reflect such change upon approving the request of the Non-filing Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that an amended Tax Return results in a Refund of Taxes the Party entitled to such Refund shall be the Party that

filed after the date of this Agreement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the elections, accounting methods, conventions and principles of taxation used for the most recent taxable periods for which such Tax Returns and accruals involving
similar items have been filed. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all decisions relating to the preparation of such Tax Returns shall be made in the sole discretion of the Filing Party; provided, however, that the Non-filing
Party shall have the right to review and comment on such Tax Returns prior to the filing thereof. 

  
 15 








 (ii) The Filing Party for a Straddle Period Combined Return shall determine the
items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit of each member of the Non-filing Party’s Group that must be included in such Combined Return by closing the books of such members of the Non-filing Party’s Group at the Distribution Date.

 (iii) The Non-filing Party shall, and shall cause each other member of its Group that is included in such Combined Return
to, prepare and submit at the Filing Party’s request (and in no event later than 60 days after such request), at its own expense, all information that the Filing Party shall reasonably request, in such form as the Filing Party shall reasonably
request, to enable the Filing Party to prepare any Combined Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement. The Filing Party shall make any such Tax Return and related workpapers available for review by the
Non-filing Party to the extent such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which any member of the Non-filing Party’s Group would reasonably be expected to be liable. 

(iv) Except as required by applicable law or as a result of a Final Determination, neither Remainco nor Spinco shall (nor shall
either cause or permit any other members of the Remainco Group or Spinco Group, respectively, to) take any position that is either inconsistent with the treatment of the Spin-Off-Related Transactions as having Tax-Free Status (or analogous status
under state, local or foreign law) or with respect to a specific item of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit on an Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return, treat such specific item in a manner which is inconsistent with the manner such specific
item is reported on an Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return prepared or filed by either Party pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof (including the claiming of a deduction previously claimed on any such Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return). 

(c) Tax Adjustments due to a Final Determination.  

(i) Combined Returns Tax Adjustment-Allocations. If one or more Remainco Adjustments and/or Spinco Adjustments are made
to a Combined Return, the adjustments shall be reflected in the Tax items taken into account in accordance with the principles and methods set forth in Appendix A to determine the adjusted allocation of Tax (or Tax Benefit) among the members of the
Groups. 
 (ii) Payroll Taxes. In the event of any Final Determination that increases the Payroll Taxes payable by any
member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group for any Pre-Distribution Taxable Period, such Payroll Taxes shall be the responsibility of (A) Remainco if such Payroll Taxes are with respect to a Remainco Employee, or (B) Spinco if such
Payroll Taxes are with respect to a Spinco Employee.

 4. Indemnification for Income Taxes and Other Taxes. 

(a) Indemnification by Remainco. From and after the Distribution Date, Remainco and each other member of the Remainco Group shall

any other member of the Remainco Group is responsible for pursuant to Section 3 and that are not otherwise described in this Section 4(a) or in Section 4(b), (ii) 50% of all Prior Spin-off Tax Liabilities, unless due to
Identifiable Cause by either Spinco or Remainco, in which case 100% of such Prior Spin-off Tax Liabilities shall be payable by the Party that caused such Liability; (iii) 60% of all Spin-Off-Related Losses that are not due to Identifiable
Cause; and (iv) all Spin-Off Related Losses that are not described in Section 4(a) (iii) or 4(b)(iii). 
 (b)

to Identifiable Cause; and (iv) all Spin-Off-Related Losses for which Spinco is responsible under Section 5. 
 (c) Timing of
Indemnification Payments. Any payment with respect to any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 4 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 Inome Tax Liabilities or Other 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 is required to make a payment of taxes, interest, or penalties 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 

  
 17 








 (ii) in the case of any payment or indemnification of any Losses not described in
Section 4(c)(i) (including, but not limited to, any Losses described in the definition of Spin-Off-Related 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) Tax Benefits. 

(i) Indemnified Tax Adjustments. If an adjustment or resulting indemnification obligation under Section 4 results in increased
deductions, losses, or credits, or decreases in income, gains or recapture of Tax credits (“Tax Benefits”) to any member of the Indemnified Party’s Group which would not be allowable but for the indemnification obligation (or the
adjustment giving rise to such indemnification obligation); then the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount by which such Tax Benefit actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that the Indemnified Party or any other member
of its Group would have been required to pay (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund to which the Indemnified Party or any other member of the its Group would have been entitled) but for such indemnification obligation (or adjustment giving
rise to such indemnification obligation), in accordance with Appendix A. The Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party for such Tax Benefit no later than five Business Days after such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized. 

(ii) Other Tax Adjustments — Pre-distribution Taxable Periods. If an adjustment resulting in increased Tax liability to one Party
also results in a corresponding adjustment resulting in a Tax Benefit to the other Party, which would not be allowable but for such adjustment, then the Party realizing the Tax Benefit shall pay the other Party the amount by which such Tax Benefit
actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that such Party would have been required to pay (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund which such Party or any member of its Group would have been entitled) but for such Tax Benefit
(provided that the amount of such Tax Benefit payable under this section 4(d)(ii) shall not exceed the amount of the increased Tax liability of the other Party); in accordance with Appendix A. The Party realizing the Tax Benefit shall pay the
other Party for such Tax Benefit no later than five Business Days after such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized. 
 (iii) Employee
Compensation — Post-distribution Taxable Periods. With respect to the Remainco Equity Compensation Awards and Spinco Equity Compensation Awards (each as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement) held by Remainco Employees, Remainco or the
appropriate member of the Remainco Group shall claim any federal, state and/or local tax deductions after the Distribution Date, and no member of the Spinco Group shall claim any such deductions. With respect to the Remainco Equity Compensation
Awards and Spinco Equity Compensation Awards held by Spinco Employees, Spinco or the 

  
 18 








 
appropriate member of the Spinco Group shall claim any federal, state and/or local tax deductions after the Distribution Date, and no member of the Remainco Group shall claim any such deductions.
If either Remainco or Spinco determines in its reasonable judgment that there is a substantial likelihhod that a tax deduction that was assigned to the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iii) will instead be
available only to the other party (whether as a result of a determination by the Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority, a change in the Code or the regulations or guidance thereunder, or otherwise), it shall notify the other party and
both parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue in accordance with the following principle: the party entitled to the deduction shall pay to the other party an amount that places the other party in a financial position equivalent to
the financial position the party would have been in had the party received the deduction as intended under this Section 4(d)(iii). Such amount shall be paid within 5 days after filing the last tax return necessary to make the determination
described in the preceding sentence. 
 5. Spin-Off Related Matters.  

(a) Representations.  

(i) Tax Opinion Documents. Remainco and Spinco each hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has examined the
Tax Opinion Documents (including the representations to the extent that they relate to the plans, proposals, intentions, and policies of itself, its Subsidiaries, its Business, or its Group), and to the extent in reference to itself, its
Subsidiaries, its Business, or its Group, the facts presented and the representations made therein are true, correct and complete. 

(ii) Tax-Free Status. Remainco and Spinco each hereby represents and warrants to the other that neither itself nor any
other member of its Group has a plan or intention to take any action, or fail to take any action, or knows of any circumstance, that could reasonably be expected to (A) cause any of the Spin-Off-Related Transactions not to have Tax-Free Status
or (B) cause any representation or factual statement made in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Tax Opinion Documents to be untrue in a manner that would have an adverse effect on the Tax-Free Status of any of the
Spin-Off-Related Transactions. 
 (iii) Plan or Series of Related Transactions. Spinco hereby represents and warrants
that, to the best knowledge of Spinco, none of the Spin-Off-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 Spinco or any
successor to Spinco. 

  
 19 








 (b) Covenants. 

(i) Actions Consistent with Representations and Covenants. Neither Remainco nor Spinco shall take any action or permit
any other member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, respectively, to take any action, or shall fail to take any action or permit any other member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, respectively, to fail to take any action, where such
action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material information, covenant or representation in this Agreement, the Master Separation Agreement or the Tax Opinion Documents. 

(ii) Preservation of Tax-Free Status. Spinco shall not take any action (including any cessation, transfer or disposition
of all or any portion of any Spinco Business, payment of extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or issuances of stock or entering into any agreement, understanding, arrangement or substantial negotiations regarding any such actions) or permit any
other member of the Spinco Group to take any such action, or fail to take any such action or permit any other member of the Spinco Group to fail to take any such action, in each case, unless such action or failure to act would not cause any
of the Spin-Off-Related Transactions to fail to have Tax-Free Status or could not require Remainco or Spinco to reflect a liability or reserve with respect to any of the Spin-Off-Related Transactions in its financial statements 

(iii) Spinco Business Continuation. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, none of Spinco or any member of
the Spinco Group shall engage in any transaction (including any cessation, transfer or disposition of all or any portion of any Spinco Business) that would result in Spinco or its “separate affiliated group” (within the meaning of
Section 355(b) of the Code) ceasing to be engaged in any Spinco Business for purposes of Section 355(b). 
 (iv)
Sales, Issuances and Redemptions of Equity Securities. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, none of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group shall, or shall agree to, sell or otherwise issue to any Person, or redeem or
otherwise acquire from any Person, any Equity Securities of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group; provided, however, that Spinco may issue such Equity Securities to the extent such issuances satisfy 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). 

(v) Tender Offer; Other Business Transactions. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, none of Spinco or any
other member of the Spinco Group shall (A) solicit any Person to make a tender offer for, or otherwise acquire or sell, the Equity Securities of Spinco, (B) participate in or support any unsolicited tender offer for, or other acquisition,
issuance or disposition of, the Equity Securities of Spinco or (C) approve or otherwise permit any proposed business combination or any transaction which, in the case of clauses (A) or (B), individually or in the aggregate, together with
any transaction 

  
 20 








 
occurring within the four-year period beginning on the date which is two years before the Distribution Date and any other transaction which is part of a plan or series of related transactions
(within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) that includes the Spin-Off, could result in one or more Persons acquiring (except for acquisitions that otherwise satisfy 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)) directly or indirectly stock representing a 40% or greater interest, by vote or
value, in Spinco (or any successor thereto). 
 (vi) Dispositions of Assets. Until the first day after the Restriction
Period none of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group shall sell, transfer or dispose of, or agree to sell, transfer or dispose of, more than 50 percent of the gross assets of any Spinco Business (such percentages to be measured by fair
market values on the Distribution Date) or transfer any assets of the Spinco Group in a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code (other than a transfer to a corporation that is a member of Spinco’s “separate affiliated
group” within the meaning of Section 355(b) of the Code). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to sales, transfers, or dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of business. 

(vii) Liquidations, Mergers, Reorganizations. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, neither Spinco nor any
of its Subsidiaries shall, or shall agree to, voluntarily dissolve or liquidate or engage in any transaction involving a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which stock of Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries is acquired by a person other
than Spinco or one of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that mergers of direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Spinco solely with and into Spinco or with other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Spinco, and
liquidations of Spinco’s Subsidiaries are not subject to this Section 5(b)(vi) to the extent not inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Spin-Off-Related Transactions. 

(c) Permitted Transactions. Notwithstanding the restrictions otherwise imposed by Sections 5(b)(iii) through 5(b)(vii), during the
Restriction Period, Spinco or members of the Spinco Group may (i) engage in a transaction or transactions that would otherwise breach any of the covenants set forth in Sections 5(b)(iii) through (vii) if and only if such transaction
would not violate Section 5(b)(i) or Section 5(b)(ii) and prior to entering into any agreement contemplating such a transaction: (X) Spinco shall provide Remainco with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to Remainco in its reasonable discretion (Y) Spinco shall request that Remainco obtain a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status of any of the Spin-Off-Related
Transactions and Remainco shall have received such a private letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Remainco, or (Z) Remainco in its sole and absolute discretion shall have waived in writing the requirement to obtain such
Unqualified Tax Opinion or private letter ruling. 

  
 21 








 (d) Liability of Spinco for Undertaking Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Spinco and each other member of the Spinco Group shall be responsible for any and all Spin-Off-Related Losses that are attributable to, or result from: 

(i) any act or failure to act by Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group, which act or failure to act breaches any of
the covenants described in Section 5(b)(i) through 5(b)(vii) of this Agreement (without regard to the exceptions or provisos set forth in such provisions), expressly including, for this purpose, any Permitted Transaction and any act or failure
to act that breaches Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii), regardless of whether such act or failure to act is permitted by Section 5(b)(iii) through 5(b)(vii); 

(ii) any acquisition of Equity Securities of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group by any Person or Persons (including
as a result of an issuance of Spinco Equity Securities or a merger of another entity with and into Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group) or any acquisition of assets of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group (including as a result
of a merger) by any Person or Persons; and 
 (iii) Tax Counsel withdrawing all or any portion of the Tax Opinion issued to
Remainco in connection with the Spin-Off-Related Transactions because of a breach by Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group of a representation made in this Agreement (or made in connection with the Tax Opinion.). 

(e) Cooperation.  

(i) Remainco and Spinco shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any request by either for an Unqualified
Tax Opinion or private letter ruling from the IRS with respect to any proposed action described in Section 5(b) (for this purpose, read as if Section 5(b) applied to both Remainco and Spinco). 

(ii) Until the first day after the Restriction Period, Spinco will provide adequate advance notice to Remainco in accordance
with the terms of Section 5(e)(iii) of any action described in Sections 5(b)(i) through 5(b)(vii) within a period of time sufficient to enable Remainco to seek injunctive relief as contemplated by Section 5(f). 

  
 22

conditions of any such proposed transaction, including (A) the nature of any related action proposed to be taken by the board of directors of Spinco, (B) the approximate number of Equity Securities (and their voting and economic rights) of
Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group (if any) proposed to be sold or otherwise issued, (C) the approximate value of Spinco’s assets (or assets of any other member of the Spinco Group) proposed to be transferred, and (D) the
proposed timetable for such transaction, all with sufficient particularity to enable Remainco to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 5(f). Promptly, but in any event within 30 days after Remainco receives such written notice from Spinco,
Remainco shall notify Spinco in writing of Remainco’s decision to seek such injunctive relief. 
 (f) Enforcement. The parties
hereto acknowledge that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 5 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties hereto agree that, in order to
preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Spin-Off-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. 
 6. Tax Contests.  

(a) Notification. Each of Remainco and Spinco shall notify the other party in writing of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement
of an audit received by such Party from any Tax Authority or other Person with respect to any Income Taxes or Other Taxes of Remainco or any other member of the Remainco Group, or Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group, respectively, for
which a member of the Spinco Group or the Remainco Group, respectively, may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of receipt; provided, however, that in the case of any demand, claim or notice of the
commencement of an audit that is reasonably expected to give rise to a Distribution-Related Proceeding, regardless of whether Spinco or Remainco may be responsible for any resulting Taxes, Remainco or Spinco, as the case may be, shall provide
written notice to the other party no later than ten (10) Business Days after Remainco or Spinco receives any written notice of such a demand, claim or notice of commencement of an audit from the IRS or other Tax Authority. Each of Remainco and
Spinco shall include with such notice a true, correct and complete copy of any written communication, and an accurate and complete written summary of any oral communication, received by Remainco or any other member of the Remainco Group, or Spinco
or any other member of the Spinco Group, respectively. The failure of Remainco or Spinco timely to provide such notice in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6(a) shall not relieve Spinco or Remainco, respectively, of any
obligation to pay such Income Tax Liability or Other Tax Liability or indemnify Remainco and the other members of the Remainco Group, or Spinco and the other members of the Spinco Group, respectively, and their respective Representatives therefor,
except to the extent that the failure timely to provide such notice actually prejudices the ability of Spinco or Remainco to contest such Income Tax Liability or Other Tax Liability or increases the amount of such Income Tax Liability or Other Tax
Liability. 

  
 23 








 (b) Representation with Respect to Tax Disputes. (i) Remainco (or such other member

(a) Apportionment of Tax Attributes.  

(i) If the Remainco Consolidated Group has a Tax Attribute, the portion, if any, of such Tax Attribute apportioned by Remainco

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 Filing Party’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.

Refund or in conducting any Proceeding. 

  
 27 








 (b) Retention of Records. Each of Remainco and Spinco agrees to retain all Income Tax
Returns and Other 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 Pre-Distribution Taxable Period or (ii) any taxable period that may be subject to a claim hereunder, in each case, until the later of (A) the expiration of the

periods under this Agreement. 
 9. Resolution of Disputes. Remainco and Spinco shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
disagreement arising with respect to this Agreement, including any dispute in connection with a claim by a Third Party (a “Tax Dispute”). Any party to this Agreement may give any other Party hereto written notice of any Tax Dispute not
resolved in the normal course of business. If the Parties cannot agree by the tenth Business Day following the date on which one Party gives such notice, then the Parties shall promptly retain the services of a nationally recognized law or
accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Tax Dispute Arbitrator”). The Tax Dispute Arbitrator shall be instructed to resolve the Tax Dispute, and such resolution shall be (a) set forth in writing and signed by the
Tax Dispute Arbitrator, (b) delivered to each Party involved in the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable after the Tax Dispute is submitted to the Tax Dispute Arbitrator, but no later than the fifteenth Business Day after the Tax Dispute
Arbitrator is instructed to resolve the dispute, (c) made in accordance with this Agreement, and (d) final, binding and conclusive on the Parties involved in the Tax Dispute on the date of delivery of such resolution. The Tax Dispute
Arbitrator shall be authorized on any one issue to decide in favor of and choose the position of either of the Parties involved in the Tax Dispute or to decide upon a compromise position within the range between the positions presented by the
Parties to the Tax Dispute Arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the Tax Dispute Arbitrator shall be borne 50% by Remainco and 50% by Spinco. 

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 respective Parties for such purpose; provided, however, that, on the date of such wire transfer, notice of the transfer is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with Section 11, 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. 

  
 28 








 (c) Characterization of Payments. For all tax purposes, the parties hereto agree to treat,
and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat any payment required by this Agreement as either a contribution by Remainco to Spinco or a distribution by Spinco to Remainco, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Spin-Off, except
as otherwise mandated by applicable law or a Final Determination; provided, however, that in the event it is determined (i) pursuant to applicable law, or (ii) pursuant to a Final Determination, that any such treatment is not
permissible (or that an Indemnified Party nevertheless suffers an Income Tax or Other Tax detriment as a result of such payment), the payment in question shall be adjusted to place the Indemnified Party in the same after-tax position it would have
enjoyed absent such applicable law or Final Determination. 
 11. Notices. Notices, requests, permissions, waivers, and other

 Appendix A 

Tax Allocation Principles and Methods 
  

	I.	Original Combined Returns (See generally Ex. 1) 

  

	 	A.	Net income/loss before § 199 deduction and NOLs: 

  

	 	(a)	items of income,deduction,loss,capital cost or liability definitely attributable to one Group: allocate to Group and Spinco Group according to actual items attributable to Remainco Group members and Spinco Group
members. 

  

	 	(b)	items of income, deduction, loss, capital cost or liability not directly attributable to one Group: allocate 50/50 to each group. 

  

	 	(c)	interest and penalties: if attributable to a tax, allocate with the tax; if attributable to a filing obligation, allocate to party with the filing obligation 


 

	 	B.	§ 199 deduction: allocate to Remainco Group and Spinco Group in proportion to their relative QPAI 

  

	 	C.	Consolidated NOLs (current-year or c/f): allocated to offset each Group’s taxable income without regard to which Group generated; no compensation by one Group for use of other Group’s NOLs (See Ex’s 6
& 7) 

  

	 	D.	Tax before Credits: allocate in proportion to relative taxable income of each Group computed in accordance with A, B and C. If one Group has net loss, all tax allocated to other Group; loss Group is not entitled to
compensation for use of its loss. (See Ex. 6) 

  

	 	E.	Foreign Tax Credits: allocate in proportion to the FTCs actually generated by each Group for the year. If a Group has a net loss, all FTC allocated to other Group. 


 

	 	F.	R&D Credits: allocate in proportion to the QREs actually generated by each Group for the year. If a Group has a net loss, all R&D credit allocated to other Group. 


 

	 	G.	Refunds: allocate in accordance with computation of each Group’s allocated tax (calculated under A through F) and estimated taxes paid/deemed paid by each Group. 


 

	II.	Carryforwards from Combined Return Tax Years 

  

	 	A.	NOLs: allocate according computation of relative taxable income/loss under I.A. and B. 

  

	 	B.	Credits: allocate according to computations under I.E. and F., above. (See Ex. 1) 

  

	III.	Post-original Filing/Post-spin-off Adjustments (Amended Returns and/or Audits) 

  

	 	A.	Increases in Tax—Combined Returns 









	 	(a)	attributable to adjustments to only one Group: allocate entirely to Group with adjustments (See Ex. 2) 

  

	 	(b)	attributable to net positive adjustments to both Groups: allocate in proportion to the adjustments to each Group (See Ex’s. 3 & 5) 


 

	 	(c)	attributable to net positive adjustments to one Group and net negative adjustments to other Group: allocate entirely to Group with net positive adjustments; Group with net positive adjustments must also compensate other
Group for use of its negative adjustments (consistent with III.B.) 

  

	 	B.	Increase in Taxable Income of one Group in Combined Returns offset by Tax Benefits (e.g., NOLs) allocable to other Group: Group using tax benefits must compensate other Group for loss of tax benefits at time that
other Group would have been able to utilize the benefits to reduce taxes on a separate return (see Ex’s 8 & 9) or receive a refund (see Ex. 10). 

  

	 	C.	Decreases in Tax (Refunds) in Combined Returns: 

  

	 	(a)	attributable to adjustments to only one Group: entire refund allocated to Group with adjustments (See Ex. 4). 

  

	 	(b)	attributable to net negative adjustments to both Groups: refund allocated in proportion to adjustments to each Group. 

  

	 	(c)	attributable to net negative adjustments to one Group and net positive adjustments to other Group: entire refund to Group with net negative adjustments; Group with net positive adjustments must pay the difference in
refund that negative-adjustment Group would have received but for net positive adjustments to other Group. 

  

	 	D.	Items in Combined Returns not attributable: 

  

	 	(a)	items of income, deduction, loss, capital cost, liability, or benefit not directly attributable to one Group is shared equally among the parties. 


 

	 	E.	Adjustments for Tax Benefits/Detriments 

  

	 	(a)	Tax benefits from increases in tax payable: compensation for increase in tax payable is accompanied by obligation of compensated party to pay to compensating party any correlative tax benefit from the tax increase; if
related adjustments to separate returns result in Tax payable by one Group and Tax Benefit to other Group, Group realizing Tax Benefit must pay to other Group an amount of benefit not exceeding the amount of such Group’s increase in Tax
payable. If realization of tax benefit is deferred, payment only as actually realized (unless otherwise agreed by parties). (See Ex’s 9 & 11) 

  

	 	(b)	Tax detriments from refunds: payment by one Group of an amount of a tax refund allocable to the other Group is net of any correlative tax payable by the Group that received the refund. 








 Example 1 – Original combined tax liability allocated between members based on relative contribution

 PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. The group reports $300m of net
consolidated taxable income before the §199 deduction, a §199 deduction of $27m (i.e., TI limited for the year), foreign tax credits of $3m, R&D credits of $5m, and a net tax liability of $87.55m ({$300m — $27m * 35%} — $3m
— $5m). 
 The $300m of net consolidated taxable income before the §199 deduction is composed of (i) $230m of net taxable income attributable
to members of the BWXT group and (ii) $70m of net taxable income attributable to members of the PGG group. The §199 deduction of $27m is limited to TI, but is related to QPAI of $400m, composed of (i) $240m of QPAI attributable to
members of the BWXT group and (ii) $160m of QPAI attributable to members of the PGG group. The $3m of foreign tax credits utilized in the current year is associated with $8.6m of foreign source income generated in the current year. The foreign
tax credits generated in the current year is composed of (i) $2m of foreign tax credits generated by members of the BWXT group and (ii) $4m of foreign tax credits generated by members of the PGG group. The components of foreign source
income is irrelevant since this attribute does not drive the allocation, the tax generation does. The $5m of R&D credits utilized in the current year is computed based on QRE’s generated in the current year of $100m, composed of
(i) $60m of QRE’s attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) $40m of QRE’s attributable to members of the PGG group. 
 Pursuant
to Appendix A, Section I, the $87.55m of net tax liability is allocated (i) $70.83m to BWXT and (ii) $16.72m to PGG. A schedule is presented below to summarize the net tax liability computations for each party. 

It should be further noted that the excess FTC’s generated in the CY by the consolidated group and not utilized within the consolidated tax return should
also be attributable to the members based on their relative contribution. Pursuant to Appendix A, Section II.B, the $3m of foreign tax credits carried forward into the subsequent tax periods ($6m generated—$3m utilized) is comprised of
(i) $1m attributable to the BWXT group ($2m/$6m * $3m) and (ii) $2m attributable to the PGG group ($4m/$6m * $3m).

 Example 2 – Incremental tax expense allocated to member who gave rise to the adjustment 

Same facts as example 1, except an audit adjustment is made in a future year to decrease PGG’s associated QRE’s. This audit adjustment decreases the
generation and utilization of the combined groups R&D credit by $150,000. Due to BWXT being the taxpayer of the combined filing, BWXT will be required to pay the taxing jurisdiction for the increase in tax. However, pursuant to Appendix A
Section III.A.(a),., PGG will be required to compensate BWXT for the applicable tax payment since the audit adjustment was solely related to the PGG group. 

Example 3 – Incremental tax expense allocated to each member based on relative weight 

Same facts as example 1, except an audit adjustment is made in the future to decrease the QRE’s attributable to PGG by $1m and the QRE’s attributable
to BWXT by $2m. This audit adjustment decreases the generation and utilization of the combined group’s R&D credit by $300,000. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.A.(b) PGG will be liable for $100,000 ($1m/$3m * $300,000) and BWXT will be
liable for $200,000 ($2m/$3m * $300,000) of the associated additional tax. 
 Example 4 – Incremental net tax benefit allocated to member who gave
rise to the adjustment 
 Same facts as example 1, but subsequent to the distribution year, BWXT files an amended return claiming $25m of additional
deductions to its separate company taxable income. The recognition of these additional deductions does not change the company’s §199 computation from the TI limitation described in IRC §199(a). Therefore, due to the combined
group’s §199 deduction being subject to the taxable income limitation, this decrease to BWXT’s separate company taxable income also decreases the combined group’s §199 deduction by $2.25m ($25m * 9%). The IRS audits the
amended filing and concludes that BWXT is due a refund of $7.96m ($25m-$2.25m * 35%). Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.C.(a), BWXT is entitled to the net refund of $7.96m and is not entitled to receive compensation from PGG for the correlative
decrease in the combined group’s §199 deduction. 
 Example 5 – Incremental net tax expense allocated to each member based on relative
weight 
 Same facts as example 1, but subsequent to the distribution year, the IRS audits the combined return and determines that BWXT underreported
income by $20m and PGG underreported income by $10m. The recognition of this additional income does not change the company’s §199 computation from the TI limitation described in IRC §199(a). Therefore, due to the combined group’s
§199 deduction being subject to the taxable income limitation, this increase to the combined group’s taxable income also increases the combined group’s §199 deduction by $2.7m ($30m * 9%). The final net audit adjustments results
in a net tax due of $9.55m ($30m-$2.7m * 35%). Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.A.(b), BWXT is liable for $6.37m of the $9.55m ($20m/$30m * $9.55m) and PGG is liable for $3.18m of the $9.55m ($10m/$30m * $9.55m). 

Example 6—Original combined tax liability allocated between members based on relative contribution, but no compensation/indemnity for tax benefit
utilized within original combined return 
 PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution
date. The group reports $200m of net consolidated taxable income, no credits, and a tax liability of $70m ($200m * 35%). The $300m of net consolidated taxable income is composed of (i) $300m of net taxable








 
income attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) a $100m net operating loss is attributable to members of the PGG group. Pursuant to Appendix A Section I.C, the $70m of tax
liability is attributable entirely to the BWXT group and BWXT is not required to compensate PGG for the utilization of the $100m net operating loss. 

Example 7 – No compensation/indemnity for tax benefit utilized within original combined return (State NOL Carry-forwards) 

PGG and BWXT participate in a combined state filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. The combined filing utilizes a NOL generated
and carried forward into the tax filing by the PGG group. Pursuant to Appendix A Section I.C. the utilization of this NOL C/F that is applied to and against any liability allocated to the BWXT group is not considered a tax benefit for which BWXT
must compensate PGG. 
 Example 8 – Potential compensation/indemnity for tax benefit utilized subsequent to original combined filing (State NOL
Carry-forwards) 
 Same facts as example 7, except an audit adjustment is made in a future year to increase BWXT’s applicable tax liability for the
combined year. This increase to BWXT’s applicable tax liability increases the utilization of the NOL C/F and therefore decreases the NOL C/F available to the PGG group post-distribution. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B., this decrease to
the PGG groups deferred tax asset is a tax benefit for which BWXT must compensate PGG when and if a resulting economic loss is realized by PGG. 

Example 9 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (State NOL Carry-forwards) 

In addition to the facts detailed out within examples 7 & 8 PGG filed an original return in the tax year subsequent to the distribution date utilizing the
remaining NOL carried forward from the distribution tax year. Due to the audit adjustment against BWXT’s tax liability described in example 8, PGG must file an amended return reflecting this decrease in the available NOL carried forward into
and utilized within the post-distribution tax filing. PGG is required to pay the taxing jurisdiction an additional $100,000 due to the loss of available NOL C/F from the pre-distribution tax filing. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B, BWXT is
required to compensate PGG within 30 days of PGG making the associated payment to the taxing jurisdiction. However, pursuant to Appendix A Section IV.A., BWXT is only required to compensate PGG $65,000 ($100,000 * 65%) for the net economic impact
(i.e., net of federal benefit). 
 Example 10 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (loss of refund)

 PGG and BWXT participate in a combined tax return for a pre-distribution tax period, and each pays its allocable share of the tax shown as due
thereon. After the distribution, audit adjustments are made that increase the taxable income allocable to BWXT and decreases the taxable income allocable to PGG. The PGG decreases offset the BWXT increases. Without the BWXT increases, PGG would have
been entitled to receive a refund. (See Appendix A Section III.C.(a) and Ex. 4 above.) Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B., BWXT must compensate PGG for the loss of its refund. 







 Example 11 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (tax
benefits received by one party from increases in tax payable of the other party) 
 PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax
period that begins prior to the distribution date. As part of this filing, BWXT transfers IP to PGG in a taxable transaction valued at $10m. Subsequent to the distribution year, the IRS audits the combined return and determines the value of the IP
to be $30m. Pursuant to Section Appendix A, Section III.A.(d), the adjustment is attributable to BWXT and therefore BWXT would be responsible for the additional tax of $7m ($30m-$10m * 35%). However, this increase to the IP valuation also increases
the amortizable basis of the IP in the hands of PGG, for which PGG will receive future deductions or benefits (i.e., in the form of amortization). Pursuant to Appendix A, Section IV.A., PGG must provide compensation to BWXT when these future
benefits are actually realized. Since the realization of the tax benefits by PGG will occur over a 15 year period (i.e., the IRS amortization period), the two parties may wish to agree on a settlement amount at the time of the IRS audit adjustment
to eliminate the need for multiple indemnity payments over a significant time period.
