the parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the transfer of 

  

 11 

 
such Assets and such Liabilities as promptly following the Distribution Date as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the transfer
of any Assets or the assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of law cannot be transferred or assumed until such time as all legal impediments to such transfer or assumption have been removed. As and when any such Asset
becomes transferable or such Liability can be assumed, such transfer or assumption automatically and without any further action shall be effected forthwith. Subject to the foregoing, the Parties agree that each Party shall be deemed to have, as of
the Distribution Date (or such earlier time as any such Asset may have been assigned or Liability assumed), acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and
shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such party acquires or assumes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 Section 2.6 Debt Exchange; Other Financing Arrangements. 
 (a) Prior to the Distribution Date, each of Verizon and Spinco shall enter into all necessary or appropriate arrangements, and cooperate with each other,
regarding (i) the exchange by Verizon of the Spinco Exchange Debt for certain debt obligations of Verizon (the “Debt Exchange”), (ii) the entering into and borrowing under one or more loan agreements and
related agreements for the purpose of funding a portion of the Special Distribution and (iii) the entering into a revolving credit facility and related agreements for use by Spinco after the Distribution in connection with meeting its
working capital requirements (the transactions described in clauses (i)-(iii), collectively, the “Financing Transactions”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Spinco shall, as and when necessary or appropriate prior
to and after the Distribution Date, (A) provide all information reasonably requested by any underwriters or financial or other advisers engaged in connection with the Financing Transactions, (B) participate in due diligence
sessions, syndication meetings, drafting sessions, management presentations, road show presentations and meetings with ratings agencies, (C) assist in the preparation of and execute and/or deliver, customary underwriting placement,
credit, purchase, indemnification, registration rights and other definitive financing agreements and execute and deliver in a timely manner such other certificates and documents, including, without limitation, solvency certificates, comfort letters,
consents, pledge and security documents and perfection certificates, as may be reasonably required in connection with the foregoing and (D) prepare such audited and unaudited financial statements (including those required by the SEC),
offering, private placement and syndication memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, and providing such financial and other information, necessary for the consummation of such financing within the time periods required by such agreements.

  

 12 

 (b) In connection with the Contribution, (i) Spinco will distribute to Verizon an aggregate
amount of cash equal to $2.5 billion consisting of (A) proceeds from borrowings under the arrangements referred to in clause (ii) of Section 2.6(a) and (B) cash received by Spinco from IIS simultaneously with the
contribution of IIS to Spinco, which cash was received by IIS in a distribution from IMC consisting of cash on hand at IMC in excess of $100 million, and (ii) Spinco will issue the Spinco Exchange Debt to Verizon, which Verizon intends
to exchange for outstanding Verizon debt obligations. The principal amount of the Spinco Exchange Debt will be an amount as set forth on Schedule 2.6(b). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(b), the amount of borrowings set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.6(b) and the amount of indebtedness set forth in Schedule 2.6(b) are
approximations based on facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof and may be changed by Verizon prior to the Distribution Date. 
 Section 2.7 Financial Instruments. 
 (a) Spinco will, at its expense, take or cause to be taken all actions, and enter into
(or cause the Spinco Subsidiaries to enter into) such agreements and arrangements, as shall be reasonably necessary to effect the release of and substitution for each member of the Verizon Group, as of the Distribution Date, from all primary,
secondary, contingent, joint, several and other Liabilities in respect of Spinco Financial Instruments to the extent related to the Spinco Group or the Spinco Business (it being understood that all such Liabilities in respect of Spinco Financial
Instruments are Spinco Liabilities). 
 (b) Spinco’s obligations under this Section 2.7 will continue to be applicable to all
Spinco Financial Instruments identified at any time by Verizon or Spinco, whether before, at or after the Distribution Date. 
 ARTICLE III

the Agent providing for, among other things, the distribution to the holders of Verizon Common Stock in accordance with this Article III of the shares of Spinco Common Stock.

market at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of the holders who would otherwise have received the fractional shares, and deliver the net proceeds of such sales to such holders. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES 
 Section 4.1 No Representations or Warranties. Except as expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Agreement, Spinco and Verizon
understand and agree that no member of the Verizon Group is representing or warranting to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group in any way as to the Spinco Assets, the Spinco Business or the Spinco Liabilities. Except as expressly set forth
herein or in any other Transaction Agreement, Verizon and Spinco understand and agree that no member of the Spinco Group is representing or warranting to Verizon or any member of the Verizon Group in any way as to the Verizon Assets, the Verizon
Business or the Verizon Liabilities. 
 ARTICLE V 
 SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 5.1 Termination of Covenants. The covenants contained in this
Agreement that are to be performed prior to the Distribution Date shall terminate upon the Distribution, and thereafter neither Party shall have any right, claim or action of any nature whatsoever for any failure of the other Party to perform any of
such covenants. 
 Section 5.2 Mutual Release. Effective as of the Distribution Date and except as otherwise specifically set forth in
the other Transaction Agreements or on Schedule 5.2, each of Verizon, on behalf of itself and each of the Verizon Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Spinco, on behalf of itself and each of the Spinco Subsidiaries, on the other hand, hereby releases
and forever discharges the other party and its Subsidiaries, and its and 

  

 14 

 
their respective officers, directors, managers or other persons acting in a similar capacity, agents, record and beneficial security holders (including
trustees and beneficiaries of trusts holding such securities), advisors and Representatives (in each case, in their respective capacities as such) and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, of and from all debts,
demands, actions, causes of action, suits, accounts, covenants, contracts, agreements, damages, claims and other Liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, both in law and in equity, which the releasing party has or ever had or ever will have,
which exist or arise out of or relate to events, circumstances or actions taken by such other party occurring or failing to occur or any conditions existing at or prior to the Distribution Date whether or not known on the Distribution Date,
including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Contribution and the Distribution; provided, however, that the foregoing general release shall not apply to (i) any obligations to pay
for goods or services provided prior to the Distribution Date, (ii) any Liabilities or other obligations (including Liabilities with respect to payment, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution) under the other Transaction
Agreements or the Commercial Agreements or any contracts contemplated thereby, or assumed, transferred, assigned, allocated or arising under any of the other Transaction Agreements or the Commercial Agreements or any contract contemplated thereby
(including any Liability that the parties may have with respect to payment, performance, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution pursuant to any of the other Transaction Agreements or the Commercial Agreements or any contract contemplated
thereby for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons or any Indemnitee), and the foregoing release will not affect any Party’s right to enforce the other Transaction Agreements or the Commercial Agreements or the contracts
contemplated thereby in accordance with their terms or (iii) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 5.2 (provided, that the Parties agree
not to bring suit or permit any of their Subsidiaries to bring suit against any such Person with respect to any Liability to the extent such Person would be released with respect to such Liability by this Section 5.2 but for this clause (ii)).
Each of Spinco and Verizon agrees, for itself and each member of its Group, not to make any claim or demand or commence any action or assert any claim against any member of the other Party’s Group with respect to the Liabilities released
pursuant to this Section 5.2. 
 Section 5.3 Indemnification. 
 (a) Except as specifically otherwise provided in the other Transaction Agreements, Spinco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Verizon
Indemnitees from and against all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or due to (i) the failure of any member of the Spinco Group to pay or satisfy any Spinco Liabilities (including the Spinco Group’s Delayed Liabilities) or
(ii) 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, 

  

 15 

 
in each case to the extent relating to the Spinco Group, contained in the Registration Statement or any offering or information memorandum or any other
offering or marketing materials prepared in connection with the Financing Transactions, including, without limitation, the distribution, sale, resale, transfer or syndication of any of the Spinco Exchange Debt, or the obligations or agreements
related thereto. 
 (b) Except as specifically otherwise provided in the other Transaction Agreements, Verizon shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Spinco Indemnitees from and against all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or due to (i) the failure of any member of the Verizon Group to pay or satisfy any Verizon Liabilities (including the Verizon Group’s
Delayed Liabilities) or (ii) 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, in each case except to the extent relating to the Spinco Group, contained in the Registration Statement or any other offering or marketing materials prepared in connection with the Financing Transactions, including, without limitation,
the distribution, sale, resale, transfer or syndication of any of the Spinco Exchange Debt, or the obligations or agreements related thereto. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, indemnification relating to any arrangements, including those governed by the Commercial Agreements, between any member of the Verizon Group and any member of the Spinco Group
for the provision after the Distribution Date of goods and services shall be governed by the terms of such arrangements and not by this Section or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. 
 (d) Indemnification for matters subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement is governed by the terms, provisions and procedures of the Tax Sharing Agreement and
not by this Article V. 
 Section 5.4 Procedures for Indemnification for Third-Party Claims. 
 (a) Verizon shall, and shall cause the other Verizon Indemnitees to, notify Spinco in writing promptly after learning of any Third-Party Claim for which
any Verizon Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from Spinco under this Agreement. Spinco shall, and shall cause the other Spinco Indemnitees to, notify Verizon in writing promptly after learning of any Third-Party Claim for which any Spinco
Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from Verizon under this Agreement. The failure of any Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V except to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail considering the Information provided to the Indemnitee and shall indicate the amount (estimated if
necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been claimed against or may be sustained by such Indemnitee. 
  

 16 

 (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 5.3, an Indemnifying Party
may, by notice to the Indemnitee and to Verizon, if Spinco is the Indemnifying Party, or to the Indemnitee and Spinco, if Verizon is the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of such
Indemnitee’s notice of a Third-Party Claim, undertake (itself or through another member of the Group of which the Indemnifying Party is a member) the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense
and by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation and defense or settlement thereof, and the Indemnitee may not
settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, except that such Indemnifying Party shall not (i) require any Indemnitee, without its prior written consent, to take or refrain from
taking any action in connection with such Third-Party Claim, or make any public statement, which such Indemnitee reasonably considers to be against its interests, or (ii) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee and of
Verizon, if the Indemnitee is a Verizon Indemnitee, or the Indemnitee and of Spinco, if the Indemnitee is a Spinco Indemnitee, consent to any settlement that does not include as a part thereof an unconditional release of the relevant Indemnitees
from liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim or that requires the Indemnitee or any of its Representatives or Affiliates to make any payment that is not fully indemnified under this Agreement or to be subject to any non-monetary remedy.
Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control rights, as specified herein, the Indemnitees may participate in such investigation and defense, at their own expense. Following the provision of notices to the Indemnifying Party, until such time as
an Indemnifying Party has undertaken the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided herein, such Indemnitee shall control the investigation and defense or settlement thereof, without prejudice to its right to seek indemnification hereunder.

 (c) If an Indemnitee reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to
those available to its Indemnifying Party which make it inappropriate for the Indemnifying Party to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, then such Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to undertake the defense or settlement of such
Third-Party Claim; and counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such Indemnifying Party and counsel for the Indemnitee (selected by the Indemnitee) shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such Indemnitee, in
which case the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnitee (but not more than one such counsel (in addition to local counsel, if any) reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying
Party, it being understood that both such counsel shall cooperate with each other to conduct the defense or settlement of such action as efficiently as possible. 
 (d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees (in addition to local counsel and its own 

  

 17 

 
counsel, if any) in connection with any one action, or separate but similar or related actions, in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances; provided, however, (i) if the Indemnitees are individuals, (ii) the claims for which they are seeking indemnification are covered under the Indemnifying Party’s directors and officers liability policy,
and (iii) the Indemnifying Party’s insurance carrier has agreed to pay fees and expenses for multiple counsel, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay such fees and expenses. 
 (e) If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense or settlement of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party
and its counsel all information and documents reasonably available to it which relate to such Third-Party Claim, and otherwise cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, subject to
the terms and conditions of a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement. 
 Section 5.5 Reductions for Insurance Proceeds and Other
Amounts. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by (i) any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually
recovered from third parties by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in respect of the related Indemnifiable Losses (net of all costs of recovery, including deductibles, co-payments or other payment obligations) and (ii) any tax benefit
actually realized by the Indemnitee in respect of the related Indemnifiable Losses. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for insurance or against a third party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss or the availability of potential tax benefits
shall not, however, delay or reduce any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of such amount so
determined to be due and owing by it and, if, and to the extent that, there exists a claim against any third party (other than an insurer) in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnitee shall assign such claim against such third party to the
Indemnifying Party. Any tax benefit actually received by an Indemnified Party shall be paid over to the Indemnifying Party to the extent such tax benefit relates to an Indemnifiable Loss for which indemnification has already been received.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties hereto that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the
foregoing indemnification provisions or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. If an Indemnitee shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of
any Indemnifiable Losses and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds, tax benefits or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnitee shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust for the benefit of such
Indemnifying Party and shall promptly pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds, tax benefits or other amounts actually received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from such Indemnifying
Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses. 
  

 18 

 Section 5.6 Contribution. 
 (a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, any Indemnitee in respect of any Losses
for which indemnification is provided for herein, then the relevant Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the Losses for which such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
such Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (b) The relative fault of Verizon and Spinco shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission and, in the case of any Losses arising out of or due to any of the matters described in Section 5.3(a)(ii) or Section 5.3(b)(ii), whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Verizon or by Spinco. 
 (c) Verizon and Spinco agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 5.6(b). The aggregate amount of
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnitee and referred to in Section 5.3(a) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 Section 5.7 Consequential Damages. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any Indemnitee’s special, punitive, exemplary,
incidental, consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other law or otherwise. 
 Section 5.8 Joint Defense and Cooperation. With respect to any Third Party Claim in which both Verizon and Spinco are, or reasonably may be expected to be, named as parties, or that otherwise implicates both Verizon and Spinco to a
material degree, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to such Third Party Claim and maintain a joint defense in a manner that will preserve applicable privileges. 
  

 19 

 ARTICLE VI 
 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 Section 6.1 Reasonable Best Efforts. In addition to the actions
specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Commercial Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall cooperate
with the other Party, and execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person under any contract, permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument, and take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the

any such arrangements that are on terms consistent with those offered by any member of the Verizon Group or any member of the Spinco Group, as the case may be, to third parties, shall terminate as of the close of business on the day prior to the
Distribution Date. No such terminated contract, license, agreement, commitment or other arrangement (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Distribution Date and all
parties thereto shall be released from all obligations thereunder. From and after the Distribution Date, no member of either Group shall have any rights under any such contract, license, agreement, commitment or arrangement with any member of the
other Group, except as specifically provided herein or in the other Transaction Agreements or as may be agreed to at arms’ length after the Distribution Date. 
 Section 6.3 Guarantee Obligations and Liens. 
 (a) Verizon and Spinco shall cooperate, and shall
cause their respective Groups to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to: (x) terminate, or to cause a member of the Spinco Group to be substituted in all respects for any member of the Verizon Group in respect of,
all obligations of any member of the Verizon Group 

  

 20 

 
under any Spinco Liabilities for which such member of the Verizon Group may be liable, as guarantor, original tenant, primary obligor or otherwise, and
(y) terminate, or to cause Spinco Assets to be substituted in all respects for any Verizon Assets in respect of, any liens or encumbrances on Verizon Assets which are securing any Spinco Liabilities. If such a termination or substitution
is not effected by the Distribution Date: (i) Spinco shall indemnify and hold harmless the Verizon Indemnitees for any Indemnifiable Loss arising from or relating thereto and (ii) without the prior written consent of Verizon,
from and after the Distribution Date, Spinco shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group to, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party, any loan, lease, contract or other obligation

terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Verizon 
 (b) Verizon and Spinco shall cooperate, and shall
cause their respective Groups to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to: (x) terminate, or to cause a member of the Verizon Group to be substituted in all respects for any member of Spinco Group in respect of, all
obligations of any member of the Spinco Group under any Verizon Liabilities for which such member of the Spinco Group may be liable, as guarantor, original tenant, primary obligor or otherwise, and (y) terminate, or to cause Verizon
Assets to be substituted in all respects for any Spinco Assets in respect of, any liens or encumbrances on Spinco Assets which are securing any Verizon Liabilities. If such a termination or substitution is not effected by the Distribution Date:

Verizon shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Verizon Group to, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party, any loan, lease, contract or other obligation for which a member of the Spinco
Group is or may be liable or for which any Spinco Asset is or may be encumbered unless all obligations of the Spinco Group and all liens and encumbrances on any Spinco Asset with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Spinco. 
 Section 6.4 Insurance 
 (a) Rights Under Policies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date, Spinco and the Spinco
Subsidiaries will have no rights with respect to any Policies, except that (i) Spinco may assert claims, and Verizon will use its reasonable best efforts to assist Spinco in asserting claims, for any loss, liability or damage with
respect to the Spinco Assets or Spinco Liabilities under Policies with third-party insurers which are “occurrence basis” insurance policies (“Occurrence Basis Policies”) arising out of insured incidents occurring from the
date 

  

 21 

 
coverage thereunder first commenced until the Distribution Date to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Occurrence Basis Policies and
agreements relating thereto so allow and (ii) Spinco may continue to prosecute, and Verizon will use reasonable best efforts to assist Spinco to continue to prosecute, claims with respect to Spinco Assets or Spinco Liabilities properly
asserted with an insurer prior to the Distribution Date under Policies with third-party insurers under insurance policies written on a “claims made” basis (“Claims Made Policies”), providing that such claims arise out of
wrongful acts alleged to have occurred from the date coverage thereunder first commenced until the Distribution Date to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Claims Made Policies and agreements relating thereto permit Verizon to
provide such assistance to Spinco. Should Verizon provide such assistance to Spinco as contemplated above; (A) all of Verizon’s and each Verizon Subsidiary’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the foregoing must be promptly paid by Spinco, (B) Verizon and the Verizon Subsidiaries may, with thirty (30) days prior notice, without liability or obligation to Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary, amend, commute, terminate,
buy-out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any Occurrence Basis Policies or Claims Made Policies (and such claims shall be subject to any such amendments, commutations, terminations, buy-outs, extinguishments and modifications), and
(C) any such claim will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the applicable Policy.

a Spinco Subsidiary, as appropriate, will be responsible for the Claims Administration with respect to claims of Spinco and the Spinco Subsidiaries under the Policies. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 6.4 will be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the indemnity obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

 (d) This Agreement is not intended 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 Verizon Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance. 
  

 22 

 Section 6.5 Use of Names. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Transaction Agreements or the Commercial Agreements, (i) any material showing any

and after the Distribution Date, all such books, records and copies shall be the property of Verizon. The costs and expenses incurred in the provision of records or other information to a party shall be paid for by the receiving party. 

Section 7.2 Access to Information. From and after the Distribution Date until the fifth anniversary of the Distribution Date, except in the
case of an adversarial action, each of Verizon and Spinco shall afford to the other and to the other’s Representatives reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all Information within the possession or control of
such Party’s Group relating to the other Party’s Group’s pre-Distribution business, Assets or Liabilities or relating to or arising in connection with the relationship between the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date, insofar
as such access is reasonably required for audit, accounting, regulatory, claims, litigation and tax purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations and its obligations under this Agreement. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing: 
 (a) Each party hereto acknowledges that: (i) each of Verizon and Spinco (and the members of the Verizon Group and the Spinco Group, respectively) has or may obtain Privileged Information; (ii) there are and/or may be
a number of Litigation Matters affecting each or both of Verizon and Spinco; (iii) both Verizon and Spinco have a common legal interest in Litigation Matters, in the Privileged Information and in the preservation of the confidential

Date; and (iv) both Verizon and Spinco intend that the transactions contemplated hereby and the other Transaction Agreements and any transfer of Privileged Information in connection therewith shall not operate as a waiver of any
potentially applicable privilege. 
 (b) Each of Verizon and Spinco agrees, on behalf of itself and each member of the Group
of which it is a member, not to disclose or otherwise waive any privilege attaching to any Privileged Information relating to the pre-Distribution business of the other Group or relating to or arising in connection with the relationship between the
Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date, without providing prompt written notice to and obtaining the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be withheld,
conditioned or delayed if the other Party certifies that such disclosure is to be made in response to a likely threat of suspension or debarment or similar action; provided, however, that Verizon and 

  

 24 

 
Spinco shall not be required to give any such notice or obtain any such consent and may make such disclosure or waiver with respect to Privileged Information
if such Privileged Information relates solely to the pre-Distribution business of the Verizon Group in the case of Verizon or the Spinco Group in the case of Spinco. In the event of a disagreement between any member of the Verizon Group and any
member of the Spinco Group concerning the reasonableness of withholding such consent, no disclosure shall be made prior to a resolution of such disagreement by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the limitations in this sentence
shall not apply in the case of disclosure required by law and so certified as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. 
 (c) Upon any member of the Verizon Group or any member of the Spinco Group receiving any subpoena or other compulsory disclosure notice from a court, other governmental agency or otherwise which requests disclosure of Privileged
Information, in each case relating to pre-Distribution business of the Spinco Group or the Verizon Group, respectively, or relating to or arising in connection with the relationship between the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date, the
recipient of the notice shall as promptly as practicable provide to the other Group (following the notice provisions set forth herein) a copy of such notice, the intended response, and all materials or information relating to the other Group that
might be disclosed. In the event of a disagreement as to the intended response or disclosure, unless and until the disagreement is resolved as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, the Parties shall cooperate to assert all defenses to
disclosure claimed by either Party’s Group, and shall not disclose any disputed documents or information until all legal defenses and claims of privilege have been finally determined, except as otherwise required by a court order requiring such
disclosure. 
 Section 7.3 Production of Witnesses. Subject to Section 7.2, after the Distribution Date, each of Verizon and
Spinco shall, and shall cause each member of its respective Group to make available to Spinco or Verizon or any member of the Spinco Group or of the Verizon Group, as the case may be, upon reasonable prior written request, such Group’s
directors, managers or other persons acting in a similar capacity, officers, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any Litigation Matters, administrative or other
proceedings in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved and relating to the pre-Distribution business of the Verizon Group or the Spinco Group or relating to or in connection with the relationship between the Groups on or prior
to the Distribution Date. The costs and expenses incurred in the provision of such witnesses shall be paid by the Party requesting the availability of such Persons. 
  

 25 

 Section 7.4 Retention of Records. Except as otherwise agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided
in the other Transaction Agreements or in the Commercial Agreements, each of Verizon and Spinco shall, and shall cause the members of the Group of which it is a member to, retain all Information in such Party’s Group’s possession or under
its control, relating directly and primarily to the pre-Distribution business, Assets or Liabilities of the other Party’s Group in accordance with Verizon’s record retention policies, as they may be amended from time to time by Verizon in
its sole discretion. Verizon shall deliver a copy of its record retention policies to Spinco on or prior to the Distribution Date and shall promptly notify Spinco of any changes to such policies. 
 Section 7.5 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 7.2, which shall govern Privileged Information, from and after the Distribution Date, each of
Verizon and Spinco shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning the other Party’s Group obtained by it or furnished to it by such
other Party’s Group pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and shall not release or disclose such Information to any other Person, except its Affiliates and Representatives, who shall be advised of the provisions of this
Section 7.5, and each party shall be responsible for a breach by any of its Affiliates or Representatives; provided, however, that any member of the Verizon Group or the Spinco Group may disclose such Information to the extent
that (a) disclosure is compelled by judicial or administrative process or, based on advice of such Person’s counsel, by other requirements of law or regulation, or (b) such Party can show that such Information was
(i) in the public domain through no fault of such Person or (ii) lawfully acquired by such Person from another source after the time that it was furnished to such Person by the other Party’s Group, and not acquired from
such source subject to any confidentiality obligation on the part of such source known to the acquiror. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Verizon and Spinco shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 7.5 with
respect to any Information (other than Privileged Information) if it exercises the same care with regard to such Information as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar Information. 
 Section 7.6 Cooperation with Respect to Government Reports and Filings. Verizon, on behalf of itself and each member of the Verizon Group, agrees
to provide any member of the Spinco Group, and Spinco, on behalf of itself and each member of the Spinco Group, agrees to provide any member of the Verizon Group, with such cooperation and Information as may be reasonably requested by the other in
connection with the preparation or filing of any government report or other government filing contemplated by this Agreement or in conducting any other government proceeding relating to the pre-Distribution business of the Verizon Group or the
Spinco Group, Assets or Liabilities of either Group or relating to or in connection with the relationship between the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date. Such cooperation and Information shall include promptly forwarding copies of
appropriate notices, forms and other communications received from or sent to any government authority which relate to 

  

 26 

 
the Verizon Group, in the case of the Spinco Group, or the Spinco Group, in the case of the Verizon Group. Each Party shall make its employees and facilities
available during normal business hours and on reasonable prior notice to provide explanation of any documents or Information provided hereunder. 
 Section 7.7 Tax Sharing Agreement. None of the provisions of this Article VII are intended to supersede any provision in the Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to matters related to Taxes. In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement shall control with respect to matters related to Taxes.
