SpinCo will elect and join, and will cause its respective Affiliates to elect and join, in filing any Joint Returns that Parent determines are required to be filed or that Parent elects to file, in each case pursuant to this Section 3.01(a).

If such a protective election is made, this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion to compensate Parent for any Tax Benefits realized by SpinCo as a result of such election.

Section 3.05 SpinCo Carrybacks and Claims for Refund.

(a) SpinCo hereby agrees that, unless Parent consents in writing (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion) or unless required by Law, (i) no member of the SpinCo Group (nor its successors) shall file any Adjustment Request with respect to any Tax Return that could affect any Joint Return or any other Tax Return reflecting Taxes that are allocated to Parent under Article II and (ii) any available elections to waive the right to claim any SpinCo Carryback in any Joint Return or any other Tax Return reflecting Taxes that are allocated to Parent under Article II shall be made, and no affirmative election shall be made to claim any such SpinCo Carryback. In the event that SpinCo (or the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group) is prohibited by applicable Law from waiving or otherwise forgoing a SpinCo Carryback or Parent consents to a SpinCo Carryback (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion), Parent shall cooperate with SpinCo, at SpinCo’ expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such Tax Benefit as reasonably would result from such SpinCo Carryback, to the extent that such Tax Benefit is directly attributable to such SpinCo Carryback, and shall pay over to SpinCo the amount of such Tax Benefit, net of any costs and expenses, within ten (10) days after such Tax Benefit is recognized by the Parent Group; provided, however, that SpinCo shall indemnify and hold the members of the Parent Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such SpinCo Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the Parent Group if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unused, but would have been utilized but for such SpinCo Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later Tax Period than the Tax Period in which such Tax Attributes would have been used but for such SpinCo Carryback.

(b) Receipt of consent by SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group from Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall not limit or modify SpinCo’s continuing indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 2.01.

Section 3.06 Apportionment of Tax Attributes.

(a) Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period will be allocated to (and the benefits and burdens of such Tax Attributes will inure to) the members of the Parent Group and the members of the SpinCo Group in accordance with the Code, Treasury Regulations, and any other applicable Tax Law or confirmed in respective Swiss Tax rulings, and, in the absence of controlling legal authority or unless otherwise provided under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 3.07 or Schedule A, Tax Attributes shall be allocated to the legal entity that created such Tax Attributes.

(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07 or Schedule A, Parent shall in good faith advise SpinCo in writing of the amount, if any, of any Tax Attributes, which Parent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be allocated or apportioned to the SpinCo Group under applicable Tax Law, provided that this Section 3.06(b) shall not be construed as obligating Parent to undertake any such determination. SpinCo and all members of the SpinCo Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with such written notice. SpinCo agrees that it shall not dispute Parent’s allocation or apportionment of Tax Attributes. SpinCo may request that Parent undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any particular Tax Attribute to be allocated or apportioned to the SpinCo Group under applicable law; to the extent that Parent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to undertake such determination, or does not

otherwise advise SpinCo of its intention to undertake such determination within twenty (20) business days of the receipt of such request, SpinCo shall be permitted to undertake such determination at its own cost and expense and shall notify Parent of its determination, which determination shall not be binding upon Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be liable to any member of the SpinCo Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 3.06(b) to be accurate under applicable Tax Law; provided such determination was made in good faith.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Tax Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or Schedule A of this Agreement, as agreed by the Parties.

Section 3.07 UK Group Relief.

(a) Parent shall determine the amounts for purposes of UK Group Relief available to be surrendered (i) by any member of the Parent Group to any member of the SpinCo Group, or (ii) by any member of the SpinCo Group to any member of the Parent Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties shall make, or shall cause to be made, such elections and shall take such other actions that are necessary or appropriate to give effect to the surrender of any amounts referred to in Section 3.07(a) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, and to ensure that such surrenders are allowed in full by HM Revenue & Customs.

(c) In consideration of such surrenders as are referred to in Section 3.07(a)(i), SpinCo shall procure that the relevant member of the SpinCo Group shall pay to the relevant member of the Parent Group such amount of UK corporation Tax as is saved by the relevant member of the SpinCo Group (including where UK corporation Tax previously paid has been refunded) as a result of the relevant surrender, such amount to be paid no later than the time which such UK corporation Tax saved would otherwise have been paid to a Tax Authority.

(d) In consideration of such surrenders as are referred to in Section 3.07(a)(ii), Parent shall procure that the relevant member of the Parent Group shall pay to the relevant member of the SpinCo Group such amount of UK corporation Tax as is saved by the relevant member of the Parent Group (including where UK corporation Tax previously paid has been refunded) as a result of the relevant surrender, such amount to be paid no later than the time which such UK corporation Tax saved would otherwise have been paid to a Tax Authority.

(a) SpinCo, on behalf of itself and all other members of the SpinCo Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the SpinCo Group will take, fail to take, or permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials or the Valuations or (ii) any action which constitutes a SpinCo Disqualifying Act.

(b) During the Restricted Period, SpinCo:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued and not approve or allow, or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to, the discontinuance, cessation, or sale or other transfer (to an Affiliate or otherwise) of, or a material change in or sale of the material assets of, any Active Business, other than sales in the ordinary course of business;

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate or partially liquidate itself, approve or allow any liquidation, or partial liquidation of any of its Affiliates (including any action that is a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to the foregoing, other than, in the case of any of its Affiliates, into any other Affiliate that is a member of the SpinCo “separate affiliated group” as defined in Section 355(b)(3)(B) of the Code;

(iii) shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right or ability to prevent or prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any 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), (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), issue a new class of non-voting stock, or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its Capital Stock (including through the conversion of any Capital Stock into another class of Capital Stock), (4) (A) merge or consolidate with any other Person or (B) allow any of its Affiliates to merge or consolidate with any other Person other than any other Affiliate that is a member of the SpinCo “separate affiliated group” as defined in Section 355(b)(3)(B) of the Code or (5) 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 Tax Materials) that in the aggregate would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of SpinCo Capital Stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, 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 forty percent (40%) or greater interest in SpinCo or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve, achieve or maintain the Intended Tax Treatment, or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to any of the foregoing;

For purposes of this Section 6.02(b)(iv), a merger of SpinCo or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of SpinCo shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of SpinCo or such Subsidiary;

(v) shall, if any member of the SpinCo Group proposes to enter into any transaction or series of transactions that is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction but would be a Proposed Acquisition Transaction if the percentage reflected in the definition of Proposed Acquisition Transaction were thirty percent (30%) instead of forty percent (40%) (a “Section 6.02(b)(v) Acquisition Transaction”) or, to the extent SpinCo has the right or ability to prevent or prohibit any Section 6.02(b)(v) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 6.02(b)(v) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, provide Parent, no later than ten (10) business days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the Section 6.02(b)(v) Acquisition Transaction, a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of stock of SpinCo to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the board of directors of SpinCo to the effect that the Section 6.02(b)(v) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction; and

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 6.02(b), SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group may take any of the actions or transactions described therein if (i) SpinCo shall have requested that Parent obtain a private letter ruling (including a supplemental ruling, if applicable) from the IRS (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”) in accordance with Section 6.03(b) to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Intended Tax Treatment, and Parent shall have received such a Post-Distribution Ruling and shall have notified SpinCo in writing that Parent has determined that such Post-Distribution Ruling is in form and substance satisfactory to Parent in its sole and absolute discretion or (ii) both (A) SpinCo obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion with respect thereto and (B) Parent notifies SpinCo in writing that Parent has determined that such Unqualified Tax Opinion is in form and substance satisfactory to Parent in its sole and absolute discretion. Parent’s evaluation of a Post-Distribution Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations and covenants made in connection with such ruling or opinion as well as any other factors, circumstances, considerations or concerns that Parent determines in its sole and absolute discretion are relevant. SpinCo shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall, as set forth in Section 6.03(b) below, reimburse Parent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Parent or any of its Affiliates may incur in good faith in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

(d) Parent and SpinCo acknowledge that each of the Swiss demergers of Aptiv Technologies AG, Aptiv Manufacturing Management Services GmbH and Aptiv PLC is intended to qualify as a transaction described in clause (y) of Intended Tax Treatment. Parent and SpinCo shall ensure that each of Aptiv Technologies AG, Aptiv Manufacturing Management Services GmbH, Parent and SpinCo continue the operation of its transferred and remaining business (as described in the Swiss Tax Rulings) for at least 2 years following the effective legal date of the Swiss demergers (Swiss Business Continuity Requirement), as applicable, unless Parent or SpinCo obtain a tax ruling from the Schaffhausen tax administration and the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirming that cessation of such pre-existing operation will not impact the tax qualification of the intended tax-neutral reorganization in accordance with Swiss tax law. SpinCo undertakes to fully impose its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.02(d) to any subsequent acquirer of a majority of the shares in SpinCo.

Section 6.03 Additional Procedures Regarding Post-Distribution Rulings and Unqualified Tax Opinions.

(b) Post-Distribution Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at SpinCo’s Request. Unless Parent shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion, upon the reasonable request of SpinCo pursuant to Section 6.02(c)(i), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperating with SpinCo and in seeking to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Post-Distribution Ruling from the IRS (and/or any other applicable Governmental Authority) or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting SpinCo to take the Notified Action, subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to file or cooperate in the filing of any request for a Post-Distribution Ruling under this Section 6.03(b) unless SpinCo represents that (A) it has reviewed such request for a Post-Distribution Ruling, and (B) all statements, information and representations relating to any member of the SpinCo Group contained in such request for a Post-Distribution Ruling are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses and expenses relating to the utilization of Parent personnel, incurred by the Parent Group in obtaining a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by SpinCo within thirty (30) business days after receiving an invoice from Parent therefor.

(c) Post-Distribution Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at Parent’s Request. Parent shall have the right to obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Parent determines in its sole and absolute discretion to obtain a Post-Distribution 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 Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by the IRS, any other applicable Governmental Authority or a Tax Advisor; provided, that, SpinCo shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of SpinCo to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which matters or events it has no control). Parent shall reimburse SpinCo for all reasonable costs and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses and expenses relating to the utilization of SpinCo personnel, incurred by the Parent Group in connection with such cooperation within thirty (30) business days after receiving an invoice from SpinCo therefor.

(d) Parent shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Post-Distribution Ruling, and only Parent shall be permitted to apply for a Post-Distribution Ruling. In connection with obtaining a Post-Distribution Ruling, Parent shall (A) keep SpinCo informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Parent in connection therewith; (B) (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any request for any Post-Distribution Ruling provide SpinCo with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider SpinCo comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide SpinCo with a final copy of such Post-Distribution Ruling; and (C) provide SpinCo with notice reasonably in advance of, and SpinCo shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS or other applicable Governmental Authority (subject to the approval of the IRS or such Governmental Authority) that relate to such Post-Distribution Ruling. Neither SpinCo nor any Affiliate of SpinCo directly or indirectly controlled by SpinCo shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, oral or otherwise) at any time concerning the Separation Transactions (including the impact of any transaction on the Separation Transactions).

(e) Any Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion obtained in accordance with Section 6.02(c) and Section 6.03 shall be deemed included in the definition of Tax Materials from and after the obtaining thereof for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6.04 Liability for Specified Separation Taxes and Tax-Related Losses.

(a) In the event that Specified Separation Taxes become due and payable to a Tax Authority pursuant to a Final Determination, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) Without regard to whether a Post-Distribution Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion may have been provided or whether any action is permitted or consented to hereunder and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if such Specified Separation Taxes are attributable to a SpinCo Disqualifying Act, then SpinCo shall be responsible for such Specified Separation Taxes and corresponding Tax-Related Losses;

(ii) if such Specified Separation Taxes are attributable to a Parent Disqualifying Act, then Parent shall be responsible for such Specified Separation Taxes and corresponding Tax-Related Losses; and

(iii) if such Specified Separation Taxes are not attributable to either a Parent Disqualifying Act or a SpinCo Disqualifying Act, responsibility for such Specified Separation Taxes and corresponding Tax-Related Losses shall be shared by Parent and SpinCo in proportion to their respective fair market values as of the day after the Distribution Date (determined using the closing Parent Stock and SpinCo Stock prices as of such date).

(b) SpinCo shall pay Parent the amount of any Specified Separation Taxes and corresponding Tax Related Losses for which SpinCo is responsible under this Section 6.04 or Section 2.01(c) as a result of a Final Determination no later than two (2) Business Days after the date such Specified Separation Taxes are determined as a result of a Final Determination to be due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall pay Parent the amount of any Specified Separation Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible under this Section 6.04 or Section 2.01(c) within seven (7) Business Days of written demand therefor by Parent if Parent determines that the payment of Specified Separation Taxes earlier than a Final Determination with respect to such Specified Separation Taxes is necessary or prudent to obtain a favorable resolution of a Tax Contest relating to Specified Separation Taxes.

Section 6.05 Liability for Incremental Other Separation Taxes. In the event that Other Separation Taxes become due and payable to a Tax Authority pursuant to a Final Determination in an amount that exceeds the amount of Other Separation Taxes determined by Parent, in its good faith discretion, to be reportable with respect to the relevant Separation Transaction (“Incremental Other Separation Taxes”), responsibility for such Incremental Other Separation Taxes shall be shared by Parent and SpinCo in proportion to their respective fair market values as of the day after the Distribution Date (determined using the closing Parent Stock and SpinCo Stock prices as of such date).

ARTICLE VII

ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION

(a) The Parties shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Parties and their Affiliates, including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed.

SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group shall cooperate with Parent and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinions (including, without limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Advisor; provided that neither SpinCo nor any other member of the SpinCo Group shall be required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control).

(b) Any information or documents provided under this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the Party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. In addition, in the event that Parent determines that the provision of any information or documents to SpinCo or any of its Affiliates, or SpinCo determines that the provision of any information or documents to Parent or any Parent Affiliate, could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit each other’s compliance with its obligations under this Article VII in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 7.02 Tax Return Information. Each of Parent and SpinCo, and each member of their respective Groups, acknowledges that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement or this Section 7.02. Each Party shall provide to the other Party information and documents

relating to its Group reasonably required by the other Party to prepare Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Party requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Party reasonably requests and in sufficient time for the Responsible Party to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 7.03 Reliance by Parent. If any member of the SpinCo Group supplies information to a member of the Parent Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the Parent Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Parent Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of SpinCo (or any officer of SpinCo as designated by the chief financial officer of SpinCo) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. SpinCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Parent Group and its directors, officers and employees from and against any fine, penalty or other cost or expense of any kind attributable to a member of the SpinCo Group having supplied, pursuant to this Article VII, a member of the Parent Group with inaccurate or incomplete information in connection with a Tax liability.

Section 7.04 Reliance by SpinCo. If any member of the Parent Group supplies information to a member of the SpinCo Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the SpinCo Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the SpinCo Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Parent (or any officer of Parent as designated by the chief financial officer of Parent) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the SpinCo Group and its directors, officers and employees from and against any fine, penalty or other cost or expense of any kind attributable to a member of the Parent Group having supplied, pursuant to this Article VII, a member of the SpinCo Group with inaccurate or incomplete information in connection with a Tax liability.

Section 7.05 Other Separation Taxes. SpinCo shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with Parent to correct any errors in the chronology or completion of any transactions intended to facilitate, or otherwise effectuated in connection with, the Separation, and take any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by Parent to minimize any Other Separation Taxes.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX RECORDS

Section 8.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each of Parent and SpinCo shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Parent shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Parent and SpinCo Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may be or become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations,

or (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each of Parent and SpinCo may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) Parent or SpinCo reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Article VIII are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Party agrees, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Parties shall have the opportunity, at their cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such sixty (60) Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Party or any of its Affiliates determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such program or system may be decommissioned or discontinued upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party and the other Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90) Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.02 Access to Tax Records. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession pertaining to (i) in the case of any Tax Return of the Parent Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the SpinCo Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) in the case of any Tax Return of the SpinCo Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the Parent Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and shall permit the other Party and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of the requesting Party, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Preservation of Privilege. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

ARTICLE IX

TAX CONTESTS

Section 9.01 Notice. Each Party shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware (i) related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder, (ii) relating to a SpinCo Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any member of the Parent Group or for any other Tax Period that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any member of the Parent Group, or (iii) otherwise relating to the Intended Tax Treatment or the Separation (including the resolution of any Tax Contest relating thereto). Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (x) to the extent the indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (y) to the extent the indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Parent Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax matters relating to (i) a Joint Return, (ii) a Parent Separate Return, (iii) Specified Separation Taxes, (iv) Other Separation Taxes and (v) Incremental Other Separation Taxes. Subject to Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d) of this Agreement, Parent shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest.

(b) SpinCo Control. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, SpinCo shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any SpinCo Separate Return. Subject to Section 9.02(c), Section 9.02(d), and Section 9.02(g) of this Agreement, SpinCo shall have reasonable discretion, after consultation with Parent, with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest relating to a SpinCo Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any member of the Parent Group (including that could result in SpinCo taking a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with a position taken on a Parent Group Tax Return for the Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period) or for any other Tax Period that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any member of the Parent Group (including that could result in SpinCo taking a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with a position taken on a Parent Group Tax Return for the Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period), and absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any other such Tax Contest.

(c) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any Tax Contest without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party; provided, that to the extent any such Tax Contest (i) could give rise to a claim for indemnity by the Controlling Party or its Affiliates against the Non-Controlling Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement, or (ii) is with respect to a SpinCo Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period and could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any member of the Parent Group or that could result in SpinCo taking a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with a position taken on a Parent Group Tax Return for the Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period or for any other Tax Period that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any member of the Parent Group, then the Controlling Party shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the Non-Controlling Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and, in the case of a Tax Contest relating to Incremental Other Separation Taxes or Specified Separation Taxes, must take into account the reasonable likelihood of success of such Tax Contest on its merits without regard to the ability of SpinCo to pay). Subject to Section 9.02(e) of this Agreement, and unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (I) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (II) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (III) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (IV) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (V) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in this Article IX, “Controlling Party” means the Party entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Article and “Non-Controlling Party” means (x) Parent if SpinCo is the Controlling Party and (y) SpinCo if Parent is the Controlling Party.

(d) Tax Contest Participation. Subject to Section 9.02(e) of this Agreement, and unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest (i) pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement or (ii) that is with respect to a SpinCo Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period and could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any member of the Parent Group or that could

result in SpinCo taking a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with a position taken on a Parent Group Tax Return for the Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period or for any other Tax Period and could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any member of the Parent Group. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 9.02(d) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(e) Joint Returns. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, in the case of a Tax Contest related to a Joint Return, the rights of SpinCo and its Affiliates under Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d) of this Agreement shall be limited in scope to the portion of such Tax Contest relating to Taxes for which SpinCo may reasonably expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to Parent under this Agreement.

(f) Transaction Related Tax Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02(b), Section 9.02(c), Section 9.02(d), and Section 9.02(e), in the case of any Transaction Related Tax Contest, Parent shall have the sole and absolute responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest; provided, that, to the extent any Transaction Related Tax Contest relates to a SpinCo Separate Return in respect of a Tax Period beginning after the Distribution Date, such responsibilities and rights of Parent shall be limited to the portion of such Transaction Related Tax Contest related to the Intended Tax Treatment of or the amount of Taxes imposed in respect of any of the Separation Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02(c) or Section 9.02(d), the final determination of the positions taken, including with respect to settlement or other disposition, in any Transaction Related Tax Contest (taking into account the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 9.02(f)) shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of Parent and shall be final and not subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 13.01 or Section 13.02 of this Agreement or Section 11.02 or Section 11.03 of the Separation Agreement.

(g) Power of Attorney. Each member of the SpinCo Group shall execute and deliver to Parent (or such member of the Parent Group as Parent shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Parent (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Parent is the Controlling Party) described in this Article IX. Each member of the Parent Group shall execute and deliver to SpinCo (or such member of the SpinCo Group as SpinCo shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by SpinCo (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which SpinCo is the Controlling Party) described in this Article IX.

(h) Costs and Expenses. Except to the extent provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Party to which the Tax liability related to a Tax Contest is (or would be) allocated, as determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be responsible for all Tax Related Costs and Expenses incurred in connection with such Tax Contest, regardless of which Party is responsible for the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided, that in the event such Tax liability is allocated to both Parties, such Tax Related Costs and Expenses shall be allocated to the Parties in such manner as the Parent determines in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE X

SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS

ARTICLE XI

TAX TREATMENT OF INTEREST

Section 11.01 Tax Treatment of Interest. Anything herein or in the Separation Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Party makes a payment of interest to the other Party under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Party receiving the interest payment made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Party making the interest payment reimbursed the Party receiving the interest payment for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Party making such payment (deductible to the extent provided by Law) and as interest income by the Party receiving such payment (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Party making such payment or increase in Tax to the Party receiving such payment.

ARTICLE XII

GROSS-UP OF INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS

Section 12.01 Gross-Up of Indemnification Payments. Except to the extent provided in Article IX, any Tax indemnity payment made by a Party under this Agreement shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such indemnity payment (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Taxes), the recipient Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

ARTICLE XIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 13.01 Tax Disputes. Subject to Section 13.03, Section 13.04 and Section 13.05, this Section 13.01 shall govern the resolution of any dispute between the Parties as to any matter covered by this Agreement that primarily relates to the interpretation of Tax Law, as determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion (a “Tax Advisor Dispute”). The Party raising the Tax Advisor Dispute shall give written notice of the Tax Advisor Dispute (a “Tax Advisor Dispute Notice”), and the tax directors of the Parties (or such other individuals designated by the respective general counsels) and/or the executive officers designated by the Parties shall

negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Tax Advisor Dispute; provided, that, such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, exceed thirty (30) days (the “Negotiation Period”) from the time of receipt of the Tax Advisor Dispute Notice; provided, further, that (x) the Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations, laches or any other defense, in each such case based on the passage of time during the Negotiation Period, and (y) any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement relating to such Tax Advisor Dispute occurring after the Tax Advisor Dispute Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until the procedures described in this Section 13.01 have been resolved. If the Tax Advisor Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Negotiation Period, Parent shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, appoint a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the Tax Advisor Dispute based solely on representations made by Parent, SpinCo and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Party only. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all Tax Advisor Disputes no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of such Tax Advisor Dispute to the Accounting Firm, but in no event later than the Due Date of Taxes or the filing of the applicable Tax Return, if applicable, and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all Tax Advisor Disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Past Practices of Parent and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Parties, and the parties agree to waive any objection to the naming of the Accounting Firm or the determination of the Accounting Firm based on actual or alleged conflicts of interest.

Section 13.02 Legal Disputes. Subject to Section 13.01, Section 13.03, Section 13.04 and Section 13.05, in the event of any claim, controversy, demand or request for relief of any kind arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of or related to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), then the Party raising the Dispute shall give written notice of the Dispute, and the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any such Dispute within thirty (30) days of such notice. If any Dispute is not so resolved, then a senior executive of each Party shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve any such Dispute within the following thirty (30) days of the referral of the matter to the senior executives. If no resolution is reached with respect to any such Dispute, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 11.02, Section 11.03 or Section 11.04 of the Separation Agreement.

Section 13.03 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article XIII shall prevent Parent from seeking injunctive relief to enforce the procedures provided for in Section 13.01 if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Tax Advisor Dispute through the Accounting Firm could result in serious and irreparable injury to Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement (or any Ancillary Agreement), Parent and SpinCo are the only members of their respective Groups entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of Parent and SpinCo will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, as provided in this Article XIII.

Section 13.04 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement (or any Ancillary Agreement), in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 6.01(b), Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) by SpinCo, Parent shall have the right, without first pursuing the procedures provided for in Section 13.01 and Section 13.02, to specific performance, declaratory relief and injunctive or other equitable relief (on a permanent, emergency, temporary, preliminary or interim basis) of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. SpinCo shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. SpinCo agrees that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss, and waives any defense in any action by Parent for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate. SpinCo also waives any requirements that Parent secure or post any bond or similar security with respect to such remedy.

Section 13.05 Venue for Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance Claims by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement (or any Ancillary Agreement), Parent may bring any claim for specific performance, declaratory relief and injunctive or other equitable relief (on a permanent, emergency, temporary, preliminary or interim basis) under Section 13.03 or Section 13.04 of this Agreement (a “Chosen Court Claim”) either (a) pursuant to the procedures contained in Section 11.02, Section 11.03 or Section 11.04 of the Separation Agreement or (b) at Parent’s sole and absolute discretion, in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any Delaware State court or the federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”). SpinCo irrevocably consents and agrees, on behalf of itself and each SpinCo Group member, to the jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Chosen Courts for a Chosen Court Claim, and agrees that it shall not assert, and shall hereby waive, any claim or right or defense that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient, that the Chosen Court Claim should instead be arbitrated by agreement of Parent or operation of law, or any similar objection, claim or argument.

ARTICLE XIV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 14.03 Interest on Late Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to any payment between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement not made by the due date set forth in this Agreement for such payment, the outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate in effect for underpayments under Section 6621 of the Code from such due date to and including the payment date.

Section 14.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and scanned and exchanged by electronic mail, and such facsimile or PDF signature or scanned and exchanged copies shall constitute an original for all purposes.

Section 14.05 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any successor by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, to any of the parties hereto, to the same extent as if such successor had been an original party to this Agreement.

Section 14.06 Application to Present and Future Subsidiaries. This Agreement is being entered into by Parent and SpinCo on behalf of themselves and the members of their respective Group. This Agreement shall constitute a direct obligation of each such Party and shall be deemed to have been readopted and affirmed on behalf of any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of Parent or SpinCo in the future.

Section 14.07 Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes relating to, arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, including to its execution, performance, or enforcement, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof or of any jurisdiction.

Section 14.08 Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Party to this Agreement (or any of its successors or permitted assigns) (a) shall enter into a consolidation or merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (b) shall transfer all or substantially all of such Party’s assets to any Person, then, in each such case, the assigning Party (or its successors or permitted assigns, as applicable) shall ensure that the assignee or successor-in-interest expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party shall not be required to seek consent, but shall provide written notice and evidence of such assignment, assumption or succession to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this Section 14.08 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 14.09 Further Assurances. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Parties hereto shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such other instruments and documents, and take or do, or cause to be taken or done, all such other actions and all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and agreements to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 14.10 Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all representations, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such matter (including extensions thereof).

Section 14.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court or arbitrator 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, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court or arbitrator determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 14.12 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party. Any decision by any Party to waive or to not waive any provision of this Agreement is in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 14.13 Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement, including in the table of contents of this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 14.14 Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. 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.

Section 14.15 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement, each other Ancillary Agreement and the Separation Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 14.16 Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) on the date received, if sent by a nationally recognized delivery or courier service, (c) upon written confirmation of receipt after transmittal by electronic mail or (d) upon the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5th) business day following the date of mailing if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

Section 14.17 Interpretation. Words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein,” “herewith” and words of similar import, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section or schedule references are to the articles, sections and schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in the Separation Agreement. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including any reference herein to this Agreement) shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth therein, including in Section 14.12). The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” All references to “$” or dollar amounts are to the lawful currency of the United States of America. References herein to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such law

as amended, reenacted, supplemented or superseded in whole or in part and in effect from time to time and also to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Parties (or their respective Group members) shall make, or cause to be made, any payment that is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement as promptly as practicable and without regard to any local currency constraints or similar restrictions. In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions hereof.
