ARTICLE I

INDEMNITIES

1.1 Cross-Indemnities

(a) The Company hereby covenants and agrees, on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article I, from and after the Closing, to indemnify and hold harmless LIC and Liberty LLC, their Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, trustees, administrators, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “ LIC Indemnified Parties ”) from and against any Losses incurred by the LIC Indemnified Parties (in their capacities as such) to the extent arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

(i) the conduct of the Company Businesses (whether before or after the Closing);

 

(ii) the Company Assets;

(iii) the Company Liabilities (whether incurred before or after the Closing); or

(iv) any breach of, or failure to perform or comply with, any covenant, undertaking or obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement [or any Specified Agreement].

(b) Each of LIC and Liberty LLC (jointly and severally) hereby covenants and agrees, on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article I, from and after the Closing, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, trustees, administrators, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “ Company Indemnified Parties ”) from and against any Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties (in their capacities as such) to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the conduct of the LIC Retained Businesses (whether before or after the Closing);

(ii) the LIC Retained Assets;

(iii) the LIC Retained Liabilities (whether incurred before or after the Closing); or

(iv) any breach of, or failure to perform or comply with, any covenant, undertaking or obligation of LIC or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Entities) under this Agreement [or any Specified Agreement].

(c) The indemnification provisions set forth in Section 1.1(a) and (b) shall not apply to: (i) any Losses the responsibility for which is expressly covered by the Split-Off Tax Sharing Agreement; (ii) any Losses incurred by any Company Entity pursuant to any contractual obligation (other than this Agreement [or any Specified Agreement]) existing on or after the Closing Date between (x) LIC or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and (y) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the other hand; (iii) any Losses incurred by any LIC Entity pursuant to any contractual obligation (other than this Agreement [or any Specified Agreement]) existing on or after the Closing Date between (x) LIC or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and (y) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the other hand; (iv) any Losses arising from or in connection with the Purchased Debenture Indemnity, which shall be governed by Article II hereof; (v) any Losses arising from or related to the Purchase Offers to be made by Liberty LLC, which shall be covered by Article III hereof; and (vi) any Losses arising from the Retained Debenture Indemnity, which shall be governed by Article IV hereof.

(d) (i)    In connection with any indemnification provided for in this Section 1.1, the party seeking indemnification (the “ Indemnitee ”) will give the party from which indemnification is sought (the “ Indemnitor ”) prompt notice whenever it comes to the attention of the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee has suffered or incurred, or may suffer or incur, any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.1, and, if and when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the projected amount of such Losses (which shall not be conclusive as to the amount of such Losses), in each case in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any Action commenced by a third party for which indemnification is being sought (a “ Third-Party Claim ”), such notice will be given no later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by the Indemnitee of written notice of such Third-Party Claim. Failure by any Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor will not affect the rights of such Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee will deliver to the Indemnitor as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after Indemnitee’s receipt, copies of all notices, court papers and other documents received by the Indemnitee relating to any Third-Party Claim.

  

(ii) After receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(i) with respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor will be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation with respect to such Third-Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to handle and defend such claim, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, upon written notice to the Indemnitee of such election, which notice acknowledges the Indemnitor’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Losses arising out of or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor will not settle any Third-Party Claim that is the subject of indemnification without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , however , that, after reasonable notice, the Indemnitor may settle a claim without the Indemnitee’s consent if such settlement (A) makes no admission or acknowledgment of Liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitee, (B) includes a complete release of the Indemnitee and (C) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitee other than the payment of money damages to be borne by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any lawsuit or Action with respect to such Third-Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom (including the filing in the Indemnitee’s name of appropriate cross-claims and counterclaims). The Indemnitee may, at its own cost, participate in any investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnitor and any appeal arising therefrom, including participating in the process

with respect to the potential settlement or compromise thereof. If the Indemnitee has been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that conflict with those available to, or that are not available to, the Indemnitor (“ Separate Legal Defenses ”), or that there may be actual or potential differing or conflicting interests between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee will have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor to handle and defend such Third-Party Claim, provided , that, if such Third-Party Claim can be reasonably separated between those portion(s) for which Separate Legal Defenses are available (“ Separable Claims ”) and those for which no Separate Legal Defenses are available, the Indemnitee will instead have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor to handle and defend the Separable Claims, and the Indemnitor will not have the right to control the defense or investigation of such Separable Claims (and, in which case, the Indemnitor will have the right to control the defense or investigation of the remaining portion(s) of such Third-Party Claim).

(iii) If, after receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(i) with respect to any Third-Party Claim as to which indemnification is available hereunder, the Indemnitor does not undertake to defend the Indemnitee against such Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnitee timely notice of its election to so defend or otherwise, the Indemnitee may, but will have no obligation to, assume its own defense, at the expense of the Indemnitor (including attorneys’ fees and costs), it being understood that the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for such Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by its assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor will be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnitee; provided , that the Indemnitee may not settle any lawsuit or Action with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , further , that such consent shall not be required if (i) the Indemnitor had the right under this Section 1.1 to undertake control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, after notice, failed to do so within thirty days of receipt of such notice (or such lesser period as may be required by court proceedings in the event of a litigated matter), or (ii) (x) the Indemnitor does not have the right to control the defense of the entirety of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(ii) or (y) the Indemnitor does not have the right to control the defense of any Separable Claims pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(ii) (in which case such settlement may only apply to such Separable Claims), the Indemnitee provides reasonable notice to Indemnitor of the settlement, and such settlement (A) makes no admission or acknowledgment of Liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitor, (B) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitor and (C) does not seek any relief against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitor is responsible other than the payment of money damages.

(e) In no event will the Indemnitor be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, consequential, indirect, collateral, incidental or punitive damages, however caused and on any theory of liability arising in any way out of this Agreement, whether or not such Indemnitor was advised of the possibility of any such damages; provided , that the foregoing limitations shall not limit a party’s indemnification obligations for any Losses incurred by an Indemnitee as a result of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim.

(f) The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information, and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party with respect to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(g) The Indemnitor shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.1 by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnitee of a bill, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed backup documentation, for any Losses that are the subject of

indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnitor in good faith disputes the amount of such Losses or whether such Losses are covered by the Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation in which event the Indemnitor shall promptly so notify the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnitee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses for which it is liable hereunder no later than three (3) Business Days following any final determination of the amount of such Losses and the Indemnitor’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when (a) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment.

(h) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.1 shall, for any reason, be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by and the relative fault of the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand with respect to the matter giving rise to such Losses.

(i) The remedies provided in this Section 1.1 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against an Indemnitor, subject to Section 1.1(e).

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 1.1 are not intended to, and shall not, apply to any Loss, claim or Liability to which the provisions of the Split-Off Tax Sharing Agreement are applicable.

(k) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred in connection with the enforcement of his, her or its rights under this Section 1.1.

ARTICLE II

2.1 Offer to Purchase .    (a) On or before the six (6) month anniversary of the Split-Off Closing (such period, the “ Purchase Period ”), each of LIC and Liberty LLC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase (in one or more privately negotiated transactions, and/or by tender offer or other purchase transactions) the Retained Debentures outstanding following the Closing (each such offer to purchase, a “ Purchase Offer ”), subject to this Article II.

(d) Following the making of any Purchase Offer (including, if applicable, Liberty LLC’s execution of a purchase agreement in respect thereof), any material changes to the terms and conditions thereof or material amendments of any applicable agreements related thereto, will require the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , that , the Company’s determination of whether any such change or amendment is reasonable will be made pursuant to the same standard referenced in Section 2.1(c) above.

(b) Liberty LLC will notify the Company in writing promptly of any accepted Purchase Offer (which, in the case of a tender offer, will be deemed to have occurred upon the expiration of the tender offer).

(c) The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason payment by or on behalf of the Company in respect of any obligation under this Section 2.2 is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by Liberty LLC or any Person receiving such payment, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and reimburse Liberty LLC against any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of Liberty LLC under this Section 2.2.

Payments related to such Tax Benefits for the applicable Indemnity Payment Tax Year may be further redetermined and adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5.

(iii) Tax Benefits resulting from the Tax Items allocated to Splitco under Section 2.2(h)(ii) related to a Splitco Indemnity Payment that are considered to be used in accordance with Section 4.3(c) in a Tax Year other than the Indemnity Payment Tax Year shall be determined and paid in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 4.3(d).

   

4.4 Interest on Late Payments . Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or, if no such date is prescribed, not later than five business days after demand for payment is made (the “Due Date”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the date of payment at the Interest Rate. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

4.5 Initial Determinations and Subsequent Adjustments . Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(d), the initial determination of the amount of any payment that one Company is required to make to another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the

Tax Authority. The amounts paid under this Agreement shall be redetermined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination shall be made, as appropriate, if as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority or for any other reason (x) additional Taxes to which such determination relates are subsequently paid, (y) a Tax Refund or a Tax Benefit relating to such Taxes is received or used, or (z) the amount or character of any Tax Item is adjusted or redetermined. Each payment required by the immediately preceding sentence (i) as a result of a payment of additional Taxes will be due five business days after the date on which the additional Taxes were paid or, if later, five business days after the date of a request from the other Company for the payment, (ii) as a result of the receipt or use of a Tax Refund or Tax Benefit will be due five business days after the Tax Refund or Tax Benefit was received or used, or (iii) as a result of an adjustment or redetermination of the amount or character of a Tax Item will be due five business days after the date on which the final action resulting in such adjustment or redetermination is taken by a Tax Authority or either Company or any of their Subsidiaries. If a payment is made as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority which does not conclude the matter, further adjusting payments will be made, as appropriate, to reflect the outcome of subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings.

4.6 Tax Consequences of Payments . For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement between the parties as a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, for all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the Estimated 2046 Exchangeables Tax Benefits Amount related to any Splitco Indemnity Payment shall be treated as a reduction of the applicable Splitco Indemnity Payment under the Indemnification Agreement.
