#### Explanatory Note
On April 20, 2026 (the "Distribution Date") at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, AnaptysBio, Inc. ("AnaptysBio," the "Company," "we," "us," "our") completed the previously announced separation (the "Spin-Off") of First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc. ("First Tracks Biotherapeutics") from the Company. The Spin-Off of First Tracks Biotherapeutics was achieved through the Company's pro rata distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of First Tracks Biotherapeutics to holders of record of the Company's common stock. Each holder of record of the Company's common stock received one share of First Tracks Biotherapeutics' common stock for every one share of Company common stock held on April 6, 2026, the record date for the distribution. On April 20, 2026, First Tracks Biotherapeutics' shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol "TRAX."

---

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and First Tracks Biotherapeutics entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement") and a transition services agreement (the "Transition Services Agreement") to effect the Spin-Off.

#### Separation and Distribution Agreement
We entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with First Tracks Biotherapeutics before the Spin-Off that sets forth our agreements with First Tracks Biotherapeutics regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Spin-Off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of our relationship with First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the Spin-Off.

*Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement identifies the assets to be transferred to (including the contracts to be assigned) or retained by, and the liabilities to be assumed or retained by, each of the Royalty Management Co. Business and First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business (each as defined below), and it provides for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments will occur. "Royalty Management Co. Business" refers to holding and managing the rights to dostarlimab, including the Jemperli royalties arising from agreements among AnaptysBio, Tesaro, Inc., Tesaro Development, Ltd. and GlaxoSmithKline LLC, and imsidolimab royalties from the licensing collaboration between AnaptysBio and Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. for the development and commercialization of imsidolimab (IL-36R antagonist mAb). "First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business" refers to AnaptysBio's biotechnology business focused on development and potential commercialization of innovative therapeutics for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including clinical-stage programs for rosnilimab, ANB033 and ANB101. For the purpose of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, and subject to terms of and any exceptions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the assets consist of all right, title and ownership interests in and to all assets, properties, claims, information generated for the business, intellectual property, contracts and rights (including goodwill), wherever located (including in the possession of vendors or other third parties or elsewhere on behalf of a person or entity), of every kind, character and description, whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible, whether accrued or contingent, in each case whether or not received, recorded or reflected or required to be recorded or reflected on the books and records or financial statements of any person or entity, including rights and benefits pursuant to any contract, license, permit, indenture, note, bond, mortgage, agreement, concession, franchise, instrument, undertaking, commitment, understanding or other arrangement. Liabilities consist of any and all debts, guarantees, assurances, commitments, losses, remediation, deficiencies, penalties, settlements, sanctions, costs, expenses, interest and obligations, whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, reserved or unreserved, or determined or determinable, including those arising under any law (including environmental laws), proceeding, whether asserted or unasserted, or order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, stipulation, determination or award entered by or with any governmental authority and those arising under any contract, agreement, obligation, indenture, instrument, lease, promise, arrangement, release, warranty, commitment or undertaking or any fines, damages or equitable relief which may be imposed and including all costs and expenses related thereto.

Business, and will retain or assume those liabilities arising out of or resulting from the ownership or operation of (i) any business conducted by AnaptysBio on or prior to the time of the Spin-Off and (ii) the Royalty Management Co.

*Consents and Delayed Transfers* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, licenses, permits, or waivers with respect to, among other things, contracts required in connection with the distribution or, at the written request of the other party, the assignment or novation of certain obligations under contracts, licenses and other liabilities of the parties. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also requires AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics to cooperate with each other from and after the time of the Spin-Off to, among other things, execute and deliver, or use reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, and to make all filings, provide any notice and obtain all consents and/or approvals under any licenses, permits, waivers, orders or authorizations in order to effectuate the transfer of the applicable assets and assignment and assumption of the applicable liabilities pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

From and after the distribution, with respect to any asset whose transfer or assignment is delayed, the party retaining such delayed asset will hold for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the entity entitled thereto) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the intended recipient to agree to any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the applicable party with the economic claims, rights, benefits and control over such delayed asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangements to the extent legally permissible. From and after the distribution, with respect to any liability whose assumption is delayed, the party intended to assume such delayed liability will pay or reimburse the party retaining such delayed liability for all amounts paid or incurred by such party in connection with the retention of such delayed liability.

*Commingled Contracts* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that any contract to which First Tracks Biotherapeutics or AnaptysBio is a party that relates to both the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business and the Royalty Management Co.

From the date of the Separation and Distribution Agreement until the date that is 24 months after the distribution, to the extent the rights and obligations under any commingled contract have not or are not contemplated to be provided to either First Tracks Biotherapeutics or AnaptysBio following the distribution pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or sublicensed, replacement contracts, contract rights, bids, purchase orders or other agreements with respect to the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business or Royalty Management Co. Business have not been obtained or are not contemplated to be obtained pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, and as requested by either First Tracks Biotherapeutics or AnaptysBio in writing, each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other party to establish replacement contracts, contract rights, bids, purchase orders, or other agreements with respect to either the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business or Royalty Management Co. Business, to assign to the other party or any of its subsidiaries following the distribution the rights and obligations under such commingled contract to the extent primarily related to either the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business or Royalty Management Co. Business, as applicable, or to establish reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide either First Tracks Biotherapeutics and its subsidiaries or AnaptysBio and its subsidiaries following the distribution with the rights and obligations under such commingled contract to the extent related to either the Royalty Management Co. Business or the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business. After the distribution, if AnaptysBio holds any First Tracks Biotherapeutics assets or registered intellectual property not primarily related to the Royalty Management Co. Business, AnaptysBio must inform First Tracks Biotherapeutics and use reasonable best efforts to transfer them to First Tracks Biotherapeutics without extra cost. Similarly, if First Tracks Biotherapeutics holds assets or registered intellectual property primarily related to the Royalty Management Co. Business (notwithstanding certain trademarks), First Tracks Biotherapeutics must inform AnaptysBio and use reasonable best efforts to transfer them to AnaptysBio at no additional cost.

*Access to Information* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for the following access to information:

Business, in the case of a request by AnaptysBio, or which are necessary or advisable for the requesting party to prepare its financial statements and any reports or filings to be made with any governmental authority;

• from and after the Distribution Date, AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics will each use commercially reasonable efforts to make available, upon reasonable written request, its and its subsidiaries' representatives as witnesses and any agreements, documents, books, records or files (whether written or electronic) within their control or which they may make available without undue burden, as reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with the prosecution or defense of any proceeding, with the requesting party to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith; and

• for a period of five years after the Distribution Date, upon reasonable prior notice, each of AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics will make available to the other applicable party's officers and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to its employees and properties that relate to the other party's business and will furnish promptly all information concerning such other party's business and such other party's properties and personnel related thereto, as may reasonably be requested, provided that neither party will be required to (i) permit any inspection or disclosure of any information that, in the reasonable judgment of such party, would be detrimental to such party's or its subsidiaries' business or operations, result in the disclosure of trade secrets or know-how of third parties or violate confidentiality obligations, be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of the Separation and Distribution Agreement or involve information that is reasonably pertinent to a litigation or proceeding between First Tracks Biotherapeutics and its affiliates, on the one hand, and AnaptysBio and its affiliates, on the other hand, after the distribution, (ii) disclose any privileged information or (iii) submit to any invasive environmental testing or sampling.

*Releases* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, each party, on behalf of itself and each member of its group, and to the extent permitted by law, all persons who any time prior to the distribution were stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of its respective group (in their respective capacities as such), effective at the time of and conditioned upon the occurrence of the distribution, will remise, release and forever discharge the other party and the other members of the other party's group and their respective successors, stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees from any and all liabilities to the extent existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or have failed to occur, and any conditions existing or alleged to have existed, on or before the distribution, including in connection with the Spin-Off, the distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated under the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement.

*Indemnification* 

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, AnaptysBio agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless First Tracks Biotherapeutics, each of its affiliates after giving effect to the distribution, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all losses to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with:

• any liabilities described under "Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities" as allocated to AnaptysBio following the distribution pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement;

------

• the failure of AnaptysBio, any of its subsidiaries following the distribution or any other person or entity to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge such liabilities, whether prior to, at or after the time of the Spin-Off;

• any breach by AnaptysBio or any of its subsidiaries of the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement;

• except to the extent related to liabilities described under "Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities" as allocated to First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the distribution pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding to the extent discharged or performed by AnaptysBio or any subsidiary of AnaptysBio following the distribution for the benefit of First Tracks Biotherapeutics or any subsidiary of First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the distribution that survives the time of the Spin-Off;

• any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information supplied by AnaptysBio in writing expressly for inclusion in the registration statement in connection with the distribution and the related information statement (including any amendments or supplements) or any other filings with the SEC made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement;

• certain tax liabilities that AnaptysBio is liable for pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and

• any liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from claims by any holders of shares of AnaptysBio common stock, in their capacity as such, in connection with the distribution.

First Tracks Biotherapeutics agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AnaptysBio, each of its affiliates after giving effect to the distribution and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all losses to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with:

• any liabilities described under "Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities" as allocated to First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the distribution pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement;

• the failure of First Tracks Biotherapeutics, any of its subsidiaries following the distribution or any other person or entity to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge such liabilities, whether prior to, at or after the time of the Spin-Off;

• any breach by First Tracks Biotherapeutics or any of its subsidiaries of the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement;

• except to the extent related to liabilities described under "Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities" as allocated to AnaptysBio following the distribution pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding to the extent discharged or performed by First Tracks Biotherapeutics or any subsidiary of First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the distribution for the benefit of AnaptysBio or any subsidiary of AnaptysBio following the distribution that survives the time of the Spin-Off;

• any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in the registration statement in connection with the distribution and the related information statement (including any amendments or supplements) or

------

any other filings with the SEC made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, excluding any such liabilities to the extent relating to information supplied by AnaptysBio in writing expressly for inclusion in such filings;

• any liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from claims by any holders of shares of First Tracks Biotherapeutics common stock, in their capacity as such, in connection with the distribution; and

• certain tax liabilities that First Tracks Biotherapeutics is liable for pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the amount of any indemnifiable loss will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds actually received and any other amounts actually recovered from third parties in respect of the indemnifiable claim, less (ii) any related costs and expenses of such receipt or recovery, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any taxes. The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that an insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim will not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the indemnified party will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party insurance proceeds or other indemnification, contribution or similar payments to which the indemnified party is entitled in connection with any liability for which the indemnified party seeks indemnification pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The amount of any claim by an indemnified party under the Separation and Distribution Agreement will also be reduced to reflect any actual tax savings or insurance proceeds received by any indemnified party that result from the losses that gave rise to such indemnity, and will be increased by an amount equal to any tax cost incurred by any indemnified party that results from the receipt of payments under the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

The Separation and Distribution Agreement also establishes procedures with respect to third-party claims subject to indemnification and related matters.

*Tax Matters* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement will govern the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax returns, tax contests and tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also will provide special rules for allocating certain tax liabilities resulting from the Spin-Off and related transactions.

Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, First Tracks Biotherapeutics generally will provide a tax indemnity to AnaptysBio for "SpinCo Indemnified Taxes" (generally First Tracks Biotherapeutics' shares of transfer taxes and any income taxes, calculated on a pro forma basis, attributable to the assets and liabilities associated with the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business that arose in taxable periods that precede and include the distribution) and AnaptysBio generally will provide a tax indemnity to First Tracks Biotherapeutics for any "Company Indemnified Taxes" (generally taxes arising in respect of the separation and the distribution, AnaptysBio's share of transfer taxes and taxes of AnaptysBio or the consolidated group of which AnaptysBio was the common parent that are not SpinCo Indemnified Taxes). The parties have also agreed to make, at AnaptysBio's election, a Section 336(e) Election with respect to First Tracks Biotherapeutics, resulting in First Tracks Biotherapeutics receiving a fair market value tax basis in its assets.

*Non-Solicit*

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that, for a period of 24 months following the time of the Spin-Off, none of AnaptysBio, First Tracks Biotherapeutics or any of their respective subsidiaries will, without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to certain exceptions, directly or indirectly recruit, solicit, hire or retain certain specified employees of the other party or, subject to certain exceptions, induce or attempt to induce any such employee to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease his or her relationship with, the other party or its subsidiaries.

------

*Additional Covenants* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement also addresses additional obligations of the parties relating to, among other matters, further assurances, guarantees, provision and retention of corporate records, confidentiality, privilege, ownership and exchanges of information and using their reasonable best efforts to, prior to the Distribution Date, finalize the Transition Services Agreement and identify the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement.

*Employee Matters / Executive Compensation* 

Prior to the time of the Spin-Off, AnaptysBio will transfer and assign (i) the employment of all current employees of AnaptysBio and (ii) all independent contractors or other service providers of AnaptysBio or any of its affiliates who primarily provide, or who have primarily provided, services to the First Tracks Biotherapeutics Business and who are currently engaged or providing services as of immediately prior to the distribution, each to First Tracks Biotherapeutics. Such transfer (1) will not be deemed to be a termination of employment by AnaptysBio (upon the effective time of the distribution), as applicable, and (2) will not trigger any obligation to pay severance, separation pay, salary continuation, or other similar benefits to any such transferred employee.

First Tracks Biotherapeutics will assume and honor all employment and individual agreements between AnaptysBio and the employees and other service providers transferred to First Tracks Biotherapeutics, as well as all benefit plans maintained by AnaptysBio. Upon the time of the Spin-Off, AnaptysBio will cease to be a participating company in any First Tracks Biotherapeutics benefit plan.

Following the distribution, First Tracks Biotherapeutics will have full responsibility with respect to any liabilities arising or relating to the employment or engagement of all current and former employees and other service providers of AnaptysBio or under the employment and individual agreements and benefit plans transferred to First Tracks Biotherapeutics (inclusive of the payment or performance of any obligation arising out of or relating to any annual cash bonus other than the portion of any annual bonuses that is attributed to the period prior to the separation date or other short-term cash incentive plan or program in which First Tracks Biotherapeutics employees participate (excluding responsibility for the payment of the portion of the bonuses attributed to the period prior to the separation date)).

AnaptysBio will retain responsibility for the payment of any cash fees payable in respect of service on the board of directors pre-closing that are required by the existing non-employee director compensation plan as of the date of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and payable but not yet paid as of the distribution. First Tracks Biotherapeutics will have no responsibility for any such payments.

First Tracks Biotherapeutics may implement a cash retention program in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for the following treatment of outstanding equity awards.

**Options.** Each outstanding AnaptysBio option will be converted into (i) an adjusted AnaptysBio option covering the same number of shares and (ii) a new First Tracks Biotherapeutics option covering a number of shares equal to the original share number multiplied by the distribution ratio. The aggregate exercise price will be allocated between the two options based on the respective first closing prices of AnaptysBio common stock and First Tracks Biotherapeutics common stock following the Spin-Off. Neither option will be exercisable during a blackout period ending after the post-Spin-Off exercise prices are determined.

------

**Restricted Stock Units.** Each holder of an outstanding AnaptysBio restricted stock unit ("RSU") will continue to hold an AnaptysBio RSU following the Distribution Date.

**Performance Stock Units.** Outstanding AnaptysBio performance stock units ("PSUs") related to the $75 and $100 stock-price hurdles will be cancelled and replaced with new PSUs covering shares of First Tracks Biotherapeutics common stock equal in value to the cancelled awards.

#### Additional Terms and Conditions
Holders of outstanding AnaptysBio awards and First Tracks Biotherapeutics awards issued in connection therewith will continue to vest in such awards so long as they remain employed by AnaptysBio, First Tracks Biotherapeutics or any affiliate of either entity.

The Spin-Off will not constitute a "change in control" of AnaptysBio. Upon any "change in control" of AnaptysBio (as defined in AnaptysBio's equity plan) following the Spin-Off, all then-outstanding AnaptysBio equity awards will accelerate and vest in full.

If AnaptysBio declares any cash dividend following the Spin-Off, each AnaptysBio RSU holder will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the value of such dividend, payable one year following the dividend payment date, subject to continued employment with AnaptysBio or First Tracks Biotherapeutics, as applicable. If AnaptysBio declares an extraordinary cash dividend following the Spin-Off, the exercise price of each outstanding AnaptysBio option will be reduced by the per-share value of such dividend, but not below 25% of the price of AnaptysBio common stock following such dividend. To the extent the dividend value exceeds the permissible exercise price reduction, each affected option holder will also receive a cash payment equal to the difference, payable (i) for vested options, as soon as reasonably practicable following the dividend date, and (ii) for unvested options, one year following the dividend payment date, subject to continued employment with AnaptysBio or First Tracks Biotherapeutics, as applicable. If an RSU or option holder is terminated without "cause" (as defined in the applicable award agreement) after a dividend is declared but before any applicable cash payment is made, such payment will be accelerated and paid on the date of termination.

*Licensed Names and Marks*

Each party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred after the date of the distribution.

*Termination* 

The Separation and Distribution Agreement may be terminated, and the distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned, at any time prior to the distribution by an agreement in writing signed by AnaptysBio, without the approval of First Tracks Biotherapeutics. After the distribution, the Separation and Distribution Agreement may only be terminated by an agreement in writing signed by AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics.

If the Court of Chancery declines jurisdiction, any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue.

#### Transition Services Agreement
We entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which First Tracks Biotherapeutics will provide us with certain specified services for a limited time to ensure orderly transition following the Spin-Off.

The services are generally intended to be provided for a period no longer than two years following the Spin-Off. The parties may mutually agree to terminate the agreement with respect to any service or negotiate reductions in the scope of services provided.

If reasonably practicable and permitted under applicable Law, such Transfer may be effected by rescission of the applicable portion of a Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument as may be agreed by the relevant Parties. For clarity, in the event that any Asset set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2.5(a)(ii)</u> is held by a former Affiliate of the SpinCo Group, SpinCo shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the rights to such Asset back from such former Affiliate (or any applicable successor or assign). Any Transfer made pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.5(a)</u> shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a Final Determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to designate additional RemainCo Assets as SpinCo Assets, such that such Assets will be assigned to or remain with SpinCo at the closing of the Distribution; <u>provided</u>, that (i) any such designated RemainCo Assets must be primarily related to the SpinCo Business, and (ii) the designation of such Assets as SpinCo Assets may not result in the assumption of additional SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo that exceed the value of such Assets. To the extent that the designation of any such Assets as SpinCo Assets would result in the assumption of additional SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo that exceed the value of such Assets, or where such Assets are not primarily related to the SpinCo Business, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to determine the allocation of such Assets as between RemainCo and SpinCo.

Section 2.6 <u>Novation of Liabilities</u>.

The Liable Party shall indemnify the Other Party as set forth in <u>Article V</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party for losses resulting from such Other Party's gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or any member of the Liable Party's Group, any money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement).

Prior to the Distribution, the Company and SpinCo shall take any action as shall be necessary or appropriate to provide that, in connection with and effective as of the Distribution, (A) each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock granted under the Incentive Plans (a "<u>Pre-Spin Company Option</u>") shall be adjusted so that such option is an option to acquire SpinCo Common Stock (a "<u>SpinCo Option</u>") and an option to acquire Company Common Stock (a "<u>Post-Spin Company Option</u>"), (B) each outstanding restricted stock unit granted under the Incentive Plans that does not have any unachieved performance-based vesting conditions (a "<u>Pre-Spin Company RSU</u>") shall be adjusted so that such restricted stock unit is a restricted stock unit in respect of SpinCo Common Stock (a "<u>SpinCo RSU</u>") and a restricted stock unit in respect of Company Common Stock (a "<u>Post-Spin Company RSU</u>"), and (C) each outstanding restricted stock unit granted under the Incentive Plans that has unachieved performance-based vesting conditions (a "<u>Pre-Spin Company PSU</u>") shall be adjusted so that such restricted stock unit is a restricted stock unit solely in respect of SpinCo Common Stock (a "<u>SpinCo PSU</u>"), in each case as set forth below. Prior to the Distribution, SpinCo shall adopt an equity compensation plan under which the SpinCo Options and SpinCo RSUs shall be issued with terms consistent with this <u>Section</u> <u>4.3(d)(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Post-Spin Company Options</u>. The number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying each Post-Spin Company Option shall equal the number of shares underlying the applicable Pre-Spin Company Option. The exercise price of each Post-Spin Company Option shall equal the product, rounded up to the nearest cent, of (A) the exercise price of the applicable Pre-Spin Company Option multiplied by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the RemainCo Per Share Value by (2) the Combined Per Share Value. The Post-Spin Company Option shall otherwise receive the same treatment, and be subject to the same terms and conditions, as the Pre-Spin Company Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>SpinCo Options</u>. The number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock underlying each SpinCo Option shall equal the number of shares underlying the applicable Pre-Spin Company Option multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, the product of which shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. The exercise price of each SpinCo Option shall equal the price, rounded up to the nearest cent, determined by dividing (A) the product of (1) the exercise price of the Pre-Spin Company Option multiplied by (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the SpinCo Per Share Value by (b) the Combined Per Share Value, by (B) the Distribution Ratio. Each SpinCo Option shall be otherwise subject to terms and conditions substantially the same as the applicable Pre-Spin Company Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Post-Spin Company RSUs</u>. The number of restricted stock units subject to each Post-Spin Company RSU shall equal the number of shares subject to the applicable Pre-Spin Company RSU.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>SpinCo RSUs</u>. The number of restricted stock units subject to each SpinCo RSU shall equal (1) the number of shares subject to the applicable Pre-Spin Company RSU multiplied by (2) the Distribution Ratio, the product of which shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) <u>SpinCo PSUs</u>. The number of restricted stock units subject to each SpinCo PSU shall equal the number determined by multiplying (1) the product of (A) the number of shares subject to the applicable Pre-Spin Company PSU and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Company Per Share Value by (ii) the SpinCo Per Share Value by (2) the Distribution Ratio. The performance-based vesting conditions shall remain in place for the SpinCo PSUs provided that, the stock price hurdles shall be with respect to SpinCo Common Stock and shall be adjusted by dividing (A) the product of (i) the applicable hurdle and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the SpinCo Per Share Value by (2) the Company Per Share Value by (B) the Distribution Ratio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Accelerated Vesting Following the Distribution</u>. Following the Distribution, if a change in control (based on the definition set forth in any long-term incentive plan of RemainCo or SpinCo, as applicable) of (A) RemainCo occurs, (i) all outstanding RemainCo equity awards shall accelerate and vest "single-trigger" and (ii) any RemainCo Employee who only works for RemainCo who experiences a "double-trigger" vesting event shall also vest into such RemainCo Employee's SpinCo Options and SpinCo RSUs or (B) SpinCo occurs, any SpinCo Employee who only works for SpinCo who experiences a "double-trigger" vesting event shall also vest into such SpinCo Employee's Post-Spin Company Options or Post-Spin Company RSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) <u>RemainCo Cash Dividend Following the Distribution</u>. Following the Distribution, if RemainCo declares any cash dividend, each holder of a Post-Spin Company RSU shall be entitled to a cash payment for each such Post-Spin Company RSU equal to the value of such dividend (the "<u>RSU Dividend Payment</u>") on the date that is one year following the date of such dividend (the "<u>Payment Date</u>"), subject to continued service to SpinCo or RemainCo (as applicable) through such date. Following the Distribution, if RemainCo declares an extraordinary cash dividend, the exercise price of each Post-Spin Company Option shall be reduced by the value of such dividend (the "<u>Dividend Value</u>"), provided that the Post-Spin Company Option exercise price shall not be reduced to less than 25% of the RemainCo stock price immediately following the dividend and, to the extent that the Dividend Value is greater than the exercise price reduction, the remaining value (the "<u>Option Cash Payment</u>") shall be paid in cash to each holder of such Post-Spin Company Option. The Option Cash Payment shall be made in respect of each (i) vested Post-Spin Company Option, as soon as reasonably practicable following the dividend payment date and (ii) unvested Post-Spin Company Option, on the Payment Date, subject to continued service to SpinCo or RemainCo (as applicable) through such date. Upon a termination of the Post-Spin Company RSU holder or the Post-Spin Company Option holder without Cause (as defined in the applicable equity award agreement) following the dividend date but prior to the Payment Date, the RSU Dividend Payment and Option Cash Payment (as applicable) shall be accelerated and paid on such termination date. For the avoidance of doubt, such termination without Cause shall not cause an acceleration of the underlying Post-Spin Company RSU or Post-Spin Company Option (as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) <u>Settlement</u>. The Company shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with Post-Spin Company Options and Post-Spin Company RSUs and SpinCo shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with SpinCo Options and SpinCo RSUs, including any share delivery, registration or other obligations related to the settlement of such awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Short-Term Incentive Plans</u>. SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that it shall have full responsibility with respect to any Liabilities and the payment or performance of any obligation arising out of or relating to any annual cash bonus or other short-term cash incentive plans or program in which Transferred Employees participate; provided that, with respect to annual cash bonuses for calendar year 2026 payable to Transferred Employees, RemainCo shall reimburse SpinCo (within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor) for a pro-rata portion of each such bonus equal to the product of (x) the total amount of such bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in calendar year 2026 occurring prior to and including the Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in calendar year 2026. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) neither RemainCo nor any member of the RemainCo Group will assume any Liabilities for any annual cash or other short-term cash incentive plans or program maintained or sponsored by SpinCo or its Subsidiaries following the Distribution and (B) neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group will assume any Liabilities for any annual cash or other short-term cash incentive plans or program maintained or sponsored by RemainCo or its Subsidiaries following the Distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Individual Arrangements</u>. SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it shall have full responsibility with respect to any Liabilities and the payment or performance of any obligations arising out of or relating to any employment, consulting, non-competition, retention or other compensatory arrangement entered into between any member of the SpinCo Group and any Transferred Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Payroll and Related Taxes</u>. The Parties shall, to the extent practicable, (A) treat the Company or a member of the RemainCo Group as a "predecessor employer" and SpinCo (or the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group) as a "successor," within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Transferred Employees for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (B) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the filing of more than one United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-2 with respect to each Transferred Employee for the calendar year in which the Distribution Effective Time occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Cooperation; Personnel Records; Data Sharing</u>. At all times following the Distribution Effective Time, the Parties shall, or shall cause any member of their respective Groups to, cooperate in good faith as necessary to facilitate the administration of the Transferred Plans, as applicable, and the resolution of related employee benefit claims, including with respect to the provision of employee-level information necessary for the other Party to manage, administer, finance and file required reports with respect to such administration. The Parties shall, or shall cause any member of their respective Groups to, provide each other such records and information as necessary or appropriate to carry out their obligations under applicable Law, this Agreement, or for the purposes of administering the Transferred Plans, as applicable, as soon as administratively practicable after the Distribution Effective Time or upon reasonable request by the other Party. All information and records regarding employment and personnel matters of Transferred Employees shall be accessed, retained, held, used, copied and transmitted after the Distribution Date by the Parties in accordance with all applicable Laws and policies relating to the collection, storage, retention, use, transmittal, disclosure and destruction of such records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Director Obligations</u>. Except for any SpinCo Options and SpinCo RSUs issued pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>4.3(d)(iii)</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>4.3(d)(v)</u> to current or former members of the Company Board of Directors, the Company shall retain responsibility for the payment of any cash fees payable in respect of service on the Company Board of Directors, as required by existing Benefit Plans as of the date of this Agreement, that are payable but not yet paid as of the Distribution (which amounts, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be calculated on a pro-rated basis to reflect the period of service through the Distribution Date), and SpinCo shall have no responsibility for any such payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>No Third Party Beneficiaries</u>. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to any compensation or benefit on the part of any Transferred Employee or other future, present, or former employee of any member of the SpinCo Group or RemainCo Group under any Transferred Plan or otherwise. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision "amends" that other agreement, plan, program, or document. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Current Employee or former employee or service provider of SpinCo, the Company or either of their respective Affiliates any right to continued employment or service, or any recall or similar rights to an individual on layoff or any type of approved leave.

Section 4.4 <u>No Solicit</u><u>;</u> <u>No Hire</u>. None of RemainCo, SpinCo or any member of their respective Groups shall, for a period of twenty four (24) months from the Distribution Effective Time, without the prior written consent of the other Party, directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit, hire or retain any person who is an employee specified on <u>Schedule B</u> of the other Party or its Subsidiaries as of the Distribution Effective Time or induce, or attempt to induce, any such employee to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease his or her relationship with, the other Party or its Subsidiaries<u>;</u> <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) nothing in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.4</u> shall be deemed to prohibit any general solicitation for employment through advertisements and search firms not specifically directed at employees of such other Party or any hiring as a result thereof, and (ii) the prohibitions of this <u>Section</u> <u>4.4</u> shall not apply with respect to employees who have been terminated by a Party. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>4.4</u> were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In respect of countries whose local Laws declare as invalid or unenforceable or prohibit any agreement between employers not to hire employees of the other, the Parties shall not have an agreement not to hire employees of the other but agree not to actively solicit the services of each other's employees for such period on and after the Distribution Effective Time as specified in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.4</u>.

Section 4.5 <u>Insurance Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, with respect to any Losses, damages and Liabilities incurred by any member of the RemainCo Group prior to the Distribution Effective Time, SpinCo will provide RemainCo with access to, and RemainCo may, upon ten (10) business days' prior written notice to SpinCo, make claims under, the Company's historical policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the RemainCo Group prior to the Distribution Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) RemainCo shall report any claim in writing to SpinCo, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made and managed by SpinCo in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement and SpinCo's claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Distribution Effective Time communicated by the Company to SpinCo in writing);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) RemainCo and the members of the RemainCo Group shall solely bear and be liable for (and neither SpinCo nor any members of the SpinCo Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group for), and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group for, any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees and expenses to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by SpinCo or any other members of the RemainCo Group under any insurance provided pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>4.5(a)</u>, including any indemnification payments under <u>Article V</u>, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by members of the RemainCo Group, its employees or Third Parties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) RemainCo shall solely bear and be liable for (and neither the Company nor any members of the SpinCo Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group for) all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group under the policies as provided for in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.5(a)</u>. In the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the Losses of such Group submitted to SpinCo's insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Distribution Effective Time). To the extent that the SpinCo Group or the RemainCo Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of Losses submitted to SpinCo's insurance carrier(s), the other Party shall promptly pay the first Party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, SpinCo may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that, at any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time, SpinCo elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to RemainCo, and RemainCo may direct SpinCo in writing to, and SpinCo shall, in such case, reinstate the policy aggregate; <u>provided</u> that RemainCo shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>4.5(a)</u>, from and after the Distribution Effective Time, neither RemainCo nor any member of the RemainCo Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group. At the Distribution Effective Time, RemainCo shall, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of SpinCo, have in effect all insurance programs obligations required to comply with RemainCo's contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to RemainCo's. Such insurance programs may include but are not limited to general liability, commercial auto liability, worker's compensation, employer's liability, product/completed operations liability, pollution legal liability, surety bonds, professional services liability, property, cargo, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors' and officers' liability, fiduciary liability and cyber liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Neither RemainCo nor any member of the RemainCo Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>4.5</u>, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under the applicable insurance policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All payments and reimbursements by RemainCo pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>4.5</u> will be made within thirty (30) days after RemainCo's receipt of an invoice therefor from SpinCo. If SpinCo incurs costs to enforce RemainCo's obligations herein, RemainCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo for such enforcement costs, including reasonable, documented attorneys' fees. SpinCo shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any RemainCo Liabilities and/or claims RemainCo has made or could make in the future, and no member of the RemainCo Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with SpinCo's insurers with respect to any of SpinCo's insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. RemainCo shall cooperate with SpinCo and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit SpinCo to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate, including with respect to (i) any claims made pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>4.5(a)</u> and the management thereof, (ii) any policy premium adjustments with respect to the Company's historical policies of insurance, in each case to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the RemainCo Group prior to the Distribution Effective Time, and (iii) the release of any and all Company surety bonding obligations to the extent related to any such insurance policies described in clause (ii). Neither SpinCo nor any of the members of the SpinCo Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Liability policies of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the RemainCo Group incurred prior to the Distribution Effective Time.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a Contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the SpinCo Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other Contract or policy of insurance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) RemainCo does hereby, for itself and each other member of the RemainCo Group, agree that no member of the SpinCo Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and SpinCo, as applicable, may assign the license granted in <u>Section</u> <u>4.6(a)</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>4.6(b)</u>, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of, or any portion of the assets of the Business of the Company or SpinCo, as applicable, and its Affiliates to which the license relates.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Party will ensure, and will cause each member of its Group to ensure (i) that the Shared IP to which it is granted a license under this Agreement is maintained as the licensor Party's Confidential Information under this Agreement (subject to any applicable exceptions in the definition of "Confidential Information") and (ii) that any Shared IP that is a Trade Secret or Know-How is not disclosed by such Party, any member of its Group or their employees to any Person other than a permitted sublicensee of such Shared IP under this Agreement or as required under applicable Law. In addition, and without limiting anything in <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u>, each Party will ensure, and will cause each member of its Group to ensure, that any Person who receives disclosure of a Trade Secret or Know-How is contractually obligated to continue to maintain the status of such Trade Secret or Know-How under applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The licenses granted in <u>Section</u> <u>4.6(a)</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>4.6(b)</u>, are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" (as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code), and each of the Company and SpinCo may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any similar foreign applicable Law) with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section</u> <u>4.6</u> shall survive in perpetuity.

Section 4.8 <u>Vanda License Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) RemainCo shall cooperate with SpinCo to request that Vanda (i) remit all Vanda Milestones directly to SpinCo (and not RemainCo) or its designee and (ii) permit SpinCo to enforce the obligation to pay Vanda Milestones against Vanda. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon RemainCo's receipt of any Vanda Milestones, RemainCo shall (i) promptly provide notice to SpinCo of its receipt of such Vanda Milestones, (ii) remit all received Vanda Milestones to SpinCo or its designee within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, (iii) maintain accurate books and records reasonably necessary to continuously track and account for which amounts received under the Vanda License Agreement constitute Vanda Milestones and which amounts constitute all other payments, and shall make such books and records available to SpinCo for inspection upon SpinCo's reasonable request, and (iv) to the extent applicable, promptly segregate all received Vanda Milestones into a separate account or sweep such amounts from any account in which all other payments received under the Vanda License Agreement are deposited upon SpinCo's prior written request in its sole discretion. From and after the Distribution Date, RemainCo shall diligently enforce its rights and Vanda's obligations under the Vanda License Agreement, including with respect to any breach of Vanda's diligence obligations under Section 3.2.3 of the Vanda License Agreement and any payment obligations with respect to the Vanda Milestones. RemainCo and SpinCo shall consult with each other with a view to determining the appropriate course of action to take with respect to any enforcement actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) SpinCo shall have the right to reasonably request information from RemainCo regarding the status of the Vanda License Agreement and the conduct of activities thereunder and RemainCo shall promptly respond to any such request (including, to the extent necessary to comply with any such information requests, exercising its information access and audit rights under the Vanda License Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) From and after the Distribution Date, neither RemainCo nor any of its Affiliates shall, without SpinCo's prior written consent: (i) terminate the Vanda License Agreement or (ii) commit any acts or omit to take any acts that would, with the passage of time or otherwise, cause the breach or termination of the Vanda License Agreement or otherwise diminish or adversely affect Vanda's obligation to pay the Vanda Milestones, including by failing to fulfill any of its obligations under the Vanda License Agreement or amending or permitting to be amended, the Vanda License Agreement or waiving or permitting to be waived any rights thereunder in a manner that would conflict with or adversely affect the right to receive the Vanda Milestones, decrease the likelihood of the events giving rise to the Vanda Milestones being achieved or payable or lessen the amount of the Vanda Milestones. RemainCo shall promptly provide SpinCo with written notice of any alleged, threatened, or actual breach of the Vanda License Agreement, whether by RemainCo or Vanda, and RemainCo and SpinCo shall consult with each other with a view to determining the appropriate course of action to take with respect to the applicable alleged, threatened or actual breach.

RemainCo shall ensure that any successor or assignee of RemainCo to the Vanda License Agreement expressly assumes in writing (with a copy of the agreement provided to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns)) the covenants set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.8</u>. All obligations set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.8</u> shall expire upon SpinCo's receipt of the last Vanda Milestone under the Vanda License Agreement.

Section 4.9 <u>Backup Security Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As collateral security for the payment or performance when due, as the case may be, in full of RemainCo's obligations to remit any Vanda Milestones to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>4.8</u>, RemainCo hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns), and hereby grants to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns), a security interest in and continuing lien on all of RemainCo's right, title and interest in, to and under the following, in each case, as to each type of property described below, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by RemainCo, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the "<u>Vanda Milestones Collateral</u>"): (i) any and all Vanda Milestones and any and all rights, claims, causes of action, and entitlements to receive the Vanda Milestones, including all contract rights under any agreement (including, without limitation, the Vanda License Agreement) pursuant to which the Vanda Milestones arise or may become payable; (ii) all cash and cash equivalents constituting or derived from any Vanda Milestones; (iii) any account or deposit account into which any Vanda Milestones are deposited; (iv) all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to, any and all of the Vanda Milestones Collateral; and (v) to the extent not otherwise included, any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the Vanda Milestones Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) RemainCo agrees that from time to time, at the expense of RemainCo, RemainCo will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all instruments and documents, and take all reasonable actions that SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) may request, in order to grant, preserve, perfect and/or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted by RemainCo in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.9</u> or to enable SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.9</u> with respect to any Vanda Milestones Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, RemainCo shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any and all Vanda Milestones to be deposited into a segregated deposit account reasonably acceptable to SpinCo (the "<u>Vanda Milestones Collateral Account</u>") and (ii) upon the request of SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns), in its sole discretion, promptly with respect to any Vanda Milestones Collateral: (x) execute or authenticate and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be reasonably necessary, in order to perfect and preserve the perfected security interest granted or purported to be granted by RemainCo in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.9</u> and (y) execute and deliver to SpinCo (and its successors and

------

permitted assigns) a springing deposit account control agreement with SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) and the depository bank with respect to the Vanda Milestones Collateral Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns), pursuant to which SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) shall have control over the Vanda Milestones Collateral Account for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) RemainCo hereby authorizes SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including, without limitation, one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover the Vanda Milestones Collateral (or words of similar effect), in each case without the signature of RemainCo, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Vanda Milestones Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Upon any failure by RemainCo to remit Vanda Milestones to SpinCo in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>4.8</u>, (i) SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) may exercise in respect of the Vanda Milestones Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Vanda Milestones Collateral), and (ii) all payments received by RemainCo in respect of the Vanda Milestones Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.8</u>, shall be segregated from other funds of RemainCo and shall be forthwith paid over to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns) in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligations will be binding upon RemainCo's successors and assigns of the Vanda License Agreement. RemainCo shall ensure that any successor or assignee of RemainCo to the Vanda License Agreement expressly assumes in writing (with a copy of the agreement provided to SpinCo (and its successors and permitted assigns)) the covenants set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.9</u>. All obligations set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>4.9</u> shall expire upon SpinCo's receipt of the last Vanda Milestone under the Vanda License Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Nothing contained in <u>Section</u> <u>5.1(a)</u> shall release the Company from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of SpinCo who was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Distribution Effective Time to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Proceeding with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to then-existing obligations; it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Proceeding is a SpinCo Liability, SpinCo shall indemnify the Company for such Liability (including the Company's costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this <u>Article V</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Party shall not, and shall not permit any member of its Group to, make any claim, demand or offset, or commence any Proceeding asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against the other Party or any member of the other Party's Group, or any other Person released pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.1(a)</u>, with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.1(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) It is the intent of each Party, by virtue of, and in accordance with, the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>5.1</u>, to provide, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Distribution Effective Time, whether known or unknown, between or among either Party (and/or a member of such Party's Group), on the one hand, and the other Party (and/or a member of such other Party's Group), on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members at or before the Distribution Effective Time), except as specifically set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>5.1</u>.

Section 5.4 <u>Claims</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a claim or demand is made by a Third Party (a "<u>Third Party Claim</u>") against a SpinCo Indemnitee or a RemainCo Indemnitee (each, an "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") as to which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Party which is or may be required pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.2</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>5.3</u> to make such indemnification (the "<u>Indemnifying Party</u>") in writing, and in reasonable detail (a "<u>Claim Notice</u>"). The Claim Notice shall be given promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the facts indicating that a claim for indemnification may be warranted and shall state in reasonable detail (to the extent known) the nature and amount of the claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly deliver a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this <u>Article V</u>, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by the failure to give such Claim Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a Claim Notice relates to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, through counsel of its own choosing and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u> that the Indemnified Party shall be (i) entitled to participate in any such defense with counsel of its own choice at its own expense and (ii) entitled to participate in any such defense with counsel of its own choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if representation of both Parties by the same counsel creates a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense and investigation of a Third Party Claim if (x) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that such assumption and investigation would have an adverse effect on Indemnified Party's relationship with a Governmental Authority or a material supplier, customer or subcontractor and (y) such assumption and investigation would not, in the Indemnifying Party's reasonable determination, have an adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party's relationship with a Governmental Authority or a material supplier, customer or subcontractor. In any event, if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receiving a Claim Notice with respect to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the fees and expenses of its attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in this <u>Article V</u>. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding) or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not, to the extent that an Indemnified Party may have any Liability with respect to such Proceeding, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or (iii) in any manner that involves any injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party or that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle any pending or threatened Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the sole relief granted is equitable relief for which the Indemnifying Party would have no Liability or to which the Indemnifying Party would not be subject.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim; (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party's Representatives to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim; and (iii) disclose (at its own expense) to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except in the case of intentional fraud and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies under this <u>Article V</u> are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that any Party may have against any other Party or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. Each Party expressly waives any and all other rights, remedies and causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against the other Party, or their respective Affiliates, respectively, now or in the future under any Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The remedies expressly provided in this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive basis for and means of recourse between the Parties with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.5 <u>Limitation of Liability</u><u>;</u> <u>Mitigation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No Party may obtain duplicative indemnification or other recovery for Losses and recoveries under one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement or under any other Contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available to mitigate and minimize any Losses in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this <u>Article V</u> promptly upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to such Losses; <u>provided</u> that such efforts in respect of Taxes shall not be required to the extent such efforts give rise to a greater than *de minimis* cost to the Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any indemnity payment made by a Party to the other Party pursuant to this <u>Article V</u> in respect of a Loss shall be net of an amount equal to (i) any insurance proceeds actually received and any other amounts actually recovered from Third Parties (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance, reductions in cash Tax or otherwise) by the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate in respect of such claim, less (ii) any related costs and expenses of such receipt or recovery, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any Taxes. If the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent

to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliate, net of expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any Third Party insurance proceeds or other indemnification, contribution or similar payments to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article V; provided that the Indemnified Party's ability or inability to collect or recover any such insurance proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party's obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The amount of any claim by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (i) shall be reduced to reflect any actual cash Tax savings or insurance proceeds received by any Indemnified Party that result from the Losses that gave rise to such indemnity and (ii) shall be increased by an amount equal to any cash Tax cost incurred by any Indemnified Party that results from receipt of payments under this <u>Article V</u>.

Section 5.6 <u>Tax Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and SpinCo each hereby agree, any transfer, excise, sales, use, value added, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation taxes and other similar Taxes, fees and charges (including real property transfer taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, together with any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto ("<u>Transfer Taxes</u>") shall be borne solely by the Company. The Parties agree to cooperate to minimize or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. The Party legally required to do so shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any Transfer Taxes and pay any such Transfer Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority, and the other Parties shall cooperate in connection with the filing of such Tax Returns.

Unless otherwise required by Law, such Company Prepared Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns and the Intended Tax Treatment. To the extent any Company Prepared Return is reasonably expected to result in SpinCo becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.6(b)</u>, the Company shall submit each such Company Prepared Return to SpinCo at least thirty (30) days (or, in the case of any such Tax Return due within thirty (30) days of the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions of the time to file) for SpinCo's review, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments proposed by SpinCo. The Parties shall file all their Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any position to the contrary unless required by the applicable Governmental Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) SpinCo shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns for the Pre-Distribution Tax Period that relate solely to SpinCo Indemnified Taxes (such Tax Returns, "<u>SpinCo Prepared Returns</u>").

To the extent any SpinCo Prepared Return is reasonably expected to result in the Company becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.6(b)</u>, SpinCo shall submit each such SpinCo Prepared Return to the Company at least thirty (30) days (or, in the case of any such Tax Return due within thirty (30) days of the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions of the time to file) for the Company's review, and SpinCo shall consider in good faith any comments proposed by the Company. The Parties shall file all their Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any position to the contrary unless required by the applicable Governmental Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Parties (together with such Parties' respective Affiliates) shall not take any position on any Tax Return or in connection with any Tax Claim with respect to any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment of the Distribution unless and until there has been a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law) ("<u>Final Determination</u>") or otherwise required by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) A Party or its Subsidiary that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period shall be permitted to prepare and file an amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Parties and their Affiliates and shall not take any position that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment of the Distribution unless otherwise modified by a Final Determination or otherwise required by a change in applicable Law; and (ii) if such amended Tax Return is reasonably expected to result in the other Party becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes shown thereon or pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>5.6</u>, such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the prior written consent of such other Party is obtained, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Party shall be entitled to refunds (including any similar credit or offset of Taxes) that relate to Taxes for which it is liable hereunder in accordance with this <u>Section</u> <u>5.6</u> or for which the Party is otherwise responsible, net of any reduction for reasonable costs and additional Taxes in connection thereto.

Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from any Governmental Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company will have the right to control, at its own expense, any Tax Claim that relates to a Company Prepared Return (a "<u>Company Controlled Claim</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that to the extent such Company Controlled Claim that could reasonably be expected to result in SpinCo becoming responsible for a payment pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5.6(b)</u>, the Company shall (i) keep SpinCo reasonably informed of material developments with respect to such Company Controlled Claim, (ii) consult with SpinCo before taking any significant or material action in connection with such Company Controlled Claim and (iii) to the extent such Company Controlled Claim is reasonably expected to give rise to Taxes of SpinCo, its Subsidiaries, or their Affiliates that are not Company Indemnified Taxes, not settle, compromise or abandon any such Company Controlled Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of SpinCo (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.8 <u>Section 336(e) Election</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At its election, the Company shall make (or cause any of its Affiliates to make) a timely and irrevocable election under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any similar provision of applicable state or local income Tax Law) pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h) with respect to the Distribution pursuant hereto in accordance with Section 336(e) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (the "<u>Section</u> <u>336(e) Election</u>"), including, for the avoidance of doubt, by duly executing and filing (i) a properly completed "Section 336(e) election statement" as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(5), which election statement shall contain the contents provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(6) (the "<u>Section</u> <u>336(e) Election Statement</u>") and (ii) a written, binding agreement, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h), by and among the Company and SpinCo (as applicable) reflecting a binding obligation to make the Section 336(e) Election (such agreement, a "<u>Section</u> <u>336(e) Written Binding Agreement</u>"). The Company and SpinCo hereby agree to be bound by the Section 336(e) Election and shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to): (a) take all necessary actions to effectuate the Section 336(e) Election, (b) act in accordance with the Section 336(e) Election for all applicable Tax purposes (including in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns), (c) not take, or cause to be taken, any action or position inconsistent with the Section 336(e) Election unless required to do so pursuant to a Final Determination, and (d) duly and timely file all income Tax Returns and any other forms, attachments and schedules necessary to effectuate the Section 336(e) Election (including IRS Form 8883 and any similar forms under applicable state and local income Tax laws).

If within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, the Company agrees in writing to such Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, then the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Company, SpinCo and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax

------

Returns in a manner consistent with such agreed Section 336(e) Allocation Statement. In the event the Company objects in writing to the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement within such thirty (30) day period ("<u>Objection Notice</u>"), SpinCo and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If, after a period of thirty (30) days following the Company's submission of an Objection Notice to SpinCo, any proposed changes set forth in the Objection Notice remain disputed, all such disputes shall be submitted as promptly as practical to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to SpinCo and the Company (the "<u>Accounting Expert</u>") for resolution, together with such supporting documentation and information as the Parties deem appropriate (it being agreed that the Parties will make their respective submissions contemporaneously on a date and in a manner directed by the Accounting Expert, and with a copy sent simultaneously and in the same manner to the other Party). The Accounting Expert shall act solely as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator. The Accounting Expert (i) shall be bound by the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the allocation principles set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>5.8</u>, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either SpinCo or the Company, and (iii) shall consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice and the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, including each of the components thereof, that are identified as being items and amounts to which SpinCo and the Company have been unable to agree. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Expert will be allocated to and borne in inverse proportion to the relative extent to which SpinCo, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, prevail on the disagreements resolved by the Accounting Expert. The Accounting Expert shall finally and conclusively resolve any dispute relating to matters set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>5.8(b)</u> within thirty (30) days following receipt of the submission. Such determination of the Accounting Expert shall, absent fraud or manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of the Accounting Expert to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not render the determination of the Accounting Expert invalid and shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Expert. Promptly upon receiving the final and binding Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, SpinCo and the Company shall return an executed copy thereof to the other Party. SpinCo, the Company and their respective Affiliates will not take any position, whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise, that is inconsistent with any such final and binding Section 336(e) Allocation Statement unless required to by a Final Determination or otherwise required by applicable Law.

In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party who is (or whose Group's member is) required to make such disclosure shall or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to furnish (at the expense of the Party seeking to limit such request, demand or disclosure requirement), or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded to such Confidential Information (at the expense of the Party seeking (or whose Group's member is seeking) to limit such request, demand or disclosure requirement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of SpinCo and the Company acknowledges, on behalf of itself and each other member of its Group, that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of Third Parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements or policies with each such Third Party while such Party and/or members of its Group were Subsidiaries of the Company prior to the Distribution Date. Each of SpinCo and the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, hold and cause its and their respective Representatives (or potential buyers) to hold, in strict

------

confidence the confidential and proprietary information of Third Parties to which they or any other member of their respective Groups has access, in accordance with the terms of any policies or agreements entered into prior to the Distribution Date between one or more members of the SpinCo Group and/or the RemainCo Group (whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the separated Businesses) and such Third Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to any Personal Information or Protected Health Information disclosed by a Party pursuant to this Agreement, each Party agrees to comply with all applicable Privacy Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u>, the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by <u>Section</u> <u>6.6</u>. For clarity, to the extent that any Contract or policy to which a Party is bound or its Confidential Information is subject provides that certain Confidential Information shall be maintained confidential on a basis that is more protective of such Confidential Information or for a longer period of time than provided for in this <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u>, then the applicable provisions contained in such Contract or policy shall control with respect thereto.

Section 6.6 <u>Privileged Matters</u>. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Date have been and will be rendered for the benefit of each of the members of the RemainCo Group and the members of the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the RemainCo Group and each of the members of the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law. To allocate the interests of each Party in the information as to which any Party is entitled to assert a privilege, the Parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information that relates primarily to the Royalty Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which SpinCo is required to provide indemnification under <u>Article V</u>), whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of the Company or SpinCo. The Company shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, immunities or other protections in connection with any Privileged Information that relates primarily to the subject matter of any claims constituting RemainCo Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under <u>Article V,</u> now pending or which may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information which relates primarily to the SpinCo Business (other than with respect to matters or claims that are RemainCo Liabilities or other Liabilities as to which the Company is required to provide indemnification under <u>Article V</u>), whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of the Company or SpinCo. SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, immunities or other protections in connection with any Privileged Information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SpinCo Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under <u>Article V</u>, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Proceedings initiated against or by SpinCo, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of SpinCo or under the control of any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this <u>Section</u> <u>6.6</u>, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of <u>Section</u> <u>6.6(a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No Party may waive any privilege which may be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Third Party Claims or as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>6.6(e)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, or any members of the respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the members of the respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or any members of the respective Groups regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate in good faith, (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for a waiver by the other Party. Each Party hereto specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to a waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Upon receipt by any member of the respective Groups of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any member of its Group's current or former Representatives have received any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this <u>Section</u> <u>6.6</u> or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The transfer of all Records and other information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreements of the Company and SpinCo, as set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>6.2</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.3</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.4</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.5</u> and this <u>Section</u> <u>6.6</u>, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The access to information being granted pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>6.1</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.2</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.3</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>6.4</u> hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>6.2</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>6.4</u> hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by <u>Section</u> <u>6.4</u> hereof, and the transfer of Privileged Information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each of the Parties acknowledge that Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP ("<u>Prior Company Counsel</u>") have, on or prior to the Distribution Effective Time, represented one or more of the Parties and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees and directors (each such Person, other than the RemainCo Group, a "<u>Designated Person</u>") in one or more matters relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) (each, an "<u>Existing Representation</u>"), and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters (x) relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) and (y) in which the Company or any of its Affiliates (including the RemainCo Group), on the one hand, and one or more Designated Persons, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a "<u>Post-Closing Matter</u>"), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Company Counsel will represent them in connection with such matters. Accordingly, the Company hereby (i) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Distribution Effective Time to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more Prior Company Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the "<u>Post-Closing Representation</u>") and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to the Company or any of its Affiliates (including the RemainCo Group), and even though Prior Company Counsel may (A) have represented the RemainCo Group in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (B) be currently representing the RemainCo Group. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by Prior Company Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information substantially related to such Post-Closing Representations learned by Prior Company Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of the RemainCo Group or Prior Company Counsel's duty of confidentiality as to the RemainCo Group and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Distribution Effective Time.

Section 6.7 <u>Ownership of Information</u>. Any information owned by one Party or any member of its Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to <u>Article V</u> or this <u>Article VI</u> shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party (or member of its Group). Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights to any Party (or member of its Group) of license or otherwise in any such information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 6.8 <u>Cost of Providing Records and Information</u>. A Party requesting Records, information or access to personnel, witnesses or properties, under <u>Article V</u> or this <u>Article VI</u>, agrees to reimburse the other Party (or member of such Party's Group), upon the presentation of invoices therefor, for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party (or its Group or any of its or their respective then- Affiliates) or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees' employer regardless of the employees' service with respect to the foregoing), if any, incurred in seeking to satisfy the request of the requesting Party (or member of such Party's Group).

------

Section 6.9 <u>Retention of Records</u>. Except (a) as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>6.3</u>, (b) when a longer retention period is otherwise required by applicable Law or (c) as agreed to in writing by the Parties, the RemainCo Group and the SpinCo Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Records relating to the Royalty Business and the SpinCo Business, as applicable, in accordance with its respective regular records retention policies and procedures, until the latest of: (i) the maximum amount of time required under each Parties' respective records retention policies and procedures, (ii) the date on which such Records are no longer required to be retained pursuant to any "litigation hold" issued by the Company or any member of the RemainCo Group prior to the Distribution and communicated to SpinCo in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Distribution, (iii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iv) with respect to any pending or threatened Proceeding arising after the Distribution Date, to the extent that any member of a Group in possession of such Records has been notified in writing pursuant to a "litigation hold" by any Party of such pending or threatened Proceeding, the concluding date of any such "litigation hold," and (v) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Records would reasonably be expected to interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Authority which is known to any member of the Group in possession of such Records at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Records would otherwise expire. Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group (and any of their respective then-Affiliates) to use commercially reasonable efforts (at the requesting Party's sole cost and expense) to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Records without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the requesting Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, commercially reasonable efforts shall include issuing a "litigation hold").

Section 6.10 <u>Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information</u>. The rights and obligations granted under this <u>Article VI</u> are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications and additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Confidential Information set forth in this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and in any other agreement to which a member of the RemainCo Group and a member of the SpinCo Group is a party.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that SpinCo's efforts shall be successful or that RemainCo shall be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all and, where SpinCo enjoys rights under any enterprise, site or similar license grant, the Parties acknowledge that such license may preclude partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to find a reasonable alternative to such Services for which such Required Consent cannot be obtained, and SpinCo shall use good faith efforts to supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter the Services to provide such Services without such Required Consent in a manner that maintains, as much as possible, the full intended benefit of such Service to the RemainCo Entities and their Affiliates.

**Section 3.02.** <u>Intellectual Property</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** As between the Parties, subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement and this Agreement, any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by one Party or any of its Affiliates that is provided to the other Party or any of such other Party's Affiliates or third-party providers or third-party vendors pursuant to this Agreement shall remain the property of the Party providing such Intellectual Property or Services, or the Affiliate of such Party that provides the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** Subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement and this Agreement, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants, and shall cause its permitted subcontractors to grant, to the other Party and its Affiliates, a limited, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, non-sublicensable (except to third-parties solely to the extent required for the receipt or provision, as the case may be, of any Service), non-exclusive, non-transferable license, solely for the duration of any applicable Service, to use the Intellectual Property owned by such Party or any of its Affiliates, solely to the extent necessary for, as the case may be, SpinCo to provide the Services and the relevant Recipient to receive and use the Services. Except as expressly identified in this <u>Section</u> <u>3.02</u>, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant either Party or its Affiliates, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license rights, ownership rights or other rights in any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to the other Party (or any Affiliate or permitted subcontractor of the other Party).

------

**Section 3.03.** <u>Local Implementing Agreements</u>. The Parties each recognize and agree that there may be a need to document the Services provided hereunder in various jurisdictions outside of the United States from time to time. The Parties shall enter into, or cause their respective Affiliates to enter into, local implementing agreements (each a "<u>Local Implementing Agreement</u>") for Services in such jurisdictions, countries or geographical regions as a Party may reasonably request from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, should there be any conflict between any term or condition of a Local Implementing Agreement and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. The Parties agree to cooperate in implementing any such Local Implementing Agreement in a manner that does not subject SpinCo to income taxes in a jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions under the Laws of which such SpinCo is organized or is, before the implementation of such Local Implementing Agreement, a tax resident.

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

**Section 5.01.** <u>Costs and Disbursements</u>. 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Schedules, RemainCo shall pay to SpinCo or its designee as specified in writing by the SpinCo Services Manager a monthly fee (and any additional premium as agreed to by and between the Parties) for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) as provided for in the relevant Schedule or as calculated using the cost basis methodology provided for in the relevant Schedule, as applicable (each fee constituting a "<u>Service Charge</u>" and, collectively, "<u>Service Charges</u>"). For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to any such Service Charges, RemainCo shall also reimburse SpinCo for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred and documented by SpinCo in the provision of such Services at cost. During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) shall not increase except as a result of (i) an increase in the scope or volume of such Services being provided to RemainCo (as compared to the amount of the Services underlying the determination of a Service Charge) that is (and to the extent) requested in writing by RemainCo, (ii) an increase in the rates or charges imposed by SpinCo's service providers or any other third-party provider that is providing goods or services used in providing the Services (as compared to the rates or charges underlying a Service Charge), (iii) subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>5.04(c)</u>, an increase in the ordinary course of payroll (*e.g.*, base salary or wage rate, annual target cash bonus opportunity) or employee benefits (*e.g.*, insurance premiums, vendor costs) for any employees used, or number of employees or contractors used, by SpinCo in providing the Services ("<u>Service Employees</u>"), (iv) any increase in costs relating to any changes in the scope, quality, nature, duration or quantity of the Services provided or how the Services are provided that are (and to the extent) requested in writing by RemainCo relating to newly installed products or equipment or any upgrades to existing products or

------

equipment or (v) an increase in costs resulting from a reasonable change in the pricing methodology for a particular Service, provided that SpinCo is implementing the same change with respect to all of its businesses or divisions that utilize the Service. Upon reasonable determination by SpinCo that a basis for the increase of a Service Charge set forth in the immediately preceding sentence exists, SpinCo shall notify RemainCo in writing of the basis for such increase and the amount of such increase (with supporting documentation, subject to any obligations of confidentiality to which SpinCo is subject, it being agreed that SpinCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any waivers or consents necessary to disclose such Confidential Information to RemainCo, as long as RemainCo agrees to keep such information confidential on customary terms), and the appropriate Schedule shall be amended to reflect such increased Service Charge and such increased Service Charge shall thereafter, from the beginning of the immediately following month, be deemed to be the Service Charge for the relevant Service hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, increases in Service Charges may result from more than one of the causes set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of the second sentence of this <u>Section</u> <u>5.01(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) shall be decreased to the extent that there is an evidenced decrease after the date hereof in the costs actually incurred by SpinCo in providing such Services as a result of (i) a decrease in the scope or volume of such Services being provided to the relevant Recipient (as compared to the amount of the Services underlying the determination of a Service Charge) that is (and to the extent) requested (in writing) by RemainCo, (ii) a decrease in the rates or charges imposed by SpinCo's service provider or other third-party provider that is providing goods or services used by SpinCo in providing the Services (as compared to the rates or charges underlying a Service Charge), (iii) a decrease in the payroll or benefits for any Service Employee, (iv) any decrease in costs relating to any changes in the scope, quality, nature, duration or quantity of the Services provided or how the Services are provided that are (and to the extent) requested in writing by RemainCo (including relating to newly installed products or equipment or any upgrades to existing products or equipment), or (v) a decrease in costs resulting from a reasonable change in the pricing methodology for a particular Service, provided that SpinCo is implementing the same change with respect to all of its businesses or divisions that utilize the Service; <u>provided</u>, that SpinCo shall reasonably notify RemainCo of any decrease in the amount of any Service Charge as set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), and the appropriate Schedule shall be amended to reflect such decreased Service Charge and such decreased Service Charge shall thereafter, from the beginning of the immediately following month, be deemed to be the Service Charge for the relevant Service hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** RemainCo, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right, by reasonable prior notice given to SpinCo, to retain an independent third party to audit SpinCo's and its Affiliates' books and records to confirm the Service Charges levied by SpinCo for the Services or any other amount paid or payable by RemainCo to SpinCo hereunder (i) once within the first three (3) months of the term of the Agreement, and (ii) following such audit, no more often than once every six (6) months thereafter for the duration of the term of the Agreement. Upon written request by RemainCo, SpinCo shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, within a reasonable period of time, provide, at the sole cost and expense of RemainCo, all assistance, records and access reasonably requested by RemainCo in responding to such audit, solely to the extent it relates to Service Charges for the Services provided hereunder <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (a) notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall not be required to provide RemainCo and its representatives such access to the extent it, in the SpinCo's reasonable discretion, would reasonably be expected to waive any

------

applicable privileges (including attorney client privilege), breach contractual confidentiality obligations or violate any applicable Law; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access in a manner that would not waive such privilege, breach such obligations or violate such Law, or would otherwise permit such access in a manner that would remove such objection, and (b) such access, inquiry or request shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of SpinCo.

**Section 5.02.** <u>No Right to Set-Off</u>. RemainCo shall pay the full amount of Service Charges, Termination Charges (to the extent applicable) and shall not set off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed (or to become due and owing) to SpinCo under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed (or to become due and owing) by SpinCo or any of its Affiliates to RemainCo or any of its Affiliates that has not been finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

**Section 5.03.** <u>Tax Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** <u>Services Taxes</u>. RemainCo shall bear any and all sales, use, excise, value added, indirect, goods and services and other similar Taxes (and any related interest and penalties) imposed on, or payable with respect to, any Service Charges payable by RemainCo pursuant to this Agreement (such Taxes, the "<u>Service Taxes</u>"). For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section</u> <u>5.03(a)</u> shall not apply to, and RemainCo and SpinCo each shall pay and be responsible for, all Taxes based on their respective income, profits or assets, employment Taxes and all other Taxes not described in the previous sentence that are imposed on each of them or their respective Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** <u>Withholding Tax or Other Similar Taxes</u>. RemainCo (and its applicable Affiliates) shall have the right to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payments made under this Agreement as required by applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority (including any Taxing Authority) on a timely basis in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Party to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** <u>Minimization and Recovery of Taxes</u>. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) minimize the amount of Service Taxes or amounts required to be withheld or deducted under applicable Law by RemainCo under <u>Section</u> <u>5.03(b)</u> and (ii) claim any available refunds or credits of (A) Service Taxes or (B) amounts withheld under applicable Law by RemainCo. SpinCo shall promptly pay (or cause to be paid) to RemainCo any such amounts recovered by SpinCo or its Affiliates pursuant to and described in clause (ii)(A) of the previous sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** <u>Cooperation</u>. RemainCo and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to minimize the imposition of, and the amount of, any taxes described in <u>Section</u> <u>5.03</u> (including through the provision of any relevant forms or other documents). SpinCo shall keep RemainCo reasonably informed with respect to (i) the reporting of Services Taxes, (ii) any audit relating to Services Taxes, or (iii) any assessment, refund, claim or legal proceeding relating to Services Taxes, including, in each instance, providing RemainCo with such information and documentation as is reasonably necessary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon entering into this Agreement, and at any time thereafter that RemainCo reasonably requests, SpinCo shall provide RemainCo an IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or

------

any similar form reasonably requested by RemainCo under any applicable Law, in order to avail themselves of any exemptions from and to minimize any applicable withholding taxes on any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement.

**Section 5.04.** <u>Service Employees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** Except as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>5.04(b)</u>, SpinCo shall continuously employ each of the Service Employees, with the same title and job duties as were in effect for such Service Employee on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, from the Closing Date through the end of the applicable Service Period (or if earlier, the effective date of such Service Employee's voluntary resignation of employment). Except as provided in <u>Section</u> <u>5.04(c)</u>, SpinCo shall maintain for each Service Employee the same base salary (or wage rate, as applicable), annual target cash bonus opportunity and employee benefits that were in effect for such Service Employee on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, SpinCo shall not, without Cause or RemainCo's prior written consent, terminate the employment of any Service Employee prior to the end of the applicable Service Period. SpinCo shall notify RemainCo in writing promptly, and in no event more than five (5) Business Days, after a Service Employee gives notice of resignation, and shall, if reasonably practicable, notify RemainCo in writing five (5) Business Days prior to termination of a Service Employee by SpinCo for Cause. Upon RemainCo's written request that a Service Employee be removed from service, SpinCo shall, within one (1) Business Day, cause such Service Employee to cease providing any Services to RemainCo and, (i) as of the date thereof (the "<u>Service Employee End Date</u>"), such Service Employee shall cease to be a Service Employee and (ii) SpinCo shall be solely responsible for all compensation, benefits or other costs associated with such Service Employee that accrue or arise after the Service Employee End Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** SpinCo shall not, without RemainCo's prior written consent, make any change to the compensation, benefits or other terms and conditions of employment of any of the Service Employees prior to the end of the applicable Service Period, other than with respect to broad-based changes in employee benefits that are implemented by SpinCo in the ordinary course for its employees, generally.

**ARTICLE VI** 

STANDARD FOR SERVICE

**Section 6.01.** <u>Standard for Service</u>. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Schedules, SpinCo agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services such that the nature, quality, standard of care and the service levels at which such Services are performed are, in all material respects, no less than the nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which substantially the same services were performed by or on behalf of the SpinCo Assets (including personnel) as of twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date (or, if not so previously provided, then substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels as those applicable to similar services performed by or on behalf of the SpinCo Assets (including personnel) as of twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing in this Agreement shall require any SpinCo Entity to favor any RemainCo Entity's operation of its business over any SpinCo Entity's own business operation. Without limiting its obligations pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6.01</u>, SpinCo will not be obligated under this Agreement to (x) hire additional employees or, with the exception of the Service Employees, retain specific

Subject to compliance with <u>Section</u> <u>3.01</u>, in the event any Required Consent is required for SpinCo or its designees to provide any Services and such Required Consent is not obtained, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify a commercially reasonable alternative to such Services, and SpinCo shall use good faith efforts to supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter the Services to provide such Services without such Required Consent. If the Parties are unable to identify such an alternative, SpinCo and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide any such Services or to obtain replacement services therefor. SpinCo shall not be obligated to provide any Services which, if provided, would violate any third-party Contract.

**Section 6.03.** <u>Maintenance</u>. In the event that SpinCo's facilities are temporarily shut down for reasons outside of SpinCo's control, with respect to the Services dependent on the operation of such facilities or systems, SpinCo shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to provide such Services during the period that such facilities or systems are so shut down in compliance with this Agreement, but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any period of shutdown. RemainCo shall be relieved of its obligation hereunder to pay Service Charges for any Services that cannot be provided by SpinCo for the duration of such shutdown.

**Section 6.04.** <u>Modifications</u>. SpinCo may modify a Service (including, with respect to the cost (determined in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>5.01</u>), scope, timing and quality of such Service) (a) to the extent the same modification is made with respect to the entirety of SpinCo's provision of such Service to any of its Affiliates and any other Person to whom SpinCo provides such Service; or (b) if provision of such Service is prohibited or restricted by applicable Law; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, in such event, SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the business or operations of the relevant Recipient caused by such modification. SpinCo's responsibilities set forth herein shall be amended as reasonably necessary to conform to any such modifications made pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6.04</u> and each Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any such amendments. Subject to the terms in this Agreement, in providing its Services hereunder, SpinCo may use any information systems, hardware, Software, processes and procedures it deems necessary or desirable in its reasonable discretion, subject to <u>Section</u> <u>6.01</u>.

**Section 6.05.** <u>Disclaimer of Warranties</u>. Except as expressly set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>6.01</u> and subject to the limitations in <u>ARTICLE VIII</u>, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided on an as-is, where-is basis, that each Recipient assumes all risks and liability arising from or relating to its use of and reliance upon the Services and SpinCo makes no representation or warranty with respect thereto. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, SPINCO HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN REGARD TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OF THE SERVICES FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS, THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED FROM SUCH SERVICES OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE, AND EACH RECIPIENT, ON ITS BEHALF AND ON

------

BEHALF OF ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES SUCH DISCLAIMER AND RECIPIENT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THAT IT IS RELYING UPON OR HAS RELIED UPON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.

**Section 6.06.** <u>Compliance with Laws and Regulations</u>. Each Party shall be responsible for its and its Affiliates' own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its and their performance under this Agreement. No Party or its Affiliates shall take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that would reasonably be likely to result in liability being imposed on the other Party or its Affiliates, as the case may be. SpinCo shall not be obligated to provide any Service which, if provided, would violate any applicable Law.

**Section 6.07.** <u>No Professional Services</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule hereto, neither SpinCo nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective Representatives, shall be obligated to provide, or shall be deemed to be providing, any legal, compliance, or IT consulting services to RemainCo or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to this Agreement or any Schedule hereto, whether as part of or in connection with the Services provided hereunder or otherwise, except as set forth on <u>Schedule A</u>.

**Section 6.08.** <u>No Reporting Obligations</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule, except to the extent required by applicable Law or to the extent it is expressly stated in a Schedule that a filing obligation exists, neither SpinCo nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective Representatives, shall be obligated, pursuant to this Agreement or any Schedule, as part of or in connection with the Services provided hereunder, as a result of storing or maintaining any data referred to herein or in any Schedule hereto, or otherwise, to prepare or deliver any notification or report to any Governmental Authority (including any Taxing Authority) or other Person on behalf of RemainCo or any of its Affiliates, or any of its or their respective Representatives.

If such TSA Dispute has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of RemainCo and SpinCo within thirty (30) days after the initial notice of the TSA Dispute (or such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing), then, the General Counsel of SpinCo or his or her designee, on behalf of SpinCo, and an authorized representative of RemainCo shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such TSA Dispute amicably for an additional twenty (20) days (or such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing). If, at the end of such time, such Persons are unable to resolve such TSA

------

Dispute amicably, then such TSA Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>8.11</u> of the Separation Agreement; <u>provided</u> that such dispute resolution process shall not modify or add to the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** In any TSA Dispute regarding the amount of a Service Charge or Termination Charge, if after such TSA Dispute is finally adjudicated pursuant to the dispute resolution or judicial process set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>7.01(a)</u>, it is determined that the Service Charge or Termination Charge that SpinCo has invoiced RemainCo, and that RemainCo has paid to SpinCo, is greater or less than the amount that the applicable charge should have been, then (i) if it is determined that RemainCo has overpaid the Service Charge or Termination Charge, SpinCo shall, within five (5) Business Days after such determination, reimburse RemainCo an amount of cash equal to such overpayment and (ii) if it is determined that RemainCo has underpaid the Service Charge or Termination Charge, RemainCo shall within five (5) Business Days after such determination reimburse SpinCo an amount of cash equal to such underpayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** Without prejudice to any Recipient's rights with respect to a Force Majeure Event, RemainCo may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Service, in whole (by Service line item) but not in part: (i) for any reason or no reason upon providing at least thirty (30) days'

------

prior written notice to SpinCo of such termination (or such greater or smaller number of days as is provided in the Schedules) (it being understood that an early termination may result in Termination Charges being payable by RemainCo under this Agreement), or (ii) if SpinCo has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist fifteen (15) days after receipt by SpinCo of written notice of such failure from RemainCo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** SpinCo may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services, in whole (by Service line item) but not in part, at any time if a Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by RemainCo of a written notice of such failure from SpinCo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** Both Parties may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services (i) immediately upon mutual written agreement or (ii) immediately upon written notice to the other Party in the event that such other Party: (1) commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor's relief Laws or similar Laws in any other jurisdiction; (2) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (3) ceases operations or is liquidated or dissolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)** Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to one or more Services, the relevant Schedule shall be updated to reflect any terminated Service. In the event that the effective date of the termination of any Service is a day other than the last day of a Service Period, any periodic Service Charge associated with such Service shall be pro-rated appropriately.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)** RemainCo may from time to time request in writing a reduction or increase in part of the scope of any Service (it being understood that a reduction may result in Termination Charges being payable by RemainCo under this Agreement). If requested to do so by RemainCo, SpinCo agrees to discuss in good faith the potential reduction or increase in scope and any applicable reductions or increases to the Service Charges in light of all relevant factors including the costs and benefits to SpinCo of any such reductions or increases and (in the case of reductions in scope) any applicable Termination Charges. With respect to any Services that SpinCo has agreed to reduce or increase, the relevant Schedule shall be updated to reflect any such agreed upon reduction or increase in the Service in the level of service provided and the corresponding Service Charges shall be either reduced or increased, as applicable, to the extent the incremental cost to SpinCo of providing such Services is reduced or increased, as applicable, provided, and for clarity, any such increase in a Service Charge shall not be based on any increased incremental costs to SpinCo already embodied in a Termination Charge paid or payable by RemainCo hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo is not obligated to reduce or increase the scope of any Services or relevant Service Charges.

**Section 9.02.** <u>Effect of Termination of Services</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** Upon termination (for any reason other than expiration of the Service Period duration) or reduction of any Service (in whole or in part) pursuant to this Agreement, (A) RemainCo shall bear all Termination Charges, to the extent applicable, other than Termination Charges identified on <u>Schedule A</u> as SpinCo obligations, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that SpinCo shall not be under any obligation to pay any Termination Charges with respect to any termination of any Service by SpinCo pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>9.01(b)</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>9.01(d)(ii)</u> (and, for the avoidance of

------

doubt, any such Termination Charges shall be borne by RemainCo); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that SpinCo shall bear all Termination Charges with respect to any termination of any Service by RemainCo pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>9.01(c)(ii)</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>9.01(d)(ii)</u>. All Termination Charges shall be invoiced and paid as provided in <u>ARTICLE V</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, SpinCo shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and RemainCo shall have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges relating to any such Service; <u>provided</u> that RemainCo shall remain obligated to SpinCo for the (i) Service Charges and other fees, costs and expenses (if any) owed and payable under the terms of this Agreement in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination, including Service Charges that are billed in arrears, (ii) Termination Charges, only to the extent applicable, as invoiced by SpinCo to RemainCo; <u>provided</u>, that any such Termination Charges must be invoiced by SpinCo within thirty (30) days after the early termination of a Service. Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, SpinCo shall reduce for the next monthly billing period the amount of the Service Charge for the category of Services in which the terminated Service was included (such reduction to reflect the elimination of all costs incurred in connection with the terminated service to the extent the same are not required to provide other Services to RemainCo), and, upon request of RemainCo, SpinCo shall provide RemainCo with documentation or information regarding the calculation of the amount of the reduction. In connection with termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination. In connection with a termination of this Agreement, <u>ARTICLE I</u>, <u>Section</u> <u>6.05</u>, <u>ARTICLE</u> <u>VIII</u> (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable losses under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), this <u>ARTICLE</u> <u>IX</u>, <u>ARTICLE</u> <u>X</u>, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and Termination Charges (to the extent applicable) shall continue to survive indefinitely.

**Section 9.03.** <u>Force Majeure</u>. Neither Party (nor any Person acting on its behalf)<u> </u>shall be liable to the other Party for any loss as a result of any delay or failure in the performance of any obligation hereunder which is due to fire, flood, war, acts of God, strikes, riots, pandemic, Governmental Authority, or other causes beyond its reasonable control (a "<u>Force Majeure Event</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Party so affected shall notify the other Party in writing promptly upon the onset of any Force Majeure Event, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure Event to the extent reasonably practical, and notify the other Party in writing promptly upon the termination of any Force Majeure Event. In the event that SpinCo is unable to provide any Service due to a Force Majeure Event, RemainCo shall be relieved of its obligation to pay for any such Service to the extent not provided (including any Termination Charges payable by RemainCo pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); <u>provided</u> that a Force Majeure Event shall not relieve RemainCo from its payment obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Services actually performed hereunder.

**Section 9.04.** <u>Extension of Service Period</u>. Upon sixty (60) days' advance written notice prior to the expiration of the Service Period for any Service, RemainCo may request a service extension. Provided that RemainCo has been using good faith efforts to migrate off of or replace such Service prior to the end of the applicable Service Period, SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any such extension. If such a request is made, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the requested scope, duration and other terms, including applicable Service Charge, of such proposed extension. In no event shall the term (meaning the

------

initial term and extension period, including any extension periods previously permitted under this Agreement) of a particular Service exceed the maximum period permitted under any third-party agreement(s) that exist as of the date hereof and are necessary to provide or support such Service.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Anaptys Completes Separation of First Tracks Biotherapeutics and Now Exclusively** 

**Manages GSK and Vanda Financial Collaborations** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Focused on protecting and returning value of *Jemperli* and imsidolimab royalties to shareholders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launches with virtual model, including limited FTEs and minimal operating expenses, and approximately $140-$145 million in net cash

**SAN DIEGO, CA — April 20, 2026 —** AnaptysBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAB), a royalty management company, today announced the completion of its spin-off of First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc., its former biopharma operations business.

Anaptys will now exclusively manage the financial collaborations for *Jemperli* with GSK and imsidolimab with Vanda with a focus on protecting and returning the value of its royalties to shareholders.

"Anaptys begins this next chapter in a virtual business model. We are now exclusively managing royalties from our out-licensed assets, *Jemperli* and imsidolimab, with streamlined operations requiring limited FTEs, minimal operating expenses and providing a greater than 95% EBIT margin," said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer. "This structure positions us to operate without complexity and deliver maximum value to shareholders."

The taxable spin-off was completed today following the distribution to Anaptys shareholders of one share of First Tracks Bio common stock for every one share of Anaptys common stock owned as of the close of business on April 6, 2026, the record date for the distribution.

Anaptys will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ANAB". First Tracks Bio common stock will begin regular-way trading today on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "TRAX".

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to whether Anaptys is able to protect its financial collaborations; and its ability to return value to its shareholders. Statements including words such as "plan," "continue," "expect," or "ongoing" and statements in the future tense are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions, which, if they do not fully materialize or prove incorrect, could cause its results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause the company's actual activities or results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, including risks and uncertainties related to the company's ability to protect its financial collaborations and return value to its shareholders, the company's ability to operate efficiently with a limited staff, and other risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" in documents the company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and the company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

------

This press release also includes a reference to EBIT margin which is a measure not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which Anaptys believes provides important perspective with respect to operational profitability. Non-GAAP financial measures may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Anaptys' financial results, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP measures, and should be considered only as a supplement to, and not as superior to, GAAP measures. Anaptys cannot predict with certainty the magnitude or scope of certain items that would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBIT margin for the relevant future periods, and such items may be significant. Due to these uncertainties, Anaptys cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation of EBIT margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort.
