Employer, such Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if
such Delayed Transfer Employee commenced employment with the Destination Employer as of the Local Transfer Date as contemplated by Section 2.01.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Destination Employer shall reimburse the other Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for any Liabilities
of such other Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates arising with respect to the Delayed Transfer Employees.


 


Section 2.04.        Work
Visas. If any SpinCo Employee requires a visa, work permit, employment pass or other approval for his or her employment with the Destination
Employer, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to see that any necessary visa, permit, employment pass or other approval
has been obtained on or prior to the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date.


 


Section 2.05.        Employment
of SpinCo Employees.


 


(a)          Effective
upon the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable, SpinCo agrees that it shall, or shall cause the applicable member
of the SpinCo Group to, until the end of the Specified Period, employ each SpinCo Employee (i) in an equivalent position (including,
without limitation, in terms of job duties and functions as well as status as a regular employee or fixed-term hire), (ii) at a location
that is within a reasonable proximity (i.e., no more than forty (40) miles) to the location worked at prior to the Local Transfer
Date or Delayed Transfer Date or, in the case of a SpinCo Employee who works remotely, SpinCo shall provide such resources as will enable
such individual to maintain such arrangement, (iii) at the same or higher base salary and eligibility for the same or higher additional
earnings opportunity (i.e., variable pay/bonus and/or commissions and/or equity and equity-based compensation) and (iv) with other
benefit plans and arrangements (including medical, dental, life insurance, post-retirement health and life insurance, disability, a separation
practice or policy and other welfare benefits and qualified and nonqualified retirement plans) or the cash equivalent, that are comparable
in the aggregate to those provided to such SpinCo Employee by Parent or any member of the Parent Group on the Local Transfer Date or Delayed
Transfer Date. If SpinCo and Parent dispute any matter under this Agreement, and any such dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction
of SpinCo and Parent within five (5) days of notification of the dispute by one Party to the other Party, a vice president (or higher-level
executive) of each Party shall endeavor to resolve the dispute during the five (5)-day period that follows the end of such five (5)-day
period. If any such dispute remains unresolved at the end of such subsequent five (5)-day period, either Party may elect to have the terms
submitted for arbitration by an independent consultant or actuary mutually acceptable to SpinCo and Parent to determine whether the terms
are satisfied. The determination of such consultant or actuary shall be conclusive, final and binding and have the force and effect of
an arbitral award. The fees and expenses of such independent consultant or actuary shall be shared equally by the Parties.


 






    9 


     


    

 


(b)          Automatic
Transfer Employees shall not be terminated upon the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable; rather, such employees
and the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of the current employer with respect to such employees in respect of the terms
of employment with the employees in force immediately before the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable, shall be
transferred to the applicable member of the SpinCo Group but only to the extent required by, and only then in accordance with, applicable
Law. To the extent required by the Transfer Regulations and applicable Law, SpinCo shall maintain for a period, if any, not less than
that provided for by applicable Law the same terms and conditions of employment that relate to the SpinCo Employees as of immediately
prior to the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date; provided, however, that if the period required by applicable
Law for any such SpinCo Employee expires prior to the expiration of the period provided for in Section 2.05(a), then SpinCo
shall, and shall cause the SpinCo Group to, comply with this Section 2.05(b) for a period commencing on the expiration
of the period required by applicable Law and ending on the expiration of the period required under Section 2.05(a).


 


(c)           In
addition to the provisions set forth in Section 2.05(a) and (b), with respect to the SpinCo Employees who are
not subject to a mandatory transfer in accordance with the Transfer Regulations and whose employment will not automatically continue with
the SpinCo Group after the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date or otherwise in connection with the Separation Agreement and Ancillary
Agreements, except as specifically provided in the applicable Local Agreement, the applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall offer employment
to, or continue the employment of, such SpinCo Employees as of the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date under their previous terms
and conditions of employment (except for their physical work location), but only to the extent that (i) such SpinCo Employees are
located in a jurisdiction in which the Transfer Regulations are applicable and (ii) such terms and conditions of employment are required
to be provided pursuant to the Transfer Regulations to SpinCo Employees in such jurisdiction whose employment contracts are subject to
transfer pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.

Section 2.06.        Individual
Agreements. Effective as of no later than the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date, SpinCo and Parent, as applicable, shall
assign, or cause an applicable member of the respective Parent Group or SpinCo Group to assign, (a) the SpinCo Individual Agreements
to a member of the SpinCo Group and SpinCo shall agree, or cause an applicable member of the SpinCo Group to agree, to accept and be bound
by the provisions of the SpinCo Individual Agreements and (b) the Parent Individual Agreements to a member of the Parent Group and
Parent shall agree or cause an applicable member of the Parent Group to accept and be bound by the provisions of the Parent Individual
Agreements; provided, however, that to the extent that assignment of any such agreement is not permitted by the terms of
such agreement or by applicable Law, effective as of the Local Transfer Date or Delayed Transfer Date, each member of the SpinCo Group
(in the case of each SpinCo Individual Agreement) or the Parent Group (in the case of each Parent Individual Agreement) shall be considered
to be a successor to each member of the SpinCo Group or Parent Group, as applicable, for purposes of, and a third-party beneficiary with
respect to, such agreement, such that each member of the SpinCo Group or Parent Group, as applicable, shall enjoy all of the rights and
benefits under such agreement (including rights and benefits as a third-party beneficiary) as well as assume the potential associated
liabilities, with respect to the business operations of the SpinCo Group or Parent Group, as applicable; provided, further,
that in no event shall any Party be permitted to enforce (i) any SpinCo Individual Agreement (including any agreement containing
non-competition or non-solicitation covenants) against a SpinCo Employee for action taken in such individual’s capacity as a SpinCo
Employee other than on behalf of the SpinCo Group as requested by the SpinCo Group in its capacity as a third-party beneficiary and (ii) any
Parent Individual Agreement (including any agreement containing non-competition or non-solicitation covenants) against a Parent Employee
for action taken in such individual’s capacity as a Parent Employee other than on behalf of the Parent Group as requested by the
Parent Group in its capacity as a third-party beneficiary; provided, further, that with respect to any SpinCo Employee or
Former SpinCo Employee who was employed by a member of the Parent Group within twenty-four (24) months prior to the Distribution Date,
Parent shall retain the right to enforce, and shall be a third-party beneficiary with respect to, any non-competition covenant as applied
to the business of the Parent Group contained in any SpinCo Individual Agreement against such SpinCo Employee for a period of twenty-four
(24) months after the Distribution Date.


 


Section 2.07.        Collectively
Bargained Employees. All provisions contained in this Agreement providing for the treatment of compensation and benefits in connection
with the Distribution shall apply equally to each employee who is covered by a collective bargaining, works council or other labor union
agreement, contract or labor arrangement (collectively, “Collective Bargaining Agreements”), except to the extent that
any such agreement specifically provides for the terms, conditions, compensation or benefits contemplated by such provision and, in each
such case, such agreement shall apply rather than the terms of this Agreement.


 


Section 2.08.        Collective
Bargaining Agreements. As of the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of the SpinCo Group, as appropriate,
to (a) adopt and assume each Collective Bargaining Agreement covering any of the SpinCo Employees in such jurisdiction immediately
prior to the Local Transfer Date, subject to any agreed-upon changes required by the transition of such Collective Bargaining Agreement
to the applicable member of the SpinCo Group or by applicable Law, (b) unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, assume and honor
any obligations of the Parent Group under any Collective Bargaining Agreements as such obligations relate to SpinCo Employees and Former
SpinCo Employees and (c) recognize the works councils, labor unions and other employee representatives that are parties to such Collective
Bargaining Agreements, and the Parent Group shall have no further liability thereunder with respect to the SpinCo Employees and Former
SpinCo Employees; provided that any compensation or benefits that were, prior to the Local Transfer Date, provided to SpinCo Employees
in such jurisdiction under the Collective Bargaining Agreements through the Parent Benefit Plans shall, to the extent that such compensation
and benefits are still required to be provided under the Collective Bargaining Agreements on and after the Local Transfer Date, be provided
as mutually agreed with such works councils, labor unions and other employee representatives through the SpinCo Benefit Plans as set forth
in this Agreement.

Section 2.09.         Liabilities
Generally. From and after the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Parent and SpinCo, except as expressly provided in
this Agreement, in each applicable jurisdiction (a) SpinCo and the SpinCo Group shall assume or retain, as applicable, and SpinCo
hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full, and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities with respect
to the employment or termination of employment of all SpinCo Employees, Former SpinCo Employees, their dependents and beneficiaries and
other service providers and all other Liabilities expressly assigned to SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement
and (b) Parent and the Parent Group shall assume or retain, as applicable, and Parent hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and
discharge, in due course in full, and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment
of all Parent Employees, Former Parent Employees, their dependents and beneficiaries and other service providers and all other Liabilities
expressly assigned to Parent or any member of the Parent Group under this Agreement. To the extent that this Agreement does not address
particular Liabilities under any Benefit Plan and the Parties later determine that they should be allocated in connection with the Distribution,
the Parties shall agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Parties that, as between Parent and SpinCo, the provisions of this Section 2.09
with respect to the allocation of the Liabilities described in this Section 2.09 shall apply notwithstanding the terms of
any Local Agreement or the application of local Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Local Agreement to the contrary,
the SpinCo Group shall assume and hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full, and be solely responsible
for, all Liabilities with respect to Blue Sky Employees.


 


Section 2.10.         Benefit
Plans. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or as may otherwise be provided in accordance with the TSA, as of
the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Parent and SpinCo, each SpinCo Employee (and each of his or her respective dependents
and beneficiaries) in the applicable jurisdiction shall cease active participation in, and each applicable member of the SpinCo Group
shall cease to be a participating employer in, all Parent Benefit Plans, and as of no later than such time, SpinCo shall, or shall cause
the applicable member of the SpinCo Group to, have in effect such corresponding SpinCo Benefit Plans as are necessary to comply with its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Effective upon the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Parent and SpinCo, except
as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or a Local Agreement, (a) SpinCo shall, or shall cause one of the members of the
SpinCo Group to, retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full, and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities arising
out of or relating to all SpinCo Benefit Plans, taking into account a corresponding assumption of Liabilities by the SpinCo Benefit Plans
with respect to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees that were originally the Liabilities of the corresponding Parent Benefit
Plan with respect to periods prior to the Local Transfer Date, and (b) Parent shall, or shall cause one or more members of the Parent
Group to, retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full, and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities arising out
of or relating to all Parent Benefit Plans, taking into account the SpinCo Benefit Plan’s assumption of Liabilities with respect
to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees that were originally the Liabilities of the corresponding Parent Benefit Plan with respect
to periods prior to the Local Transfer Date. All assets held in trust to fund the Parent Benefit Plans and all insurance policies funding
the Parent Benefit Plans shall be Parent Assets, except to the extent explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement or a Local Agreement.


 






    12 


     


    

 


Section 2.11.        Payroll
Services. Except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with a Local Agreement or the TSA, on and after the Local Transfer Date
or such other date agreed by Parent and SpinCo, the applicable members of the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for all payroll
services, Tax withholding and reporting obligations, and associated government audit assessments and receivables with respect to the SpinCo
Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in the applicable jurisdiction.


 


Section 2.12.         No
Change in Control. The Parties hereto agree that none of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary
Agreements, including this Agreement, constitutes a “change in control,” “change of control” or transaction having
a similar name, as applicable, within the meaning of any Parent Benefit Plan or SpinCo Benefit Plan.


 


Section 2.13.         Inadvertent
Transfers. If Parent determines following the Local Transfer Date that an individual whom Parent intended to be a Parent Employee
or a SpinCo Employee has inadvertently become employed by the SpinCo Group or the Parent Group, respectively, the Parties shall cooperate
in good faith and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause the employment of such individual to be promptly
transferred to a member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, as intended by Parent, and such individual shall be treated
for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if such individual commenced employment with the intended Destination
Employer as of the Local Transfer Date of the jurisdiction in which the individual is employed.


 


Section 2.14.        Non-Solicit;
No Hire. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, for a period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending two (2) years
following the Distribution Date, (a) SpinCo and the SpinCo Group shall not solicit for employment or hire (as an employee, consultant
or otherwise) any Parent Employee who (i) was employed by Parent or a member of the Parent Group as of the applicable Local Transfer
Date or (ii) became an employee of a member of the Parent Group following the Local Transfer Date and was involved in commercial
contracts (including a TSA) with the SpinCo Group, and (b) Parent and the Parent Group shall not solicit for employment or hire (as
an employee, consultant or otherwise) any (i) SpinCo Employee who was employed by a member of the SpinCo Group as of the Local Transfer
Date, (ii) SpinCo Employee who became an employee of the SpinCo Group following the Local Transfer Date and was involved in commercial
contracts (including a TSA) with the Parent Group or (iii) Former SpinCo Employee who rejected an offer from the SpinCo Group, objected
to an automatic transfer to the SpinCo Group or who terminated employment with the Parent Group before receiving an offer letter or transfer
letter from the SpinCo Group, in each case, subject to applicable Law. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14
to the contrary, (A) Parent and the Parent Group shall not be restricted from soliciting for employment or hiring (as an employee,
consultant or otherwise) any SpinCo Employee that was terminated by the SpinCo Group in accordance with the exceptions to the covenant
not to sever SpinCo Employees described in Section 2.15 and (B) the Parties shall not be restricted from soliciting for
employment or hiring (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) any SpinCo Employee or Parent Employee, as applicable, who was terminated
from employment with the applicable Party as a result of a resource action that was not a result of such employee rejecting an offer from
the SpinCo Group. This Section 2.14 is not intended to restrict an individual’s right of employment, nor does it restrict
general, customary employment advertisements and recruiting efforts. Rather, it restricts targeted solicitation of such employees of the
other Party. Employees of either Party may pursue employment opportunities with the other Party on their own initiative. If a final and
non-appealable judicial determination is made that any provision of this Section 2.14 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise
unenforceable restriction with respect to any particular jurisdiction, the provisions of this Section 2.14 will not be rendered
void but will be deemed to be modified solely with respect to the applicable jurisdiction to the minimum extent necessary to remain in
force and effect for the greatest period and to the greatest extent that such court determines constitutes a reasonable restriction under
the circumstances.


 






    13 


     


    

 


Section 2.15.        Termination
of SpinCo Employees. SpinCo and the SpinCo Group shall not sever a SpinCo Employee transferred pursuant to this Agreement for a period
of one (1) year following the Distribution Date; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be construed in any way to limit or prevent the SpinCo Group from terminating any SpinCo Employee (a) transferred pursuant to this
Agreement at any time for “cause” or for reasons related to poor performance or conditions of employment; (b) who received
a notice of termination from the Parent Group prior to the Local Transfer Date; (c) who (i) is 100% dedicated to a SpinCo Contract
with a third party that is terminated by the third party, or in the event of a breach of the SpinCo Contract by the third party, or (ii) is
less than 100% dedicated to such a terminated SpinCo Contract with a third party, but only to reflect a proportionate reduction in the
number of SpinCo Employees who service such SpinCo Contract that is approximately commensurate to the aggregate reduction in resource
requirements under such SpinCo Contract; provided that this clause (c) shall not apply with respect to any SpinCo Employee
located in Europe or any other jurisdiction in which a mandatory transfer of employment occurs; or (d) who is already covered by
a termination protection covenant pursuant to another agreement or arrangement with the SpinCo Group as of the Local Transfer Date or
under applicable Law.


 


Article 3

NON-EQUITY INCENTIVES


 


Section 3.01.        SpinCo
Employee Incentives. On and after the Local Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities
with respect to any annual bonus or other cash-based incentive awards under any Benefit Plan to any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee
in the applicable jurisdiction, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such awards with respect to the Parent fiscal year ending prior
to the Distribution (the “SpinCo Incentive Payments”). The SpinCo Group shall be responsible for determining the amounts
of all SpinCo Incentive Payments that have not been determined prior to the Local Transfer Date, including the extent to which established
performance criteria (as interpreted by SpinCo, in its sole discretion) have been met, and shall pay all SpinCo Incentive Payments no
later than the times provided for under the applicable Benefit Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any determinations made prior to the
Distribution regarding the amounts of any SpinCo Incentive Payments shall be subject to Parent’s prior written approval.


 


Section 3.02.     Retention
Bonus Programs. On and after the Local Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities
with respect to any amounts owed to a SpinCo Employee under the Retention Bonus Programs, and shall pay all amounts under the Retention
Bonus Programs no later than the times provided for under the applicable Retention Bonus Programs. For the avoidance of doubt, any determinations
made prior to the Distribution regarding the amounts of any payments under the Retention Bonus Programs shall be subject to Parent’s
prior written approval.

Article 4

SERVICE CREDIT


 


Section 4.01.         Parent
Benefit Plans. Except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with the TSA or as required by applicable Law or the terms of the
applicable Parent Benefit Plan, service of SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in each applicable jurisdiction on and after the
Local Transfer Date, or such other date agreed by Parent and SpinCo, with any member of the SpinCo Group or any other employer, as applicable,
other than any member of the Parent Group, shall not be taken into account for any purpose under any Parent Benefit Plan.


 


Section 4.02.         SpinCo
Benefit Plans. From and after the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the applicable member of the SpinCo Group to,
give each SpinCo Employee full credit for all purposes (including for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of benefits,
early retirement eligibility and early retirement subsidies, vacation days and other paid time off, severance or separation benefits,
vesting and benefit accrual) under any Benefit Plans, Collective Bargaining Agreements and employment-related entitlements (including
under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements,
post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, notice period, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored,
maintained or contributed to by any member of the SpinCo Group for such SpinCo Employee’s service with any member of the SpinCo
Group or the Parent Group, and with any predecessor employer, prior to the Local Transfer Date to the same extent recognized by the Parent
Group (“Pre-Transfer Service”), except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the
same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the SpinCo Group shall not be required
to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any SpinCo Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan unless
such plan has assumed any assets and/or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, a Local Agreement or applicable Law relating to benefits
accrued by such SpinCo Employee under a Parent Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan.  The SpinCo Group shall recognize
each SpinCo Employee’s Pre-Transfer Service for any additional benefit introduced by SpinCo after the Local Transfer Date that is
based on length or duration of employment.


 


Section 4.03.         No
Expansion of Participation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as otherwise determined or agreed to by the Parties,
as required by applicable Law or as explicitly set forth in a SpinCo Benefit Plan, each SpinCo Employee shall be entitled to participate
in a given SpinCo Benefit Plan only to the extent that such SpinCo Employee was entitled to participate in the corresponding Parent Benefit
Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Local Transfer Date, with it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement does not result
in any expansion of the number of SpinCo Employees participating or the participation rights therein that they had prior to the Local
Transfer Date.

Article 5

SEVERANCE


 


Section 5.01.         Severance.
The SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities, including all statutory or common law severance or other separation
benefits, any contractual or other termination indemnity, any retirement indemnity, any severance or separation benefits or any other
legally or contractually mandated payments (including any compensation or benefits payable during a termination notice period and any
payments pursuant to a judgment of a court having jurisdiction over the parties) relating to the termination or alleged termination of
any SpinCo Employee’s or Former SpinCo Employee’s employment, whether occurring prior to, on or after the Local Transfer Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, such Liabilities shall include any employer-paid portion of any Employment Taxes and shall be treated as Liabilities
of SpinCo and the SpinCo Group. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.01
and Article 9, the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall control.


 


Article 6

WARN ACT


 


Section 6.01.         WARN
Act. SpinCo shall provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and otherwise comply with the WARN Act, in each case, with respect
to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event occurring
on and after 11:59 p.m. on the Local Transfer Date, and SpinCo shall not take any action after the Local Transfer Date that would
cause any terminations of employment of any SpinCo Employees that occur before 11:59 p.m. on the Local Transfer Date to constitute
a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination, or to create any liability or penalty to Parent under
Law.


 


Article 7

CERTAIN WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN MATTERS;

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIMS


 


Section 7.01.         SpinCo
Welfare Plans. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.10, effective as of the Local Transfer Date or such other
date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo, which need not be the same for each Welfare Plan (such applicable date, the “Welfare
Plan Date”), the SpinCo Group shall establish Welfare Plans (collectively, the “SpinCo Welfare Plans”) to
provide welfare benefits to the SpinCo Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) in each applicable jurisdiction and, as of the
applicable Welfare Plan Date, each SpinCo Employee (and his or her dependents and beneficiaries) shall cease active participation in the
corresponding Parent Welfare Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Article 7, the term “SpinCo Employee”
shall be deemed to include each Former SpinCo Employee who was receiving welfare benefits in connection with his or her termination of
employment from a member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date.


 


Section 7.02.         Allocation
of Welfare Benefit Claims. (a) The members of the Parent Group shall retain and be solely responsible for all Liabilities in
accordance with the applicable Parent Welfare Plan for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement
claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, as incurred and reported by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees (and each
of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under such plans prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date and (b) the members
of the SpinCo Group shall retain and be solely responsible for (i) all Liabilities in accordance with the applicable Parent Welfare
Plan for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims),
in each case, that were incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries)
under such plans prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date but not yet reported as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date and (ii) all
Liabilities in accordance with the SpinCo Welfare Plans for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement
claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, as incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees (and each of their respective
dependents and beneficiaries) on or after the applicable Welfare Plan Date; provided that SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for Liabilities
incurred under clause (a) between the Local Transfer Date and the applicable Welfare Plan Date. For purposes of this Section 7.02,
a benefit claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) for health, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription
drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital admission), upon the provision of such services, materials or supplies and (ii) for
life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, cessation of employment or
other event by Parent giving rise to such benefits.

Section 7.03.         6055/6056
Reporting. The SpinCo Group shall comply with the reporting obligations under Section 6056 of the Code (Reporting of Offers of
Coverage) with respect to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees for the Closing Plan Year (including while SpinCo was owned by
Parent) and periods after the Local Transfer Date, for which SpinCo has a reporting obligation; provided that the Parent Group
shall be responsible for complying with all reporting obligations with respect to the year prior to the Closing Plan Year. In this regard,
the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for distributing IRS Form 1095-C to applicable individuals and filing IRS Forms 1094-C
and 1095-C with the IRS, all according to the applicable rules and regulations governing such forms. SpinCo shall also be solely
responsible for ensuring that the SpinCo Group complies with the reporting obligations under Section 6055 of the Code (Reporting
of Enrollment in Minimum Essential Coverage) with respect to all SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees who are enrolled in a self-insured
medical plan under the Parent Welfare Plan. SpinCo may meet this obligation either through IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C or IRS Forms 1094-B
and 1095-B, all in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.


 


Section 7.04.        Credit
for Benefits. The SpinCo Group shall (a) waive for each SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee and his or her dependents,
each waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, preexisting condition limitation, actively at work requirement
and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the SpinCo Welfare Plan (or was previously satisfied
by) such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee to the extent that such waiting period, preexisting condition limitation, actively
at work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee under the terms
of the applicable Parent Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Local Transfer Date and (b) give full credit under the SpinCo Welfare
Plans applicable to each SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee and his or her dependents, for all out-of-pocket expenses, including
co-payments and deductibles, satisfied prior to the Local Transfer Date in the Closing Plan Year, and for any lifetime maximums, as if
there had been a single continuous employer.


 


Section 7.05.        Workers’
Compensation Claims. In the case of any workers’ compensation claim of any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee in respect
of his or her employment with the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, such claim shall be covered (a) by the SpinCo Group’s workers’
compensation coverage for the applicable jurisdiction if the claim relating to the Workers’ Compensation Event is submitted after
the date on which SpinCo has established workers’ compensation coverage (the “Workers’ Compensation Claim Date”)
and (b) by the Parent Group’s workers’ compensation coverage if the claim relating to the Workers’ Compensation
Event is submitted prior to the Workers’ Compensation Claim Date; provided that SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for Liabilities
actually incurred by the Parent Group under clause (b).


 






    17 


     


    

 



 


Section 7.06.     COBRA.
If a SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee (or his or her eligible dependents) was receiving, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan
Date, or is eligible to receive, on or following the applicable Welfare Plan Date, continuation health coverage pursuant to COBRA, the
SpinCo Group and the SpinCo Welfare Plans shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities to such employee (or his or her eligible dependents)
in respect of COBRA. The SpinCo Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the Parent Group from and against any and
all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from COBRA provided by the SpinCo Group, or the failure of the SpinCo Group to
meet its COBRA obligations, to SpinCo Employees, Former SpinCo Employees and their respective eligible dependents.


 


Section 7.07.     Flexible
Spending Accounts. Effective as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, the SpinCo Group shall have established a health care and dependent
care reimbursement account plan (the “SpinCo Reimbursement Account Plan”) with features that are comparable to those
contained in the relevant health care and dependent care reimbursement account plan sponsored and maintained by Parent (the “Parent
Reimbursement Account Plan”). With respect to applicable SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees, effective as of the applicable
Welfare Plan Date, the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for administering all reimbursement claims of SpinCo Employees
and Former SpinCo Employees with respect to the plan year in which the applicable Welfare Plan Date occurs, whether arising before, on
or after the applicable Welfare Plan Date, under the SpinCo Reimbursement Account Plan and, for the avoidance of doubt, on and after the
applicable Welfare Plan Date, no additional claims shall be reimbursed with respect to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees under
the Parent Reimbursement Account Plan. Parent shall, as soon as practicable following the applicable Welfare Plan Date, determine (a) the
sum of all contributions to the Parent Reimbursement Account Plan made with respect to such plan year by or on behalf of all SpinCo Employees
and Former SpinCo Employees, as a whole, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date (the “Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Contributions”)
and (b) the sum of all claims incurred in such plan year and paid by the Parent Reimbursement Account Plan with respect to such SpinCo
Employees and Former SpinCo Employees, as a whole, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date (the “Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date
Disbursements”). If the Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Contributions exceed the Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Disbursements, Parent
shall, as soon as practicable following Parent’s determination of the Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Contributions and Aggregate Pre-Transfer
Date Disbursements, transfer to SpinCo an amount in cash equal to such difference. If the Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Disbursements exceed
the Aggregate Pre-Transfer Date Contributions, SpinCo shall, upon Parent’s reasonable request and the presentation of such substantiating
documentation as SpinCo shall reasonably request, transfer to Parent an amount in cash equal to such difference.


 


Section 7.08.     Continuation
of Elections. With respect to applicable SpinCo Employees, as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, the SpinCo Group shall cause the
SpinCo Welfare Plans to recognize and maintain all elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution
elections and beneficiary designations) made by SpinCo Employees under, or with respect to, the Parent Welfare Plans and apply such elections
and designations under the SpinCo Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are
by their original terms applicable, to the extent that such elections or designations are available under the corresponding SpinCo Welfare
Plan. As of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, the SpinCo Group shall cause any SpinCo Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria plan under
Section 125 of the Code to recognize and give effect to all non-elective employer contributions payable and paid toward coverage
of a SpinCo Employee under the corresponding Parent Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code
for the applicable cafeteria plan year.

Section 7.09.     Post-Retirement
Health and Life Insurance.  The Parent Group agrees to allow its Eligible Retiree Medical Employees to participate in, and receive
benefits from, the Parent Group’s applicable post-retirement health and life insurance plans upon their eligibility to enroll, unless
otherwise required by applicable Law; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit Parent or any member of the Parent Group from
amending, modifying or terminating such plans or prevent the application of any such amendment, modification or termination to any Eligible
Retiree Medical Employee.  With respect to any SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in the Continuing Retiree Medical Jurisdictions
who, immediately prior to the Local Transfer Date, are eligible to participate in the Parent Group’s post-retirement health and
life insurance plans and have satisfied the eligibility criteria to receive benefits under such plans as in effect on the Local Transfer
Date, the SpinCo Group shall establish, as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, a SpinCo Benefit Plan that provides post-retirement health
and life insurance benefits that are comparable to the applicable Parent Benefit Plan (the “SpinCo Retiree Medical Plans”),
and SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities in accordance with the SpinCo
Retiree Medical Plans with respect to all such SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in the Continuing Retiree Medical Jurisdictions.

Law, SpinCo shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the SpinCo Group to, employ any SpinCo LTD Employee or Retained LTD Employee
at such time, if any, as such SpinCo LTD Employee or Retained LTD Employee is ready to return to active employment, and, with respect
to any Retained LTD Employee, from and after such time, such employee shall no longer be deemed an employee of the Parent Group and shall
be deemed a SpinCo Employee for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if such SpinCo LTD Employee or Retained LTD Employee
presents himself or herself for active employment and is not employed by a member of the SpinCo Group due to applicable SpinCo Group policies,
and if such SpinCo LTD Employee’s or Retained LTD Employee’s employment is terminated by a member of the Parent Group within
a reasonable time thereafter, SpinCo shall indemnify the Parent Group for all Liabilities incurred in connection with such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall only be required to employ a Retained LTD Employee
in accordance with this Section 8.03 if such Retained LTD Employee is ready to return to active employment within one (1) year
following the Distribution Date or such greater period as required by applicable Law.

Article 9

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANs


 


Section 9.01.     U.S.
Pension Plans. Except as otherwise provided in any of Parent’s tax-qualified or nonqualified defined benefit pension plans maintained
for employees principally employed in the United States (each, a “Parent U.S. Pension Plan”), as of the Local Transfer
Date or such other date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo, each SpinCo Employee shall cease active participation in the relevant
Parent U.S. Pension Plan, and service performed for, and compensation earned from, any employer, other than the Parent Group, and, to
the extent service is recognized under the relevant Parent U.S. Pension Plan, their predecessors, shall not be taken into account for
any purpose under the Parent U.S. Pension Plans. Prior to the Local Transfer Date, Parent shall provide SpinCo with a list of SpinCo Employees
and Former SpinCo Employees who are participants in the nonqualified Parent U.S. Pension Plans. Upon and following the Local Transfer
Date, if a SpinCo Employee on such list terminates employment with the SpinCo Group, SpinCo shall, or shall cause a member of the SpinCo
Group to, provide written notice to Parent of such employee’s termination of employment within twenty (20) days of such employee’s
termination of employment; provided that following the Distribution Date, SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall
only be required to provide such notice with respect to SpinCo Employees who participate in a nonqualified Parent U.S. Pension Plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, SpinCo shall be liable and solely responsible, and shall reimburse Parent, for any Liabilities of the Parent Group arising
with respect to the Parent U.S. Pension Plans as a result of any failure by a member of the SpinCo Group to provide proper notice of an
employment termination that results in the inability of Parent to administer the Parent U.S. Pension Plans in compliance with Section 409A
of the Code to the extent applicable with respect to any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee who participated thereunder.


 


Section 9.02.     Non-U.S.
Pension Plans.


 


(a)       Non-Transferor
Defined Benefit Plans. Except as set forth in any Local Agreement and, in any case, with respect to each Non-Transferor Defined Benefit
Plan, the Parent Group shall retain or shall cause to be retained all Assets and Liabilities under such plan (and, to the extent applicable,
under the insurance company contracts maintained to fund such plan) and shall make payments to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees
with vested rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable Law; provided that unvested rights thereunder
shall be treated in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in any Non-Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan, as of the Local Transfer Date or such other date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo, each SpinCo Employee shall cease
active participation in the relevant Non-Transferor Defined Benefit Plan, and service performed for, and compensation earned from, any
employer, other than the Parent Group, and, to the extent service is recognized under the relevant Non-Transferor Defined Benefit Plan,
their predecessors, shall not be taken into account for any purpose under the Non-Transferor Defined Benefit Plans.


 






    20 


     


    

 


(b)      Subsidiary
Defined Benefit Plans.


 


(i)         Assumption
of Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plans. Except to the extent set forth in Section 9.02(b)(ii), with respect to the Subsidiary
Defined Benefit Plans, as of the Local Transfer Date or such other date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo (the “Subsidiary
DB Transfer Date”), the SpinCo Group shall assume and retain all Assets and Liabilities under such plan (and, to the extent
applicable, under the insurance company contracts maintained to fund such plan) and shall make payments to SpinCo Employees and Former
SpinCo Employees with vested rights thereunder (and unvested rights thereunder to the extent such rights vest) in accordance with the
terms of such plan and applicable Law.


 


(ii)        Establishment
of Parent Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plans. Effective as of the applicable Subsidiary DB Transfer Date, in connection with the
transfer of Assets and Liabilities to a Parent Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan from a Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plan that is a
Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan, the Parent Group shall establish a trust or other vehicle to accept such transfer of pension Assets
that relate to Parent Employees, Former Parent Employees, and to the extent specified on Schedule 9.02, Former SpinCo Employees,
unless the Parent Group is prohibited from establishing a trust or other vehicle under applicable Law or the transfer of such Assets to
a trust or other vehicle would result in adverse Tax consequences to a substantial portion of the Parent Employees, Former Parent Employees
or, if applicable, Former SpinCo Employees, in each case, who participated in the relevant Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan immediately
prior to the Subsidiary DB Transfer Date. As soon as practicable following the applicable Subsidiary DB Transfer Date, but in any event
no later than the later of (1) 30 days following the date that the trust or other vehicle that will accept the transferred Assets
with respect to the applicable Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan has been established or designated (unless no such trust or other
vehicle is required) and (2) 30 days following the earliest date permitted by applicable Law, the SpinCo Group shall cause each Reverse
Transfer Defined Benefit Plan to transfer (A) the Liabilities of the Parent Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan with respect the
Parent Employees, Former Parent Employees and, if applicable, Former SpinCo Employees and (B) pension Assets (including, to the extent
applicable, any insurance company contracts maintained to fund such plan) having a value sufficient to satisfy any requirements under
applicable Law from such Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan to the trust or other vehicle established or designated with respect to
the applicable Parent Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan or, where no trust or other vehicle exists, provide payment of an equivalent
amount to Parent or the applicable member of the Parent Group; provided that if there is no such requirement under applicable Law,
the applicable Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan shall transfer to the Parent Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plan an aggregate amount
of pension Assets that bears the same proportion as (x) the aggregate amount of Liabilities of such Reverse Transferor Defined Benefit
that relate to Parent Employees, Former Parent Employees and, if applicable, Former SpinCo Employees relative to (y) the aggregate
amount of all Liabilities of such Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit, in each case, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.


 






    21 


     


    

 


(c)      Transferor
Defined Benefit Plans.


 


(i)         Establishment
of Transferee Defined Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.11, effective as of the applicable Non-U.S.
DB Transfer Date, in connection with the transfer of Assets and Liabilities from a Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to a Transferee Defined
Benefit Plan, the SpinCo Group shall establish a trust or other vehicle to accept such transfer of pension Assets, unless the SpinCo Group
is prohibited from establishing a trust or other vehicle under applicable Law or the transfer of such Assets to a trust or other vehicle
would result in adverse Tax consequences to a substantial portion of the SpinCo Employees who participated in the relevant Transferor
Defined Benefit Plan immediately prior to the applicable Closing Date. As soon as practicable following the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer
Date, but in any event no later than the later of (1) 30 days following the date that the trust or other vehicle that will accept
the transferred Assets with respect to the applicable Transferee Defined Benefit Plan has been established or designated (unless no such
trust or other vehicle is required) and (2) 30 days following the earliest date permitted by applicable Law (the “Pension
Asset Transfer Date”), the Parent Group shall cause each Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to transfer pension Assets (including,
to the extent applicable, any insurance company contracts maintained to fund such plan) that have been allocated to SpinCo in accordance
with clause (b)(2) below (as adjusted for appreciation or depreciation that occurs after the Local Transfer Date but prior to the
Pension Asset Transfer Date) or such greater value sufficient to satisfy any requirements under applicable Law from such Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan, to the trust or other vehicle established or designated with respect to the applicable Transferee Defined Benefit Plan or,
where no trust or other vehicle exists, provide payment of an equivalent amount to SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group.
In all events in which a transfer is made by the Parent Group or any Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to a Transferee Defined Benefit Plan,
the SpinCo Group shall not take any direct or indirect action to cause a reversion of pension Assets for a period of five years following
the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date. At all times following the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall not
take any action to reduce any benefits accrued under any Transferor Defined Benefit Plan prior to the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer
Date.


 


(ii)        Assets
and Liabilities of Transferor Defined Benefit Plans. With respect to each Transferor Defined Benefit Plan, the Parent Group shall,
or shall cause the applicable Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to, (1) as of the Local Transfer Date, allocate the aggregate pension
Liabilities that relate to SpinCo Employees to the SpinCo Group and the aggregate pension Liabilities that relate to all other participants
to the Parent Group, in each case, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, (2) as of the Local Transfer Date, allocate the pension
Assets to the SpinCo Group or the Parent Group, as applicable, as required by applicable Law; provided that if there is no such
requirement under applicable Law, the applicable Transferor Defined Benefit Plan shall allocate to the SpinCo Group or the Parent Group,
as applicable, an aggregate amount of pension Assets that bears the same proportion to the aggregate amount of Liabilities of such Transferor
Defined Benefit Plan that are allocated to such Party pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 9.02(c)(ii), (3) retain
the pension Assets and Liabilities for accrued benefits under such Transferor Defined Benefit Plan with respect to the SpinCo Employees
through the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date and (4) manage the pension Assets for accrued benefits under such Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan with respect to the SpinCo Employees through such Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date; provided that nothing herein shall be
deemed to prohibit or restrict the Parent Group from amending or terminating the applicable Transferor Defined Benefit Plan. SpinCo agrees
that as of the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for the Liabilities allocated to
the SpinCo Group pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 9.02(c)(ii).


 


(iii)       Continued
Participation in Participating Transferor Defined Benefit Plans. With respect to each Participating Transferor Defined Benefit Plan,
the Parent Group shall, or shall cause the applicable Participating Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to, (A) permit the applicable
member of the SpinCo Group to become a participating employer and (B) permit the SpinCo Employees to continue to participate in such
Transferor Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict
the Parent Group from amending or terminating the applicable Transferor Defined Benefit Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to
the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall timely make all contributions to the applicable Transferor Defined Benefit
Plan that are required to be made by the SpinCo Group pursuant to the terms of such Transferor Defined Benefit Plan and its most recent
actuarial valuation, this Agreement, any Local Funding Agreement and applicable Law.


 






    22 


     


    

 


(iv)       Pension-Related
Indemnification. In the event that the Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date occurs after the applicable Local Transfer Date with respect to any
country, the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the Parent Group and the applicable Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from such arrangement, including, without
limitation, (1) the administrative costs and expenses incurred by the Parent Group or the Transferor Defined Benefit Plan relating
to each SpinCo Employee’s participation in the Transferor Defined Benefit Plan after the applicable Local Transfer Date, (2) other
Liabilities incurred by the Parent Group or the Transferor Defined Benefit Plan as a result of the Parent Group permitting the SpinCo
Employees to participate in the Transferor Defined Benefit Plan after the applicable Local Transfer Date, (3) Liabilities incurred
by the Parent Group or the Transferor Defined Benefit Plan as a result of the termination of employment of, or changes to the employment
terms of, any SpinCo Employee by the SpinCo Group after the applicable Local Transfer Date and (4) in the event that any transaction
contemplated by such arrangement requires the consent of any SpinCo Employee, any payments or benefits that the Parent Group makes or
provides to such SpinCo Employee in order to obtain such consent, as reasonably determined by the Parent Group after consultation with
the SpinCo Group.


 


(d)      Insured
Transferor Defined Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.11, effective as of the applicable Non-U.S.
DB Transfer Date, in connection with the transfer of Liabilities from an Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to an Insured Transferee
Defined Benefit Plan, the SpinCo Group shall (1) establish an Insured Transferee Defined Benefit Plan to administer the Liabilities
of the applicable Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan and (2) execute insurance contracts with a reputable insurance company
to fund the Liabilities assumed by such Insured Transferee Defined Benefit Plan and pay the benefits to the applicable SpinCo Employees,
which contracts shall be effective no later than the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date; provided, however, in lieu of
the SpinCo Group executing an insurance contract described in this Section 9.02(d)(2), the Parent Group may, in its discretion,
assign insurance contracts to the SpinCo Group in respect of Liabilities assumed by such Insured Transferee Defined Benefit Plan. As of
the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date, the Parent Group shall cause each Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to transfer the Liabilities
of the Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan with respect the SpinCo Employees to the applicable Insured Transferee Defined Benefit
Plan.


 


(e)       Unfunded
Transferor Defined Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.11, effective as of the applicable Non-U.S.
DB Transfer Date, in connection with the transfer of Liabilities from an Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to an Unfunded Transferee
Defined Benefit Plan, the SpinCo Group shall establish an Unfunded Transferee Defined Benefit Plan to administer the Liabilities of the
applicable Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan and pay the benefits to the applicable SpinCo Employees. As of the applicable Non-U.S.
DB Transfer Date, the Parent Group shall cause each Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to transfer the Liabilities of the Unfunded
Transferor Defined Benefit Plan with respect the SpinCo Employees to the applicable Unfunded Transferee Defined Benefit Plan.


 






    23 


     


    

 


(f)       Acknowledgments
of Pension Liabilities. Following the completion of the transfer of Assets and/or Liabilities from a Transferor Defined Benefit Plan
to a Transferee Defined Benefit Plan, from an Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to an Insured Transferee Defined Benefit Plan and
from a Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan to an Unfunded Transferee Defined Benefit Plan, and the transfer of a Subsidiary Defined
Benefit Plan to the SpinCo Group as provided in this Section 9.02, the Parent Group shall have no further Liability (either
under this Agreement or otherwise) to provide the SpinCo Employees (or Former SpinCo Employees for the Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plans,
other than the applicable Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plans) who participated in such plan with benefits under a Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan, Insured Transferor Defined Benefit Plan, Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan or Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plan,
and the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to any amounts owed to a SpinCo Employee (or Former
SpinCo Employees for the Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plans, other than the applicable Reverse Transfer Defined Benefit Plans) under such
plans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Group shall retain all Assets and Liabilities under any defined benefit pension plans covering
SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.02(b) through (e).


 


(g)      No
Reduction in Benefits. At all times following the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall not take any action
to reduce any benefits accrued under any Subsidiary Defined Benefit Plan, Transferor Defined Benefit Plan, Insured Transferor Defined
Benefit Plan or Unfunded Transferor Defined Benefit Plan prior to the applicable Non-U.S. DB Transfer Date.


 


Article 10

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS


 


Section 10.01.     SpinCo
401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Local Transfer Date or such other date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo, which need not
be the same for each retirement plan (the “Applicable 401(k) Date”), SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo
Group shall establish a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of
the Code (the “SpinCo 401(k) Plan”) providing benefits to the SpinCo Employees participating in any qualified
cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code sponsored by any member of the Parent Group (collectively,
the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) as of the Local Transfer Date; provided, however, that SpinCo or the applicable
member of the SpinCo Group shall not be required to provide SpinCo Employees with an option to invest in SpinCo Common Stock under the
SpinCo 401(k) Plan.


 


Section 10.02.     401(k) Plan

in the Parent 401(k) Plan to effect, and SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall cause the SpinCo 401(k) Plan
to accept, in accordance with applicable Law, a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code)
of his or her account balances (including earnings thereon through the date of transfer and promissory notes evidencing all outstanding
loans in accordance with the terms of the SpinCo 401(k) Plan) under the Parent 401(k) Plan if such rollover to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan
is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee, subject to each of Parent’s and
SpinCo’s reasonable satisfaction that the Parent 401(k) Plan or the SpinCo 401(k) Plan, as applicable, is in compliance
with all applicable Laws and that such plan continues to satisfy the requirements for a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of
the Code and that the trust that forms a part of such plan is exempt from Tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Upon completion
of a direct rollover of a SpinCo Employee’s and Former SpinCo Employee’s account balances, as described in this Section 10.02,
SpinCo, the SpinCo Group and the SpinCo 401(k) Plan shall be solely responsible for all benefits relating to past service of such
SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee, as applicable, and none of Parent, the Parent Group and the Parent 401(k) Plan shall
have any liability whatsoever with respect to such benefits.


 






    24 


     


    

 


Section 10.03.     Employer
401(k) Plan Contributions. The Parent Group shall remain responsible for making all employer contributions under the Parent 401(k) Plan
with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to periods prior to the Applicable 401(k) Date. In the event
that the Applicable 401(k) Date occurs after the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for any employer contributions
made under this Section 10.03 with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to the period beginning
on the Local Transfer Date and ending on the Applicable 401(k) Date. On and after the Applicable 401(k) Date, the SpinCo Group
shall be solely responsible for all employer contributions under the SpinCo 401(k) Plan with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former
SpinCo Employees.


 


Section 10.04.     Limitation
of Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no responsibility for any failure of SpinCo to properly administer the
SpinCo 401(k) Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, including any failure to properly administer the accounts of
SpinCo Employees and their respective beneficiaries, including accounts transferred over in accordance with Section 10.02,
in such SpinCo 401(k) Plan.

Defined Contribution Plans. The treatment of each Parent Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees
outside of the United States and in which any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee participates (each, a “Non-U.S. DC Plan”)
shall be governed by the applicable Local Agreement; provided that if a Local Agreement does not address the treatment of an applicable
Non-U.S. DC Plan, then Parent and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Non-U.S. DC Plan to be treated in a manner
that is consistent with applicable Law and, to the extent practicable, the general principles of this Article 10.

Article 11

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION


 


Section 11.01.     SpinCo
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans. Notwithstanding Section 2.09 or any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, following the Local Transfer Date, the Parent Group shall retain sponsorship of the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plans and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans. Without limiting
the generality of Section 2.10, effective as of the Distribution Date or such other date as agreed to between Parent and SpinCo,
SpinCo shall establish a new nonqualified deferred compensation plan (or plans) sponsored by SpinCo (together, the “SpinCo Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plans”). The SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans shall honor all deferral elections by SpinCo
Employees for the plan year in which the Distribution occurs, and for the 2021 plan year, the SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plans shall also honor terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the corresponding Parent Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plan (including matching and automatic employer contributions). The Parties hereto agree that none of the transactions
contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, including this Agreement, will trigger a payment or distribution
of compensation under the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans or the SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans to any
SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee (and their respective beneficiaries) and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of
any compensation to which any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee (and their respective beneficiaries) is entitled under the Parent
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans will occur upon the time or times provided for under the applicable Parent Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Plans and such SpinCo Employee’s or Former SpinCo Employee’s deferral elections. Without limiting the generality
of Section 4.01 and subject to Section 17.09, Parent and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate
in administering the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans for purposes of satisfying any obligations relating to the participation
of any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee, including by exchanging any necessary participant records and engaging recordkeepers,
administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties. Prior to the Local Transfer Date, Parent shall provide SpinCo with a list
of SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees who are participants in the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.  If
a SpinCo Employee on such list terminates employment with the SpinCo Group, SpinCo shall, or shall cause a member of the SpinCo Group
to, provide written notice to Parent of such employee’s termination of employment within twenty (20) days of such employee’s
termination of employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall be liable and solely responsible, and shall reimburse Parent,
for any Liabilities of the Parent Group arising with respect to the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans as a result of any
failure by a member of the SpinCo Group to provide proper notice of an employment termination that results in the inability of Parent
to administer the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans in compliance with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any
SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee who participated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plan shall be a SpinCo Benefit Plan.


 


Section 11.02.     No
Transfer of Assets. Except as required by applicable Law, nothing in this Agreement shall require any member of the Parent Group or
the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans to transfer assets or reserves with respect to the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plans to any member of the SpinCo Group or the SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.


 


Section 11.03.     Employer
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Contributions. The Parent Group shall remain responsible for making all employer contributions
under the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to
periods prior to the Distribution Date. SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for any employer contributions made under this Section 11.03
under the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to
the period beginning on the Local Transfer Date and ending on the Distribution Date. Any such contributions that are unvested as of the
Local Transfer Date shall continue to vest in accordance with their terms. On and after the Local Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall
be responsible for all employer contributions under the Parent Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans and SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Plans with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees.


 






    26 


     


    

 


Section 11.04.     Limitation
of Liability. Parent shall have no responsibility for any failure of the SpinCo Group to properly administer the SpinCo Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plans in accordance with their terms and applicable Law, including any failure to properly administer the accounts
of SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees and their respective beneficiaries in such SpinCo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.


 


Article 12

ACCRUED LEAVE


 


Section 12.01.     Vacation,
Holidays, Annual Leave and Other Leaves. On the Local Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all
Liabilities for vacation, holiday, annual leave and/or other leave accruals and benefits with respect to each SpinCo Employee. In addition,
(a) for purposes of determining the number of vacation, holiday, annual leave or other leave days to which such employee shall be
entitled following the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo and the applicable members of the SpinCo Group shall assume and honor all such days
accrued or earned but not yet taken by such employee, if any, as of the Local Transfer Date and (b) to the extent that such employee
is entitled under any applicable Law or any policy of his or her respective employer that is a member of the Parent Group, as the case
may be, to be paid for any vacation, holiday, annual leave or other leave days accrued or earned but not yet taken by such employee as
of the Local Transfer Date, the SpinCo Group shall assume and be solely responsible for the Liability to pay for such days.


 


Article 13
