SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
This SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 20[●], is entered into by and between KBR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Trinzic, Inc., a Delaware

meaning set forth in Section 1.1.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Parent, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts the Parent Retained Business and the SpinCo Business;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders to separate Parent into two separate,
publicly traded companies, one for each of (i) the Parent Retained Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) and (ii) the SpinCo Business, which
shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by SpinCo and its Subsidiaries (the “Separation”);
WHEREAS, in order to effect the Separation, the Parent Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders for Parent to undertake the Internal
Reorganization;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Internal Reorganization, KBR Holdings, LLC (“KBR Holdings”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will
contribute (the “Internal Contribution”) the equity interests of the SpinCo Subsidiaries to Solar MTS Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of KBR Holdings (“Internal SpinCo”) in exchange for the equity interests of Internal SpinCo, Internal SpinCo’s assumption of the obligations associated with certain intercompany payables, and the distribution to KBR Holdings
of a portion of the net proceeds of the Internal SpinCo Financing Arrangements equal to the Distributed Internal SpinCo Borrowing Proceeds;
WHEREAS, following the Internal Contribution, and pursuant to the Internal Reorganization, KBR Holdings will distribute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Internal SpinCo to Parent (the “Internal
SpinCo Distribution” and, together with the Internal Contribution, the “Internal Spin-Off”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Internal Spin-Off, KBR Holdings will transfer to Parent an amount in cash equal to the Distributed Internal SpinCo Borrowing Proceeds (the “Internal Cash Distribution”), which
will be used to repay historical debt of Parent;
WHEREAS, following the Internal Spin-Off, and pursuant to the Internal Reorganization, Parent will effect the Contribution and, in connection therewith, will contribute all of the issued and outstanding equity
interests of Internal SpinCo and the stock of Solutions Insurance Company to SpinCo in exchange for the Consideration;
WHEREAS, following the completion of the Internal Reorganization and the Contribution, Parent shall distribute, on a pro rata basis, to the Record Holders, in accordance with the Distribution Ratio, at least 80.1% of
the issued and outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock (such distribution, the “Distribution”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, following the Distribution, Parent may retain up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock (the “Retained Stock”), which shall be disposed of by Parent in a manner consistent with the
IRS Ruling;
WHEREAS, (i) the Parent Board has (x) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have a valid business purpose, are in furtherance of and consistent with Parent’s
business strategy and are in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders and (y) approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) the Board of Directors of SpinCo (the “SpinCo Board”) has approved this Agreement
and each of the Ancillary Agreements (to the extent SpinCo is a party thereto);
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution and the Distribution, and certain other agreements relating to the
relationship of Parent and SpinCo and their respective Subsidiaries following the Effective Time;
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements represent the integrated agreement of Parent and SpinCo relating to the Internal Reorganization, the Internal Contribution, the Internal
SpinCo Distribution, the Contribution, and the Distribution, are being entered into together, and would not have been entered into independently; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and in each case, qualifying for such treatment under the corresponding provisions of state law): (i) the Internal Contribution
and the Internal SpinCo Distribution, taken together, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) the Contribution and the
Distribution, taken together, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361, and 368 of the
Code and within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-2(g).

licenses, permits and authorizations issued by any Governmental Entity or parts thereof as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Contract, including any Specified Government Contract, or other Asset
shall be transferred if it would violate applicable Law or, in the case of any Contract, the rights of any third party to such Contract; provided that Section 2.3 and Section 2.5, to the extent provided therein, shall apply
thereto.
(e) Prior Actions. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that certain of the Transfers referenced in Section 2.2(b) or Assumptions referenced in Section 2.2(c) have occurred prior
to the date hereof and, as a result, no additional Transfers or Assumptions by any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, shall be deemed to occur upon (or be required by virtue of) the execution of this Agreement with
respect thereto. Moreover, to the extent that any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, is liable for any Parent Retained Liability or SpinCo Liability, respectively, by operation of law immediately following any Transfer
in accordance with this Agreement or any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, there shall be no need for any other member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, to Assume such Liability in connection with the operation of Section
2.2(c) and, accordingly, no other member of such Group shall Assume such Liability in connection with Section 2.2(c).
(f) IT Separation Plan. The Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respect Group to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the IT Separation at or prior to the Effective
Time in accordance with the IT Separation Plan. Any aspects of the IT Separation Plan that are not completed prior to the Separation Date will be addressed through the Transition Services Agreement.
Section 2.3 Treatment of Shared Contracts and Shared SAP Business Records. Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Sections 2.2(a) and (b):
(a) Unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.3 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, or, in the case
of a Specified Government Contract, the applicable Party has been recognized as successor in interest to the Specified Government Contract pursuant to Section 2.9(b) herein, any Shared Contract shall be assigned in part to the applicable
member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, at or after the Effective Time, so that each Party or the members of their respective Groups as of the Effective Time shall be entitled to the rights and
benefits, and shall Assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to their respective Businesses (each, a “Partial Assignment”); provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to
assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such
consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled), and (y) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, cannot be amended or has not for any other reason been assigned or amended, or if such assignment
or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, (A) at the reasonable request of the Party (or the member of such Party’s Group) to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part, the Party for
which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Parent Retained Asset or SpinCo Asset shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, for a period ending not later than twelve (12) months after the Distribution Date (unless the term of a
Shared Contract (excluding any extensions thereof) ends at a later date, in which case for a period ending on such date), take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause such member of the SpinCo Group or the Parent Group, as the case
may be, to receive the benefit of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Portion”) or the Parent Retained Business (the “Parent Portion”), as the case may be (in each case, to the extent
so related) as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to (or amended to allow) a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3 and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may
arise by reason of such arrangement) as if such Liabilities had been Assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3 (such that the Parties are in the same net economic position as they would have been in had such
Liabilities been Assumed by the applicable member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3); provided that the Party for which such Shared Contract is a Parent Retained Asset or an SpinCo Asset, as applicable, shall be
indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to
such Shared Contract, as the case may be, and (B) the Party to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a separate contract pursuant to which it procures such rights and
obligations as are necessary such that it no longer needs to avail itself of the arrangements provided pursuant to this Section 2.3(a); provided that, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Parent Retained
Asset or SpinCo Asset, and such Party’s applicable Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any actions or omissions taken in accordance with clause (y) of this Section 2.3(a). To the extent that the
Parties cannot effect a Partial Assignment in accordance with this Section 2.3(a), or cannot implement the arrangements set forth in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to, if requested by any Party, following the Distribution and until the earlier of one year after the Distribution Date and such time as the Partial Assignment of such Shared Contract as contemplated by the foregoing is effected, seek
mutually acceptable alternative arrangements (including subcontracting, sublicensing, subleasing or back-to-back agreement) for the purpose of allocating rights, liabilities and obligations to each Group under such Shared Contract reflecting the
principles set forth in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence (an “Acceptable Alternative Arrangement”).
(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required Consents to complete a Partial Assignment
of any Shared Contract as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Partial Assignment of any Shared Contract or Acceptable Alternative Arrangement shall be completed if it would violate any
applicable Law or the rights of any third party to such Shared Contract and (ii) none of Parent, SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Group shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or pay any money (unless such
Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party) or otherwise grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to (x) obtain any new Contract or Partial Assignment with respect to any Shared
Contract, as the case may be or (y) obtain any Consent necessary to enter into an Acceptable Alternative Arrangement.
(c) Unless otherwise determined by Parent in its sole discretion, each of Parent and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, (A) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared
Contract inuring to its respective Businesses as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, and that has been Assumed by, as applicable, such Party as of the Effective Time and (B) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or
otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).
(d) In conjunction with the IT Separation and transfer of SpinCo IT Assets and SpinCo Business Records, the Parent Group will transfer to SpinCo a copy of the SAP repository containing the Shared SAP Business
Records. SpinCo agrees to: (i) permit SpinCo personnel to access and use the Shared SAP Business Records solely on a need to know basis as necessary for operation of the SpinCo Business (e.g., in order to process DBA Claims); (ii) maintain the
Shared SAP Business Records within the SAP repository and not copy, distribute, or disclose the Shared SAP Business Records with any other Person (except sharing individual records related to the SpinCo business as required to perform the functions
described in (i), above); (iii) maintain the confidentiality and security of the Shared SAP Business Records using the same level of information security and controls as SpinCo applies with respect to SpinCo’s other confidential Business Records
and systems, and in any event not less than the level of information security as was applied to such Shared SAP Business Records by the Parent Group prior to the Separation Date.
Section 2.4 Intercompany Accounts, Loans and Agreements.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.4(b), in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 5.1, SpinCo and each member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and Parent and each
member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate any and all agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or not in writing, between or among SpinCo and/or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and
Parent and/or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, effective as of the Effective Time. No such terminated agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination)
shall be of any further force or effect after the Effective Time. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.
(b) The provisions of Section 2.4(a) shall not apply to any of the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to any of the provisions thereof): (i) any Continuing
Arrangements; (ii) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any Person other than the Parties or any members of their respective Groups is a party; (iii) any intercompany accounts payable, accounts receivable or other
indebtedness accrued or otherwise outstanding as of the Effective Time that are reflected in the books and records of the Parties or otherwise documented in writing in accordance with past practices, which shall be settled in the manner
contemplated by Section 2.4(c); (iv) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or SpinCo, as the case may be, is a party (it being understood that directors’ qualifying
shares or similar interests shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned); and (v) any Shared Contracts.
(c) All of the intercompany accounts receivable, accounts payable and other indebtedness between any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, accrued
or otherwise outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, be repaid, settled or otherwise eliminated by means of cash payments, a dividend, capital contribution, a combination of the foregoing, or otherwise as determined by
Parent in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 2.5 Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.
(a) To the extent that any Transfers of any Assets (including the capital stock or other equity interest of any members of the SpinCo Group and/or the Parent Group) or Assumptions of any Liabilities
contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time (such Assets subject to such delayed Transfer, the “Deferred Assets” and such Liabilities subject to such delayed Assumptions, the “Deferred
Liabilities,” in each case including any Assets and Liabilities subject to delayed transfer pursuant to the Separation Plan), the Parties shall, except as contemplated by the Separation Plan, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such
Transfers or Assumptions as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law
cannot be Transferred or Assumed; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary
Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that
any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated by the Effective Time, unless the benefits of any Deferred Asset are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, from and after the
Effective Time, (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Deferred Assets shall thereafter, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold)
such Deferred Assets in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto), and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its
Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Deferred Liabilities for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Deferred Liabilities, as if the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities had Assumed such
Deferred Liabilities at the Effective Time and such that the Parties are in the same net economic position as they would have been in if the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities had Assumed such Deferred Liabilities. To the extent
the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the
treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, to the extent applicable. In addition, unless the benefits of any Deferred Asset are expressly conveyed to the applicable
Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, the Party retaining such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat or operate, insofar as reasonably possible and to
the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Deferred
Assets are to be Transferred or by the Party which is to Assume such Deferred Liabilities, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Deferred Assets
or Deferred Liabilities had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and
gain, and dominion, control and command over such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group entitled to the receipt of such
Deferred Assets or required to Assume such Deferred Liabilities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.9(c), each Party shall be deemed to have
acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Deferred Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the
Deferred Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of Assumption of any Liability
pursuant to Section 2.5(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this
Agreement (including Section 2.2) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.
(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or otherwise shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the
foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Person intended to be subject to such
Deferred Liabilities, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Person
intended to be subject to such Deferred Liabilities and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or
relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, as the case may be. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of Parent or SpinCo or any of member their respective
Groups shall be required to commence any litigation or otherwise grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party with respect to any Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, (i) neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required by this Section 2.5
to take any action that may, in the good faith judgment of Parent, (x) result in a violation of any obligation which Parent or any such Subsidiary has to any third party or (y) violate applicable Law, and (ii) neither SpinCo nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required by this Section 2.5 to take any action that may, in the good faith judgment of SpinCo, (x) result in a violation of any obligation which SpinCo or any such Subsidiary has to any third party or (y) violate
applicable Law.
(e) The failure to obtain a Consent shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude consideration of a
Party’s efforts in pursuing such Consent for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 2.5.
(f) Unless otherwise determined by Parent in its sole discretion, with respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.5(a), each of Parent and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members
of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the Deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Deferred Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the Deferred Liabilities as
liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Deferred Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such
treatment (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).
Section 2.6 Wrong Pockets; Mail & Other Communications; Payments.
(a) Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 2.5, (i) if at any time within thirty-six (36) months after the Distribution Date, any Party discovers that any SpinCo
Asset is held by any member of the Parent Group or any of its respective then-Affiliates, Parent shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group and its and their then-Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly
procure the Transfer of the relevant SpinCo Asset to SpinCo or an Affiliate of SpinCo designated by SpinCo for no additional consideration; or (ii) if at any time within thirty-six (36) months after the Distribution, any Party discovers that any
Parent Retained Asset is held by any member of the SpinCo Group or any of its then-Affiliates, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members, its Group and its and their respective then-Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best
efforts to promptly procure the Transfer of the relevant Parent Retained Asset to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent designated by Parent for no additional consideration; provided that in the case of clause (i), neither Parent nor
any of its Affiliates, or in the case of clause (ii), neither SpinCo nor any of its Affiliates, shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or pay any money (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party) or otherwise grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party. If reasonably practicable and permitted under applicable Law, such Transfer may be effected by rescission of the applicable portion of a
Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument as may be agreed by the relevant Parties.
(b) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any other member of its Group and any of its or their respective then-Affiliates) may receive mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications
properly belonging to the other Party (or any other member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party (and each other member of its Group and any of its or their respective then-Affiliates) is hereby authorized
to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Section 2.6(b), open all mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications received by such Party (or any other member of
its Group and any of its or their respective then-Affiliates) that belongs to such other Party (or any other member of such other Party’s Group), and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party (or any other member
of its Group), the receiving Party shall (or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to) promptly deliver such mail, packages, electronic mail or any other written communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the
receiving Party or the other Party, copies thereof) to such other Party (or the applicable member of such other Party’s Group) as provided for in Section 9.6; it being understood that if a Party (or any other member of its Group) receives a
telephone call that relates to the business of the other Party (or any other member of such other Party’s Group), then the receiving Party shall inform the person making such telephone call to contact the other Party. The provisions of this Section
2.6(b) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party or any other member of either Group (or any of their Affiliates from time to time) to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf
and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party or any other member of such other Party’s Group or any of their respective then-Affiliates for service of process purposes.
(c) After the Distribution, SpinCo shall, or shall cause the other members of its Group and its and any of its respective then-Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Parent
(or its designee) any monies or checks that have been received by SpinCo (or another member of its Group or its or its respective then-Affiliates) after the Distribution to the extent they are (or represent the proceeds of) a Parent Retained
Asset (it being understood and agreed that any such amounts shall be paid and delivered on a monthly basis for the first six (6) months following the Distribution Date, and thereafter on a quarterly basis, in each case to the applicable members
of the Parent Group).
(d) After the Distribution, Parent shall, or shall cause the other members of its Group and its and any of its respective then-Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to SpinCo
(or its designee) any monies or checks that have been received by Parent (or another member of its Group or its or its respective then-Affiliates) after the Distribution to the extent they are (or represent the proceeds of) a SpinCo Asset (it
being understood and agreed that any such amounts shall be paid and delivered on a monthly basis for the first six (6) months following the Distribution Date, and thereafter on a quarterly basis, in each case to the applicable members of the
Parent Group).
Section 2.7 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement and the
Separation Plan, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities (to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof), any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the
valid and effective Transfer to the applicable Party (or the applicable member of such Party’s Group) of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its Assumed
Liabilities for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties
shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property, if any, by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. The
Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to
Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.
Section 2.8 Further Assurances; Ancillary Agreements.
(a) In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.5,
each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, at and after the Effective Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to
do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at and after the Effective Time, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party (except
as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii), 2.5(c) and 2.5(d)) from and after the Effective Time, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including
instruments of Transfer or title, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, any permit, license, Contract, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take
all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Party shall, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other Party (except as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii), 2.5(c) and 2.5(d)), take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party
such title and such rights as possessed by the transferring Party to the Assets allocated to such other Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest.
(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and SpinCo shall enter into, and/or (where applicable) shall cause a member or members of their respective Group to enter into, the Ancillary Agreements
and any other Contracts reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(d) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Parent and SpinCo in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are
reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Parent or Subsidiary of SpinCo, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(e) Following the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for recording the applicable assignment of SpinCo Intellectual Property to SpinCo or its designees with the
intellectual property offices and registrars and other similar authorities where SpinCo Intellectual Property is still recorded in the name of the Parent or any other member of the Parent Group. Upon SpinCo’s reasonable request after the
Distribution Date, Parent shall, and shall cause the other members of the Parent the Parent Group to, exercise its reasonable efforts to cooperate with SpinCo in connection therewith, at SpinCo’s expense in accordance with Section 9.5.
Section 2.9 Novation of Liabilities; Indemnification.
(a) Each Party, at the request of any member of the other Party’s Group (such other Party, the “Other Party”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Consent,
Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts, including but not limited to Specified Government Contracts (other than Shared
Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.3) and Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or Credit Support Instruments, which shall be governed by Section 2.10), but solely to the extent that the Parties are jointly
or each severally liable with regard to any such Contracts or Liabilities and such Contracts or Liabilities have been, in whole, but not in part, allocated to the first Party, or, if permitted by applicable Law, to obtain in writing the
unconditional release of the applicable Other Party so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to
pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party). In addition, with respect to any Action
where any Party is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the Other Party at its own cost will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or
Liabilities that the Other Party (or any other member of the Other Party’s Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the Other Party will cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other
related third party.
(b) Each Party shall undertake its commercially reasonable efforts to secure approval by the relevant Governmental Entity of the Other Party, or a Subsidiary or an entity that will be a Subsidiary thereof, as
successor-in-interest to each Specified Government Contract.
(i)
The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of materials for requesting novation of the Specified Government Contracts pursuant to Section 42.1204 of the FAR, or such other procedure as may
be prescribed by the relevant Governmental Entity;
(ii)
The named contractor entity will consult and coordinate as necessary with relevant Governmental Entities with respect to such novation request materials;
(iii)
Promptly following the Distribution Date, the Parties will deliver to the authorized contracting officer of the applicable Governmental Entity (or Governmental Entities) such novation request
materials, in accordance with the instructions of such contracting officer; and
(iv)
As mutually agreed, the Parties may enter into a Subcontract Pending Novation to memorialize the rights and responsibilities of each Party with respect to the Specified Government Contracts at
and after the Effective Time and prior to approval of the relevant novation request(s).
(c) Until such time that the Parties obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any required Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment referenced in Section 2.9(a) or Section
2.9(b), the Other Party or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party (or of any other member of such
Other Party’s Group) and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, the Party or another member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a
member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or such member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder as agent or subcontractor of such Other Party or such member of such Other
Party’s Group from and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Liable Party or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, as agent or subcontractor of the Other Party or the applicable member of
such Other Party’s Group, to the extent reasonably necessary to pay, perform and discharge fully any Liabilities, or retain the benefits (including pursuant to Section 2.5) associated with such Contract or license, is hereby granted the
right to, among other things, (i) prepare, execute and submit invoices under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (ii) send correspondence relating to matters under such
Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (iii) direct the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) to file Actions for the benefit of the Liable Party in
connection with such Contract or license and (iv) otherwise exercise all rights in respect of such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group); provided that (y) such actions
shall be taken in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) only to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing and (z) to the extent that there shall be a conflict between
the provisions of this Section 2.9(c) and the provisions of any more specific arrangement between a member of such Liable Party’s Group and a member of such Other Party’s Group, such more specific arrangement shall control. The Liable
Party shall indemnify members of the Other Party’s Group and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party’s Group pursuant to this Agreement) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the
Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party’s Group with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from the willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence of a
member of such Other Party’s Group in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities; it being understood that any exercise of rights under this Agreement by such Other Party shall not be deemed to be
willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the
direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any other member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such

SET FORTH HEREIN, IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CONTINUING ARRANGEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR OTHERWISE, IS
REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES CONTRIBUTED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL

disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.11(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States, both Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any Parent Retained Liability
or any SpinCo Liability, respectively, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the
disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and

governing each bank and brokerage account owned by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group (collectively, the “SpinCo Accounts”) and all contracts or agreements governing each bank or brokerage account owned by Parent or any other
member of the Parent Group (collectively, the “Parent Accounts”) so that each such SpinCo Account and Parent Account, if currently linked (whether by automatic withdrawal, automatic deposit or any other authorization to transfer funds from
or to) to any Parent Account or SpinCo Account, respectively, is delinked from such Parent Account or SpinCo Account, respectively.
(ii) It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.13(a)(i), (x) there will be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the SpinCo Accounts will be

shall be honored following the Effective Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.
(iv) As between Parent and SpinCo (and the other members of their respective Groups), all payments made to and reimbursements, credits, returns, or rebates received after the Effective Time by either Party
(or other member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or other member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, promptly following
receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, credit, return or rebate such Party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement without

Asset and all Cash Equivalents held by any member of the Parent Group as of the Effective Time shall be a Parent Retained Asset. To the extent that following the Effective Time any Cash Equivalents are required to be transferred from any member of
the Parent Group to any member of the SpinCo Group or from any member of the SpinCo Group to any member of the Parent Group to make effective the Internal Reorganization or the Contribution pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
(including if required by Law or regulation to effect the foregoing, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of Cash Equivalents contemplated by Section 2.13(d)), the Party receiving such Cash Equivalents shall promptly
transfer an amount in cash equal to such transferred Cash Equivalents back to the transferring Party so as not to override the allocations of Assets, Liabilities and expenses related to the Internal Reorganization and the Contribution contemplated
by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(such issuance, the “Consideration”).

Section 2.14 Transition Committee. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall establish a transition committee (the “Transition Committee”) that shall consist of representatives from each of

Ancillary Agreements, with each such subcommittee comprised of one (1) or more members of the Transition Committee or one (1) or more employees of either Party or any other member of its respective Group, and each such subcommittee having such
scope of responsibility as may be determined by the Transition Committee from time to time; (b) delegate to any such subcommittee any of the powers of the Transition Committee; (c) combine, modify the scope of responsibility of, and disband any
such subcommittee; (d) modify or reverse any such delegations and (e) establish or modify procedures of the Transition Committee or any subcommittee thereof. The Transition Committee shall initially meet at least monthly either via telephone or
video conference or as otherwise agreed by the members of the Transition Committee. All decisions by the Transition Committee or any subcommittee thereof shall be effective only if mutually agreed by both Parties. The initial members of the

ARTICLE III
THE DISTRIBUTION AND ACTIONS PENDING THE DISTRIBUTION; OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Section 3.1 Distribution. At or prior to the Effective Time, in connection with the Distribution and the Contribution, SpinCo shall pay the Consideration to Parent (and Parent and SpinCo shall take or
cause to be taken such other appropriate actions to ensure that Parent has the requisite number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock) and take any other action as may be requested by Parent in order to effect the Distribution. Subject to the
conditions and other terms set forth in this Article III, Parent shall cause the Distribution Agent on the Distribution Date to make the Distribution, including by crediting the appropriate number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock to
book-entry accounts for each Record Holder or designated transferee or transferees of such Record Holder. For Record Holders who own Parent Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of SpinCo Common Stock will be credited to
their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. No action by any Record Holder (or such Record Holder’s designated transferee or transferees) shall be necessary to receive the applicable number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock (and, if
applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.
Section 3.2 Fractional Shares. Record Holders who, after aggregating the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date,
would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of SpinCo Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to
book-entry accounts. Parent shall direct the Distribution Agent to, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of SpinCo Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder, (b)
aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of Record Holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share
interests, and (c) distribute to each such Record Holder, or for the benefit of each beneficial owner of shares that would otherwise entitle the holder thereof to receive a fraction of a share of SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution, such Record
Holder’s or beneficial owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of SpinCo Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable
transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokerage fees and commissions. Such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution
Agent. None of Parent, SpinCo or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of SpinCo Common Stock. Neither Parent nor SpinCo will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares.
The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the
selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of Parent or SpinCo.
Section 3.3 Actions in Connection with the Distribution.

(iii)
Parent shall have the right not to complete the Distribution if, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Board shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that the Distribution is
not in the best interests of Parent or its stockholders, that a sale or other alternative is in the best interests of Parent or its stockholders or that it is not advisable at that time for SpinCo Business to separate from Parent.
Section 3.5 Cooperation Regarding the Distribution. SpinCo shall cooperate with Parent in all respects to accomplish the Distribution and shall, at Parent’s direction, promptly take any and all actions
necessary or desirable to effect the Distribution, including the filing of any necessary documents with the Commission, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise. Parent shall select any investment bank(s), manager(s),

Distribution. SpinCo and Parent, as the case may be, will provide to the Distribution Agent all share certificates (to the extent certificated) or book-entry authorizations (to the extent not certificated), and SpinCo will provide to Parent and
the Distribution Agent (as directed by Parent) any information required, in each case in order to complete the Distribution.
Section 3.6 Conditions to Distribution. Subject to Section 3.4, the obligation of Parent to consummate the Distribution is subject to the prior or simultaneous satisfaction, or, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, waiver by Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, of the following conditions. None of SpinCo, any other member of the SpinCo Group, or any third party shall have any right or claim to require the consummation of
the Distribution, which shall be effected at the sole discretion of the Parent Board. Any determination made by Parent prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section
3.6 shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. The conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Parent or the Parent Board to waive or not waive any such condition.

Names, for a period of up to six (6) months immediately following Distribution Date, solely in a manner that complies with all applicable Laws and is consistent with the manner used in the operation of the SpinCo Business immediately prior to
Distribution Date and complies with Parent’s quality control brand guidelines, as updated from time to time by Parent; provided that, following the Distribution Date, unless otherwise directed by Parent, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the
members of the SpinCo Group to: (i) immediately cease to hold themselves out as having any affiliation with Parent or any other member of the Parent Group (provided that this obligation shall not apply to inventory of printed materials of the
SpinCo Group existing as of the Distribution Date); (ii) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than six (6) months following the Distribution Date, (A) cease to make any use of any Parent Retained Names, and (B) remove, strike over, or
otherwise obliterate all Parent Retained Names from all assets and other materials displayed or intended for distribution by any member of the SpinCo Group, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials,
displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems; and (iii) promptly after the Distribution Date post a disclaimer in a form and manner reasonably acceptable to Parent on the
“www.SpinCo.com” website informing its customers that SpinCo, and not Parent, is responsible for the operation of the SpinCo Business, including such website and any applicable services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section
4.2(b) shall prohibit or prevent the SpinCo Group’s use of Parent Retained Names on internal historical documents held as of the Distribution Date, in a descriptive or factually accurate manner constituting fair or other permitted
non-trademark use, or for similar purposes, in each case, that would not, even in the absence of a license or similar permission, constitute infringement or any other violation of a Trademark under applicable Law. SpinCo Group shall not file for
trademark protection anywhere in the world for any mark containing any Parent Retained Names and/or that is confusingly similar to such Parent Retained Names.
(c) SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to, use the Parent Retained Names following the Distribution Date only in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, of that in
effect for the Parent Retained Names as of the Distribution Date. SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group shall not use the Parent Retained Names in a manner that may reflect negatively on the Parent Retained Names or the goodwill associated
therewith, or on Parent or any other member of the Parent Group. Parent shall have the right to terminate the foregoing license, effective immediately, if any member of the SpinCo Group fails to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or
otherwise fails to comply with any reasonable direction of Parent in relation to use of the Parent Retained Names. SpinCo shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and the members of the Parent Group from and against any and all
Indemnifiable Losses arising from or relating to the use by any member of the SpinCo Group of the Parent Retained Names pursuant to Section 4.2(b).
(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 4.2 would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to
limit any additional remedies that may be available, Parent and the members of the Parent Group shall be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or
other undertaking, in any Action which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 4.2.
Section 4.3 No Restriction on Competition. It is the explicit intent of each of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall not include any non-competition or other similar restrictive
arrangements with respect to the range of business activities which may be conducted by the Parties. Accordingly, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to create any explicit or
implied restriction or other limitation on (i) the ability of any Party to engage in any business or other activity which competes with the business of the other Party or (ii) the ability of any Party to engage in any specific line of business or
engage in any business activity in any specific geographic area.
Section 4.4 No Hire and No Solicitation of Employees. From and after the Distribution Date until the date that is six (6) months from the Distribution Date, none of Parent, SpinCo or any other member
of their respective Groups will, without the prior written consent of the other applicable Party, either directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, agree to an employment, contractual or other relationship
or otherwise hire, retain or employ any employee or consultant of the other Party’s respective Group. From and after the Distribution Date until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Distribution Date, none of Parent, SpinCo or any other
member of their respective Groups will, without the prior written consent of the other applicable Party, either directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, aid, induce or encourage any employee or
consultant of any other Party’s respective Group to leave his or her employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.4 shall restrict or preclude Parent, SpinCo or any other member of their respective Groups from
soliciting or hiring (i) during the non-solicitation period referenced above, any employee who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement or contact by a search firm or employment agency that is not specifically targeted or focused on the
employees employed by the other Party’s respective Group (and nothing shall prohibit such generalized searches for employees, including the use of advertisements in the media or the engagement of search firms to engage in such searches; provided
that the applicable Party has not encouraged or advised such firm to approach any such employee); (ii) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the other Party’s respective Group; or (iii) any employee whose employment has been
terminated by such employee after sixty (60) days from the date of termination of such employee’s employment.

may be a corporate opportunity for both Parent or any other member of Parent Group and SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, neither Parent nor any other member of Parent Group, nor any director or officer of Parent or any other member of

breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of SpinCo or an officer or director thereof by reason of the fact that Parent or any other member of Parent Group pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate
opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group.
(b) In the event that SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, or any director or officer of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, acquires knowledge of a
potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Parent or any other member of the Parent Group and SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, neither SpinCo nor any other member of the SpinCo Group, nor any
director or officer of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Parent or any other member of the Parent Group and shall not be liable to Parent or any other
member of the Parent Group or to Parent’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Parent or an officer or director thereof by reason of the fact that SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group pursues or acquires
such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to Parent or any other member of the Parent Group.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 4.5, “corporate opportunities” of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group shall include business opportunities that are, by
their nature, in a line of business of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, are of practical advantage to them and are ones in which SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in
which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group or any of their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, and
“corporate opportunities” of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group shall include business opportunities that are, by their nature, in a line of business of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, are of practical advantage to
them and are ones in which Parent or any other member of the Parent Group have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group or any of
their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group.
Section 4.6 Facility and Personnel Clearances. From and after the date hereof, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the continuation of facility clearances and personnel

such clearances.

(a) License to SpinCo. Effective as of the Distribution Time, and subject to the provisions hereof, Parent and each member of the Parent Group hereby grant to the SpinCo Group a worldwide, fully
paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-transferable (except as provided pursuant to Section 4.8(d)), perpetual, non-exclusive license under (i) the Patents that are owned or controlled by the Parent Group and that are Practiced by the
SpinCo Business in each case as of the Distribution Date to make, have made, import, use, offer to sell, sell and otherwise provide any products or services of the SpinCo Business, including to practice any method, process or procedures claimed in
any such Patents, in each case, solely with respect to the conduct of the SpinCo Business, in substantially the same manner and for substantially the same purposes as used in the SpinCo Business prior to the Distribution Date and the reasonable and
natural evolutions thereof after the Distribution Date and (ii) all Intellectual Property (other than Patents and Trademarks) that are owned or controlled by the Parent Group as of the Distribution Date to use, reproduce, distribute, disclose,
make, modify, improve, display and perform (publicly and otherwise, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions), copy, create derivative works of, and otherwise exploit such Intellectual Property, solely in connection with the conduct
of the SpinCo Business, in substantially the same manner and for substantially the same purposes, as used in the SpinCo Business prior to the Distribution Date (and the reasonable and natural evolutions thereof after the Distribution Date), it
being understood that the foregoing license does not and shall not require the delivery or disclosure to any member of the SpinCo Group of any tangible or intangible assets that are not SpinCo Assets. For purposes of this Section 4.8, the
term “control” or “controlled” shall mean having the legal authority to grant this license under the relevant Intellectual Property without violating the terms of any associated license grant from a third party and without triggering any
requirement to obtain a Consent or any additional payment obligations under such license.
(b) License to Company. Effective as of the Distribution Date, and subject to the provisions hereof, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group hereby grant to the Parent Group a worldwide,
fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-transferable (except as provided pursuant to Section 4.8(d)), perpetual, non-exclusive license under (i) the Patents included in the SpinCo Intellectual Property to make, have made, import, use,
offer to sell, sell and otherwise provide any product or service, including to practice any method, process or procedures claimed in any such Patents, in each case, solely with respect to the conduct of the Parent Retained Business, in
substantially the same manner and for substantially the same purposes as used in the Parent Business prior to the Distribution Date and the reasonable and natural evolutions thereof after the Distribution Date and (ii) the SpinCo Intellectual
Property (other than Patents and Trademarks included therein) to use, reproduce, distribute, disclose, make, modify, improve, display and perform (publicly and otherwise, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions), copy, create
derivative works of, and otherwise exploit such SpinCo Intellectual Property and SpinCo Technology in connection with the conduct of the Parent Retained Business, it being understood that the foregoing license does not and shall not require the
delivery or disclosure to the Parent or any member of the Parent Group of any tangible or intangible assets that are SpinCo Assets.
(c) Sublicensing. Each Party in its capacity as the licensee of the rights or licenses granted to it pursuant to under this Section 4.8 (“Licensee Party”) may sublicense the license and
rights granted to it under Section 4.8(a)(ii) and Section 4.8(b)(ii), respectively, freely to a third party in connection with the operation of the Licensee Party’s business or to a Divested Entity. The Patent licenses set forth in
Section 4.8(a)(i) and Section 4.8(b)(i) are not sublicensable, except as provided in Section 4.8(e).
(d) Transfer of Licenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Licensee Party may assign or transfer the licenses granted to it pursuant to this Section 4.8 directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Licensee Party may assign, in whole or in relevant part, such licenses to a third party, or permit a third party to assume such license, in connection with any transfer of all or any part of the SpinCo Business or the Parent Retained Business, as
applicable, or a product line of such Licensee Party (regardless of the form of transaction or series of transactions). Any assignment in violation of this Section 4.8(d) shall be null and void from the beginning.
(e) Rights to Subsidiaries.
(i)
Any rights or licenses granted under this Section 4.8 extend to each entity that is a Party’s Subsidiary but only for so long as such entity is a Subsidiary and, accordingly, except as
provided in Section 4.8(e)(ii) the license to such entity shall terminate upon such entity ceasing to be a Subsidiary of such Party.
(ii)
Notwithstanding the limitations on sublicensing set forth in Section 4.8(c), if a Licensee Party divests a Subsidiary or business unit (including in a sale to a third party or in a
public offering) such that such entity is no longer a Subsidiary (a “Divested Entity”), upon providing written notice of such divestiture to the other Party, the Licensee Party may grant the Divested Entity a sub-license under the licenses
granted to the Licensee Party pursuant to this Section 4.8, but only in connection with the products and services offered by such Divested Entity at the time it ceased to be a Subsidiary of the Licensee Party, and natural evolutions of such
products or services that are of the same general type. Such sublicense grant to a Divested Entity in accordance with the foregoing shall not affect or limit the licenses granted to any Licensee Party or the obligations and duties of any Licensee
Party hereunder.
(f) Confidentiality. Notwithstanding the grant of any license to a Trade Secret or other proprietary right in confidential information to a Licensee Party hereunder, each Licensee Party agrees on
behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries that it and (each of its Subsidiaries) shall (i) treat the Trade Secrets and confidential information licensed or disclosed to it hereunder with at least the same degree of care as they treat their own similar
Trade Secrets and confidential information, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and (ii) not use or disclose such Trade Secrets or confidential information, as applicable, except in accordance with its respective license granted in this
Section 4.8. Nothing herein will limit either Party’s ability to enforce its rights against any third party that misappropriates or attempts to misappropriate any Trade Secret or confidential information from it, regardless of whether it is
an owner or licensee of such Trade Secret or confidential information.
(g) Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted to a Party as licensee hereunder are, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”),
licenses of intellectual property within the scope of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The licensor acknowledges that the licensee, as a licensee of such rights and licenses hereunder, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and
elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable Law excuses such Party from accepting performance from or
rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor-in-possession as a basis for opposing assumption of this Agreement in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. §
365(c)(1) or any successor statute.

(i) theft of Parent Know-How or (ii) intentional criminal acts by any such officers, directors, managers, agents or employees.

Group in respect of any SpinCo Released Liabilities; provided, however that for purposes of this Section 5.1(a)(ii), the members of the SpinCo Group shall also release and discharge any officers or other employees of any
member of the Parent Group, to the extent any such officers or employees served as a director, manager or officer of any members of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time, from any and all Liability, obligation or responsibility for any and
all past actions or failures to take action, in each case in their capacity as a director, manager or officer of any such member of the SpinCo Group, prior to the Effective Time, including actions or failures to take action that may be deemed to
have been negligent or grossly negligent.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement, including Section 5.1(a), Section 2.4 or Section 2.5, shall impair or otherwise affect any right of any
Party and, as applicable, a member of such Party’s Group, as well as their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements,

(iii)
any Liability with respect to any Continuing Arrangements;
(iv)

Action or permit any other member of their respective Group to bring any Action against a Person released in Section 5.1(a) with respect to such Liability.
In addition, nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) shall release: (i) Parent from indemnifying any director, manager, officer or employee of the SpinCo Group who was a director, manager, officer or employee of Parent or any of its
Affiliates prior to the Distribution Date, as the case may be, to the extent such director, manager, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to
then-existing obligations; it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a SpinCo Liability, SpinCo shall indemnify Parent for such Liability (including Parent’s costs to indemnify the director, manager,
officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V; and (ii) SpinCo from indemnifying any director, manager, officer or employee of the Parent Group who was a director, officer or employee of SpinCo or any of

Group, as applicable) shall be indemnified for all Liabilities incurred in connection with such Action in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V.

Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Parent shall and shall cause the other members of the Parent Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SpinCo Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable
Losses of the SpinCo Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Parent Retained Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Parent Group or any other Person to pay,
perform or otherwise discharge any Parent Retained Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, or (b) any breach by Parent of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.
Section 5.3 Indemnification by SpinCo. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement
or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, SpinCo shall and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the

discharge any SpinCo Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time, or (b) any breach by SpinCo of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement
expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.
Section 5.4 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) Direct Claims. Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 5.4(b), each Parent Indemnitee and SpinCo Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall
notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article
V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known,
and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the
failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The
Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 5.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in
such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be
resolved in accordance with Article VII.
(b) Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by
the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days or (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable
response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the
preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee
shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third
Party Claim. For all purposes of this Section 5.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 1.1(171)(viii).
(c) Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section
2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, (A) if it so chooses, to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, or
(B) if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and with such
Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, in each case within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation by an Indemnitee or (z) seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee
(unless the injunctive or equitable relief being sought is solely ancillary or incidental to the Third Party Claim, and, if granted, would not have a material adverse impact on the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s business); provided further that,
prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee are true, the
Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of
defending such Third Party Claim, (1) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim were not true in any or all material
respects and (2) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such
acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee shall have
the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense,
compromise or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent
Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of
interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect
to such matter. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be
made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or
compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such
settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee and its Affiliates in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party, (C) does not include any injunctive or
equitable relief, and (D) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.
(d) If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the
defense of such Third Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third Party Claim
by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third Party
Claim, is not permitted to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 5.4(b), and the
Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable and
documented fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(e) If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the thirty (30)-day period specified in Section 5.4(c) (including if the
Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense pursuant to Section 5.4(c)), the Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnitee shall not settle such
Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(f) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.4, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an
Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article V against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of
doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article V shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4, the terms of the
Ancillary Agreement will govern with respect to indemnification thereunder.
(h) The provisions of this Article V shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement.
(i) There shall be no requirement under this Section 5.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for
Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Parent Retained Liabilities and partly SpinCo Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant
to the procedures set forth in Article VII. Neither Party shall, and each Party shall cause each other member of its Group not to, file third party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a
Third Party Claim is being resolved.
(j) Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, its Subsidiaries or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense
against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (i) the assumption of any SpinCo Liabilities by the SpinCo Group on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (ii) the retention of any Parent Retained Liabilities by the Parent Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason, or (iii) the provisions of this Article V are void or unenforceable for any reason.
Section 5.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.
(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups or their respective then-Affiliates) in any material respect due to the allocation of
Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense
(in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be
consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall derogate from any
Party’s rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 5.4.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i) by a Governmental Entity against SpinCo relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money
laundering, export control and similar Laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Effective Time or (ii) where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, could include any
condition, limitation or other stipulation that could, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, adversely impact the conduct of the Parent Retained Businesses, Parent shall have, at Parent’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and
comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by SpinCo to any third party involved in such Action
(including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that Parent’s participation does not affect any Privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such Action requires the submission by SpinCo of any content
relating to any current or former officer, director or manager of Parent, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Parent in its reasonable discretion. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii),
Parent shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any notices or reports to be submitted to, or reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements to be made with, any
Governmental Entity by SpinCo or its Subsidiaries (“Governmental Filing”) where the Governmental Filing requires disclosure of facts, information or data that relate, in whole or in part, to periods prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall
have the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on the preparation and content of any such Governmental Filing in advance of its submission to a Governmental Entity, and SpinCo shall in good faith consider and take into account any
comments so provided by Parent with respect to such Governmental Filing.
(d) Each of Parent and SpinCo agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any other member of such Parties’
respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which a named Party (or any other member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.
Section 5.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article
V shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article V) by the Indemnifying Party
to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with
respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities.
Section 5.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.
(a) Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received (net of any
out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof or Taxes imposed with respect thereto) by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (which such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Party’s
then cost of short-term borrowing, of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof or Taxes imposed with respect thereto)
by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to
this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related
Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party
Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds
had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) Any Indemnity Payment shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 5.4(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to
such Indemnity Payment (but net of any Tax benefits resulting from the payment of such Taxes), the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.
(c) The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation
rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit
they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained
in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in
collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not
delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not
attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
Section 5.8 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third
Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.8, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such
Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and Parent and each other member of the Parent Group, on the
other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the Distribution Disclosure Documents or other securities
law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the
SpinCo Business or a member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, or the Parent Retained Business or a member of the Parent Group, on the other hand.
Section 5.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.
(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the
knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the Distribution.
(b) The rights and obligations of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the SpinCo Group, in each case, under this Article V shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its
Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its
Subsidiaries.
ARTICLE VI
PRESERVATION OF RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION;
CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE
Section 6.1 Preservation of Corporate Records. Except as otherwise required or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts, at such Party’s sole cost and expense, to retain any Information (to the extent in the Party’s possession at the Effective Time) referenced in Section 6.2, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information
is no longer required to be retained pursuant to the applicable record retention policy of Parent or such other member of the Parent Group, respectively, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including pursuant to any “litigation
hold” issued by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a
pending or threatened Action which is known to the members of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, and
(iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Entity which is known to the members of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as
applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Effective Time,
clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “litigation hold” by the other
Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. The Parties agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the SpinCo Business, the Parent Retained Businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby be
retained in connection with an Action, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party.
Section 6.2 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article V (in which event the provisions of such Article V shall govern) or
for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) and subject to appropriate restrictions for Privileged Information or Confidential Information:
(a) After the Effective Time, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable request by, and at the expense of, SpinCo for specific and identified
Information:

Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which Parent and/or SpinCo are parties, Parent shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if
SpinCo has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of SpinCo; provided
that, to the extent any originals are delivered to SpinCo pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, SpinCo shall, at its own expense, return them to Parent within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided,
further, that, such obligation to provide any requested Information shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date that is the first anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided, further, that, in the
event that Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information would violate any Law or Contract with a third party or could reasonably result in the waiver of any Privilege, Parent shall not be
obligated to provide such Information requested by SpinCo and the Parties shall take all reasonable measures (and, to the extent applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent from any third party required to make such
disclosure without violating a Contract with a third party) to permit compliance with such Information request in a manner that avoids any such harm, violation or consequence; or
(ii)

disclosure without violating a Contract with a third party) to permit compliance with such Information request in a manner that avoids any such harm, violation or consequence.
(b) After the Effective Time, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable request by, and at the expense of, Parent for specific and identified
Information:
(i)
that (x) relates to matters prior to the Effective Time or (y) is necessary for Parent to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, any Ancillary Agreement to which Parent and/or

measures (and, to the extent applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent from any third party required to make such disclosure without violating a Contract with a third party) to permit compliance with such

requirements, as applicable, SpinCo shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Parent has a reasonable need for such originals) in the
possession or control of SpinCo or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of Parent; provided that, to the extent any originals are delivered to
Parent pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Parent shall, at its own expense, return them to SpinCo within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided, further that, in the event that SpinCo, in

and the Parties shall take all reasonable measures (and, to the extent applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent from any third party required to make such disclosure without violating a Contract with a third
party) to permit compliance with such Information request in a manner that avoids any such harm, violation or consequence.
(c) Each of Parent and SpinCo shall inform their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives who

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the first SpinCo fiscal year end occurring during the year in which the Distribution occurs (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as
required for each of Parent and SpinCo to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution occurs), each of Parent and SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s Information requests to enable: (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its
disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete
their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment
thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Commission’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws.
(e) The Party providing Information pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall only be obligated to provide such Information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall
such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.2 shall expand the obligations of either Party under Section 6.1 or impose
any information retention obligations in addition to those under Section 6.1. Where Information is to be transferred by physical delivery at or after the Effective Time, the transferring Party shall procure that such Information is
available for collection at the location at which such Information is being stored at that time, or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, such that there shall be no requirement on either Party to move transferring Information from one location
to another in order to effect the transfer.
Section 6.3 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon
reasonable written request by such other Party, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, managers, employees and agents (taking into account the business demands of such individuals) as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may
reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions in which one or more members of one Group is
adverse to one or more members of the other Group) and (ii) there is no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 6.3 shall be entitled to
receive from the recipient of such witness services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and
benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be
reasonably incurred and properly paid under applicable Law by such Party in providing such witness. In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 6.3, upon the request of the Party providing a witness to the other Party under
this Section 6.3, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or
immunities of such first Party or its Group.
Section 6.4 Reimbursement; Other Matters. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing Information or access to Information to the other
Party under this Article VI shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not
include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service
with respect to the foregoing), as may be reasonably incurred by such Party in providing such Information or access to such Information.
Section 6.5 Confidentiality.
(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, each of Parent and SpinCo shall hold, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and their
directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence (and not to disclose or release or, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, including for any ongoing
or future commercial purpose, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to the immediately following proviso)), any and
all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates; provided that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to its respective auditors, attorneys, financial
advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information for auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of the obligation to hold such Information confidential and in respect of
whose failure to comply with such obligations, such Party will be responsible, (ii) if such Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or
by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or is advised by outside counsel in connection with a proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity that it is advisable to do so, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding
by one Party against the other Party or in respect of claims by one Party against the other Party brought in a proceeding, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any
regulatory filings or Tax Returns, (v) as necessary for a Party to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.3) or an Ancillary Agreement, (vi) to Governmental Entities in accordance
with applicable procurement regulations and contract requirements or (vii) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic transaction involving such Party, to the extent reasonably
necessary in connection therewith, provided that an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a third party pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the
Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will
cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party which faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential
Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.
(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or
non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or other members of its Group were part of the Parent Group. Each Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group to comply, and shall cause its and their
respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors (or potential buyers) to comply, with all terms and conditions of any such third-party agreements entered into prior to the Effective Time, with respect to any
confidential and proprietary Information of third parties to which it or any other member of its Group has had access.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise at least
the same degree of care that applies to Parent’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any Contract between each Party or its
Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by the other Party as of the
Effective Time may continue to be used by such other Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the SpinCo Business (in the case of the SpinCo Group) or the Parent Retained Business (in the case of the
Parent Group); provided that such Confidential Information may only be used by such other Party and its officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors in the specific manner and for the specific purposes for which it is used as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time, and may only be shared with additional officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors of such other Party on a need-to-know basis exclusively with regard to such specified use; provided,
further that such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 6.5(a).
(d) The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 6.5 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby
agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in
equity.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, (i) the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 6.6,
and (ii) Information that is subject to any confidentiality provision or other disclosure restriction in any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreement.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, following the Distribution Date, the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall continue to
apply to any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to each Party or its Affiliates that is shared or disclosed with the other Party or its Affiliates, whether or not such Confidential Information is shared pursuant to this
Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.6 Privilege Matters.
(a) Pre-Effective Time Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the
collective benefit of each of the members of the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Effective Time services for the
purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege,
and protection under the work-product doctrine (“Privilege”). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Information subject to Privilege (“Privileged Information”) which relates to such pre-Effective Time
services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 6.6 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any other member of such Party’s
respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.
(b) Post-Effective Time Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of Parent and SpinCo. The Parties further
recognize that certain of such post-Effective Time services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Parent or SpinCo, as the case may be, while other such post-Effective Time services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings,
litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Parent and SpinCo. With respect to such post-Effective Time services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:
(i)
All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both Parent and SpinCo shall be subject to a shared Privilege among the
Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters at issue; and
(ii)
Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(b)(i), Privileged Information relating to post-Effective Time services provided solely to one of Parent or SpinCo shall not be deemed shared
between the Parties; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.
(c) Shared Privilege. The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 6.6(a) or (b):
(i)
Subject to Section 6.6(c)(ii) and (iii), neither Party may waive, or allege or purport to waive, any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the
other Party has a shared Privilege, without the consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within fifteen (15)
days after written notice;
(ii)
If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party
agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, and shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party and specifically agrees
that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;
(iii)
In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or any other member of such
other Party’s Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or
dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.
(d) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any other member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of
Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any other member of its
respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such
Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days (or sooner if required under applicable Law) following the receipt of any such
subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.6 or otherwise, to prevent the
production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.
(e) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Parent or SpinCo as set forth in Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to maintain the
confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals
pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.3, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 5.5, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.7 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed to remain
the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication,
estoppel or otherwise.
Section 6.8 Personal Data.
(a) The Parties acknowledge that (i) Parent is a Data Controller with respect to the Processing of the Parent Personal Data prior to and after the Effective Time, (ii) Parent and SpinCo are separate Data
Controllers with respect to the Processing of SpinCo Personal Data prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) SpinCo remains a Data Controller with respect to the Processing of the SpinCo Personal Data from and after the Effective Time. As such, from
and after the Effective Time, each Party shall comply with this Agreement and the requirements of Data Protection Laws applicable to Data Controllers in connection with the Parent Personal Data and the SpinCo Personal Data and shall not knowingly
do anything or permit anything to be done which might lead to a breach by the other Party or its Affiliates of the Data Protection Laws.
(b) Both Parties shall cooperate to ensure that their Processing of Personal Data hereunder does and will comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws and take all reasonable precautions to avoid acts that
place the other Party in breach of its obligations under any applicable Data Protection Laws. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be deemed to prevent any Party from taking the steps it reasonably deems necessary to comply with any
applicable Data Protection Laws.
Section 6.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange
or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Section 7.1 Transition Committee. Subject to Section 7.4, either Party presenting, raising, pressing or seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the
Separation, the Internal Reorganization, the Distribution, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are SpinCo Assets or Parent Retained Assets, any Liabilities are SpinCo Liabilities or Parent Retained
Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement), including any Action based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to
the Transition Committee (the “Initial Notice”). Following the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Transition Committee shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through the procedures it is empowered to adopt in accordance with Section 2.14.
If the Transition Committee is unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall enter into good-faith negotiations in accordance with Section 7.2.
Section 7.2 Negotiation. If a Dispute is not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1, the Transition Committee shall provide written notice thereof to each Party (the “Officer Negotiation Request”).
Within sixty (60) days (the “Negotiation Period”) of the delivery of the Officer Negotiation Request, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good-faith negotiation. All such negotiations shall be conducted by executives
who hold, at a minimum, the title of Executive Vice President and who have authority to settle the Dispute. All such negotiations and settlement of such Dispute pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be confidential, and no written or oral
statements or offers made by the Parties during such settlement negotiations shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings, including any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 7.3; provided, further,
that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, the Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Initial Notice,
and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Dispute relates occurring after the Initial Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Dispute has been resolved.
Section 7.3 Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Negotiation Period, such Dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided (x) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all
claims and counterclaims, totals less than $15,000,000, or (y) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $15,000,000 or more (such arbitrator or panel, collectively, the “Arbitral
Tribunal”). The panel of three (3) arbitrators shall be selected as follows: (1) the claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules, (2) the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules within
twenty-one days (21) after the appointment of the first arbitrator and (3) the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal, shall be jointly nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators within twenty-one (21) days of the
confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the
Rules.
(b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in Washington, D.C. or at such other location as agreed by the Parties in writing, in the English language.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting their dispute to arbitration under the Rules, the Parties expressly agree that all issues of arbitrability, including all issues concerning the propriety and
timeliness of the commencement of the arbitration (including any defense based on a statute of limitation, if applicable), the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal, and the procedural conditions for arbitration, shall be finally and solely
determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.
(d) Without derogating from Section 7.3(e) below, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or
other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). The Parties shall exclusively submit any application for Interim Relief to only: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an
emergency arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for in the Rules (an “Emergency Arbitrator”). Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of
enforceability, and, moreover, shall also be deemed a term and condition of this Agreement subject to specific performance in Section 7.4 below. The foregoing procedures shall constitute the exclusive means of seeking Interim Relief; provided,
however, that (i) the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency Arbitrator; (ii) in the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order
granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii)
either Party shall retain the right to apply for freezing orders to prevent the improper dissipation of transfer of assets to a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and equitable and that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance and
temporary or final injunctive relief; provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages.
(f) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as well as those costs and fees addressed in the Rules, between
the Parties in the manner it deems fit.
(g) Arbitration under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered thereby shall be final and binding upon the Parties as from the date rendered.
Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets.
(h) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 7.4 Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution Date, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement
or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article VII (including for the
avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary 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. The Parties agree that, from and after the Distribution Date, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that
any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, a Party may seek Interim Relief with respect to a Dispute (other than a Dispute with
respect to (a) any matters governed by this Agreement or (b) any other matters described on Schedule 7.4) without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if and only
if and solely to the extent such action is reasonably necessary to avoid immediate, irreparable harm.
Section 7.5 Treatment of Arbitration. The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any
pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the Arbitral Tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person
necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by Law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 7.5 (including any
proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that Party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency
Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.
Section 7.6 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each
Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.
Section 7.7 Consolidation. The arbitrator may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between
the Parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arises out of or relates essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the
arbitrator appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.
Section 7.8 Coordination on Tax Matters. Except to the extent provided in Article IX of the Tax Matters Agreement, the provisions of this Article VII (other than this Section 7.8) shall
not apply with respect to the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Taxes or Tax matters, which shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.
Section 7.9 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In furtherance of the principles set forth in this Article VII and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Conveyancing and
Assumption Instruments (including any dispute resolution provisions or remedies set forth in any such agreement or available under applicable Law under any such agreement), any Dispute arising out of or relating to any Conveyancing and Assumption
Instruments shall be exclusively initiated and resolved by Parent and SpinCo pursuant to this Article VII to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.
ARTICLE VIII
INSURANCE
Section 8.1 Insurance Matters.
(a) Parent and SpinCo agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Effective Time. In no event shall Parent, any other member
of the Parent Group or any Parent Indemnitee have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the SpinCo Group in the event that (i) any insurance policy or insurance policy related contract shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in
effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the SpinCo Group for any reason whatsoever or shall be cancelled, not renewed or not extended beyond the current expiration date, or (ii) any insurer
declines, denies, delays or obstructs any claim payment.
(b) With the sole exception of (i) incidents occurring prior to the Effective Time and that would be otherwise covered under the Occurrence Policies of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group
(collectively, the “Covered Policies”), (ii) the SpinCo Insurance Policies and any other insurance policies acquired prior to the Effective Time directly by and in the name of SpinCo or another member of the SpinCo Group and that provide
coverage solely for one or more members of the SpinCo Group, or (iii) as expressly provided in Section 5.7 or this Article VIII, from and after the Effective Time, SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group or any of their respective
employees (including former or inactive employees) shall cease to be insured by, shall have no access or availability to or under, shall not be entitled to make claims on or under and shall not be entitled to claim benefits from or seek coverage
under, and shall not have any rights to or under, any Company Policy or any of Parent’s or any other member of the Parent Group’s respective self-insured programs in place immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the Company Policies.
(c) Solely with respect to the Covered Policies, from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liabilities incurred by any member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time, Parent will provide
SpinCo with access to, and SpinCo may make claims under, the Covered Policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time, but solely to the extent that such Covered Policies provided for such coverage and permit such access; provided that
such access to, and the right to make claims under, such Covered Policies, shall be subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and procedures of such Covered Policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured
retentions and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(i)
SpinCo shall notify Parent’s Director – Risk Management, as promptly as practicable, of any incident, circumstance or occurrence that may lead to a claim made by SpinCo pursuant to this Section
8.1(c) and shall periodically provide updates to Parent on the status of any such incidents, circumstances or occurrences, including promptly following any request for such updates from Parent.
(ii)
SpinCo shall reimburse Parent and the other members of the Parent Group for all claim-related payments made by Parent or such other member of the Parent Group on or after the Effective Time that
arise from claims made by SpinCo, any other member of the SpinCo Group, any of their respective employees or any Third Party under Parent’s or such other member of the Parent Group’s self-insured, large deductible, or fronted insurance programs for
occurrences prior to the Effective Time, including overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, surcharges, state assessments and other related costs. SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and
reimburse Parent and the other members of the Parent Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, and other expenses incurred by
Parent or any other members of the Parent Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group under, any Company Policies provided pursuant to this Section 8.1(c), whether
such claims are made by SpinCo, its employees or Third Parties.
(iii)
SpinCo shall exclusively bear (and neither Parent nor any other members of the Parent Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group for)
and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts (including where any insurer declines, denies, delays or obstructs any claim payment) of all such claims made for the benefit of SpinCo or any other
member of the SpinCo Group under the Company Policies as provided for in this Section 8.1(c). Where a Company Policy includes a reinstatement of limits, in the event that an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be
exhausted, due to noticed claims, the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Parent Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the Liabilities of such Group (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Liabilities of the SpinCo Group, any Liabilities relating to the SpinCo Business prior to the Effective Time) submitted to Parent insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective
Time). To the extent that the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of Liabilities submitted to Parent’s insurance carrier(s), the other party shall promptly pay the first
party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, a Party may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate even if available. In the event that a
Party elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party and shall have no rights to claim against or have any benefit from the reinstated limits. A Party which elects to reinstate the policy
aggregate shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement to the extent that such Party has received notice from the other Party that such other Party does not elect to reinstate the limits.
(iv)
With respect to any claim arising under the Defense Base Act, whether arising before or after the Separation (“DBA Claims”), such DBA Claims shall be administered, managed and defended by
SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group and the cooperation obligations of the Parent Group shall be limited to forwarding DBA Claims and any information or documents received from claimants.
(v)
SpinCo’s access to, and the right to make claims under, any Covered Policy pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) may be conditioned on (i) entry by SpinCo into a customary assumption agreement
(or similar instrument) to effectuate and evidence the assumption by SpinCo of liability and other obligations to the insurer under the applicable Covered Policy, to the extent requested by any applicable third party insurer or, in the event the
applicable Covered Policy permits a third party insurer to seek any recovery from Parent in connection with a claim by SpinCo under the Covered Policy, by Parent (provided that any such request made solely by Parent shall not seek assumption by
SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group of Liabilities that are not SpinCo Liabilities or otherwise arising from such claim) or (ii) the posting by SpinCo of any collateral required by any third party insurer in connection with a claim by SpinCo
under a Covered Policy.
At all times, Parent and SpinCo shall, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding clause (iv) and in Section 6.5, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any
such insurance policy claim. In the event that any member of the Parent Group incurs any Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the Parent Group is entitled to coverage under SpinCo’s
third-party insurance policies, the same process pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall apply, substituting “Parent” for “SpinCo” and “SpinCo” for “Parent.”
(d) With respect to any Covered Policy that the SpinCo Group has access to, and the right to make claims under, pursuant to Section 8.1(c), claims shall be paid and the applicable limits under such
Covered Policy shall be reduced, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such Covered Policies and without any priority or preference shown or given to either Parent or SpinCo (or any other members of their respective Groups), absent any
written agreement between the Parties otherwise; provided, however, that neither Parent nor SpinCo (or any other member of their respective Groups) shall accelerate or delay either the notification and submission of claims, on the one hand, or the
demand for coverage for and receipt of insurance payments, on the other hand, in a manner that would differ from that which each would follow in the ordinary course when acting without regard to sufficiency of limits of such Covered Policy.
(e) Neither SpinCo nor any other member of the SpinCo Group, in connection with making a claim under any Company Policy pursuant to this Section 8.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably
likely to (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance provider, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance
provider terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group under the applicable Company Policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or
interfere in any material respect with the rights of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group under the applicable Company Policy.
(f) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(c), from and after the Effective Time, any director, manager or officer of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group who served as a director, manager or officer
of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to pursue coverage under the director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group (or, in lieu
thereof, any “tail” policy obtained for such insurance) to the extent that such policies provide coverage for such director’s, manager’s or officer’s acts and omissions in his or her respective capacity as director, manager or officer of Parent or
any other member of the Parent Group prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies (including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles or retention amounts and other fees and expenses).
(g) Any payments, costs, adjustments or reimbursements to be paid by SpinCo pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be billed quarterly and payable within thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice from
Parent. Without prejudice to the ability of the SpinCo Group to handle, pursue and collect claims that it has submitted to the insurance provider of a Covered Policy in compliance with this Agreement, Parent shall retain the exclusive right to
control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under
any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any SpinCo Liabilities and/or claims SpinCo has made or could make in the future, and no member of the SpinCo Group shall erode, exhaust,
settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Parent’s insurers with respect to any of Parent’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. SpinCo
shall cooperate with Parent and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters as Parent deems appropriate.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, neither SpinCo nor any other member of the SpinCo Group shall have any rights or claims against or with
respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance company arrangement of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the SpinCo Captive Insurance Program). In addition, as of the Effective Time, SpinCo,
for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Groups does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Parent and the other members of the Parent Group of any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance
company arrangement of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group.
(i) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance. This Agreement shall not be
construed to waive any right or remedy of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group under or with respect to any of the Company Policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance, and Parent reserves all of its (and each other
member of the Parent Group’s) rights under such policies.
(j) Neither Parent nor any other member of the Parent Group shall be liable to SpinCo for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of Parent, including coinsurance provisions,
deductibles, quota share deductibles, exhaustion of aggregates, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Company Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by Parent or
any other member of the Parent Group or any defect in such claim or its processing. SpinCo does hereby, for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, agree that no member of the Parent Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result
of the insurance policies and practices of Parent and the members of the Parent Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and
conditions of any policy, or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
(k) In the event of any Action by either Party or any member of either Party’s Group (or both of the Parties or both any member(s) of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any member(s) of the SpinCo Group,
on the other hand) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any policy benefits, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall
waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action. Nothing in this Section 8.1(k) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created under this
Agreement (including the obligations under Article V), by operation of law or otherwise.
(l) Any Insurance Proceeds received by the Parent Group for the benefit of members of the SpinCo Group or by the SpinCo Group for the benefit of members of the Parent Group shall be transferred, respectively,
to the SpinCo Group (in the former case) or the Parent Group (in the latter case). Any Insurance Proceeds received for the benefit of both the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group shall be distributed pro rata based on the respective share of the
underlying loss.
(m) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.1, from and after the Effective Time, SpinCo shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with SpinCo’s contractual
obligations and such other policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to the SpinCo Business, including the insurance policies set forth in Schedule 8.1(m).
Section 8.2 Certain Matters Relating to Parent’s Organizational Documents. From the Effective Time until six (6) years from the Distribution Date, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of SpinCo
shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses of directors and officers than those set forth in the Charter or Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or
otherwise modified for such period in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were entitled to indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses, as the case may be,
under the Charter or Bylaws (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), unless such amendment, repeal, or other modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law or approved by SpinCo’s stockholders. The
provisions of this Section 8.2 expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.2.
Section 8.3 Indemnitor of First Resort. As a result of agreements or obligations arising outside of this Agreement, certain of the directors, managers and officers of SpinCo and its Subsidiaries
designated by Parent or its Affiliates (the “Parent D&O Indemnitees”) have or will have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Parent or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent
Indemnitors”) in connection with their service as directors, managers or officers of SpinCo or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any such rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by any Parent Indemnitor,
(a) SpinCo is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., SpinCo’s obligations to the Parent D&O Indemnitees are primary, and any obligation of the Parent Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide
indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Parent D&O Indemnitee are secondary), (b) SpinCo shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Parent D&O Indemnitees and shall be liable for
the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, any other agreement between SpinCo and the Parent D&O Indemnitees or the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of SpinCo and (c) SpinCo hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each of the Parent Indemnitors from any and all claims against any of the Parent Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any
other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. In addition, notwithstanding any advancement or payment by the Parent Indemnitors to or on behalf of any Parent D&O Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which a Parent D&O Indemnitee has
sought or may seek indemnification from SpinCo, (i) SpinCo’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, (ii) the Parent Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the
rights of recovery of such Parent D&O Indemnitee, as applicable, against SpinCo, and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all damages, costs, losses and other Liabilities incurred by any Parent D&O Indemnitee in connection with his or her
service as a director or officer of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute SpinCo Liabilities.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Entire Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules, and the Ancillary Agreements shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Schedule
hereto, the Schedule shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of (a) this Agreement and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, such Ancillary Agreement shall control
(except with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, the Transition Services Agreement, the Continuing Arrangements MSAs or the Houston Sublease, in which case this Agreement shall control), (b) this Agreement and the provisions of
any other Continuing Arrangement, this Agreement shall control, and (c) this Agreement and any agreement which is not an Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments are intended to be ministerial in nature and only to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the applicable local jurisdiction and shall not expand or modify the
rights and obligations of the Parties or their Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that are not Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, subject to Sections 1.1(118)(vi) and 1.1(149)(xx).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i) all matters relating to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be
governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement; and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and the Tax Matters Agreement, on the other hand, with respect
to such matters, the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern.
Section 9.2 Ancillary Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly
covered by the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such
counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each of the Parties (including by facsimile, by .pdf, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail or by DocuSign or any other electronic signature complying with the
U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or other applicable Law).
Section 9.4 Survival of Agreements. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement and each
Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.
Section 9.5 Expenses.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, as set forth in Schedule 9.5(a) or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, (i) all out-of-pocket fees
and expenses incurred at or prior to the Effective Time by any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group in connection with, or as required by, the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement
and the Distribution Disclosure Documents and the consummation of the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution and the Distribution (the “Transaction-related Expenses”) shall be borne and paid by Parent and (ii) all out-of-pocket fees,
costs and expenses incurred by either the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group following the Effective Time in connection with, or as required by, the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and
the Distribution Disclosure Documents and the consummation of the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution and the Distribution (except to the extent such fees and expenses were incurred in connection with services expressly requested by the other
Party in writing following the Effective Time), will be borne and paid by the Party incurring such fee, cost or expense. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.5 shall not affect each Party’s responsibility to indemnify Parent Retained
Liabilities or SpinCo Liabilities, as applicable, arising from the transactions contemplated by the Distribution.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining any Consents or

Subsidiary to which such Contract is being assigned.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 9.5(a)(i), with respect to any expenses incurred pursuant to a request for further assurances granted under Section 2.8, the Parties agree that any and all
fees and expenses incurred by either Party shall be borne and paid by the requesting Party; it being understood that no Party shall be obliged to incur any third party accounting, consulting, advisor, banking or legal fees, costs or expenses, and
the requesting Party shall not be obligated to pay such fees, costs or expenses, unless such fee, cost or expense shall have had the prior written approval of the requesting Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be responsible for
paying its own internal fees, costs and expenses (e.g., salaries of personnel).

forth.
Section 9.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to
assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable (i) by either Party, to an Affiliate of such Party, or (ii) to a bona fide third
party in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the relevant Party by operation
of law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party; provided, however, that in the case of each of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), no assignment permitted by this Section 9.7
shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of Parent without the approval of SpinCo or the stockholders of Parent. In the event of such termination, no Party shall have any liability hereunder of any kind to the other Party or any other Person.
After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated, modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Parent and SpinCo.
Section 9.10 Payment Terms.
(a) Except as set forth in Article V or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or another
member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, to the other Party (and/or another member of such other Party’s Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within sixty (60) days after presentation of an
undisputed invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.
(b) Except as set forth in Article V or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.
(c) Unless otherwise consented to by the Party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Parent or SpinCo under this Agreement shall be made in US
Dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into US Dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time (EST) on the day before the
relevant date or in The Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg.
Section 9.11 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any
Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at and after the Effective Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.
Section 9.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article V relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 5.1 of any Person provided therein, (ii) as
provided in Section 8.2 or (iii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties 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 reference to this Agreement.
Section 9.13 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 9.14 Exhibits and Schedules.
(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules
constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any
member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential
liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.
(b) Subject to the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party shall be entitled to update the Schedules from and after the date hereof until the
Effective Time.
Section 9.15 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State
of Delaware, including all matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies.
Section 9.16 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.17 Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and SpinCo shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon,
that portion of any press release or other public statements that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such
consultation, except: (a) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or (b) for disclosures made that are substantially consistent with disclosure
contained in any Distribution Disclosure Document.
Section 9.18 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule
requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
Section 9.19 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any
matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of the following Sections: Section 5.2; Section 5.3; and Section
5.4).
Section 9.20 Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and all other applicable Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this
Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 9.10) shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Tax Matters Agreement.
Section 9.21 Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived by a Party, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the authorized representatives of the Party against whom it is
sought to enforce such waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
Section 9.22 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between
Parent and SpinCo and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or SpinCo.
Section 9.23 Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that (a) Parent, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Parent Group, has retained each of the Persons identified
on Schedule 9.23 to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (b) the Persons
listed on Schedule 9.23 have not acted as counsel for SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (c) none of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.23 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result
thereof. SpinCo hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal
Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and/or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Parent and SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.23
may represent any or all of the members of the Parent Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Parent Group may be directly adverse to those of the SpinCo Group. SpinCo further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the
SpinCo Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the
expectation of client confidence belongs to Parent or the applicable member of the Parent Group and may be controlled by Parent or such member of the Parent Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo
Group.
Section 9.24 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 payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of
this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (x) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts
to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable. “Force Majeure” shall mean, with respect to a Party, an event beyond the reasonable control of
such Party (or any Person acting on its behalf), which event (a) does not arise or result from the fault or negligence of such Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) and (b) by its nature would not reasonably have been foreseen by such Party
(or such Person), or, if it would reasonably have been foreseen, was unavoidable, and includes acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, pandemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods,
unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any significant and prolonged failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receipt by a
Party of an unsolicited takeover offer or other acquisition proposal, even if unforeseen or unavoidable, and such Party’s response thereto shall not be deemed an event of Force Majeure.
Section 9.25 Authority. Parent represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Parent Group, and SpinCo represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, as follows:
(a) 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 each Ancillary
Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and
(b) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms
thereof.
Section 9.26 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, nor Parent or any other
member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages of the other arising in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages (other than any such Liability to the extent actually owed with respect to a Third-Party Claim); provided that the foregoing shall not
limit the express provisions of any Ancillary Agreement to the extent providing for the payment of any of the foregoing.
Section 9.27 Plan of Reorganization. This Agreement, together with the relevant portions of the Separation Plan, constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section
1.368-2(g).
