Section 6.01 Pre-Closing Taxes. Except as set forth in Section 5.03, Parent shall be
responsible for (and shall indemnify the SpinCo Entities from and against) all Pre-Closing Taxes, including any Pre-Closing Taxes resulting from any audit, amendment,
other change or adjustment, Taxes of the Consolidated Group, and Taxes reportable on a Tax Return described in Section 2.02(a) (to the extent allocated to Parent under Article IV). Any refund of Pre-Closing
Taxes and such other Taxes for which Parent is responsible (whether by payment, credit, offset against other Taxes due or otherwise) shall be for the benefit of (and paid to) Parent 

Section 6.02 Carrybacks. In the event any Tax Benefit Item of the SpinCo Entities for any taxable period after they cease
being Members of the Consolidated Group is eligible to be carried back to a taxable period while the SpinCo Entities were Members of the Consolidated Group, the SpinCo Entities shall, where possible, elect to carry such amounts forward to subsequent
taxable periods. If the SpinCo Entities are required by law to carry back any such Tax Benefit Item, the SpinCo Entities shall be entitled to a payment at the time and to the extent that 

  
 10 

 
such Tax Benefit Item reduces the Income Tax liability of the Consolidated Group. For purposes of computing the amount of the payment described in this Section 6.02, one or more Tax Benefit
Items shall be considered to have reduced the Consolidated Group’s Income Tax liability in a given taxable period by an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of the Consolidated Group’s Income Tax liability
for the taxable period computed without regard to such Tax Benefit Item or Items and (ii) the amount of the Consolidated Group’s Income Tax liability for the taxable period computed with regard to such Tax Benefit Item or Items. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the SpinCo Entities are required to carry back a Tax Benefit Item, such Tax Benefit Item shall reduce the Consolidated Group’s Income Tax liability only after all Tax Benefit Items of Parent have been applied to reduce
the Consolidated Group’s Income Tax liability in such taxable period. Appropriate reconciliation payments shall be made in the event that it is subsequently determined that a Tax Benefit Item did not reduce the Consolidated Group’s Income
Tax liabilities, including by reason of any such Tax Benefit Item being subsequently disallowed in whole or in part or by reason of other Tax benefits becoming available. 

Section 6.03 Timing Differences. 

(a) If any audit, amendment, other change or adjustment to any Tax Return, pursuant to a Final Determination, results in a Timing Difference,
then for each Post-Closing Tax Period in which a member of the SpinCo Group actually realizes a Tax benefit by reason of such Timing Difference, SpinCo shall pay to Parent an amount equal to such Tax benefit within 10 days of such benefit being
realized. 
 (b) If any audit, amendment, other change or adjustment to any Tax Return, pursuant to a Final Determination, results in a
Reverse Timing Difference, then for each Pre-Closing Tax Period in which any Parent Entity actually realizes a Tax benefit by reason of such Reverse Timing Difference, Parent shall pay to SpinCo an amount
equal to such Tax benefit within 10 days of such benefit being realized. 
 Section 6.04 Indemnification. 

(a) SpinCo Liability. SpinCo shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and any Parent Entities from and against
any liability for, (i) Taxes which are allocated to SpinCo under Article IV and Article V, (ii) Taxes resulting from a breach by SpinCo of any covenant in this Agreement, (iii) any Tax-Related
Losses for which SpinCo is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement, and (iv) any stamp, sales and use, gross receipts, value-added or other transfer Taxes imposed on any SpinCo Entity (if such entity is primarily liable for
such Tax) on the transfers occurring pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. 
 (b) Parent Liability.
Parent shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and the SpinCo Entities from and against any liability for, (i) Taxes which are allocated to Parent under Articles III, IV and V, (ii) Taxes resulting from a breach
by Parent of any covenant in this Agreement, (iii) any Tax-Related Losses for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement, and (iv) any stamp, sales and use, gross
receipts, value-added or other transfer Taxes imposed on any Parent Entity (if such entity is primarily liable for such Tax) on the transfers occurring pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement (other than any
transactions described in the Plan of Reorganization). 

  
 11 

 (c) Payments. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all indemnification payments
required to be made under this Agreement shall be made within 20 days of the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of written notice of the amount owed, together with reasonable documentation showing the basis for the calculation of such amount
and evidence of payment of such amount by the indemnified party. 
 Section 6.05 Characterization of and Adjustments to
Payments. 
 (a) For all Tax purposes, Parent and SpinCo agree to treat any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with
respect to interest accruing after the Distribution Date) as either a contribution by Parent to SpinCo or a distribution by SpinCo to Parent, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Distribution Date or as a payment of an assumed or
retained liability. 
 (b) Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account any inclusion in income of the
indemnified party arising from the receipt of such indemnity payment and shall be decreased to take into account any reduction in income of the indemnified party arising from such indemnified liability. For purposes hereof, any inclusion or
reduction shall be determined (i) using the highest marginal rates in effect at the time of the determination and (ii) assuming that the indemnified party will be liable for Taxes at such rate and has no Tax Attributes at the time of the
determination. 
 ARTICLE VII

thereof) and (y) in the event any claim has been made under this Agreement for which such information is relevant, a Final Determination with respect to such claim; (ii) the filing or execution of any document that may be necessary or
reasonably helpful in connection with the filing of any Tax Return, or claim for a refund of Taxes previously paid, by either party, or in connection with any Tax Controversy addressed in the preceding sentence (including a requisite power of
attorney); and (iii) the use of the parties’ reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation from a governmental authority or a third party that may be necessary or helpful in connection with the foregoing. Each party shall make its
employees and facilities reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation. 
 (b) Parent and the SpinCo
Entities shall use reasonable efforts to keep each other informed as to the status of Tax Controversies involving any issue which could give rise to any liability of the other party under this Agreement. Parent and the SpinCo Entities shall each

  
 12 

 
promptly notify the other of any inquiries by any Taxing Authority or any other administrative, judicial or other governmental authority that relate to any Tax that may be imposed on the other or
any Affiliate of the other that might give rise to any liability under this Agreement. Parent shall have sole control of any Tax Controversy relating to the Consolidated Group or to any Pre-Closing Taxes.
Parent shall have sole control of any Tax Controversy relating to any State Combined and Consolidated Return, provided, that in the case of any such Tax Controversy that may affect Taxes for which the SpinCo Entities have responsibility hereunder,
the SpinCo Entities may participate in such Tax Controversies at their own expense. If the potential liability of the SpinCo Entities under this Agreement relating to any Tax Controversy exceeds $5,000,000, Parent shall not settle or concede such
Tax Controversy without the prior written consent of the SpinCo Entities, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (c) If
any Tax Controversy includes or could include both a claim for Taxes for which any Parent Entity is liable under this Agreement and a claim for Taxes for which any SpinCo Entity is liable under this Agreement, Parent and SpinCo shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to separate such claim(s) for Taxes for which the Parent Entity is liable from such claim(s) for which the SpinCo entity is liable. Parent shall have sole control of any such Tax Controversy that involves a claim for
Taxes for which the Parent Entity is liable under this Agreement that is not separable from a claim for Taxes for which the SpinCo Entity is liable under this Agreement (a “Mixed Tax Controversy”). SpinCo shall be entitled to
participate fully (at SpinCo’s sole cost and expense) in the conduct of any Mixed Tax Controversy, and Parent shall not settle such Mixed Tax Controversy without the consent of SpinCo, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
The reasonable costs and expenses of conducting the defense of any Mixed Tax Controversy shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the claim for Taxes for which the Parent Entity is liable and the claim for Taxes for which the
SpinCo Entity is liable. 
 Section 7.02 Contest Provisions. Subject to the cooperation provisions in Section 7.01, Parent
shall have the right to resolve any difference or disagreement on any matter that arises out of the application and interpretation of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall (i) in good faith cooperate and consult with the SpinCo
Entities in an effort to resolve any differences with respect to Parent’s position with regard to such matter, (ii) in good faith consider the SpinCo Entities’ position on such matter and (iii) advise the SpinCo Entities of the
reason for rejecting any such recommendation for alternative positions. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

TAX-FREE STATUS 

Section 8.01 Tax Opinions and Representation Letters. Each of SpinCo and Parent hereby represents and agrees that (A) it has
read and reviewed the Representation Letters prior to the Distribution Date and (B) subject to any qualifications therein, all information contained in such Representation Letters that concerns or relates to such company or any of its
Subsidiaries is true, correct and complete. 
 Section 8.02 Restrictions on SpinCo. 

  
 13 

 (a) SpinCo agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any SpinCo Entity to take or
fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material information, covenant or representation in any Representation Letters or Tax Opinion. SpinCo agrees that it will not take or
fail to take, or permit any SpinCo Entity to take or fail to take, any action which prevents or could reasonably be expected to prevent (A) the Tax-Free Status, or (B) any transaction contemplated by
the Separation Agreement which is intended by the parties to be tax-free from so qualifying, including, in the case of SpinCo, issuing any SpinCo Capital Stock that would prevent the Distribution from
qualifying as a tax-free distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code. 
 (b)
SpinCo agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, it will (i) maintain its status as a company engaged in the Active Trade or Business
for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and (ii) not engage in any transaction that would result in it ceasing to be a company engaged in the Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, in each case,
taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code. 
 (c) SpinCo agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, it will not (i) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any
Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (ii) merge or consolidate with any other Person or liquidate or partially liquidate, (iii) in a single transaction or series of transactions sell or transfer (other than sales or transfers of
inventory in the ordinary course of business) 30% or more of the gross assets of the Active Trade or Business or 30% or more of the consolidated gross assets of SpinCo and its Affiliates (such percentages to be measured based on fair market value as
of the Distribution Date), (iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an SpinCo Affiliate) any SpinCo stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (v) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational
documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of SpinCo Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of SpinCo Capital Stock into another class
of SpinCo Capital Stock) or (vi) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Representation Letters or the Tax Opinion) which in
the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this subparagraph (c)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or
indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in SpinCo or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status, unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses
(i) through (vi), (A) SpinCo shall provide Parent with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Parent may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a
basis for the opinion) (B) SpinCo shall have requested Parent to obtain a supplemental ruling in accordance with Section 8.03 of this Agreement to the effect that such action will not affect the
Tax-Free Status and Parent shall have received such a supplemental ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it or (C) Parent shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Unqualified Tax
Opinion or supplemental ruling. 

  
 14 

 (d) Certain Issuances of SpinCo Capital Stock. If SpinCo proposes to enter into any
Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the period from the
date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall provide Parent, no later than ten days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the
Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of SpinCo Capital Stock to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the Board of Directors of SpinCo to the effect that
the Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction or any other transaction to which the requirements of Section 8.02(c) apply (a “Board Certificate”). 

Section 8.03 Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings. 

(a) If SpinCo notifies Parent that it desires to take one of the actions described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 8.02(c) (a
“Notified Action”), Parent and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain the Unqualified Tax Opinion or supplemental ruling from the IRS referred to in Section 8.02(c), unless Parent shall have waived the requirement to
obtain such Unqualified Tax Opinion or supplemental ruling. If such a ruling is to be sought, Parent shall apply for such ruling and Parent and SpinCo shall jointly control the process of obtaining such ruling. In no event shall Parent be required
to file any ruling request under this Section 8.03(a) unless SpinCo represents that (x) it has read such ruling request, and (y) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the SpinCo Group, contained in such
ruling request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. Parent and SpinCo shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining a supplemental ruling requested by SpinCo. 

(b) Unqualified Tax Opinion at SpinCo’s Request. Parent agrees that, at the reasonable request of SpinCo, Parent shall cooperate
with SpinCo’s efforts to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting SpinCo to take the Notified Action. Parent and SpinCo shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining an Unqualified
Tax Opinion requested by SpinCo. 
 (c) Unqualified Tax Opinion at Parent’s Request. Parent shall have the right to obtain a
supplemental ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Parent determines to obtain a supplemental ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, SpinCo shall (and shall cause each Affiliate of SpinCo to)
cooperate with Parent and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the supplemental ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing
any materials or information requested by Tax Advisor or the IRS). Parent and SpinCo shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining an Unqualified Tax Opinion or supplemental ruling requested by Parent. 

(d) Except as provided in Section 8.03(a) and (b) neither SpinCo nor any SpinCo Affiliate shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any
other Taxing Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Distribution (including the impact of any transaction on the Distribution). 

  
 15 

 Section 8.04 Liability for Tax-Related
Losses. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, subject to Section 8.04(c),
SpinCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any
Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Contribution or the Distribution) of all or a portion of
SpinCo’s stock and/or its or its subsidiaries’ assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements by SpinCo with respect to transactions or events (including, without
limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan
pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of SpinCo representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, (C) any action or failure to act by SpinCo after the Distribution (including, without limitation, any
amendment to SpinCo’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise) affecting the voting rights of SpinCo stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one
class of SpinCo Capital Stock into another class of SpinCo Capital Stock), (D) any act or failure to act by SpinCo or any SpinCo Affiliate described in Section 8.02 (regardless whether such act or failure to act is covered by a
supplemental ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 8.02(c) or a Board Certificate described in Section 8.02(d)) or (E) any breach by SpinCo of its agreements and
representations set forth in Section 8.01. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the
contrary, subject to Section 8.04(c), Parent shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent
(100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to, or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Contribution or the Distribution) of all or
a portion of Parent’s stock and/or its assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any negotiations, agreements or arrangements by Parent with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances,
pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more
Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of Parent representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, or (C) any breach by Parent of its agreements and representations set forth in Section 8.01. 

(c) To the extent that any Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity under both Section 8.04(a) and
Section 8.04(b), responsibility for such Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by Parent and SpinCo according to relative fault. 

(d) SpinCo shall pay Parent the amount of any Tax-Related Losses for which SpinCo is responsible under
this Section 8.04: (A) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in 

  
 16 

 
clause (i) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses no later than five days prior to the date Parent files, or causes to be filed, the applicable Tax
Return for the year of the Contribution or Distribution, as applicable (the “Filing Date”) (provided that if such Tax-Related Losses arise pursuant to a Final Determination described in clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Final Determination,” then SpinCo shall pay Parent no later than five days after the date of such Final Determination with interest calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate
plus two percent, from the date that is five days prior to the Filing Date through the date of such Final Determination) and (B) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or
(iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than five days after the date Parent pays such Tax-Related Losses. Parent shall pay SpinCo the amount of any
Tax-Related Losses (described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Loss) for which Parent is responsible under this Section 8.04 no
later than five days after the date SpinCo pays such Tax-Related Losses. 
 Section 8.05
336(e) Election. The Parties agree that (i) Parent and SpinCo shall enter into a written, binding agreement and (ii) Parent shall timely make a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any similar provision of any
U.S. state or local jurisdiction) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-2(j) (a “Protective Section 336(e) Election”) with respect to the Distribution, in each case, in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-2(h). Parent shall timely file such forms as may be contemplated by applicable Tax law or administrative practice to effect such Protective Section 336(e)
Election. To the extent, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Distribution constitutes a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), the Parties
shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with the relevant Protective Section 336(e) Election, except as may be required pursuant to a Final Determination. For the
avoidance of doubt, in the event that Section 336(e) applies to the Distribution, Parent shall be permitted to make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii) in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(E) and specifying Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(C) as the basis for relief. 

Section 8.06 Tax Reporting. Each of Parent and SpinCo covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective
Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status. 

ARTICLE IX

 Section 9.04 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related to it or to the transactions
contemplated hereby or to the inducement of any Party to enter into it, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of the choice of Laws principles of the State of Delaware, including all matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies. 

Section 9.05 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement and all other Ancillary Agreements (except as may be otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in
whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in connection with a change of control of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee
Person assumes all the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. Nothing in this Section 9.05 is intended to, or shall be
construed to, prohibit either Party or any member of its Group from being party to or undertaking a change of control. 
 Section 9.06
Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 

Section 9.07 Intended Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and
should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without this Agreement. 

Section 9.08 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, 

  
 20 

 
void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been
held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and
equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. 
 Section 9.09 Expenses. Unless otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, each party shall bear any and all expenses that arise from its respective obligations under this Agreement. In the event either party to this Agreement brings an action or proceeding for the breach or enforcement of this
Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, whether or not such action or proceeding proceeds to final judgment, shall be entitled to recover as an element of its costs, and not as damages, such reasonable attorneys’ fees as
may be awarded in the action or proceeding in addition to whatever other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled. 

Section 9.10 Headings. The Article, Section and Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.11 Survival of Covenants. Except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties and other agreements contained in this Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive the Effective Time and shall
remain in full force and effect thereafter. 
 Section 9.12 Waivers of Default. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other
Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

Section 9.13 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party,
unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification. 

Section 9.14 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the Parties, and any rule of
construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

 (iii) any and all Liabilities expressly
assumed or retained by any member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (b) Acceptance and Assumption of Parent
Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, on or prior to the Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, Parent and certain members of the Parent Group designated by Parent shall accept, assume and agree
faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all of the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a Parent Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether

whatsoever with respect to claims under a Parent Benefit Plan, taking into account a corresponding SpinCo Benefit Plan’s assumption of Liabilities with respect to SpinCo Group Employees and Former SpinCo Group Employees that were originally the
Liabilities of such Parent Benefit Plan with respect to periods prior to the Effective Time; and 
 (iii) any and all Liabilities expressly
assumed or retained by any member of the Parent Group pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (c) Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that

account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement. 

  
 -11-

Employee or a Former SpinCo Group Employee whose employment was terminated during the thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, in the case of Parent; provided, however, without limiting the generality of the foregoing

 -24- 

 
administratively practicable at or after the Effective Time. Each Party shall permit the other Party reasonable access to its Employee records, to the extent reasonably necessary for such

Maintenance of Records. With respect to retaining, destroying, transferring, sharing, copying and permitting access to all Employee-related information, Parent and SpinCo shall comply with all applicable Laws, regulations and internal
policies, and shall indemnify and hold harmless each other from and against any and all Liability, Actions, and damages that arise from a failure (by the indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective agents) to so comply with all
applicable Laws, regulations and internal policies applicable to such information. 
 (e) Cooperation. Each Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and work together to unify, consolidate and share (to the extent permissible under applicable privacy/data protection Laws) all relevant documents, resolutions, government filings, data, payroll,
employment and benefit plan information on regular timetables and cooperate as needed with respect to (i) any claims under or audit of or litigation with respect to any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) efforts to seek a determination letter, private letter ruling or advisory opinion from the IRS or U.S. Department of Labor on behalf of any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement contemplated by this Agreement,

Employees to be shared or transferred pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to Section 6.9 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the requirements of applicable Law. 

Section 8.02. Preservation of Rights to Amend. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the rights of each member of the Parent

Section 8.03. Fiduciary Matters. Parent and SpinCo each acknowledges that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement
may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good-faith
determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that 

  
 -25- 

 
to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary
responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility. 

Section 8.04. Further Assurances. Each Party hereto shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all reasonable actions, including
the execution, acknowledgment, filing and delivery of any and all documents and instruments that any other Party hereto may reasonably request in order to effect the intent and purpose of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 8.05. Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party. 
 (b) This Agreement, the
Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits, Schedules and appendices hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous
agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties other than those set forth or referred to herein or
therein. This Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements govern the arrangements in connection with the Separation and Distribution and would not have been entered independently.

member of the SpinCo Group, as follows: 
 (i) each such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all
corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and 

(ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof.

mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by email in portable document format (PDF) shall be effective
as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement. Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in
portable document format (PDF)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were
signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause this Agreement to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of
the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.

 Section 8.06. Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out
of or related hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby or to the inducement of any Party to enter herein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common Law, statute or otherwise) shall be

performance and remedies. 
 Section 8.07. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party
hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement and all other Ancillary Agreements (except as may be
otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in connection with a change of control of a
Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. 

Section 8.08. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not
intended to confer upon any other Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, Liability,
reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend any employee benefit plan or affect the applicable plan sponsor’s right to amend or
terminate any employee benefit plan pursuant to the terms of such plan. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no current or former Employee, officer, director, or independent contractor or any other

 A Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are to be given.

 Section 8.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held
invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable
provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. 
 Section 8.11. Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of
this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or
failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a

 Section 8.14. Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party
of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

Section 8.15. Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution
Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties.
