such Tax Return (or, if Parent has paid such excess to the applicable Tax Authority prior to such date
by virtue of its estimated tax payments, within two (2) days after Parent receives from the Tax Authority a Refund of such amounts); provided, that, if any such excess is attributable to Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability being equal to an
amount less than zero, such excess shall be governed by the provisions set forth in Section 7(c); and 
 (E) if the amount
of Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability paid by Spinco to Parent prior to the Distribution Date (as set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement) under Section 2(a)(ii)(C) exceeds the amount of any Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability related to such
Return, then Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Spinco not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of such Tax Return such excess. 

(b) Parent Separate Returns. Parent shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Parent Separate Returns for all
taxable periods. Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority any and all Taxes due or required to be paid with respect to or required to be reported on any Parent Separate Return; provided, however, that if such Taxes
include any Restructuring Tax Liabilities, Spinco shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of the applicable Tax Return any Spinco Restructuring Tax
Liability related to such Tax Return less any Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability related to such Tax Return paid by Spinco to Parent prior to the Distribution Date (as set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if with respect to a Parent Separate Return, the amount of Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability paid by Spinco to Parent prior to the Distribution Date (as set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement) exceeds the amount of Spinco Restructuring
Tax Liability related

to such Tax Return, then Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Spinco not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of such Tax Return such
excess. 
 (c) Spinco Separate Returns. Spinco shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed its respective
Spinco Separate Returns for all taxable years. Spinco shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority any and all Taxes due or required to be paid with respect to or required to be reported on any Spinco Separate Return; provided,
however, that if such Taxes include any Restructuring Tax Liabilities, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Spinco not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of the applicable Tax Return any
Parent Restructuring Tax Liability related to such Tax Return less any amounts paid prior to the Distribution Date by Parent to Spinco on account of the Parent Restructuring Tax Liability related to such Tax Return (as set forth in Schedule C-1 of
this Agreement). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if with respect to a Spinco Separate Return, the amount of Parent Restructuring Tax Liability paid prior to the Distribution Date by Parent to Spinco exceeds the Parent Restructuring Tax
Liability related to such Tax Return, then Spinco shall pay, or cause to be paid to Parent not later than two (2) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing of such Tax Return. 

(d) For purposes of determining amounts required to be paid by either Parent or Spinco under Sections 2(a) through 2(c) in connection
with the filing of any Tax Return, Restructuring Tax Liabilities, Parent Restructuring Tax Liability and Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability shall be calculated without taking into account any Income Tax Benefit arising as a result of any Taxable
Internal Restructuring Step and the Tax Benefit language set forth in Section 7 shall not apply to any such payment. 
 (e)
Preparation of Tax Returns. 
 (i) To the extent that one party is responsible for preparing a Tax Return pursuant to
this Section 2 (“Preparing Party”) and the other party is responsible for payment of Taxes reflected on such Tax Return (“Other Party”), the Preparing Party shall provide the Other Party with drafts of all such Tax Returns
prepared by it pursuant to Section 2 together with a calculation of Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns for which the Other Party is liable pursuant to this Section 2 (i.e., in the case of Tax Returns prepared pursuant to
Section 2(a), a calculation of the Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability and Spinco Restructuring Tax Liability) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the extended due date or actual filing date thereof. The Other Party shall
have the right to review and provide comments on any such Tax Returns and calculations during the fifteen (15) day period following the receipt of such Tax Returns. The Parties shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve
any issues arising as a result of such Tax Returns and calculations and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an accounting firm
of recognized national standing that is mutually acceptable to Parent and Spinco. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return shall be timely filed on that basis, provided, however, that if after using reasonable best efforts, the
parties are unable to resolve the matter in dispute before any Tax Return that is the subject of a disagreement is due, such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Preparing Party, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution, and the
making of any payments necessary to give effect to the resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the dispute

resolution shall be borne equally by the Parties. The costs and expenses relating to Tax Returns prepared pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be borne equally by the parties. 

(ii) Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as a result of a Final Determination, (A) no Party shall, or permit or cause
any member of its respective Group to, take any position that is inconsistent with the treatment of any of the Distribution-Related Transactions as having Tax-Free Status (or analogous status under state, local or foreign law), (B) no Party
shall, or permit or cause any member of its respective Group to, take any position that is inconsistent with the tax treatment of the Internal Restructuring Steps as set forth in Schedule A, or the valuations and tax basis information set forth in
Schedule B and (C) Spinco shall not and shall not permit or cause any member of the Spinco Group to, take any position with respect to an item of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credit on a Tax Return, or otherwise treat such item in a manner
which is inconsistent with the manner such item is reported on a Tax Return required to be prepared or filed by Parent pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof (including, without limitation, the claiming of a deduction previously claimed on any such
Tax Return and taking account of the dispute resolution mechanism in Section 2(a)(i)). 
 3. Indemnification and
Payment Obligations for Taxes. 
 (a) Indemnification and Payment Obligations of Parent. From and after the
Distribution, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3(b) and 3(c), Parent and each member of the Parent Group shall be responsible for and shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group
and each of its Representatives and Affiliates (and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of them) from and against: 

(i) all Tax Liabilities, Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities, incurred by any member of the Parent
Group (including Tax-Related Losses) that Parent or any member of the Parent Group is responsible for under Section 4 (including, without limitation, any Tax Liabilities or Spin-Off Tax Liabilities or Tax-Related Losses arising with respect to
a Permitted Transaction for which Parent is liable pursuant to Section 4(e)); 
 (ii) without duplication, (A) all
Tax Liabilities that any member of the Parent Group is required to pay pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), (B) the excess of any increase in such Tax Liabilities referred to in Section 2(a)(ii)(A)
attributable to a Determination over any Additional Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability and (C) any increase in such Tax Liabilities referred to in Section 2(b) attributable to a Determination (excluding any Additional Restructuring Tax
Liabilities); 
 (iii) all Tax Liabilities, Spin-Off Tax Liabilities, Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities and Tax-Related
Losses incurred by any member of the Parent Group or Spinco Group by reason of the breach by Parent or a member of the Parent Group of any of its representations or covenants hereunder or made in connection with the IRS Ruling (if applicable) and/or
the Tax Opinions and, in each case, any related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses);

 (iv) all Tax Liability resulting from Spinco and First American Title Insurance Company
failing to dispose of all of the stock of Parent held by them as of the Distribution Date as soon as such disposition is practicable and consistent with the business purposes of the retention of the stock of Parent (as set forth in the IRS Ruling
Documents) and in no event later than five (5) years after the Distribution Date, only if such failure was solely the result of the failure by Parent to comply with its obligations under Section 8.4 of the Separation Agreement; and

 (v) fifty percent (50%) of all Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and fifty percent (50%) of all Additional Restructuring
Tax Liabilities, only if (A) Parent and each member of the Parent Group is not responsible for, and is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Spinco or any members of the Spinco Group from and against, all Spin-Off Tax
Liabilities and all Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities pursuant to Section 3(a), Section 4(e) or otherwise in this Agreement and (B) Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group is not responsible for, and is not obligated to
indemnify, defend or hold harmless Parent or any members of the Parent Group from and against, all Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and all Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities pursuant to Section 3(b), Section 4(e) or otherwise in this
Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither Parent nor any member of the Parent Group shall have any
obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Person pursuant to this Section 3(a) to the extent that such indemnification obligation is otherwise attributable to a breach by Spinco (or a member of the Spinco Group) of any of its
representations or covenants hereunder or made in connection with the IRS Ruling (if applicable) and/or the Tax Opinions (except as set forth in Section 3(b)(iv)). If the indemnification obligation of Parent or any member of the Parent Group
under this Section 3(a) (or any adjustment for which Parent is responsible pursuant to this Section 3(a), including any adjustment with respect to a Tax Return for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 2(a)(i)) results in
(i) increased deductions, losses, or credits, or (ii) decreases in income, gains or recapture of Tax credits (“Tax Benefits”) to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, which would not, but for the indemnification obligation
(or the adjustment giving rise to such indemnification obligation), be allowable, then Spinco shall pay Parent the amount by which such Tax Benefit actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group would have
been required to pay and bear (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund to which Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group would have been entitled) but for such indemnification obligation (or adjustment giving rise to such indemnification
obligation). Spinco shall pay Parent for such Tax Benefit no later than five days after such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized. For the sake of clarity, any payments under Section 3 hereof on account of Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities
shall take account of the Tax Benefits as required by this paragraph. 
 (b) Indemnification and Payment Obligations of
Spinco. From and after the Distribution Date, Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group shall be responsible for and shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and each member of the Parent Group and their respective
Representatives and Affiliates (and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of them) from and against:

 (i) all Tax Liabilities, Spin-Off Tax Liabilities, Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities
and Tax-Related Losses that Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group is responsible for under Section 4 (including, without limitation, any Tax Liabilities, Spin-Off Tax Liabilities or Tax-Related Losses arising with respect to a Permitted
Transaction for which Spinco is liable pursuant to Section 4(e)); 
 (ii) without duplication, (A) all Tax
Liabilities that any member of the Spinco Group is required to pay pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), and (B) any Additional Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability and (C) any increase in such Tax
Liabilities referred to in Section 2(c) attributable to a Determination (excluding any Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities); 

(iii) all Taxes, Spin-Off Tax Liabilities, Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities and other Tax-Related Losses incurred by any member
of the Parent Group or Spinco Group by reason of the breach by Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group of any of its representations or covenants hereunder or made in connection with the IRS Ruling (if applicable) and/or the Tax Opinions;

 (iv) all Tax Liability resulting from Spinco and First American Title Insurance Company failing to dispose of all of the
stock of Parent held by them as of the Distribution Date as soon as such disposition is practicable and consistent with the business purposes of the retention of the stock of Parent (as set forth in the IRS Ruling Documents) and in no event later
than five (5) years after the Distribution Date (except that neither Spinco nor any member of the Spinco Group shall have any obligation under this Section 3(b)(iv) if Parent has not complied with the requirements sett forth in
Section 8.4 of the Separation Agreement); and 
 (v) fifty percent (50%) of all Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and fifty
percent (50%) of all Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities, only if (A) Parent and each member of the Parent Group is not responsible for, and is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Spinco or any members of the
Spinco Group from and against, all Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and all Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities pursuant to Section 3(a), Section 4(e) or otherwise in this Agreement and (B) Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group is
not responsible for, and is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Parent or any members of the Parent Group from and against, all Spin-Off Tax Liabilities and all Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities pursuant to Section 3(b),
Section 4(e) or otherwise in this Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither Spinco nor any member of
the Spinco Group shall have any obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Person pursuant to this Section 3(b) to the extent that such indemnification obligation is otherwise attributable to a breach by Parent (or a member of the
Parent Group) of any of its representations or covenants hereunder or made in connection with the IRS Ruling (if applicable) and/or the Tax Opinions. If the indemnification obligation of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group under this
Section 3(b) (or any adjustment for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to this Section 3(b)) results in a Tax Benefit to Parent or any member of the Parent Group, which would not, but for the Tax which is the subject of the
indemnification obligation (or the adjustment giving rise to such indemnification obligation), be allowable, then Parent shall pay Spinco the amount by which such Tax Benefit actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that Parent or any member

of the Parent Group would have been required to pay and bear (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund to which Parent or any member of the Parent Group would have been entitled) but for
such indemnification (or adjustment giving rise to such indemnification obligation). Parent shall pay Spinco for such Tax Benefit no later than five days after such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized. For the sake of clarity, any payments under
Section 3 hereof on account of Additional Restructuring Tax Liabilities shall take account of the Tax Benefits as required by this paragraph. 

(c) Timing of Indemnification Payments. Any payment and indemnification made pursuant to this Section 3 (other than a payment
for any Tax Benefit, the timing of which is provided in Section 3(a) and 3(b) above) shall be made by the Indemnifying Party promptly, but, in any event, no later than: 

(i) in the case of an indemnification obligation with respect to any Tax Liabilities the later of (A) five Business Days after the
Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party and (B) five Business Days prior to the date the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, is required to make a payment of taxes, interest, or penalties or additions to
Tax to the applicable Tax Authority (including a payment with respect to an assessment of a tax deficiency by any Taxing Jurisdiction or a payment made in settlement of an asserted tax deficiency) or realizes a reduced Refund; and 

(ii) in the case of any payment or indemnification of any Losses not otherwise described in clause (i) of this Section 3(c)
(including, but not limited to, any Losses described in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, attorneys’ fees and expenses and other indemnifiable Losses), the later of (A) five Business Days after the
Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party and (B) five Business Days prior to the date the Indemnified Party makes a payment thereof. 

(d) Calculation of Additional Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability. In the event that Additional Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability
must be calculated for purposes of Section 3(a)(ii)(C) or 3(b)(ii)(C), Parent shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Spinco a proposed calculation of the Additional Spinco Consolidated Tax Liability no later than thirty (30) days prior
to the date the Indemnifying Party is required to make to the Indemnified Party, pursuant to Section 3(c), payment under Section 3(a)(ii)(B) or Section 3(b)(ii)(B), as the case may be. Spinco shall have the right to review and provide
comments on any such calculation during the fifteen (15) day period following the receipt of such calculation. The Parties shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of such calculation
and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the date Parent is required to make to the applicable Tax Authority the payment to which such calculation relates (the
“Payment Due Date”)), by an accounting firm of recognized national standing that is mutually acceptable to Parent and Spinco. Upon resolution of all such items, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party any amounts due
under Section 3(a)(ii)(B) or Section 3(b)(ii)(B), as the case may be, on the basis of the resolution, prior to the Payment Due Date. The costs and expenses relating to the dispute resolution shall be borne equally by the Parties.

 (ii) Actions Inconsistent with

knowledge, after due inquiry, none of the Distribution-Related Transactions are part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which a Person will acquire stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Parent or Spinco, as
the case may be, or any successor of Parent or Spinco, as the case may be. 
 (b) Covenants. 

(i) Actions Consistent with Representations and Covenants. Neither Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) nor Parent (or any
member of the Parent Group) shall take any action, or fail to take any action or permit any member of its Group, to fail to take any action, where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material

(ii) Preservation of Tax-Free Status; Spinco/Parent Business. From and after its respective Distribution, neither Parent nor
Spinco shall (A) take any action or permit any member of its Group to take any action, and each of Parent and Spinco shall not fail to take any action or permit any member of its Group to fail to take any action, in each case, unless such
action or failure to act could not reasonably be expected to cause any of the Distribution-Related Transactions to fail to have Tax-Free Status or could not reasonably be expected to require the other Party to reflect a liability or reserve for
Income Taxes with respect to any of the

Distribution-Related Transactions in its financial statements, in each case provided such Distribution-Related Transactions would have qualified for Tax Free Status but for any such action or
inaction of Parent or Spinco and (B) until the first day after the Restriction Period, engage in any transaction that could reasonably be expected to result in (x) in the case of Spinco, in Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group ceasing

shall not (and shall not permit any member of the Parent Group) and shall not agree (and shall not permit any member of the Parent Group to agree) to sell or otherwise issue to any Person, or redeem or otherwise acquire from any Person, any Equity
Securities of Parent or any member of the Parent Group and (y) Spinco shall not (and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group) and shall not agree (and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group to agree) to sell or otherwise issue
to any Person, or redeem or otherwise acquire from any Person, any Equity Securities of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group; provided, however, that, in each case, (A) the adoption of a shareholder rights plan shall not constitute a sale
or issuance of Equity Securities, (B) Parent or Spinco may issue Equity Securities to the extent the issuance satisfies Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX
(relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(d), (C) members of the Spinco Group (other than Spinco) may issue or sell Equity Securities to other members of the Spinco Group, and may

 (v) Dispositions of Assets. Until the
first day after the Restriction Period, neither Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) nor Parent (or any member of the Parent Group) shall sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any

disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute (x) in the case of Parent, more than 30% of the gross assets of Parent or
more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of the Parent Group and (y) in the case of Spinco, more than 30% of the gross assets of Spinco or more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of Spinco Group. The foregoing sentence shall not

is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for federal income tax purposes, or (D) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) or Parent (or any member of
the Parent Group), as applicable. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group or Parent or the Parent Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair
market value of the gross assets of Parent and the members of the Parent Group or Spinco and the members of the Spinco Group, as the case may be, as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(v), and subject to
Section 4(b)(vi), a merger of an entity with and into any Person shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of such entity. 

(vi) Liquidations, Mergers, Reorganizations. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, neither Spinco (or any member of
its Spinco Group) nor Parent (or any member of the Parent Group) shall, or shall agree to, voluntarily dissolve or liquidate (including by converting into an entity that is treated as a “disregarded entity” or partnership for federal

and into Spinco or with other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Spinco, and liquidations of Spinco’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are not subject to this Section 4(b)(vi) to the extent not inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status
of the Distribution-Related Transactions and (y) mergers of direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent solely with and into Parent or with other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent, and liquidations of
Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are not subject to this Section 4(b)(vi) to the extent not inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Distribution-Related Transactions. 

(c) Permitted Transactions. 

(i) Anything in Sections 4(b)(iii) and 4(b)(iv) to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Parent (or any member of the Parent Group) nor
Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) shall be prohibited from entering into or consummating a transaction otherwise prohibited solely by Section 4(b)(iii) or 4(b)(iv), if such transaction, together with any other transaction or
transactions previously permitted pursuant to this Section 4(c)(i), would not result in one or more Persons acquiring, directly or indirectly, Equity Securities representing a 10% or greater interest, by value, in Parent (or any successor
thereto) or Spinco (or any successor thereto), as the case may be, pursuant to one or more transactions that have not been approved by the other party pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii). In the event that the transaction at issue involves the
issuance or disposition of the Equity Securities of a member of the Parent Group (other than Parent) or a member of the Spinco Group (other than Spinco), the 10% threshold referred to in the preceding sentence shall be applied by determining whether
the value of the Equity Securities

of the member the Equity Securities of which are sold or otherwise disposed of together with any other transaction previously permitted under this Section 4(c)(i) would not exceed
(a) in the case of a member of the Parent Group, 10% of the value of the Parent, and (b) in the case of a member of the Spinco Group, 10% of the value of Spinco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of shares of Parent common stock
pursuant to the merger transaction contemplated by the Core Logic Purchase Agreement shall not be taken into account in applying the 10% threshold to the extent that the Tax Opinion issued as of the Distribution Date concludes that such shares will
not be taken into account for purposes of applying Section 355(e) of the Code. In the event the transaction at issue is a redemption or purchase of Equity Securities of Spinco by Spinco or a member of the Spinco Group or of Equity Securities of
Parent by Parent or a member of the Parent Group prior to (or pursuant to an agreement or arrangement negotiated, in whole or in part, prior to) the first anniversary of the Distribution Date, such transaction shall be permitted only if it also
satisfies the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the restrictions
otherwise imposed by Sections 4(b)(iii) through 4(b)(vi), during the Restriction Period, Parent or Spinco (each such Party, the “Requesting Party”) may (i) issue, sell, redeem or otherwise acquire (or cause a member of the Parent
Group (in the case of Parent) and the Spinco Group (in the case of Spinco) to issue, sell, redeem or otherwise acquire) its own Equity Securities or Equity Securities of any member of the Parent Group (in the case of Parent) or the Spinco Group (in
the case of Spinco) in a transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth in Section 4(b)(iii) (determined after giving effect to Section 4(c)(i)), (ii) approve, participate in, support or otherwise permit a proposed
business combination or transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth in Section 4(b)(iv) (determined after giving effect to Section 4(c)(i)), (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of its assets or the assets of any member
of its respective Parent Group (in the case of Parent) or the Spinco Group (in the case of Spinco) in a transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth in Section 4(b)(v), or (iv) merge itself or any member of the Parent
Group (in the case of Parent) or the Spinco Group (in the case of Spinco) with another entity without regard to which party is the surviving entity in a transaction that would otherwise breach the covenant set forth in Section 4(b)(vi), if and
only if such transaction would not violate Section 4(b)(i) or Section 4(b)(ii) and prior to entering into any agreement contemplating a transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 4(c)(ii), and
prior to consummating any such transaction: (X) the Requesting Party obtains the other Party’s written consent, (Y) the Requesting Party provides the other party with an Unqualified Tax Opinion (or, subject to Section 4(d)(iii),
a private letter ruling), in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the other Party in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith (and in determining whether an opinion or ruling is satisfactory, the other party may consider,
among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion or supplemental ruling), or (Z) Parent shall have received such private letter ruling, in form and
substance satisfactory to both parties, to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status of any of the Distribution-Related Transactions, provided that if the Requesting Party is Spinco, it has requested that Parent obtain a
private letter ruling (or, if applicable, a supplemental private letter ruling) in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any action or transaction involving an acquisition of the
Requesting Party’s stock entered into at least 18 months after the Distribution Date, the Requesting Party shall be permitted to consummate such transaction if it delivers an unconditional officer’s certificate establishing facts
evidencing that such acquisition

Title Insurance Company shall be permitted to dispose of all of the stock of Parent held by them as of the Distribution Date in accordance with the representations made in the Ruling Request.

requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the private letter ruling (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Authority; provided that Spinco shall
not be required to make (or cause any member of the Spinco Group to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control). Parent shall reimburse Spinco for
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Spinco Group in cooperating with Parent’s request for a private letter ruling within 10 Business Days after receiving an invoice from Spinco therefor.

Section 4(c), Parent shall (and shall cause each member of the Parent Group to) cooperate with Spinco and use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, a private letter ruling (or supplemental private
letter ruling) from the IRS for the purpose of confirming compliance on the part of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group with its obligations under Section 4(b) of this Agreement. Further, in no event shall Parent be required to file any
request for a private letter ruling under this Section 4(d)(ii) unless Spinco represents that (A) it has reviewed the request for the private letter ruling and any materials, appendices and exhibits submitted or filed therewith, and
(B) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the Spinco Group contained in the IRS Ruling Documents (if applicable) or Tax Opinion Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Spinco shall

shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining a private letter ruling, and that only Parent shall have the right to apply for a private letter ruling relating to any of the Distribution Related Transactions. In connection with
obtaining a private letter ruling pursuant to this Section 4(d)(ii) for the purpose of confirming compliance on the part of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group with its obligations under Section 4(b) of this Agreement, (A) Parent
shall, to the extent practicable, consult with Spinco reasonably in advance of taking any material action in connection therewith; (B) Parent shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any documents to the IRS provide Spinco with
a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider Spinco’s comments on such documents, and (3) provide Spinco with copies of all documents submitted to or received from the IRS in connection with such ruling request; and

(e) Liability of Spinco for Undertaking Certain Actions. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Spinco and the members of the Spinco Group shall be responsible for any
and all Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to, or result from:

of the Spinco Group, which action or failure to act is inconsistent with any of Spinco’s covenants set forth in Sections 4(b)(i) through 4(b)(vi) of this Agreement, in each case, determined without regard to any of the exceptions or provisos
contained in such provisions or in Section 4(c), expressly including, for this purpose, any Permitted Transaction and any act or failure to act that is inconsistent with Section 4(b)(i) or 4(b)(ii), regardless of whether such act or
failure to act is permitted by Sections 4(b)(iii) through 4(b)(vi); 
 (B) any acquisition or disposition of Equity Securities
of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group by any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, as a result of an issuance of Spinco’s Equity Securities or a merger of another entity with and into Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group)
or any acquisition of assets of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group (including, without limitation, as a result of a merger) by any Person or Persons; and

 (B) any acquisition or disposition of Equity Securities of Parent or any member of the
Parent Group by any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, as a result of an issuance of Parent’s Equity Securities or a merger of another entity with and into Parent or any member of the Parent Group) or any acquisition of assets of
Parent or any member of the Parent Group (including, without limitation, as a result of a merger) by any Person or Persons; and

Parent and Spinco shall furnish the other party with a copy of any ruling request that any member of the Parent Group (in the case of Parent) or Spinco Group (in the case of Spinco) may file with the IRS or any other Tax Authority and any opinion
received that in any respect relates to, or otherwise reasonably could be expected to have any effect on, the Tax-Free Status of any of the Distribution-Related Transactions. 

(ii) Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any request by the Requesting Party for an
Unqualified Tax Opinion pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii). 
 (iii) Until the first day after the Restriction Period, the Party
that is seeking to engage in any action described in Sections 4(b)(i) through 4(b)(vi) (the “Acting Party”) shall provide the other Party (the “Notified Party”) adequate advance notice in accordance with the terms of
Section 4(f)(iv) of any action described in Sections 4(b)(i) through 4(b)(vi) within a period of time sufficient to enable the Notified Party to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 4(g) in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (iv) Each notice required by Section 4(f)(iii) shall set forth the terms and conditions of any such proposed
transaction, including, without limitation, (A) the nature of any related action proposed to be taken by the board of directors of Parent or Spinco (as the case may be), (B) the approximate number of Equity Securities (and their voting and
economic rights) of Parent (or any member of Parent Group) or Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) (if any) proposed to be sold (or otherwise issued) or acquired, (C) the approximate value of Parent’s assets (or assets of any member
of the Parent Group) or Spinco’s assets (or assets of any member of the Spinco Group) proposed to be transferred, and (D) the proposed timetable for such transaction, all with sufficient particularity to enable the Notified Party to seek
such injunctive relief. Promptly, but in any event within 30 days, after the Notified Party receives such written notice from the Acting Party, the Notified party shall notify Acting Party in writing of it’s decision to seek injunctive relief
pursuant to Section 4(g). 
 (v) Until the first day after the Restriction Period, neither Parent (or any member of the
Parent Group) nor Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) shall take (or refrain from taking) any action to the extent that such action or inaction would have caused a

representation made with respect to such person in connection with the IRS Ruling and/or the Tax Opinions to have been untrue as of the relevant representation date, had such person or any member
of (the respective members of its group) intended to take (or refrain from taking) such action on the relevant representation date. 

(g) Enforcement. The Parties acknowledge that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Section 4 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The Parties agree that, in order to preserve the Tax-Free Status of any Distribution-Related Transactions, injunctive relief is appropriate to
prevent any violation of the foregoing covenants; provided, however, that injunctive relief shall not be the exclusive legal or equitable remedy for any such violation. 

5. Refunds. Each Party shall be entitled to all Refunds (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax
Authority) in respect of Taxes for which it is responsible under the terms of this Agreement or in respect of estimated payments or pre-payments of Taxes each Party paid to the applicable Tax Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the
event a Party obtains a Refund of Taxes for which it was indemnified by another Party, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to such Refund and (ii) in the event a Party obtains a Refund of Taxes related to estimated payments or pre-payments
of Taxes made by another Party, such other Party shall be entitled to such Refund. A Party receiving a Refund to which another Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 5 shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled (net of any
Taxes incurred in respect of the receipt or accrual of such Refund and net of Tax-Related Losses or any other expenses attributable thereto) within fifteen Business Days after such Refund is Actually Realized. The Parties shall cooperate with each
other in connection with any claim for a Refund in respect of a Tax for which any member of their respective Groups is responsible pursuant to Section 2.

threatened Proceeding in connection with a Tax Liability (or any issue related thereto) of any Party or member of its Group, for which another Party or member of its Group, may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) Business
Days of receipt; provided, however, that in the case of any Distribution-Related Proceeding or the Taxable Internal Restructuring Steps (no matter which Party is responsible), such notice shall be provided no later than ten (10) Business Days

an accurate and complete written summary of any oral communication, received by such notifying Party or member of its Group. The failure of one Party to notify the other Parties of such communication in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence shall not relieve such other Party of any liability or obligation that it may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the failure timely to forward such notification actually prejudices the ability of such other Party to
contest such Income Tax Liability or Other Tax Liability or increases the amount of such Income Tax Liability or Other Tax Liability.

 (b) Representation with Respect to Tax Disputes. Parent (or such member of the Parent

Proceedings relating to any consolidated federal Income Tax Returns of the Parent Consolidated Group, and any other Combined Returns, for any period prior to the Distribution, expenses shall be borne by Parent and Spinco to the extent such expenses
are attributable to Parent Items and Spinco Items, respectively, provided, however, that to the extent such expenses cannot reasonably be attributable to Parent Items and Spinco Items, such expenses shall be borne equally by Parent and Spinco.

relating to its respective Spinco Consolidated Return or Spinco Separate Return.

result of which one party (or a member of its group) could reasonably be expected to become liable for any Tax or Tax-Related Losses (“Liable Party”) and which the other party has the right to administer and control (“Controlling
Party”) pursuant to Section 6(b) above, (A) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Liable Party reasonably in advance of taking any significant action in connection with such Proceeding, (B) the Controlling Party shall
offer the Liable Party reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Proceeding, (C) the Controlling Party shall defend such Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if

1.1502-

26 








 
21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A and any comparable provision of state Income Tax law. 

(ii) No Tax Attribute with respect to consolidated federal Income Tax of the Parent Consolidated Group, other than those described in
Section 7(a)(i), and no Tax Attribute with respect to consolidated, combined or unitary state, local, or foreign Income Tax, in each case, arising in respect of a Combined Return shall be apportioned to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group,
except as Parent (or such member of the Parent Group as Parent shall designate) determines is otherwise required under applicable law. 

(iii) Parent (or its designee) shall determine the portion, if any, of any Tax Attribute which must (absent a Final Determination to the
contrary) be apportioned to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group in accordance with this Section 7(a) and applicable law, and, at the reasonable request of Spinco, Parent shall determine the amount of tax basis and earnings and profits to
be apportioned to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group in accordance with applicable law, and in each case shall provide written notice of the calculation thereof to Spinco as soon as reasonably practicable after the information necessary to
make such calculation becomes available to Parent. 
 (iv) The written notice delivered by Parent pursuant to
Section 7(a)(iii) shall be binding on the Spinco Group and shall not be subject to dispute resolution. Except as otherwise required by a change in applicable law or pursuant to a Final Determination, Spinco shall not take any position (whether
on a Tax Return or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the information contained in such written notice. 
 (b)
Carrybacks. Except to the extent otherwise consented to by Parent or prohibited by applicable law, Spinco shall elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo all Carrybacks. In the event that Spinco, or the appropriate member of Spinco Group,
is prohibited by applicable law to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo a Carryback (or Parent consents to a Carryback), (i) each Party shall cooperate with Spinco, at Spinco’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such
Refund as reasonably would result from such Carryback, and (ii) Spinco shall be entitled to any Carryback Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by Parent or a member of its Group (including any interest thereon received from such Tax Authority),
to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to a Carryback of a Spinco Item, within 15 Business Days after such Refund is Actually Realized; provided, however, that Spinco shall indemnify and hold the members of the Parent Group harmless
from and against any and all collateral tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Carryback, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of tax attributes generated by a member of the Parent’s
Group or an Affiliate thereof if (x) such tax attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (y) the use of such tax attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which
such tax attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback. If there is a Determination that results in any change to or adjustment of an Carryback Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by a member of the Parent Group that is directly
attributable to a Carryback of a Spinco Item, then Parent (or its designee) shall make a payment to Spinco, or Spinco shall make a payment to Parent (or its designee), as may be necessary to adjust the payments between Spinco and Parent (or its
designee) to reflect the payments that would have been made under this Section 7(b) had the

adjusted amount of such Income Tax Benefit been taken into account in computing the payments due under this Section 7(b). 

(c) Income Tax benefits 

(i) Spinco shall be entitled to any SpinCo Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by Parent or a member of its Group (including any
interest thereon received from such Tax Authority), to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to a Spinco Item, within 15 Business Days after such Refund is Actually Realized; provided, however, that Spinco shall indemnify and hold the
members of the Parent Group harmless from and against any and all collateral tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such SpinCo Item, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of tax attributes
generated by a member of the Parent’s Group or an Affiliate thereof if (x) such tax attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Spinco Item, or (y) the use of such tax attributes is postponed to a later
taxable period than the taxable period in which such tax attributes would have been utilized but for such Spinco Item. If there is a Determination that results in any change to or adjustment of a Spinco Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by a
member of the Parent Group that is directly attributable to a Spinco Item, then Parent (or its designee) shall make a payment to Spinco, or Spinco shall make a payment to Parent (or its designee), as may be necessary to adjust the payments between
Spinco and Parent (or its designee) to reflect the payments that would have been made under this Section 7(c)(i) had the adjusted amount of such Spinco Tax Benefit Tax Benefit been taken into account in computing the payments due under this
Section 7(c)(i). 
 (ii) Parent shall be entitled to any Parent Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by Spinco or a member
of the Spinco Group (including any interest thereon received from such Tax Authority), to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to a Parent Item, within 15 Business Days after such Refund is Actually Realized; provided, however, that
Parent shall indemnify and hold the members of the Spinco Group harmless from and against any and all collateral tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Parent Item, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any
benefit from the use of tax attributes generated by a member of the Spinco’s Group or an Affiliate thereof if (x) such tax attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Parent Item, or (y) the use of such tax
attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which such tax attributes would have been utilized but for such Parent Item. If there is a Determination that results in any change to or adjustment of a Parent Income Tax
Benefit Actually Realized by a member of the Spinco Group that is directly attributable to Parent Item, then Spinco (or its designee) shall make a payment to Parent, or the Parent shall make a payment to Spinco (or its designee), as may be necessary
to adjust the payments between Spinco and Parent (or its designee) to reflect the payments that would have been made under this Section 7(c)(ii) had the adjusted amount of such Parent Income Tax Benefit been taken into account in computing the
payments due under this Section 7(c)(ii). 
 (iii) The parties acknowledge that certain payments that are required to be
made under Section 7(c) hereof may be duplicative of payments that are required to be made under Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement. In such event that the parties shall cooperate in good

faith to ensure that, consistent with the provision set forth in Section 14(d) hereof, no duplicative payments are made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

8. Cooperation and Exchange of Information. 

(a) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Each Party, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, agrees to provide each
other Party (or its designee) with such cooperation or information as such other Party (or its designee) reasonably shall request in connection with the determination of any payment or any calculations described in this Agreement, the preparation or
filing of any Tax Return or claim for Refund, or the conduct of any Proceeding. Such cooperation and information shall include, without limitation, upon reasonable notice (i) promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other

in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, a claim for a Refund, or in connection with any Proceeding, including such waivers, consents or powers of attorney as may be necessary for the other Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement,
and (v) the use of the Party’s reasonable efforts to obtain any documentation from a governmental authority or a third party that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any of the foregoing. It is expressly the intention
of the Parties to take all actions that shall be necessary to establish Parent as the sole agent for Tax purposes of each member of the Spinco Group with respect to all Combined Returns. Upon reasonable notice, each Party shall make its, or shall
cause the members of its respective Group, as applicable, to make their, employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Any information obtained under this
Section 8 shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for Refund or in conducting any Proceeding. 

(b) Retention of Records. The Parties each agree to retain all Tax Returns, related schedules and workpapers, and all material
records and other documents as required under Section 6001 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law) existing on the date hereof or created in respect of (i) any
taxable period that ends on or before or includes the Distribution Date or (ii) any taxable period that may be subject to a claim hereunder until the later of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) for the
taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate and (B) the Final Determination of any payments that may be required in respect of such taxable periods under this Agreement. From and after the end of the period described in
the preceding sentence of this Section 8(b), if a Party or a member of its respective Group wishes to dispose of any such records and documents, then such Party shall provide 

 

 © Copyright 2010 

29 








 
written notice thereof to the other Party and shall provide the other Party the opportunity to take possession of any such records and documents within 90 days after such notice is delivered;
provided, however, that if the other Party, within such 90-day period, does not confirm its intention to take possession of such records and documents, then the Party wishing to destroy or otherwise dispose of such records and documents may do so.

 (c) Remedies. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the failure of any member of its
respective Group to comply with the provisions of this Section 8 may result in substantial harm to the other Parties, including the inability to determine or appropriately substantiate a Tax Liability (or a position in respect thereof) for
which a Party (or a member of its respective Group) would be responsible under this Agreement or appropriately defend against an adjustment thereto by a Tax Authority, (ii) the remedies available to one Party (the “Injured Party”) for
the breach by a member of another Party (the “Breaching Party”) of its obligations under this Section 8 shall include (without limitation) the indemnification by the Breaching Party of the Injured Party for any Tax Liabilities or
Tax-Related Losses incurred or any tax benefit lost or postponed by reason of such breach and the forfeiture by the Breaching Party of any related rights to indemnification by the Injured Party. 

(d) Reliance. If any member of a Group supplies (“Supplying Party”) information to a member of another Group
(“Relying Party”) in connection with a Tax Liability and an officer of a member of the Relying Party signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written
request of the member of the Relying Party identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Supplying Party (or his or her designee) shall certify in writing that to his knowledge (based upon consultation with
appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the other Groups and its directors, officers and employees from and against any fine, penalty, or other cost
or expense of any kind attributable to a member of its respective Group having supplied, pursuant to this Section 8, a member of another Group with inaccurate or incomplete information in connection with a Tax Liability. 

9. Resolution of Disputes. Subject to Section 2(e)(i) and Section 3(d), the provisions of Article XII of the
Separation Agreement (Dispute Resolution) shall apply to any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of disputes arising under this Agreement that progress to arbitration under the dispute resolution
process, the relevant Parties shall jointly select the arbitrator, who shall be an attorney or accountant who is generally recognized in the tax community as a qualified and competent tax practitioner with experience in the tax area involved in the
issue or issues to be resolved. If the Parties are unable to jointly select an arbitrator, then each Party shall select an individual and those two individuals shall jointly select an arbitrator. 

10. Payments. 

(a) Method of Payment. All payments required by this Agreement shall be made by (i) wire transfer to the appropriate bank
account as may from time to time be designated by the Parties for such purpose; provided that, on the date of such wire transfer, notice of the transfer is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with Section 12, or (ii) any other
method

agreed to by the Parties. All payments due under this Agreement shall be deemed to be paid when available funds are actually received by the payee. 

(b) Interest. Any payment required by this Agreement that is not made on or before the date required hereunder shall bear
interest, from and after such date through the date of payment, at the Underpayment Rate. 
 (c) Characterization of
Payments. For all Income Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat, (i) any payment required by this Agreement or by the Separation Agreement, by (A) Parent to Spinco as a contribution
by Parent to Spinco occurring immediately prior to the Distribution of Spinco, (B) Spinco to Parent as a distribution by such Spinco occurring immediately prior to the Distribution of such Spinco; and (ii) any payment of interest or
non-federal Income Taxes by or to a Tax Authority, as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case, except as
otherwise mandated by applicable law or a Final Determination; provided that in the event it is determined (A) pursuant to applicable law that it is more likely than not, or (B) pursuant to a Final Determination, that any such treatment is
not permissible (or that an Indemnified Party nevertheless suffers a Tax detriment as a result of such payment), the payment in question shall be increased to take into account any inclusion in income of the Indemnified Party arising from the
receipt of such payment and shall be decreased to take into account any reduction in income of the Indemnified Party arising from such indemnified liability. For purposes hereof, any inclusion or reduction shall be determined (i) using the
highest marginal rates in effect at the time of the determination and (ii) assuming that the Indemnified Party will be liable for Taxes at such rate and has no Tax Attributes at the time of the determination. 

11. Compensatory Equity Interests. 

(a) Allocation of Deductions. 

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Income Tax deductions arising by reason of exercises of Options to acquire Parent or
Spinco stock, vesting of “restricted” Parent stock or Spinco stock, or settlement of restricted stock units, in each case, following the Distribution, with respect to Parent stock or Spinco stock (such Options, restricted stock and
restricted stock units, collectively, “Compensatory Equity Interests”) held by any Person shall be claimed (i) in the case of an active employee, solely by the Party that employs such Person at the time of exercise, vesting, or
settlement, as applicable, (ii) in the case of a Former Finco Employee (as defined in the Separation Agreement), solely by Spinco, and (iii) in the case of a Former FAC Employee (as defined in the Separation Agreement), solely by Parent
(the Party described in clause (ii) or (iii), the “Employing Party”). 
 (ii) To the extent permitted by
applicable law and absent a Final Determination to the contrary, Income Tax deductions arising by reason of contributions made by Spinco after the Spin-Off to its defined benefit pension plan shall be claimed solely by the Spinco Group, and
none of such amount will be claimed by Parent Group. To the extent permitted by applicable law and absent a Final Determination to the contrary, Parent Group shall not claim any Income Tax deduction for its principal payments by any member of
Parent Group
