liability under this Section 2.02(b)(ii) with respect to or as a result of any deemed sale of Splitco Common Stock attributable to such stock being treated for Federal income tax purposes as not having been distributed to the stockholders of
Parent or any resulting failure by Parent to distribute an amount of Splitco Common Stock constituting “control” of Splitco within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code, and (B) RMT Partner and Splitco shall have no liability
under this Section 2.02(b)(ii) with respect to the failure of the Splitco Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax-Free Treatment if Splitco is the surviving entity in the Splitco Merger.

in advance of, and permit RMT Partner to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS (subject to the approval of the IRS) that relate to such Supplemental Ruling.

 SECTION 5.03 Indemnification Payments. (a) An Indemnitee shall be entitled to make a claim for payment pursuant to this Agreement when the Indemnitee determines that it is entitled to such payment and the

Indemnifying Party shall make the claimed payment to the Indemnitee within 10 days after receiving such notice, unless the Indemnifying Party reasonably disputes its liability for, or the amount of, such payment.

parties’ reasonable best efforts to make the applicable party’s current or former directors, officers, employees, agents and facilities available on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis in connection with the foregoing matters.

 (b) If a party fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Section 5.07 upon reasonable request and
notice by the other party, and such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes, the nonperforming party shall be liable in full for such additional Taxes. 
 SECTION 5.08 Confidentiality. Any information or documents provided under this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the recipient-party, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of
Tax Returns or with any Tax Contest. In addition, if Parent or Splitco determines that providing such information could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement or waive any privilege, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts
to permit compliance with the obligations under this Agreement in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 
 SECTION 5.09
Retention of Tax Records. If either Parent or Splitco intends to dispose of documentation with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period, including books, records, Tax Returns and all supporting schedules and information relating thereto (after

Splitco Group, on the other hand. If, having determined that the dispute must be referred to a Tax Advisor, after 45 days the parties are unable to find a Tax Advisor willing to adjudicate the dispute in question and whom the parties in good
faith find acceptable, then the dispute shall be submitted for arbitration to the American Arbitration Association, provided, however, that only an arbitrator that qualifies as a Tax Advisor shall be selected.

Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, a Right Certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Right Certificate”), evidencing one Right for each Common Share so

	 	h.	Section 7(a) of the Rights Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

payment of the Purchase Price for each one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share as to which the Rights are exercised, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the time which occurs immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement) of the Merger (the “Final Expiration Date”), (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof (the “Redemption Date”), or (iii) the time at which such Rights are

 “Section 34. Merger Agreement with TZ Holdings, L.P. and TZ Merger Sub, Inc. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 13 hereof, shall not apply in any manner
to (i) the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) any actions expressly permitted under the Merger Agreement, or (iv) any compliance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement, such that, without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, (a) the execution, delivery and performance of, actions taken as expressly permitted by, and actions taken in compliance with, the Merger Agreement and the
consummation of the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall not result in either Parent or Merger Sub being deemed an Acquiring Person or the occurrence of a Shares Acquisition Date, (b) a
Distribution Date shall not occur, and the Rights issued under this Agreement shall not become exercisable, as a result of or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of, or compliance with, the Merger Agreement or the announcement
or consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (c) the Final Expiration Date shall occur immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger;
provided, however, that (i) the foregoing exemptions relating to the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall be automatically and immediately revoked
in the event of any termination of the Merger Agreement, with the result that the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after any termination of the Merger Agreement and shall be applicable to Parent, Merger Sub and any of their affiliates
with the same effect as though the Second Amendment to this Agreement dated as of April 11, 2008 (the “Second Amendment”) had not occurred and (ii) the Company shall provide Rights Agent with notice that the Merger has not
occurred; provided, further, that the Second Amendment shall not exempt from the terms of this Agreement any action taken by Parent, Merger Sub or any other party not expressly provided for in the Merger Agreement.”

	 	n.	A new Section 35 shall be added as follows: 

 “Section 35. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Rights Agent shall not be liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control including, without

systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest.” 
  

	 	2.	All terms defined in the Rights Agreement that are used herein shall have the meanings defined in the Rights Agreement, unless specifically defined otherwise herein.

  

	 	3.	This Second Amendment shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
such state applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such state.

and effect. 

  

	 	5.	The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Second Amendment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Second Amendment or the
Rights Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect, and in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be automatically added as part of this Amendment a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the
invalid or unenforceable provision as possible, provided that this Amendment, as so amended, (a) reflects the intent of the parties hereto, and (b) does not change the bargained for consideration or benefits to be received by each
party hereto. 

  

	 	6.	This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and both such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
