The Spinco Term Loan Credit Agreement established a senior secured first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,900 million (the “Spinco Term Loan Facility”), which will mature on February 28, 2027 (or, if such date is not a business day, the first business day thereafter).

The Spinco Term Loan Facility has an applicable margin of (i) 1.75% (for LIBOR loans) and (ii) 0.75% (for base rate (“ABR”) loans). The terms of the Spinco Term Loan Credit Agreement are substantially consistent with terms of the Amended GDI Credit Agreement (as defined below).

GDI Amendment and Amended GDI Credit Agreement

On February 28, 2020,  the Company, Gardner Denver, Inc. (the “U.S. Borrower”), GD German Holdings II GmbH, as the German Borrower, Gardner Denver Holdings Ltd. as the UK Borrower, Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent, and the other parties party thereto entered into that certain Amendment No. 5 (the “GDI Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2013 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, Amendment No. 2, dated as of August 17, 2017, Amendment No. 3, dated as of December 13, 2018 and Amendment No. 4, dated as of June 28, 2019, the “Existing GDI Credit Agreement”; and the Existing GDI Credit Agreement, as amended by the GDI Amendment, the “Amended GDI Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the U.S. Borrower, the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders and other financial institutions or entities party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer.

The GDI Amendment, among other things, (a) refinanced in full the existing senior secured first lien term loan facilities outstanding under the Existing GDI Credit Agreement with replacement senior secured first lien term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of approximately US $928 million (“GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans”) and €602 million (“GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loans”, and together with the GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, the “GDI Term Loan Facilities”), which will mature on February 28, 2027 (or, if such date is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) and (b) made certain other corresponding changes and updates. Loans under the GDI Term Loan Facilities will have the following applicable margins: (i) for LIBOR loans that are 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, 1.75%, (ii) for ABR loans that are 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, 0.75%, and (iii) for LIBOR loans that are 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loans, 2.00%.

Following the effectiveness of the GDI Amendment and the consummation of the Distribution and of the Merger, the SpinCo Borrower was designated as an additional borrower under the Amended GDI Credit Agreement (the “Designation”) and the term loans of the Spinco Borrower outstanding under the Spinco Term Loan Agreement were designated as loans under the terms of the Amended GDI Credit Agreement.  The Spinco Borrower remains the borrower in respect of the Spinco Term Loan Facility which is separate and distinct from the GDI Term Loan Facilities. Following the effectiveness of the GDI Amendment, the Distribution, the Merger and and the Designation, the Spinco Term Loan Facility and GDI Term Loan Facilities have guarantees from the same credit parties and are secured by the same collateral.

(“Clover”) and Charm Merger Sub Inc. are parties to that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2019, as may be amended form time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), and Moon and SpinCo are parties to that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2019, as may be amended form time to time (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”);
 
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Separation and Distribution Agreement or, if not defined therein, the Merger Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, as contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Moon and its Affiliates are willing to provide (or cause to be provided) to SpinCo and its Affiliates and SpinCo and its Affiliates are willing to provide (or cause to be provided) to Moon and its Affiliates, certain transition services (as further described below, the “Transition Services”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
 
WHEREAS, (i) references to “Provider” herein shall mean (A) Moon with respect to Transition Services provided to SpinCo or its Affiliate, and (b) SpinCo with respect to Transition Services to be provided to Moon or its Affiliate; and (ii) references to “Recipient” herein shall mean (A) SpinCo with respect to Transition Services being provided to it by Moon or its Affiliate and (B) Moon with respect to Transition Services being provided to it by SpinCo or its Affiliate.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
TRANSITION SERVICES
 
1.1.        Transition Services.
 
(a)         In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Provider shall perform or cause its Affiliates to perform for Recipient or its Affiliates the Transition Services set forth in the Services Schedules attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Services Schedule, the term “Services Schedule” also includes any additional or supplemental Services Schedules mutually agreed to by the Parties in accordance with this Agreement).   Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Services Schedule, the Services Schedule is only supplemental to, and does not amend, modify or limit the Parties’ rights or obligations under, this Agreement, provided that the Services Schedule may modify the length of the term of a Transition Service otherwise governed by Section 1.5(a), the right to extend the length of the term of a Transition Service otherwise governed by Section 1.5(b) and the price of a Transition Service otherwise governed by Section 2.1.
 
1

(b)          Provider shall perform, or cause to be performed by one or more of its Affiliates, the Transition Services (i) in accordance with this Agreement and, in any event, in compliance with applicable Law; (ii) (A) in all cases in a professional and workmanlike manner and (B) at a scope, quantity and service level (x) as specified in the Services Schedule, or (y) if or to the extent not specified in the Services Schedule, then at a substantially similar scope, quantity and service level with which the Transition Services have been provided by Moon and its Affiliates during the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Merger Agreement until the Closing Date, (the “Reference Period”); and (iii) in a manner that is non-discriminatory compared to the way in which Provider provides the same or similar services to itself and its Affiliates, including in respect of the prioritization of the provision of Transition Services relative to such same or similar services.  Provider agrees to (i) assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to perform the Transition Services and (ii) subject to Provider’s security and other access protocols and policies, provide access to existing tangible assets, equipment and infrastructure, if applicable, in good condition and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in each case, as are reasonably required to perform the Transition Services.  Each Transition Service shall be provided at the location or locations specified in the “Geography” column set forth opposite each Transition Service in the Services Schedule, or, if not specified in the Services Schedule, then at the location or locations at which such Transition Service has been provided by Moon and/or its Affiliates during the Reference Period.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in a Service Schedule, neither Provider nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide any Transition Service in a location other than where such Transition Service was performed prior to the Closing. Neither Provider nor any of its Affiliates will be required to render any Transition Services in a particular location that would necessitate that Provider or any of its Affiliates qualify to do business in any location or jurisdiction other than the current locations and jurisdictions where Provider or any such Affiliate, as applicable, does business as of the Effective Date.
 
(c)          Recipient agrees that the Transition Services are for the sole use and benefit of  Recipient and its Affiliates, in each case, solely with respect to the SpinCo Business or the Moon Business, as applicable. Neither Recipient nor any of its Affiliates shall resell any of the Transition Services to any Person whatsoever and shall not permit the receipt or use of the Transition Services by any Person other than for the conduct of the SpinCo Business or the Moon Business, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in a Service Schedule executed by each Party or as expressly provided herein, neither Provider nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide any other services to Recipient or any of its Affiliates.
 
(d)         Each Transition Service shall include all functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks, and the materials, documentation, resources, rights and licenses to be used, granted or provided by Provider that are not specifically described in this Agreement as part of such Transition Service, but have been incidental to, and were considered an inherent part of, or necessary subpart included within, such Transition Service during the Reference Period or are otherwise necessary to such Transition Service.
 
2

(e)          Upon reasonable advance notice to Recipient or its Affiliate (as applicable), Provider may (or may cause its Affiliates to) modify the manner, quality or standard of care of a Transition Service to conform to modifications in the manner, quality or standard of care that Provider or its Affiliates generally provide such Transition Service to other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider and its Affiliates or as required by a contract with a third party, so long as such modifications would not result in (x) Recipient or its Affiliates generally being treated less favorably than Provider or its Affiliates with respect to the other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider and its Affiliates receiving such Transition Service in any material respect, (y) Recipient or its Affiliates losing the benefit of such Transition Service or (z) Recipient being charged additional Costs that are not imposed on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider; provided, that with respect to any Transition Service of which Recipient and its Affiliates are the users of more than 50% of the Transition Service in question, any such modification shall require the consent of Recipient (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above shall not apply when the relevant modification is required to comply with applicable Law.
 
(f)          If, within six (6) months of the Closing, SpinCo identifies any service not included in the Services Schedule (other than a service listed on Exhibit B as an Excluded Service (an “Excluded Service”)) that was provided to the SpinCo Business by Moon or any of its Affiliates at any time during the Reference Period (other than any such service provided during such period outside of the ordinary course of business in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement), either directly or indirectly through third-party service providers, which service (i) Moon or its Affiliates continues to provide with respect to any operations, businesses or divisions of the Moon Group,  (ii) SpinCo is not already receiving from a third-party service provider and (iii) SpinCo reasonably believes is necessary for the operation or conduct of the SpinCo Business following the Closing in substantially the same manner as the SpinCo Business was operated or conducted during the Reference Period, then promptly following a written notice from SpinCo to Moon to such effect and describing such service, the Parties shall promptly  provide for such service to be included hereunder such that Moon or its Affiliates will provide (or arrange for the provision of) such service to SpinCo and its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The compensation associated with any such service shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.1. The Parties shall negotiate and document the terms of such service in a supplemental Services Schedule, which Services Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s) and other terms applicable to such service.
 
(g)          If, within six (6) months of the Closing, Moon identifies any service not included in the Services Schedule (other than an Excluded Service) that was provided to the business of Moon and its Affiliates by the SpinCo Business at any time during the Reference Period (other than any such service provided during such period outside of the ordinary course of business in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement), either directly or indirectly through third-party service providers, which service (i) SpinCo or its Affiliates continues to provide with respect to any operations, businesses or divisions of the SpinCo Group or Clover Group, (ii) Moon is not already receiving from a third-party service provider and (iii) Moon reasonably believes is necessary for the operation or conduct of the business of Moon and its Affiliates following the Closing in substantially the same manner as such business was operated or conducted during the Reference Period, then promptly following a written notice from Moon to SpinCo to such effect and describing such service, the Parties shall promptly provide for such service to be included hereunder such that SpinCo or its Affiliates will provide (or arrange for the provision of) such service to Moon and its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The compensation associated with any such service shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.1. The Parties shall negotiate and document the terms of such service in a supplemental Services Schedule, which Services Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s) and other terms applicable to such service.
 
3

(h)         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(f) and Section 1.1(g), Recipient shall not be entitled to add any service or expand the scope or period of any service to the extent the need for such addition or expansion has resulted from the termination, transfer or reassignment by SpinCo or any of its Affiliates of the employment with the SpinCo Group of any conveyed SpinCo Employee, which SpinCo Employee was responsible for performing such service prior to such termination, transfer or reassignment.
 
1.2.        Subcontractors. Provider may, directly or through one or more Affiliates, hire or engage one or more subcontractors or other third-party service providers (each, a “Subcontractor”) to perform any of the Transition Services (a) to the extent that such Transition Service was subcontracted or a subcontractor was utilized during the Reference Period or has been used during the Term or such third party is subcontracted or utilized at the same time to provide substantially the same services to Provider or its Affiliates or (b) upon the prior written consent of Recipient (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that (i) Provider and its Affiliates shall remain primarily responsible for the acts and omissions of each Subcontractor as if they were Provider’s or such Affiliates’ own acts and omissions, including each Subcontractor’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Provider shall be responsible for ensuring, and for causing its Affiliates to ensure, that the performance standards set forth in Section 1.1(b) are satisfied with respect to any Transition Service provided by any such Subcontractor, (iii) the use of any such Subcontractor shall not increase (but may reduce) any fees or other payments payable by the Recipient hereunder, as compared to the fees and other payments if Provider or its Affiliates were to provide such Transition Services itself, and (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Provider or its relevant Affiliate shall be responsible for any payment or other termination fees due to such Subcontractor in the event Provider or such Affiliate changes or replaces such Subcontractor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Provider did not use a Subcontractor for a Transition Service during the Reference Period or during the Term, and either (x) Recipient and its Affiliates are the users of more than 50% of the Transition Service in question or (y) the use of a Subcontractor would result in the early termination of a secondment arrangement contemplated by Section 3.01(b) of the Employee Matters Agreement (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement), then the use of such Subcontractor shall require the prior written consent of Recipient (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
 
1.3.        Period Transition Services Will Be Provided.  Each Transition Service shall be provided beginning as of the Closing Date (or such later date as such Transition Service is added to the Services Schedule pursuant to Section 1.1(f) or Section 1.1(g), as applicable) and shall continue through the expiration of the term relating to such Transition Service as set forth in the Services Schedule or if no expiration date for such Transition Service is stated therein, such Transition Service will continue for the Term, unless (a) this Agreement is terminated in its entirety by the Parties in accordance with Section 1.5, (b) this Agreement or such Transition Service is terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with ARTICLE V, (c) Provider discontinues such Transition Service pursuant to Section 2.5 or (d) otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.
 
4

1.4.        Service Suspensions. Recipient acknowledges that the Transition Services may, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of Provider, be interrupted, suspended, allocated or reduced in whole or in part for (a) ordinary course or necessary modifications or maintenance relating to the Transition Services or (b) any other reasonable matters to the extent such matters equally affect other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider or its Affiliates receiving the same services (the “Service Suspensions”); provided, however, that (x) Provider shall conduct (and shall cause its Affiliates to conduct) any Service Suspension for the Transition Services, including with respect to bringing systems and services back online, on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider and its Affiliates, and (y) Provider shall notify (or cause its Affiliate to notify) Recipient or its applicable Affiliate of such Service Suspensions consistently with the manner in which it notifies its and its Affiliates’ businesses of the same Service Suspensions but, in any event, Provider shall give (or cause its Affiliate to give) Recipient or its applicable Affiliate reasonable advance notice of any planned Service Suspension, provided that, in the event of any unplanned Service Suspension for which advance notice is not practicable, Provider shall give (or cause its Affiliate to give) Recipient or its applicable Affiliate prompt notice thereof. Provider shall consider (or shall cause its Affiliate to consider) in good faith the impact of any such Service Suspension on Recipient or its applicable Affiliate and cooperate (or cause its Affiliate to cooperate) in good faith with Recipient or its applicable Affiliate and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse consequences to Recipient or its applicable Affiliate consistent with the manner in which it does so for its and its Affiliates’ businesses. Provider shall keep (or shall cause its Affiliate to keep) Recipient or its applicable Affiliate reasonably and promptly informed of the status and progress of any Service Suspension.

1.5.        Term
 
(a)         The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of the Closing Date and shall continue until the date that is the end of the calendar month that is the twenty-fourth (24th) full calendar month after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”), unless, subject to Section 1.5(b), this Agreement is earlier terminated in its entirety by the Parties in accordance with ARTICLE V or the Parties agree in writing to extend the Term.
 
(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Services Schedules, in no event shall Provider or its Affiliates have any obligation to provide any Transition Service beyond the Expiration Date or, if earlier, the term of such Transition Service as set forth in the applicable Services Schedule; provided, however, Recipient may, with ninety (90) days prior written notice, extend the term of such Transition Service (or, for any Transition Service identified in the applicable Services Schedule as being required to be extended or terminated as a group, with respect to such group of Transitional Services), for a period of up to six months, if Recipient determines in good faith such extension is reasonably necessary for the operation of Recipient’s business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any actual and reasonable increase to Provider or its Affiliates in the actual cost of providing a Transition Service may be charged to Recipient on a pass-through basis during the period of any extension to the extent such actual and reasonable increase is applied on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to other operations, businesses or divisions of Provider.
 
5

1.6.        Commingling of Cash.  To the extent Provider or any of its Affiliates shall have charge or possession of Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ cash or cash equivalents in connection with the provision of the Transition Services, Provider or its Affiliate shall (i) hold such cash or cash equivalents in the name and for the benefit of Recipient or its Affiliate and (ii) separately maintain, and not commingle, such cash or cash equivalents with any cash or cash equivalents of Provider or any of its Affiliates or any other Person.
 
1.7.        Intellectual Property.  Each Party (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up non-assignable and non-sublicensable (except to applicable Subcontractors) license to use any Intellectual Property Rights owned or sublicensable (without consent by or payment of any amounts to any third party) by the granting Party or its Affiliates, in each case solely if and to the extent such use is necessary for the other Party or its Affiliates to receive or provide (as applicable) the Transition Services hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, neither Party shall acquire any right, title or interest in the other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights by reason of the provision or receipt of the Transition Services. If Provider or any of its Affiliates creates any improvements or derivative works of Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ Intellectual Property Rights in the course of performing the Transition Services (“Improvements”), Recipient or such applicable Affiliates shall solely and exclusively own all rights in the same. If, in the course of providing any Transition Service, Provider or any of its Affiliates creates or develops any Intellectual Property Rights that are primarily related to Recipient’s business in connection with such Transition Service for or on behalf of Recipient or any of its Affiliates (“Newly Developed IP”), then, as between the Parties, such Newly Developed IP shall be solely and exclusively owned by Recipient or such applicable Affiliates upon creation or development, together with any Improvements, and shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent any such Improvements or Newly Developed IP would not qualify as a “work made for hire” under applicable Law, Provider (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers (and shall cause its Affiliates to assign and transfer) to Recipient (or any of its Affiliates designated by Recipient) all of the right, title and interest in, to and under such Improvements or Newly Developed IP.  To  the  extent  any  such  Improvements or Newly Developed IP (i) that are owned by SpinCo hereunder, relate to the Moon Business  as  of  immediately prior to the Distribution Time,  any such Improvements or Newly Developed IP shall be deemed included in the definition of “SpinCo Licensed IP” or (ii) that are owned by Moon hereunder,  relate to the SpinCo Business as of immediately prior to the Distribution Time, any such Improvements or Newly Developed IP shall be deemed included in the definition of “Moon Licensed IP”, in each case under the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement and licensed to the other Party and its applicable Affiliates thereunder.  The Parties shall take any and all actions and execute any and all other documents reasonably necessary to perfect, confirm and record the ownership of such Intellectual Property Rights as contemplated in this Section 1.7.
 
6

1.8.       Books and Records.  During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter (but without limitation to the provisions of the Merger Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document), Provider shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) keep accurate and complete, in all material respects, books and records relating to the provision of the Transition Services, including with respect to all Costs incurred in providing such Transition Services and reasonable supporting documentation (subject to Provider’s records retention policies, as such policies may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time), provided that the terms of Section 5.5 governing return of Recipient’s and its Affiliates’ records and data will control in the event of a termination of this Agreement. Provider shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) make such books and records and documentation (including financial data required for filings and audits, in either electronic or paper form) available to Recipient and its Affiliates, at the cost of Recipient, (i) upon reasonable written request, during normal business hours, (ii) subject to reasonably imposed security procedures and limitations and (iii) subject to compliance with Article IV of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
 
ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION FOR TRANSITION SERVICES
 
2.1.        Fees.  As consideration for each Transition Service actually received by Recipient and its Affiliates, Recipient shall pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, to Provider (or any of its Affiliates designated by Provider) for such Transition Service an amount equal to the cost of such Transition Service  as set forth on the Services Schedule, provided, that the cost of each Transition Service will be based upon the allocated cost of such service included in the “Transferring Corporate Costs vSent” (located in file 1.8.1 in the SpinCo Datasite (as defined in the Merger Agreement)).
 
2.2.        Set-Up Costs.  All fees, costs and expenses for the preparation and setting up activities described in Section 7.21(b) of the Merger Agreement (which are commonly referred to as transition services “set-up costs”) (“Set-Up Costs”), including any one-time license fees, one time set-up fees for software and engaging any third-party consultants to assist with such implementation and initiation, shall be borne as provided in Section 7.4 to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. To the extent that a Party or any of its Affiliates actually incurs any fees, costs or expenses which are Set-Up Cost allocated to the other Party, such Party shall reimburse (or cause its Affiliates to reimburse) the party incurring such amounts (and the provisions of Section 2.3 shall apply in respect of such reimbursements, mutatis mutandis).  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.2 shall not apply with respect to Approvals and Notifications, which matters are addressed in Section 2.5.
 
7

2.3.        Payment Terms. Provider shall present Recipient (on account of Transition Services provided to Recipient and its Affiliates) with monthly invoices for the Transition Services Provider and its Affiliates provide.  The format of such invoices shall include, without limitation, a brief description of the applicable Transition Services, the billing period, the applicable Costs, and such other information as Recipient may reasonably request to verify the quantity or volume of and Costs for the Transition Services. Recipient shall pay (or cause its Affiliates to pay), the undisputed amount of the monthly invoiced amount within forty-five (45) days after the date such monthly invoice was received. Any invoiced undisputed amounts not paid within such forty-five (45) day period shall be subject to interest from the due date until the date of payment, compounded monthly, at the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower). If Recipient in good faith disputes any portion of the amount due on any invoice, Recipient shall notify Provider in writing of the nature and basis of the dispute as soon as commercially reasonable, but no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of such invoice. If Recipient does not notify Provider of any disputed amounts within such forty-five (45) period, then Recipient will be deemed to have accepted Provider’s invoice. With respect to any invoiced amounts disputed by Recipient in good faith and notified to Provider in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.3, Recipient may, in its discretion, (i) withhold such amounts pending resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 3.2 or (ii) pay (or cause its Affiliates to pay) such amounts within the period set forth in the applicable invoice and seek reimbursement from Provider if such dispute is resolved in Recipient’s favor. Recipient shall pay (or cause its Affiliates to pay), or reimburse (or cause its Affiliates to reimburse) Provider for, the gross amount of any sales, use, excise, value-added or other similar tax (whether now existing or subsequently enacted) applicable to the amounts charged by Provider for Transition Services hereunder.  Provider shall include such taxes on the invoices provided in accordance with this Section 2.3 and shall be responsible for remitting (or causing the remission of) such taxes to the applicable taxing authority.  Each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all of their own other taxes imposed with respect to the provision of any Transition Services and any fees or charges in respect thereof, including without limitation franchise and similar taxes on capital, employment taxes associated with its employees, property taxes, gross receipts taxes, and taxes based on income. All amounts due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in (A) U.S. dollars or (B) if the Parties so agree, a foreign currency agreed by the Parties. With respect to Provider or any of its Affiliates that is domiciled outside of the United States that provides Transition Services to Recipient or any of its Affiliates that is domiciled outside the United States, if required by any applicable Law or otherwise reasonably requested by a Party or an Affiliate thereof, such non-U.S. Persons will enter into a local country agreement providing for the performance of such Transition Services.
 
2.4.        Audit Rights.  During the Term, and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, Recipient shall have the right to conduct or cause to be conducted, an audit of the data, books and records and other pertinent information of Provider and its Affiliates concerning the provision of Transition Services hereunder, including without limitation, for purposes of disputing the calculation of any fees charged under this Agreement or for preparing financial statements. Such audit shall be at Recipient’s cost and expense, provided, however, that if an error in the calculation of the amounts invoiced to Recipient resulting in an overcharge to Recipient and its Affiliates of 10% or more (compared to the amount set forth on the applicable invoice) is identified in any such audit, Provider shall bear the cost of such audit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the exercise of Recipient’s audit right, Provider shall also provide Recipient and its personnel and third-party accountants with reasonable access to Provider’s and its Affiliates’ pertinent personnel and third-party accountants (subject to execution of any access letters required by third-party accountants); provided that Provider and its personnel and third-party accountants shall not be required to provide information to Recipient or its personnel or third-party accountants that (x) is competitively sensitive or would waive any legal privilege (provided that in such case Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Recipient and its personnel and third-party accountants with such information in a form and/or manner that would not result in competitive harm or waive legal privilege), (y) requires a third-party consent, which Provider, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is not able to obtain, or (z) would be in violation of applicable Law. Recipient shall provide at least ten (10) Business Day’s advance notice of any such audit, and shall conduct such audit during normal business hours and in such a manner so as to reasonably minimize disruptions to Provider and its Affiliates.  No more than one (1) audit contemplated by this Section 2.3 may be conducted by Recipient during any 12-month period.

2.5.        Third-Party Consents; Contravention.

(a)         To the extent that any Approval or Notification is necessary for Provider and its Affiliates to provide the Transition Services to Recipient and its Affiliates, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4 to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, neither Moon nor SpinCo shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial or commercial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications. A Party shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement in connection with the provision, receipt or use of a Transition Service (or failure to do so) if and to the extent such breach is the result of a failure by the Parties to secure an Approval or Notification, and in such event the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to effect an alternate method of providing the Transition Services to Recipient or its applicable Affiliate to the extent reasonably practicable. If such good faith effort does not result in a solution mutually acceptable to the Parties within thirty (30) days, then upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice delivered to Recipient after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period Provider and its Affiliates shall be relieved of the obligation to perform such Transition Service.
 
(b)         Neither Provider nor its Affiliates shall be required to perform a Transition Service if the provision of such Transition Service by Provider or its Affiliate conflicts with or violates applicable Law. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any such conflict or violation as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4 to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, neither Moon nor SpinCo shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial or commercial accommodation) to any Person in order to resolve any such conflict or violation.  If Provider, Recipient, or any of their  respective Affiliates becomes aware of any of the foregoing conflicts or violations arising from provision of a Transition Service by Provider or its Affiliate, such Party shall promptly advise the other Party upon obtaining knowledge of such potential conflict or violation and Provider may suspend or cease (or cause its Affiliate to suspend or cease) providing such Transition Service. A Party shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement in connection with the provision, receipt or use of a Transition Service (or failure to do so) if and to the extent such breach is the result of a failure by the Parties to resolve any such conflict or violation, and in such event the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to effect an alternate method of providing the Transition Services to Recipient or its applicable Affiliate to the extent reasonably practicable.  If such good faith effort does not result in a solution mutually acceptable to the Parties within thirty (30) days, then upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice delivered to Recipient after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period Provider and its Affiliates shall be relieved of the obligation to perform such Transition Service.

ARTICLE III
GOVERNANCE AND DISPUTES
 
3.1.        Cooperation, Information and Access; Monthly Meeting.
 
(a)          The Parties will cooperate in good faith in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Transition Services and to minimize expense, distraction and disturbance to the other Party in performance of their respective obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recipient will provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to Provider in a timely manner, access to personnel, facilities and information required or reasonably requested by Provider in connection with providing the Transition Services; provided, however, Recipient shall not be required to provide (or cause its Affiliate to provide) access to information that (x) is competitively sensitive or would waive legal privilege (provided, that in such case Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (or cause its Affiliate to provide) Provider with such information in a form and/or manner that would not result in competitive harm or waive legal privilege), (y) requires a third-party consent, which Recipient or its Affiliates, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is not able to obtain or (z) would be in violation of applicable Law; provided that, in each case of clause (x) and (y), Provider will not be liable for breach of this Agreement for a failure to provide a Transition Service to the extent that such failure resulted from the failure of Recipient to provide access to such information.
 
(b)         Each Party agrees that all of its and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service providers and Subcontractors, when on the property of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or when given access to any equipment, computer, software, network or files owned or controlled by the other Party or any of its Affiliates, shall conform to the policies and procedures of such other Party or its Affiliate concerning health, safety and security (including physical security, network access, internet security, virus protection, disaster recovery, confidentiality, privacy and personal information security guidelines, policies and procedures) which are made known to such Party in advance in writing.
 
(c)         The Parties shall cooperate (and shall cause their Affiliates to) to ensure that any creation, collection, receipt, access, use, storage, disposal and disclosure of personal information hereunder does and will comply with all applicable Laws, including privacy and data protection Laws, as well as all applicable accepted industry standards. Recipient shall be advised immediately of any actual or attempted unauthorized access to or use of any technology, or any SpinCo Confidential Information or Moon Confidential Information, as the case may be (including any personal information of the Parties or their Affiliates) processed thereby or stored thereon (such unauthorized access or use, a “Security Breach”). Provider shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) take all reasonable measures, at its expense, to remediate such Security Breach in compliance with all applicable Laws and will cooperate with Recipient’s reasonable requests in responding to such Security Breach. Provider shall not (and shall not permit its Affiliates to) provide notice to or contact any third party regarding a Security Breach, whether actual or suspected, without the prior written consent of Recipient, except to the extent required by applicable Law. Each Party reserves the right to disconnect (or cause its Affiliate to disconnect) the other Party or its Affiliate immediately from its or its Affiliate’s network and suspend any affected Transition Services, to the extent it reasonably deems it necessary and would do so with respect to its own businesses or Affiliates under similar circumstances, if such Party determines that: (1) its network is being attacked by devices from within the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s network, or (2) any network provided to the other Party or its Affiliate by such Party or its Affiliate as a Transition Service under this Agreement has been connected to (i) the internet or any third party network in any manner other than through an approved network, or (ii) any wireless access point. Upon satisfactory remediation the disconnecting Party will reconnect (or will cause its Affiliate to reconnect) the other Party or its applicable Affiliate and resume any affected Transition Services.
 
10

(d)         Provider and Recipient understand that, from time to time, each may need to access the other’s or the other’s Affiliate’s software and related data and databases, in which there is no commercially practical method to partition or separately protect confidential data or information or to restrict access to certain proprietary networks or applications. If either Party believes there is a risk to their confidential information due to the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s ability to access confidential data, information, or proprietary network or applications, such Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to establish and implement (or cause its Affiliate to establish and implement) reasonable restrictions on the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s access to any software, data, databases, applications, or networks used in connection with the Transition Services. Such restrictions may be imposed only for the purposes of: (i) protecting security of data on physical and electronic networks; (ii) assuring compliance with Law or contract restrictions imposed by third parties; (iii) protecting the integrity of the data, applications, or networks; or (iv) protecting against the loss of any material competitive advantage. Each Party will give (or will cause its Affiliate to give) commercially reasonable notice to the other or its applicable Affiliate of the imposition of any such restrictions. Provider and Recipient agree that they will work together, in good faith, to minimize the need for any such restrictions and the interruption or degrading of any such Transition Services. Both Parties agree to comply (and to cause their Affiliates to comply) with applicable Law with respect to data collection, processing, use, transfer, protection and privacy.
 
(e)          During the Term, each Party shall nominate one (1) representative (together, “Lead TSA Coordinators”) who shall conduct a joint monthly meeting at a mutually agreed time to discuss all matters arising in connection with the provision of the Transition Services and the performance of the Agreement, provided, however, each such meeting may be canceled in advance upon the mutual agreement of the Lead TSA Coordinators.
 
(f)          The Lead TSA Coordinators may from time to time nominate functional team leaders, responsible for either (i) a designated geographical area in which Transition Services are being provided or (ii) designated Transition Services and such nominated Persons shall have the authority to handle such daily operational matters related to the applicable Transition Service or Transition Services (such Persons, the “Function Leads”). Function Leads shall not have authority or responsibility with respect to any Transition Services other than the Transition Services(s) with respect to which they have been designated as Function Leads by the Lead TSA Coordinators. Either Lead TSA Coordinator may, from time to time, by written notice to the other Lead TSA Coordinator nominate a replacement Function Lead for any Transition Service. Issues that cannot be resolved by the applicable Function Leads shall be escalated to the Lead TSA Coordinators in accordance with Section 3.2.
 
11

3.2.       Dispute Resolution.  Prior to initiating any Action, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Transition Services or this Agreement (including any dispute in respect of charges or payments pursuant to or otherwise governed by Section 2.3 or in respect of or following any audit pursuant to Section 2.4) (a “Dispute”) that cannot be resolved by the applicable Function Leads after fifteen (15) Business Days, shall be submitted first to the Lead TSA Coordinators, and the Lead TSA Coordinators shall seek to resolve such Dispute through good faith negotiation. In the event that any Dispute is not resolved by the Lead TSA Coordinators within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Dispute was referred to the Lead TSA Coordinators (during which time the Lead TSA Coordinators shall meet in person or by telephone as often as reasonably necessary to attempt to resolve the Dispute), the Lead TSA Coordinators shall escalate the Dispute to the chief financial officer of each Party for resolution. Upon such escalation, each TSA Project Lead will provide to his or her Party’s chief financial officer (i) the issues in dispute and such Party’s position thereon, (ii) a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting such Party’s position and (iii) a summary of the negotiations that have taken place to date. The chief financial officers shall meet in person or by telephone as often as reasonably necessary to resolve the Dispute and shall confer in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. If such chief financial officers decline to meet, or if they fail to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days after the matter was first referred to either of them (as such time period may be extended by them in writing), the Dispute shall be escalated to the chief executive officers of each Party and the Parties shall follow the same procedures described above with respect to the chief financial officers. If such chief executive officers decline to meet, or if they fail to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days, either Party may initiate an Action in accordance with Section 7.8 to resolve the Dispute. Any disputed amount determined by the Parties or a court to be payable to a Party, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), on the forty-fifth (45th) day after the applicable invoice was received by the other Party, from such date through the date of payment, shall be due and payable to the Party to which payment is due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as shall be specified by such Party within three (3) Business Days after such amounts are finally determined as provided in this Section 3.2.

TERMINATION

5.1.       Termination of Transition Services. Unless both of the Parties agree in writing to terminate this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety and Provider may not terminate any Transition Service, in whole or in part, during the Term, except as follows:
 
(a)        Recipient shall have the right to terminate any Transition Service, in whole or in part, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Provider, in each case, subject to the obligation to pay Early Termination Charges, as provided for under Section 5.2; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that Provider’s ability to provide (or cause to be provided) a Transition Service is dependent on the continuation by Recipient of another Transition Service (including continuation of access to a facility) to the extent expressly provided in the relevant Services Schedule, then Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate or reduce part of the scope or amount of, any such Transition Service unless, concurrently therewith, Recipient also terminates or reduces all such other interdependent Transition Services and (ii) to the extent that Provider informs Recipient that Provider’s actual cost of providing any other Transition Service would be increased by such termination or reduction, then Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate or reduce part of the scope or amount of, any such Transition Service unless, concurrently therewith, Recipient agrees to such increased Cost for such other Transition Services; and
 
(b)         if either Party materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement and such Party does not cure such breach within sixty (60) days after the fiftieth (50th) Business Day (or such other period as the Parties agree in writing) after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part (with respect to the Transition Services to which the breach relates), by providing written notice of termination to the Party in breach (it being understood that this Section 5.1(b) shall not limit the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 3.2); and
 
14

(b)         this Agreement may be terminated, effective immediately upon written notice, by a Party, if the other Party files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law or makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for it or a substantial part of its property.
 
5.2.        Effect of Termination of Service.
 
(a)         Upon termination or reduction of any Transition Service pursuant to this Agreement, Recipient shall pay (or cause its Affiliate to pay) to Provider (or any Affiliate designated by it) all applicable Early Termination Charges, which shall be invoiced and paid as provided in Section 2.3.Early Termination Charges” means any and all incremental out-of-pocket fees or expenses actually incurred and payable to any unaffiliated, third-party provider solely as a result of any early termination or reduction of a Transition Service (which fees and expenses may include breakage fees, or early termination fees or charges); for the avoidance of doubt, “Early Termination Charges” do not include any fees, costs or expenses incurred upon or in connection with the normal expiration of any Transition Service.
 
(b)         Upon termination of any Transition Service pursuant to this Agreement, Provider of the terminated Transition Service will have no further obligation to provide (or to cause its Affiliates to provide) any of the terminated Transition Services, and Recipient will have no obligation to pay (or to cause its Affiliate to pay) any future Costs relating to any such Transition Service; provided that such Recipient shall remain obligated to Provider for (i) Costs, any other fees, costs and expenses owed and payable per the terms of Article II with respect to Transition Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (ii) Early Termination Charges as invoiced by Provider to Recipient.

Upon a cessation of a Force Majeure Event, Provider shall use reasonable best efforts to resume its performance of any affected Transition Services in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1.1(b) with the least possible delay. So long as a Force Majeure Event persists, Recipient shall have the right, but not the obligation, (x) to obtain replacement services for the affected Transition Services for the duration of such Force Majeure Event from a third-party service provider at Recipient’s and Provider’s equally shared expense or (y) to terminate any Transition Service in whole or in part upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Provider.

Refund” means any refund (or credit in lieu thereof) of Taxes (including any overpayment of Taxes that can be refunded or, alternatively, applied to other Taxes payable) or other reduction or offset of Taxes otherwise payable, including any interest paid on or with respect to such refund of Taxes.  The amount of any Refund shall be determined net of any Taxes actually imposed by any Tax Authority on the Party receiving the refund, after accounting for the provisions of Section 5.1.

At SpinCo’s timely prior written request and expense, Moon shall (or shall cause a Moon Entity to) prepare any other Tax Return required to be filed by, or with respect to, any member of the SpinCo Group for any Straddle Period.

Section 2.3          Tax Reporting Practices.
 
(a)         Past Practices.  With respect to any Tax Return for which a Party is responsible for preparing such Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (unless the items reported on such Tax Return could not reasonably be expected to affect Tax Items reported on any Tax Return filed by the other Party or members of its Group), such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with the practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions applied in respect of any applicable Tax Item for Pre-Distribution Periods, as modified by the remainder of this Section 2.3(a) (“Past Practice”).  To the extent any Tax Items are not covered by Past Practice, or the Parties jointly determine that variance from Past Practice is required by applicable Tax Law (including as a result of a determination that there is not “substantial authority” for such position if reported in accordance with Past Practice), subject to the review rights described in Section 2.4, the Tax Return shall be prepared in the manner reasonably determined by the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, following good faith consultation with the other Party.
 
12

(b)         Reporting of Separation Transactions.  The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return (whether such Tax Return is for a Pre-Distribution Period or a Post-Distribution Period) shall be consistent with (i) the Intended Tax Treatment and (ii) the treatment thereof in any opinion or memorandum delivered in connection with the documentation thereof, which has been delivered as of the Distribution Date.  The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return for which SpinCo is responsible for preparing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be consistent with that on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by Moon or any member of the Moon Group or caused or to be caused to be filed by Moon, to the extent that SpinCo has knowledge of such reporting. In furtherance of the foregoing, Moon shall, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Due Date of any applicable Tax Return, provide to SpinCo, to the extent Moon has not previously made available, such information with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment and otherwise with respect to the intended tax treatment of the Separation Transactions as will enable SpinCo to file any Tax Return it is responsible for preparing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If SpinCo determines, in consultation with Moon and their respective Tax Advisors that there is no “substantial authority” for such reporting position, such disputed item (or items) shall be referred for resolution in accordance with Article XI. In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) with respect to a Tax Return is inconsistent with such Tax Return as filed, the Parties shall, as promptly as practicable, amend the applicable Tax Returns to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items).

13

(b)         Review of SpinCo-Prepared Tax Returns with Separate Moon Tax Liability.  Except with respect to Clover Consolidated Returns, which shall be governed by Section 2.4(d), SpinCo shall, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, submit to Moon a draft of each Tax Return it is required or permitted to file under this Article II to the extent such Tax Return reflects a Tax liability reasonably expected to be borne by Moon.  SpinCo shall consider in good faith any reasonable changes to such Tax Return submitted by Moon and shall, absent written consent of Moon (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), make any such changes with respect to an applicable Tax Item to the extent the relevant Tax Item would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Tax liability (including a liability under the provisions of this Agreement) for Moon (or a member of the Moon Group) for any Tax Period and such changes are submitted no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return (or, in the case of draft Tax Return delivered later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Due Date, as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Date).
 
(c)         Dispute Mechanics.  In the event any item for which proper notice of a dispute was given pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Section 2.4(b) was not finally resolved and agreed upon in accordance with the provisions thereof, the applicable Tax Return shall be filed or caused to be filed as prepared by the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Due Date, and such disputed item (or items) shall be referred for resolution in accordance with Article XI.  In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) with respect to a Tax Return is inconsistent with such Tax Return as filed, the Party responsible for preparing the applicable Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (with cooperation from the other Party) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such Tax Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items).  In the event that the amount of Taxes shown to be due and owing on a Tax Return is adjusted pursuant to applicable dispute resolution procedures, proper adjustment shall be made to the amounts previously paid or required to be paid in a manner that reflects such resolution.
 
(d)         Review of Consolidated Returns.  With respect to all Moon Consolidated Returns and Clover Consolidated Returns for the taxable year which includes the Distribution Date, Moon or Clover, as applicable shall use the closing of the books method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76, unless otherwise agreed by Moon and Clover, with respect to the determination of any Tax liability. Moon shall provide a draft, prepared in a manner that is consistent with Past Practice, of the portions of any Moon Consolidated Return that reflects a Tax liability reasonably expected to be borne by SpinCo or Clover (or a member of their respective Groups) to SpinCo for its review and comment at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Due Date for such Moon Consolidated Return; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Moon from timely filing any such Moon Consolidated Return; provided, further, Moon shall not be required to provide such draft if it determines in its sole discretion to waive any liability SpinCo and Clover may have in respect of such Tax liability and agrees such Tax shall not be treated as a SpinCo Tax.  Clover shall provide a draft, prepared in a manner that is consistent with Past Practice, of the portions of any Clover Consolidated Return that reflects a Tax liability reasonably expected to be borne by Moon (or a member of the Moon Group) to Moon for its review and comment at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Due Date for such Clover Consolidated Return, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Clover from timely filing any such Clover Consolidated Return; provided, further, Clover shall not be required to provide such draft if it determines in its sole discretion to waive any liability Moon may have in respect of such Tax liability and agrees such Tax shall not be treated as a Moon Tax. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve shall be resolved pursuant to Article XI.  In the event that any dispute is not resolved (whether pursuant to good faith negotiations among the Parties prior to the Due Date for the filing of any Moon Consolidated Return or Clover Consolidated Return, such Moon Consolidated Return or Clover Consolidated Return, as applicable, shall be timely filed by the relevant Party, and the Parties agree to amend such Moon Consolidated Return or Clover Consolidated Return, as applicable, as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute in a manner consistent with such resolution.

Section 2.5          Carrybacks and Amended Tax Returns.
 
(a)         Carrybacks. Except to the extent otherwise consented to by Moon in writing or prohibited by applicable Law, SpinCo (or the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group) shall elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo the carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Distribution Period to any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period with respect to members of the SpinCo Group (a “Carryback”).   In the event that SpinCo (or the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group) is prohibited by applicable Law to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo a Carryback (or Moon consents to a Carryback), Moon shall cooperate with SpinCo, at SpinCo’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such Refund as reasonably would result from such Carryback, to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to such Carryback, and shall pay over to SpinCo the amount of such Refund within ten (10) Business Days after such Refund is received; provided, however, that SpinCo shall indemnify and hold the members of the Moon Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the Moon Group if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the second sentence of this Section 2.5(a) shall not apply to any Refund of Moon Consolidated Taxes.
 
(b)         Amended Tax ReturnsExcept as provided in Section 2.3(b), Section 2.4(c) or Section 2.4(d) to reflect the resolution of any dispute pursuant to Article XI, any amended Tax Return with respect to any member of the SpinCo Group, or any Mixed Business Tax Return, may be made only (i) with respect to any Income Tax Return which includes Pre-Distribution Periods or any Tax Return if the applicable original Tax Return was filed before the Distribution Date, by Moon and (ii) with respect to any other Tax Return, by the Party responsible for preparing the applicable Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Party shall not file or cause to be filed any such amended Tax Return without the prior written consent of the other Party, if such filing, assuming it is accepted, could reasonably be expected to change the Tax liability of such other Party (or any member of its Group) for any Tax Period, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any Party permitted to make an amended Tax Return under this Section 2.5(b) is not permitted to file such amended Tax Return under applicable Law, such Party shall provide the amended Tax Return to the other Party which shall file (or cause to be filed) such amended Tax Return as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(b)         Moon shall in good faith (and without being required to undertake an attribute or similar study) advise Clover in writing of the portion, if any, of Tax Attributes, or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute, which shall be allocated or apportioned to the members of the SpinCo Group under applicable Law.  Moon shall consult in good faith with SpinCo regarding such allocation of Tax Attributes and determinations as to basis and valuation, and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely received from SpinCo. In the event that Clover disagrees with any such determination, Moon and Clover shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement, and, failing that, the allocations and apportionments under this Section 2.6(b) shall be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Article XI as promptly as practicable. To the extent applicable Law requires any member of the Moon Group to make a payment to a member of the SpinCo Group, or any member of the SpinCo Group to make a payment to a member of the Moon Group, with respect to any Tax Attribute, or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute, as a result of the Separation Transactions, such payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however that if any such payment is made by a member of the Moon Group to a member of the SpinCo Group, a corresponding payment of an equal amount shall be made by the SpinCo Borrower to Moon LuxCo, and if any such payment is made by a member of the SpinCo Group to a member of the Moon Group, a corresponding payment of an equal amount shall be made by Moon LuxCo to the SpinCo Borrower.
 
(c)         All members of the Moon Group, SpinCo Group and Clover Group shall prepare all Tax Returns and compute all Taxes for Post-Distribution Periods in accordance with the final allocation of Tax Attributes delivered under Section 2.6(b), except as otherwise required by a Final Determination.  In the event of an adjustment to any Tax Attribute as a result of a Final Determination, Moon or SpinCo, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such adjustment, and the reduction or increase in Tax Attributes shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was initially allocated pursuant to this Section 2.6 and, if necessary, an appropriate adjustment payment shall be made by the applicable Party, consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(a)         GeneralFor all purposes of this Agreement, a Tax and any Tax Items shall be considered attributable to the SpinCo Business on the one hand and the Moon Business on the other (but not both) to the extent that such Tax and/or Tax Item would result if such Tax Return were prepared on a separate basis taking into account only the operations and assets of the SpinCo Business on the one hand and only the operations and assets of the Moon Business on the other hand (but not both), as applicable, which allocation shall, in respect of Income Taxes, be jointly determined by Moon and SpinCo in good faith and subject to dispute resolution under Article XI, (i) using Past Practices and (ii) applying the highest applicable statutory marginal corporate income Tax rate in effect for the applicable Tax Period.  With respect to any other Tax Items, Moon and SpinCo shall jointly determine in good faith consistent with Past Practices and subject to dispute resolution under Article XI, which Tax Items are properly attributable to assets or activities of the SpinCo Business and Moon Business, respectively (and in the case of a Tax Item that is properly attributable to both the SpinCo Business and the Moon Business, the allocation of such Tax Item between the SpinCo Business and the Moon Business).

(b)         Straddle Period Tax AllocationMoon and SpinCo shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to close the taxable year of SpinCo and each member of the SpinCo Group for all Tax purposes as of the close of the Distribution Date to the extent permissible or required under applicable Law.  If applicable Law does not require or permit SpinCo or any SpinCo Entity, as the case may be, to close its taxable year on the Distribution Date, then the allocation of Tax Items required to determine any Taxes or other amounts attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on, or beginning after, the Distribution Date shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group as of the close of the Distribution Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis shall be allocated between such portions in proportion to the number of days in each such portion; provided, further, that real property and other property or similar periodic Taxes shall be apportioned on a per diem basis. In the case of any Income Tax payable under Section 951(a) of the Code or Section 951A(a) of the Code (or similar provisions of state or local Law) with respect to each member of the SpinCo Group that will be a controlled foreign corporation immediately after the Distribution within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code, for any Straddle Period the aggregate amount of such Tax allocable to the Pre-Distribution Period shall not exceed the aggregate amount that would have been payable by members of the Moon Group and the SpinCo Group if the taxable years of members of the Moon Group and the SpinCo Group ended at the end of the day on the Distribution Date (determined, for this purpose, taking into account each of the Separation Transactions but disregarding the Merger and any Extraordinary Transaction).
 
(c)         Extraordinary Transactions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties shall report any Extraordinary Transactions taking place on the Distribution Date after the Effective Time as occurring on the day after the Distribution Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or any similar or analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law.

(b)         Adjustments Resulting in Underpayments.  In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to any Tax Return, the Party responsible for filing the applicable Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax due with respect to such Tax Return required to be paid as a result of such adjustment pursuant to such Final Determination.  Such Party shall compute the amount attributable to the SpinCo Group or the Moon Group (as the case may be) in accordance with this Agreement and SpinCo shall pay to Moon any amount due Moon (or Moon shall pay SpinCo any amount due SpinCo) under this Agreement no later than the later of (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the Due Date for payment and (ii) ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of a written notice and demand from such Party for payment of the amount due, accompanied by a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, however, the obligation described under this Section 4.1(b) shall not commence to the extent the other Party was not previously notified of the potential adjustment under the provisions of Article X, in which case the obligation shall accrue on the date of the other Party’s receipt of written notice and demand under clause (ii) of this Section 4.1(b), and interest shall accrue only from such later date.
 
(c)         Discharge of Indemnity.  A Party (or any member of its Group) seeking indemnity under Article III shall provide written notice of, and a reasonable basis for, its claim to the other Party (or Parties, or any member of their respective Groups) from which it is seeking indemnification, and such other Party (or Parties, or the applicable member of their respective Groups) shall discharge its (or their) indemnification obligations, subject to Section 4.1(b), by paying the relevant amount within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor.  If any Party (or any member of its Group) disputes in good faith the fact or the amount of its indemnification obligation, then no payment of the amount in dispute shall be required until any such good faith dispute is resolved in accordance with Article XI, but interest shall accrue from the date payment would otherwise have been due.
 
Section 4.2          Treatment of Indemnification and Other Payments.
 
(a)         Any Tax indemnity payment required to be made by a Party responsible to make an indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be reduced by any corresponding Tax Benefit to the indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) actually realized or recognized during or prior to the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made or during the two (2) subsequent taxable years.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Benefit is treated as corresponding to a Tax indemnity payment to the extent the Tax Benefit realized is directly attributable to the same Tax Item (or adjustment of such Tax Item pursuant to a Final Determination) that gave rise to the Tax indemnity payment.
 
(b)         Except as otherwise agreed between Moon and SpinCo and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties shall cause all indemnification payments under this Agreement to be made by Moon LuxCo to the SpinCo Borrower and by the SpinCo Borrower to Moon LuxCo.  To the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, Moon and SpinCo agree to treat (and to cause each member of their respective Group to treat) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Distribution Date) as either a contribution by Moon LuxCo to SpinCo or a distribution by SpinCo to Moon LuxCo, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Separation Transaction pursuant to which SpinCo was distributed out of Moon LuxCo.

Tax Refunds
 
Section 5.1          Tax Refunds and Credits.
 
(a)         Each Party (and its Affiliates) shall be entitled to, and the other Party shall, at the written request and expense of the first Party (such Party, the “Refund Party”), use commercially reasonable efforts to claim, all Refunds that relate to Taxes for which the Refund Party (or its Affiliates) is liable under Article III.  To the extent that a particular Refund of Taxes may be allocable to a Tax Period or reflected on a Tax Return with respect to which the Parties may share liability under this Agreement, the portion of such Refund to which each Refund Party will be entitled shall be determined by comparing the relative liability of such Refund Party for the Taxes shown on the applicable Tax Return, taking into account the facts as utilized for purposes of claiming such Refund.  Any Refund to which a Refund Party is entitled that is received by the other Party shall be paid to such Refund Party within ten (10) days of, in the case of a cash Refund, such other Party’s actual receipt of the Refund from the applicable Tax Authority or, in the case of any Refund that reduces or offsets Taxes otherwise payable by such other Party, the earlier of the Due Date for such Tax liability or the date such Tax liability is actually paid.
 
(b)         To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 5.1 is later reduced by a Tax Authority or pursuant to a Final Determination in a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Refund Party and, if necessary, an appropriate adjustment payment shall be made to the other Party, consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
Deduction and Reporting of Employee Awards
 
Section 6.1          Moon and SpinCo Income Tax Deductions in Respect of Certain Equity Awards and Compensation.  Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, solely the member of the Group for which the relevant individual is currently employed or, if such individual is not currently employed by a member of the Group, was most recently employed at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of equity awards and other compensation shall be entitled to claim any Income Tax deduction in respect of such equity awards and other compensation on its respective Tax Return associated with such event; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Moon (or the applicable member of the Moon Group) shall be entitled to claim any Income Tax deduction associated with the exercise of either (x) an Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Option by any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee or (y) an Adjusted Unvested Moon Stock Option by any Former SpinCo Employee, or associated with the settlement of a Moon RSU held by a Former SpinCo Employee. All capitalized terms used in this Section 6.1 and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given to such term in the Employee Matters Agreement.

(b)         SpinCo and Clover shall have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion that confirms that such action or actions will not adversely affect the Intended Tax Treatment, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate, in form and substance satisfactory to Moon in its discretion, which discretion shall be reasonably exercised in good faith to prevent the imposition on Moon, or responsibility for payment by Moon, of Distribution Taxes (including any representations or assumptions that may be included in such Unqualified Tax Opinion).
 
23

(c)         Moon’s evaluation of a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

ARTICLE VIII

Reporting, Cooperation and Record Retention
 
Section 8.1          Assistance and Cooperation.

24

(b)         Any information or documents provided under this Section 8.1 shall be kept confidential by the Party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) no Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide another Party or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Proceeding) other than information or procedures that reasonably relate to the Taxes (including any Taxes for which the first Party is liable under this Agreement), business or assets of the first Party or any of its Affiliates or are necessary to prepare Tax Returns for which the first Party is responsible for preparing the applicable Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in no event shall any Party or its Affiliates be required to provide another Party, any of its Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege.  In addition, in the event that a Party determines that the provision of any information to another Party or any of its Affiliates could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the first Party shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 8.1 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.
 
Section 8.2          Return Information.  SpinCo and Moon acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by Moon or SpinCo pursuant to Section 8.1 or this Section 8.2.  Each Party shall provide to the other Parties information and documents relating to its Group reasonably required by the other Parties to prepare Tax Returns.  Any information or documents a Party responsible for preparing a Tax Return in accordance with the terms of this Agreement requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as such Party reasonably requests and in sufficient time for such Party to prepare such Tax Returns on a timely basis.
 
Section 8.3          Non-Performance.  If a Party (or any of its Affiliates) fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Article VIII upon reasonable request and notice by the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) and such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes, the non-performing Party shall be liable in full for such additional Taxes.
 
Section 8.4          Costs.  Each Party shall devote the personnel and resources necessary in order to carry out this Article VIII and shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder.  Each Party shall carry out its responsibilities under this Article VIII at its own cost and expense.
 
Section 8.5          Retention of Tax Records.  Each Party shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Moon shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”).  After the Retention Date, each Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party.  If, prior to the Retention Date, a Party reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8.5 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Party agrees, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party.  The notified Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such ninety (90) Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records.  If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Party determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such Party may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party and the other Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90) Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 9.1          Notice.  Within ten (10) Business Days after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to Taxes for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to Article III, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Tax Proceeding, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Proceeding.  The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding within such ten (10) Business Day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(a)          Moon Income Tax Returns.

ARTICLE X

Interest Payments
 
Section 10.1        Interest Under This Agreement.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent an Indemnifying Party makes a payment of interest to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnified Party made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnifying Party reimbursed the Indemnified Party for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnifying Party (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the Indemnified Party (includible in income to the extent provided by law).  The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnifying Party or increase in Tax to the Indemnified Party.
 
28

ARTICLE XI

Disagreements
 
Section 11.1        Discussion.  The Parties mutually desire that collaboration will continue between them.  Accordingly, the Parties will, and will cause the respective members of their Groups to, use reasonable efforts to resolve via bilateral discussion all disagreements in respect of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement.  In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement between any member of the Moon Group and any member of the Clover Group or SpinCo Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of the other Party’s obligations hereunder, representatives of each of the Parties, including members of their respective Tax departments, shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. The Parties agree that the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes; provided, however, that any Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration before any court of competent jurisdiction if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage. Despite such action, the Parties shall continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Article XI.
 
Section 11.2        Referral to Independent Arbiter.  In the event any dispute between the Parties as to any matter covered by this Agreement is not resolved by bilateral discussion, the Parties shall appoint, with respect to any matter requiring the determination of the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, a U.S. law firm of national standing or, with respect any other matter, an internationally recognized independent public accounting firm (in each case, the “Independent Arbiter”) to resolve such dispute.  In this regard, the Independent Arbiter shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by Moon, SpinCo and Clover and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator.  The Parties shall require the Independent Arbiter to resolve all disputes no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Independent Arbiter, and agree that all decisions by the Independent Arbiter with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties.  The Independent Arbiter shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in a manner consistent with Past Practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.  The Parties shall require the Independent Arbiter to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination.  The fees and expenses of the Independent Arbiter shall be borne by the Parties based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Arbiter’s resolution of the disputed items (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Arbiter (for example, if the total amount of the disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Arbiter equals $1,000 and the Independent Arbiter awards $600 in favor of the first Party’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Arbiter would be borne by the other Party and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Arbiter would be borne by the first Party); provided, that if the matters referred to the Independent Arbiter cannot reasonably be reduced to monetary amounts (e.g., if such matters relate to the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement) the Independent Arbiter shall make a good faith allocation of such fees and expenses based on the foregoing principle.

A preliminary Schedule 3.01(a) was provided to Clover on the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed, which preliminary schedule listed, by name or unique employee identification number, all Group 1 Employees, Group 2 Employees, and Group 3 Employees as of April 8, 2019, and such schedule was updated with respect to Group 1 Employees, Group 2 Employees, and Group 3 Employees following such date to remove terminated Employees, to add any Employees hired to replace any such terminated Employees, and to add any newly hired Employees who would be a Group 1 Employee, Group 2 Employee, or Group 3 Employee in the ordinary course of business, and to correct any inadvertent errors in such preliminary schedule. Schedule 3.01(a) and the definition of Group 4 Employee shall not include any Employee who would otherwise qualify as a Group 4 Employee but who is scheduled for termination or has received the lowest performance rating with respect to any review period that ended during the twelve (12) month period ending on the Distribution Date.

From and after the commencement of a Delayed Transfer Employee’s employment with the Destination Employer, such Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if such Delayed Transfer Employee commenced employment with the Destination Employer as of the Distribution.

14

(c)          Allocation of Responsibilities as Employer. At the Distribution Time, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the SpinCo Group shall retain or assume, as the case may be, responsibility as employer of the SpinCo Employees.

Prior to the Distribution Time, Moon and SpinCo shall have caused a SpinCo Entity to assume and be solely and exclusively responsible for all Employee Agreements entered into prior to the Distribution Time, and all obligations and Liabilities with respect thereto, to be effective as of the Distribution Time, and as of and after the Distribution Time the Moon Entities shall have no obligations or Liabilities with respect to such Employee Agreements.

For the period from the Effective Time through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time, and without limiting any other provisions in this Agreement or in any Employee Agreement, Clover shall, or shall cause SpinCo or an Affiliate to, provide to each Former SpinCo Employee retiree medical and other post-employment retirement benefits that are no less favorable than such benefits as in effect under the Moon Group Health Plan and Moon Group Retiree Health Plan for such Former SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
15

(f)           Relocations. Without limiting clause (iv) of Section 3.01(e) above, for the period from the Effective Time through the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time, Clover shall, or shall cause SpinCo or an Affiliate to, provide to any SpinCo Employee whose principal work location is relocated from his or her principal work location immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any SpinCo Employee who is repatriated to his or her home country following an out-of-country work assignment, such relocation and/or repatriation benefits that are no less favorable to the SpinCo Employee than the relocation and/or repatriation benefits that would have been provided to such SpinCo Employee in connection with a relocation and/or repatriation prior to the Effective Time under the applicable relocation or repatriation policies of Moon and its Affiliates.
 
(g)          Service Credit. From and after the Effective Time, Clover shall give each SpinCo Employee full credit for such SpinCo Employee’s service with the Moon Group and/or SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time as service with the Clover Group for determining the amount of paid time off and vacation or sick leave, and the level of employer contributions under any defined contribution retirement plan, and for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, and benefit accruals (if applicable) under all applicable employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements, and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, defined contribution (for example, 401(k)), deferred compensation, savings, medical, dental, life insurance, disability, vacation, long-service leave and other leave entitlements, post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, and severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by Clover or any of its Affiliates (including the SpinCo Entities) under which such SpinCo Employee is eligible to participate after the Effective Time, in each case to the same extent recognized by the Moon Entities and/or SpinCo Entities immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that no such service credit will be given (i) for benefit accruals under defined benefit pension plans or post-retirement health plans or for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits, in each case under any employee benefit plan in which the SpinCo Employee first becomes eligible to participate after the Effective Time (other than any plan providing benefits in replacement of benefits provided under a benefit plan in which the SpinCo Employee participated prior to the Effective Time) or (ii) to the extent that such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

Effective as of the Effective Time, Moon shall cause the Moon Savings Plan to spin off to the Clover Savings Plan the portion of the Moon Savings Plan attributable to the SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees, as well as to any respective Plan Payees, such spin-off to include (but not be limited to) any and all of such individual’s accounts, Liabilities, related Assets, unvested amounts, zero dollar accounts, forfeited accounts, un-locatable participant accounts, and outstanding loan balances, and Clover or one of its Affiliates shall cause the Clover Savings Plan to accept the merger of such spun-off portion of the Moon Savings Plan. All Assets shall be transferred in cash as soon as administratively practicable thereafter and shall be mapped to appropriate investment options in the Clover Savings Plan pursuant to Section 404(c)(4) of ERISA or to the appropriate qualified default investment fund under the Clover Savings Plan pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA. Such spin-off and merger shall be conducted in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA. The benefits of the SpinCo Employees participating in the Moon Savings Plan as of immediately prior to the plan merger described in this Section 3.02(c) shall be preserved in the Clover Savings Plan effective as of the plan merger described in this Section 3.02(c) to the extent required under the anti-cutback rules of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.
 
Section 3.03         Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

(a)          Establishment of SpinCo Pension Plan. No later than the day prior to the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall have established a defined benefit pension plan (such new defined benefit pension plan, the “SpinCo Pension Plan”) that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and related trust that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 501(a) of the Code to provide defined benefit pension benefits to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees who immediately prior to the Effective Time were participants in the Moon Pension Plan. The SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees described herein shall be known as the “SpinCo Pension Plan Participants.”  Effective as of the Effective Time, either SpinCo shall remain the plan sponsor of the SpinCo Pension Plan or Clover shall or shall cause another Affiliate to assume the SpinCo Pension Plan. Clover shall be responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions to maintain and administer the SpinCo Pension Plan so that it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Clover (acting directly or through members of the Clover Group or the SpinCo Group) shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities (including Liability for funding) and other obligations with respect to the SpinCo Pension Plan.

18

(b)          Assumption of Moon Pension Plan Liabilities. Effective as of the Distribution Date, Clover (acting directly or through members of the Clover Group or the SpinCo Group) hereby agrees to cause the SpinCo Pension Plan to assume, fully perform, pay, and discharge all Liabilities under the Moon Pension Plan relating to the SpinCo Pension Plan Participants as of the Distribution Date.
 
(c)          Transfer of the Moon Pension Plan Assets.
 
(i)          The Parties intend that the portion of the Moon Collective Trust Fund relating to the Moon Pension Plan covering SpinCo Pension Plan Participants shall be transferred to the SpinCo Pension Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Distribution Date, Moon and Clover (acting directly or through members of the Clover Group or the SpinCo Group) shall, to the extent necessary, file, or cause to be filed, an IRS Form 5310-A regarding the transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the Moon Collective Trust Fund to the SpinCo Pension Plan.
 
(ii)         Prior to the Distribution Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Moon shall have caused the Moon Actuary to determine the estimated value, as of the Distribution Date, of the Assets to be transferred from the Moon Collective Trust Fund to the SpinCo Pension Plan in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 3.03(c) attached hereto (the “Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount”).
 
(iii)        On or about the Distribution Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Moon and Clover (acting directly or through members of the Clover Group or the SpinCo Group) shall cooperate in good faith to cause an initial transfer of Assets from the Moon Collective Trust Fund to the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan in an amount to be approximately ninety percent (90%) of the Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount (such amount, the “Initial Transfer Amount”). Moon shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(iii) by causing the Moon Collective Trust Fund to transfer Assets equal to the Initial Transfer Amount. Assets may be transferred in cash, cash equivalents, or securities, or if acceptable to Clover, in kind, or in a combination of the foregoing, as determined by Moon in its sole discretion (other than Assets in kind).
 
19

(iv)        Within sixty (60) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the Distribution Date, Moon shall cause the Moon Actuary to provide Clover with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Distribution Date, of the Assets of the Moon Collective Trust Fund to be transferred to the SpinCo Pension Plan determined in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 3.03(c) attached hereto (the “Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount”). Clover may submit, at its sole cost and expense, the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount to the Clover Actuary for verification; provided, that such verification process and any calculation performed by the Clover Actuary in connection therewith shall be performed solely on the basis of the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 3.03(c) attached hereto. In order to perform such verification, upon request from Clover, the Moon Actuary shall provide the Clover Actuary with the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate the Initial Transfer Amount and the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount. Clover will be responsible for the cost and expense of the Clover Actuary, and Moon will be responsible for the cost and expense for the Moon Actuary. If the Clover Actuary so determines that the value, as of the Distribution Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the SpinCo Pension Plan differs from the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount, the Clover Actuary shall identify in writing to the Moon Actuary all objections to the Moon Actuary’s determination within sixty (60) days following provision of the revised value calculation to Clover pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.03(c)(iv), and the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary shall use good-faith efforts to reconcile any such difference. The Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount shall be deemed final if the Clover Actuary does not submit written objections to the Moon Actuary within such sixty (60) day period. If the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary fail to reconcile such differences, the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary shall jointly designate a third, independent actuary whose calculation of the value, as of the Distribution Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the SpinCo Pension Plan shall be final and binding; provided, that such value must be between the value determined by the Clover Actuary and the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount or equal to either such value. Such calculation shall be performed within a reasonable period of time, but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days, following designation of such third actuary and in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 3.03(c) attached hereto. Moon and Clover shall each pay one half (½) of the costs incurred in connection with the retention of such independent actuary. The final, verified value, as of the Distribution Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the SpinCo Pension Plan as determined in accordance with this Section 3.03(c)(iv) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount.”
 
(v)         Within forty-five (45) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the determination of the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount, Moon shall cause the Moon Collective Trust Fund to transfer to the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan (the date of such transfer, the “Final Transfer Date”) the amounts in cash, cash equivalents, securities, or if acceptable to Clover, in kind, or in a combination of the foregoing, as determined by Moon in its sole discretion (other than Assets in kind), equal to (A) the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount minus (B) the Initial Transfer Amount (such difference, as adjusted to reflect earnings or losses as described in this Section 3.03(c)(v), the “True-Up Amount”); provided, that, if the True-Up Amount is negative, Moon shall not be required to cause any such additional transfer and instead Clover shall be required to cause a transfer of cash, cash equivalents, or securities, or, if acceptable to Moon, Assets in kind, or a combination of the foregoing, from the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan to the Moon Collective Trust Fund as required in an amount equal to the absolute value of the True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the Moon Collective Trust Fund’s transfer of the True-Up Amount to the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Moon to cause the transfer of, and the Moon Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the SpinCo Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(v). The True-Up Amount, if any, shall be adjusted to reflect fees or charges paid or incurred, and earnings or losses, during the period from the Distribution Date to the Final Transfer Date. Such earnings or losses shall be determined based on the actual rates of return of the Moon Pension Plan for the period commencing as of the Distribution Date and ending as close as administratively practicable to the Final Transfer Date. If Clover is obligated to cause the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan to reimburse the Moon Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(v), such reimbursements shall be performed in accordance with the same principles set forth herein with respect to the payment of the True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the SpinCo Pension Plan’s transfer of such reimbursement amounts to the Moon Collective Trust Fund shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Clover to cause the transfer of, and the trust of the SpinCo Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the Moon Collective Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(v).

20

Section 3.04          Retirement Benefits Funding Obligations.
 
(a)          Pre-Distribution ARA and ARL Estimates. Prior to the Distribution Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Moon shall have caused the Moon Actuary to determine the estimated value of the ARA (with the value of Assets related to the SpinCo Pension Plan to be determined based on the Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount, determined in accordance with Section 3.03(c)) and the ARL and to deliver to Clover and the Clover Actuary for their review written reports of the estimates for each such component value, together with reasonable supporting detail, including for each such component an estimate for each SpinCo Employee and Former Employee participating in each applicable plan. The Moon Actuary shall provide the Clover Actuary with the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate such estimated amounts and such other information reasonably requested by the Clover Actuary to review such estimated amounts.
 
(b)          Determination of ARA and ARL. As promptly as possible (and in any event no more than fifteen (15) days) after the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount is definitively determined, Moon shall cause the Moon Actuary to deliver to Clover and the Clover Actuary revised reports setting forth Moon’s good-faith calculations of each of the ARA and the ARL, together with reasonable supporting detail, including for each such component value, the value for each SpinCo Employee and Former Employee participating in each applicable plan. The Moon Actuary shall provide the Clover Actuary with the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate such amounts and such other information reasonably requested by the Clover Actuary to review such amounts. The Clover Actuary shall identify in writing to the Moon Actuary all objections to the Moon Actuary’s calculations of the ARA and the ARL within thirty (30) days following provision of the revised calculations, supporting detail, data, and methodology to the Clover Actuary pursuant to this Section 3.04(b), and the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary shall use good-faith efforts to reconcile any such difference. The calculations shall be deemed final if the Clover Actuary does not submit written objections to the Moon Actuary within such thirty (30) day period. If the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary fail to reconcile such differences, the Clover Actuary and the Moon Actuary shall jointly designate a third, independent actuary (which third actuary shall be the same actuary as was designated under Section 3.03(c)(iv), unless both Parties agree otherwise or such third actuary declines the designation) to calculate the ARA and the ARL, whose calculations of each such value shall be final and binding; provided, that each such component value must be between the corresponding value determined by the Moon Actuary and the Clover Actuary or equal to either such value. Such third actuary’s calculations shall be performed within a reasonable period of time, but no more than sixty (60) days, following the designation of such third actuary. Moon shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the Moon Actuary, and Clover shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the Clover Actuary related to the matters in this Section 3.04. Moon and Clover shall each pay one half (½) of the costs incurred in connection with the retention of a third actuary.
 
21

(c)          Moon Payment. Within thirty (30) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) after the final determination of the ARA and the ARL in accordance with Section 3.04(b), Moon shall make a cash payment to Clover equal to either (x) if the ARL exceeds $600 million, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Underfunding over $186 million, or (y) if the ARL is $600 million or less, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Aggregate Underfunding over (ii) the product of (A) 0.31 and (B) the ARL.
 
Section 3.05         Moon UK Pension Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties hereby agree, and Moon shall take all steps necessary to ensure, that (i) the Moon UK Pension Plan will not transfer to or with any SpinCo Entity in connection with the Distribution and shall remain with the Moon Group from and after the Distribution Time, (ii) no SpinCo Entity will become, assume, or continue as a participating employer in the Moon UK Pension Plan for the purposes of UK pensions legislation on and following the Distribution Time, nor will it (or any Clover Entity) have any Liability thereunder or with respect thereto, including in relation to any statutory debt on the employer under Section 75 or 75A of the Pensions Act 1995 from and after the Distribution Time, and (iii) from and after the Distribution Time, no SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees will be active members accruing benefits in the Moon UK Pension Plan.
 
Section 3.06         Nonqualified Plans.
 
(a)          Moon Deferred Compensation Plans. SpinCo Employees shall not be permitted to defer compensation or accrue benefits under the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans after the Distribution Time.
 
(b)          SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans. Prior to the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall have taken all actions necessary and appropriate to establish for the benefit of SpinCo Employees one or more deferred compensation plans (collectively, the “SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans”) to provide each SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee who was a participant in one or more of the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date (each, a “SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary”) benefits in respect of service and compensation following the Distribution Date that are substantially identical to those accrued with respect to such person under, and the opportunity to defer compensation and accrue benefits on a basis that is substantially identical to, the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date. As of the Distribution Date, the SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees shall no longer participate in the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans. The Parties agree that for purposes of the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans, a SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary shall not be considered to have incurred a separation from service as determined under the general rules of Section 409A of the Code as a result of the Distribution or the transfer of employment or service from Moon (or a Moon Entity) to SpinCo (or SpinCo Entity), and such employment or service shall be considered to terminate for purposes of the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans only when the employment or service of such SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary with the SpinCo Group terminates in accordance with the terms of the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans and applicable Laws.
 
22

(c)          Liability and Responsibility. The Liabilities in respect of SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiaries under the Moon Deferred Compensation Plans shall be assumed by SpinCo, effective as of the Distribution Date. SpinCo shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans and the payment of benefits thereunder to or on behalf of SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiaries, and no member of the Moon Group shall have any Liability or responsibility therefor. During the Designated Survival Period and subject to Schedule 3.06(c), Clover shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate (including any SpinCo Entity) to, terminate or amend any SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan in a manner that is adverse in any respect to any SpinCo Employee.
 
(d)          Section 409A. The Parties will cooperate in good faith so that the transfers contemplated by this Section 3.06(d) will not result in adverse Tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.
 
Section 3.07         Short-Term Bonuses for Closing Plan Year; Earned but Unpaid Incentive Compensation. Immediately prior to the Distribution Time, Moon shall have paid (a) all earned but unpaid bonuses, commissions, and other cash-based incentive compensation due to any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee under any Employee Agreement, SpinCo Benefit Plan, or Moon Benefit Plan, and (b) to each bonus-eligible SpinCo Employee a bonus, calculated based on actual performance through the Distribution Date or assuming the target level of performance, in each case as determined by Moon in its sole discretion, pursuant to any cash incentive or bonus program of the Moon Group in which such SpinCo Employee is a participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date, prorated to correspond with the SpinCo Employee’s applicable period of employment with Moon during the Closing Plan Year. Effective as of the Distribution Time, Clover shall or shall cause another Affiliate to cause each bonus-eligible SpinCo Employee to become a participant in a cash incentive or bonus program of the Clover Group for the remainder of the Closing Plan Year; provided, that the cash incentive or bonus program of the Clover Group provides, in the aggregate, similar achievement opportunities as the SpinCo Employee was entitled to prior to the Distribution Date. Clover shall be responsible for any payment to which a SpinCo Employee may be entitled under a cash incentive or bonus program of the Clover Group following the Distribution Time.
 
23

Section 3.08          Health and Welfare Benefits.
 
(a)          Moon Group Health Plan. Effective as of the Distribution Date (or as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement), SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees will cease to participate in the Moon Group Health Plan.
 
(b)          Clover Group Health Plan. Prior to the Effective Time (or as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement), Clover shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, take, or cause to be taken, or have taken, all action necessary and appropriate to establish or designate and administer a group health and welfare benefits plan for the benefit of all SpinCo Employees and eligible dependents effective as of the Effective Time (or as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement) (the “Clover Group Health Plan”) and to provide benefits thereunder for all eligible SpinCo Employees and eligible dependents who choose to enroll in such Plan. Clover will cause such Clover Group Health Plan to permit enrollment immediately (or at such time as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement) by those SpinCo Employees and their dependents who immediately prior to the Distribution Time were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under, the Moon Group Health Plan, and shall recognize the most recent hire date of such SpinCo Employee with Moon or a member of the controlled group of organizations of which Moon is a part (as defined by Section 414 of the Code and regulations issued thereunder) for purposes of determining whether such SpinCo Employee has met any otherwise-applicable waiting period. The Clover Group Health Plan (or, to the extent provided in the Transition Services Agreement, the Clover Group) will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims incurred by SpinCo Employees and their dependents on or following the Effective Time, regardless of when the injury or medical condition giving rise to the claim occurred. The Moon Group Health Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims incurred by SpinCo Employees and their dependents before the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.08(c), a claim is deemed to be incurred (i) with respect to medical, dental, vision, or prescription drug benefits, as applicable, on the date on which the services are performed or the goods are provided, regardless of when the injury or medical condition giving rise to the claim occurred, (ii) with respect to life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance, on the date on which the event giving rise to such claim occurs, and (iii) with respect to disability benefits, on the date on which a person’s disability begins, as determined by the disability benefit insurer or claims administrator, giving rise to such claim.
 
(c)          Clover Group Retiree Health Plan.

Clover will cause such Clover Group Retiree Health Plan to permit enrollment immediately (or at such time as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement) by those Former SpinCo Employees and their dependents who immediately prior to the Distribution Time were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under, the Moon Group Retiree Health Plan. The Clover Group Retiree Health Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees and their dependents on or following the Effective Time, regardless of when the injury or medical condition giving rise to the claim occurred. The Moon Group Retiree Health Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees and their dependents before the Effective Time.
 
24

(d)          Dependent Care and Health Flexible Spending Accounts. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.08(b), to the extent that SpinCo Employees participate in a dependent care or health flexible spending account under the Moon Group Health Plan (the “Moon FSA/DCA”) during the Closing Plan Year, Clover shall establish (or cause its Affiliate, if applicable, to establish) one or more comparable plans (the “Clover FSA/DCA”) that will recognize the elections that such SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees had in effect for purposes of the Closing Plan Year under the Moon FSA/DCA. The Clover FSA/DCA shall (i) assume the Assets and Liabilities of the Moon FSA/DCA with respect to SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees as of the Effective Time and (ii) provide the same level of dependent care and flexible spending account benefits as those provided under the Moon FSA/DCA at least through the latest date on which participants are entitled to submit for reimbursements with respect to contribution elections made during the Closing Plan Year. After the Effective Time, the Clover FSA/DCA will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed reimbursable dependent care and flexible spending account claims incurred by SpinCo Employees, regardless of when the claims were incurred.
 
(e)          Continuation Coverage. As of and following the Effective Time, the Clover Group Health Plan shall be solely responsible for providing and meeting the continuation coverage requirements imposed by Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for all SpinCo Employees and all Former SpinCo Employees, as well as their “qualified beneficiaries” (as defined under COBRA) (such SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees, and their qualified beneficiaries together, the “COBRA Participants”), regardless of whether the “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA) arose before, on, or after the Effective Time. The Clover Group Health Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims by COBRA Participants in respect of services that are performed or goods that are provided on or following the Effective Time, regardless of when the injury or medical condition giving rise to the claim occurred. The Moon Group Health Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities associated with claims by COBRA Participants in respect of services that are performed or goods that are provided before the Effective Time.
 
25

(f)           6055/6056 Reporting. Clover shall be solely responsible for ensuring that SpinCo complies with the reporting obligations under Section 6056 of the Code (Reporting of Offers of Coverage) with respect to SpinCo Employees for the Closing Plan Year (including while SpinCo was owned by Moon) and periods after the Distribution Date, for which SpinCo has a reporting obligation, provided that Moon shall be responsible for complying with all reporting obligations with respect to the year prior to the Closing Plan Year. In this regard, SpinCo shall be responsible for distributing IRS Form 1095-C to applicable individuals and filing IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS, all according to the applicable rules and regulations governing such forms. Clover shall also be solely responsible for ensuring that SpinCo complies with the reporting obligations under Section 6055 of the Code (Reporting of Enrollment in Minimum Essential Coverage) with respect to all SpinCo Employees who are enrolled in a self-insured medical plan under the Moon Group Health Plan. SpinCo may meet this obligation either through IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C or IRS Forms 1094-B and 1095-B, all in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The reporting obligations under Section 6055 of the Code for SpinCo Employees who are enrolled in a fully insured medical plan under the Moon Group Health Plan shall be met by the applicable insurance carrier or HMO. Moon shall work with Clover to provide all necessary pre–Distribution Date information for SpinCo to meet its reporting obligation, which information shall be complete and accurate and provided to SpinCo no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date that such reporting obligation is due (disregarding any extensions to such reporting deadlines that may be granted by the IRS for the reporting year); provided, however, that to the extent reasonably necessary, such time frame shall be reduced to fifteen (15) days for any data related to the four (4) month period ending on the date on which such reporting obligation is due.
 
(g)          Credit for Benefits. Clover shall (i) waive for each SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee, and his or her dependents, each waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement, and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Clover or any of its Affiliates applicable to (or was previously satisfied by) such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee to the extent that such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement, or other restriction would not have been applicable to such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee under the terms of the applicable Moon Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) give full credit under the welfare plans of Clover and its Affiliates applicable to each SpinCo Employee and Former SpinCo Employee, and his or her dependents, for all out-of-pocket expenses, including co-payments and deductibles, satisfied prior to the Effective Time in the Closing Plan Year, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.
 
Section 3.09         Workers’ Compensation. Following the Distribution Date, SpinCo and its Affiliates will be solely responsible for all United States (including its territories) workers’ compensation claims of SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees with respect to Workers’ Compensation Events, regardless of when such Workers Compensation Events to which such claims relate occur, except to the extent that claims that relate to events occurring prior to the Distribution Date are covered under an applicable Moon’s workers’ compensation insurance policy.
 
26

Section 3.10         Vacation, Paid Time Off, and Sick Pay Liabilities. As of the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall provide each SpinCo Employee with the same vested and unvested balances of vacation, paid time off, and sick leave as credited to such SpinCo Employee on Moon’s or its Affiliate’s payroll system immediately prior to the Distribution Date. For the period from the Effective Time through the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time, and without limiting any other provisions in this Agreement or in any Employee Agreement, Clover shall accrue vacation and sick leave in respect of each SpinCo Employee according to Moon’s accrual schedule as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, or Clover’s accrual schedule as in effect for similarly situated Employees of the Clover Group, whichever is more favorable to the SpinCo Employee.
 
Section 3.11         Severance.
 
(a)          Assumption of Outstanding Severance Liabilities. Effective as of the Distribution Time, SpinCo shall assume all severance Liabilities under each Moon Benefit Plan with respect to any Former SpinCo Employee.
 
(b)          Establishment of SpinCo Major Restructuring Severance Plan. Prior to the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall have established and adopted a severance plan (the “SpinCo Severance Plan”) that will be identical in all respects to the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan (save for clerical changes to reflect SpinCo as the plan sponsor) and that will provide severance benefits in accordance with this Section 3.11(a) to each SpinCo Employee who (i) was eligible to be a participant in the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan as of the day prior to the Distribution Date or (ii) is hired or promoted by SpinCo or an Affiliate on or following the Distribution Date into a position and would have been eligible to participate in the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan had such person been employed in such position on the day prior to the Distribution Date. Such severance benefits shall be provided upon any Severance-Eligible Termination during the Designated Survival Period, and the amount, composition, and terms and conditions of such benefits shall be as set forth in the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan (and as made a part of the SpinCo Severance Plan). The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for purposes of the SpinCo Severance Plan, the Distribution and Merger constitute a “Major Restructuring,” as such term is used in the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan (and as made a part of the SpinCo Severance Plan) with respect to the SpinCo Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in connection with such termination, the Clover Group severance arrangement, plan, policy, or guideline that is applicable to similarly situated Employees of the Clover Group would provide a greater severance benefit to such terminated SpinCo Employee, such Clover arrangement shall apply in lieu of the SpinCo Severance Plan. As of the Distribution Date, (i) the SpinCo Employees will no longer participate in the Moon Major Restructuring Severance Plan, and (ii) no member of the Moon Group shall have any further Liability for, and SpinCo shall indemnify each member of the Moon Group, and the officers, directors, and employees of each member of the Moon Group, and hold them harmless with respect to any and all Liabilities and obligations whatsoever with respect to, claims made by or with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees in connection with the SpinCo Severance Plan, including such Liabilities relating to actions or omissions of or by any member of the SpinCo Group or any officer, director, employee, or agent thereof prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date. During the Designated Survival Period, Clover shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate (including any SpinCo Entity) to, terminate or amend the SpinCo Severance Plan in a manner that is adverse in any respect to any SpinCo Employee.
 
27

(c)          Severance Arrangements, Plans, Policies and Guidelines. Without limiting clause (iii) of Section 3.01(e) or Section 3.11(a) above, Clover shall, or shall cause SpinCo or an Affiliate to, provide severance benefits in accordance with this Section 3.11(c) to each SpinCo Employee whose employment with Clover and its Affiliates (including any SpinCo Entity) terminates during the Designated Survival Period in a manner that would constitute a Severance-Eligible Termination, and who is not actually entitled to severance benefits under the SpinCo Severance Plan as a result of such employment termination. The amount, composition, and terms and conditions of such severance benefits shall be no less favorable to such SpinCo Employee than those provided under either (x) the Ordinary Severance Guidelines of Moon as described on Schedule 3.11(c), or (y) the applicable Clover Group severance arrangement, plan, policy, or guideline applicable to similarly situated Employees of the Clover Group, whichever arrangement provides a greater benefit.
 
Section 3.12         Preservation of Right to Amend or Terminate Plans. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, or the Merger Agreement, no provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Moon, SpinCo, or Clover, or any Affiliate thereof, to amend any Plan or terminate its participation therein that Moon, SpinCo, or Clover, or any Affiliate thereof, would otherwise have under the terms of such Plan or otherwise, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Employee or former Employee, or dependent or beneficiary of such Employee or former Employee, or any Plan Payee, under a Plan that such person would not otherwise have under the terms of the Plan itself.
 
Section 3.13         No Right to Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of SpinCo or Clover, or any of its Affiliates, to terminate any employee or individual service provider for any reason.
 
ARTICLE IV

(a)          Agreement to Cooperate. Moon and Clover shall take any and all reasonable actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to further the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, including, to the extent practicable, providing written notice or similar communications to each Employee who holds one or more awards granted under any Moon Stock Plan or is notionally invested in Moon Common Stock through a Moon Deferred Compensation Plan informing such Employee of (i) the actions contemplated by this ARTICLE IV with respect to such awards and (ii) whether (and during what time period) any “blackout” period shall be imposed upon holders of awards granted under any Moon Stock Plan or participants who are notionally invested in Moon Common Stock through a Moon Deferred Compensation Plan during which time awards or investment elections may not be exercised or settled, as the case may be.

(c)          Compliance with Laws. No award described in this ARTICLE IV, whether outstanding or to be issued, adjusted, substituted, or canceled by reason of or in connection with the Distribution, shall be adjusted, settled, canceled, or exercisable until, in the judgment of the administrator of the applicable plan or program such action is consistent with all applicable Laws, including federal securities Laws.

Section 4.02          Moon Stock Options.
 
(a)          Vested Moon Stock Options. Each Moon Stock Option that is vested by its terms immediately prior to the Distribution Time (each, a “Vested Moon Stock Option”), regardless of who holds such Vested Moon Stock Option, shall remain an option to purchase shares of Moon Common Stock issued under the applicable Moon Stock Plan (each such award, an “Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Option”). Each Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Vested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, (x) the number of shares of Moon Common Stock subject to each such Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Option shall equal (A) the number of shares of Moon Common Stock subject to the corresponding Vested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time divided by (B) the Moon Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (y) the per-share exercise price of each such Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Option shall equal (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Vested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time multiplied by (B) the Moon Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
 
29

(b)          Unvested Moon Stock Options.
 
(i)          Each Moon Stock Option that is unvested by its terms immediately prior to the Distribution Time (an “Unvested Moon Stock Option”) held by a Moon Group Employee, Former Moon Group Employee, or Former SpinCo Employee, or by a current or former member of the board of directors of Moon, shall remain an option to purchase shares of Moon Common Stock issued under the applicable Moon Stock Plan (each such award, an “Adjusted Unvested Moon Stock Option”). Each Adjusted Unvested Moon Stock Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, (x) the number of shares of Moon Common Stock subject to each such Adjusted Unvested Moon Stock Option shall equal (A) the number of shares of Moon Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time divided by (B) the Moon Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (y) the per-share exercise price of each such Adjusted Unvested Moon Stock Option shall equal (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time multiplied by (B) the Moon Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
 
(ii)          Each Unvested Moon Stock Option held by a SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be converted as of the Effective Time into an option to purchase shares of Clover Common Stock (each such award, an “Clover Stock Option”) pursuant to the terms of the Clover Stock Plan, subject to terms and conditions from and after the Effective Time that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, (x) the number of shares of Clover Common Stock subject to such Clover Stock Option shall equal (A) the number of shares of Moon Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time divided by (B) the Clover Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share, (y) the per-share exercise price of such Clover Stock Option shall equal the product of (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Unvested Moon Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution Time multiplied by (B) the Clover Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and (z) with respect to each such Clover Stock Option, “change in control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Clover Stock Plan (i.e., a “change in control” of Clover rather than Moon).
 
Section 4.03         Restricted Stock Units.
 
(a)          Moon Group Employee Awards. Moon RSUs held by a Moon Group Employee, Former Moon Group Employee, or Former SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be adjusted by dividing the number of Moon RSUs subject to each grant by the Moon Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of Moon RSUs shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions (including vesting terms) to which the Moon RSUs are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Effective Time.
 
30

(b)          SpinCo Employee Awards. Moon RSUs held by a SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be replaced with an award of a number of Clover restricted stock units (the “Clover RSUs”) determined by dividing the number of Moon RSUs subject to each award by the Clover Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of Clover RSUs shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Clover RSUs shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as in effect for the corresponding Moon RSUs immediately prior to the Distribution Time; provided, however, with respect to each such Clover RSU, “change in control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Clover Stock Plan (i.e., a “change in control” of Clover rather than Moon).
 
Section 4.04          Performance Stock Units.
 
(a)          Adjustment of Moon PSUs. The number of shares of Moon Common Stock underlying each Moon PSU held by a Moon Group Employee or Former Moon Group Employee, or by a SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee, in either case immediately prior to the Distribution Time, shall be adjusted by dividing such number of shares by the Moon Ratio, with the result rounded up to the extent that it includes a fractional share; the number of such adjusted Moon PSUs held by a SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee shall then be then prorated based on the number of days elapsed during the applicable performance period through the Distribution Date, and if the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of shares underlying any Moon PSU shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions to which the Moon PSUs are subject shall otherwise be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Distribution Time; provided, however, that the calculations of “Earnings Per Share,” “Total Shareholder Return,” and “Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital” will be adjusted to appropriately reflect the Reorganization, Distribution, and Merger in a manner determined by the Committee (as such term is defined in the applicable Moon Stock Plan).
 
(b)          Grant of Clover RSUs to Replace Forfeited Moon PSUs Held by SpinCo Employees. At, or as soon as practicable following, the Effective Time, each SpinCo Employee who then holds an award of Moon PSUs shall be granted an award of a number of Clover RSUs determined by dividing (x) by (y), where (x) equals the average number of shares of Moon Common Stock earned by such SpinCo Employee with respect to the Moon PSUs earned by such SpinCo Employee for each of the three years ending prior to the Closing Plan Year, measured as of the date of settlement of such awards and (y) equals the Clover Ratio, with the result rounded up to the extent that it includes a fractional share; the number of such Clover RSUs held by such SpinCo Employee shall then be then prorated based on the number of days remaining in the applicable performance period following the Distribution Date, and if the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of shares underlying such award of Clover RSUs shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The award of Clover RSUs shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect for the corresponding award of Moon PSUs immediately prior to the Distribution Time; provided, however, that each Clover RSU shall time vest on the last day of the applicable performance period for the corresponding Moon PSU, subject to the SpinCo Employee’s continued employment with the Clover Group on such date.

Section 4.06          Notional Shares.
 
(a)          Treatment of Moon Notional Shares Held by Moon Group Employees and Former Moon Group Employees. Moon Notional Shares held by a Moon Group Employee or a Former Moon Group Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be adjusted by dividing by the Moon Ratio the number of Moon Notional Shares held by such individual. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of adjusted Moon Notional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions (including vesting terms) to which the Moon Notional Shares are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Distribution Time.
 
(b)          Treatment of Moon Notional Shares Held by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees. Moon Notional Shares held by any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Time shall be replaced with a number of Clover notional shares (the “Clover Notional Shares”) determined by dividing by the Clover Ratio the number of Moon Notional Shares held by such individual. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of Clover Notional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Clover Notional Shares shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as in effect for the corresponding Moon Notional Shares immediately prior to the Distribution Time.

Settlement of Adjusted Vested Moon Stock Options exercised by a SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee shall be effected as follows:
 
(i)          In the case of a broker-assisted cashless exercise, the award holder will instruct the award administrator, who will sell the shares obtained through the exercise and who will wire the exercise price directly to Moon, wire the applicable tax withholding to Clover, and wire the remaining proceeds to the brokerage account of such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee.
 
(ii)         In the case of an exercise to hold shares, the award holder will instruct the award administrator and remit the exercise price to the award administrator, who will wire the exercise price directly to Moon, wire the applicable tax withholding to Clover, and credit the remaining shares to the brokerage account of such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee.
 
(b)          Clover Stock Option Liabilities. Clover shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with Clover Stock Options exercised by a SpinCo Employee, including any option exercise, share delivery, registration, or other obligations related to the exercise of such options.

Clover shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such registration statement to be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses required thereby to be maintained) as long as any Clover RSUs and Clover Stock Options remain outstanding.
 
33

Section 4.09         Tax Reporting and Withholding for Equity-Based Awards. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Moon (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, fringe benefit, social, payment-on-account, and other Tax reporting related to income of or otherwise owed by Moon Group Employees, Former Moon Group Employees, or Former SpinCo Employees from equity-based awards, and Clover (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, fringe benefit, social, payment-on-account, and other Tax reporting related to or otherwise owed on income of SpinCo Employees from equity-based awards.

Section 2.15        Obligation to Complete.
 
(a)        If, with respect to any Moon Leased Property, SpinCo Leased Property, Moon Sublease Property, SpinCo Sublease Property, Moon Shared Service Property, SpinCo Shared Service Property, or Split Lease Property, at any time the relevant Lease Consent is lawfully, formally and unconditionally refused in writing, Moon, Clover and SpinCo shall commence good faith negotiations and use reasonable best efforts to determine how to allocate the applicable Property, based on the relative importance of the applicable Property to the operations of each party, the size of the applicable Property, the number of employees of each party at the applicable Property, the value of assets associated with each business, the cost to relocate, and the potential risk and liability to each party in the event any enforcement action is brought by the applicable Landlord. Such reasonable best efforts shall include consideration of alternate structures to accommodate the needs of each party and the allocation of the costs thereof, including entering into amendments of the size, term or other terms of the Relevant Lease, restructuring a proposed lease assignment to be a sublease and relocating one party.  If the parties are unable to agree upon an allocation of the Property within fifteen (15) days after commencement of negotiations between the parties as described above, then either party may, by delivering written notice to the other, require that the matter be referred to the Chief Financial Officers of each party.  In such event, the Chief Financial Officers shall use reasonable best efforts to determine the allocation of the Property, including having a meeting or telephone conference within ten (10) days thereafter.  If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of an applicable Property within fifteen (15) days after the matter is referred to the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as described above, the disposition of the applicable Property and the risks associated therewith shall be allocated between the parties as set forth in Section 2.15(b) and (c).
 
(b)         If, with respect to any Moon Leased Property, SpinCo Leased Property or Split Lease Property, the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 2.15(a), the party named as tenant under the Relevant Lease or Pre-Split Lease, as applicable, may by written notice to the other party elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for consent to sublease all of the relevant Property to the other party for the remainder of the Relevant Lease term less one (1) day at a rent equal to the rent from time to time under the Relevant Lease or Pre-Split Lease, as applicable, but otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relevant Lease or Pre-Split Lease, as applicable. If such party makes such an election, until such time as the relevant Lease Consent is obtained and a sublease is completed, the provisions of Section 2.13 and Section 2.14, as applicable, will apply and, on the grant of the Lease Consent required to sublease the Property in question, the named tenant shall sublease or cause its applicable Subsidiary to sublease to the other party or its Subsidiary the relevant Property in accordance with Section 2.5 or Section 2.6, as applicable.
 
(c)         If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 2.15(a) and, as to any Moon Leased Property, SpinCo Leased Property, Moon Subleased Property, SpinCo Subleased Property or Split Lease Property, and neither party makes an election pursuant to Section 2.15(b) or if the Landlord does not grant the relevant Lease Consent referenced in Section 2.15(b), then the entity named on the Relevant Lease or the Pre-Split Lease, as applicable, may elect by written notice to the other party to require the other party to vacate the relevant Property by a date certain, which date shall allow a reasonable opportunity to make the appropriate practical arrangements to vacate the Property (considering the impact to both Moon and SpinCo), as may be specified in the notice (the “Notice Date”), in which case the recipient of such notice shall vacate the relevant Property on the Notice Date.

(b)         To the extent that the Owned and Leased Properties Schedule and the Colocation Sites Schedule require amendments made in accordance with the Allocation Principle in all material respects following the Distribution Date, Moon shall provide written notice to SpinCo prior to amending the Owned and Leased Properties Schedule or the Colocation Sites Schedule.  If SpinCo disputes in good faith the application of the Allocation Principle with respect to any such amendment, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII (Dispute Resolution) of the Separation Agreement.

TRANSFERABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT
 
Section 8.01.        Assignment.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, including the licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without prior written consent (a) in connection with (i) one or more merger transactions in which such assigning Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (ii) one or more sales of such Party’s businesses or lines of business, or of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (b) to such Party’s Affiliates. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  No assignment permitted by this Section 8.01 shall release the assigning Party from liability for full performance of its obligations under this Agreement prior to such assignment date, but shall release such Party from liability arising after such date.
 
Section 8.02.         Divested Businesses.  In the event a Party divests a business by (a) spinning off a member of its Group by its sale or other disposition to a third party or (b) reducing ownership or control in a member of its Group so that it no longer qualifiers as a member of its Group under this Agreement  (each such divested entity, a “Divested Entity”), the Divested Entity shall retain those licenses granted to it under this Agreement; provided that the license shall be limited to the business of the Divested Entity as of the date of divestment and the natural or reasonable extensions and evolutions thereof.  The retention of any license rights herein is not subject to the consent of the other Party, but is subject to the Divested Entity’s delivery to the non-retaining Party, within 90 days of the effective date of such divestment, of a duly authorized, written undertaking, agreeing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.03.         Third Party Products or Services.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any assignment of a license hereunder or the licenses retained by a Divested Entity (i) grant a license to products or services of a third party acquirer existing on or before the date of the divestment or (ii) cause any third party acquirer to license its previously owned Intellectual Property Rights to the non-assigning Party.
 
Section 8.04.          Prohibited Assignments Null and Void.  Any purported assignment in violation of this ARTICLE VIII shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.

Section 2.05.          Moon plc Name.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, solely in the event that the Moon Name Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has not occurred as of the Distribution Time, notwithstanding Section 2.01(d), Licensor (on behalf of itself and the other members of the SpinCo Group) hereby grants to Licensee a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty free, non-sublicensable (except as permitted by Section 2.02), non-assignable and non-transferable (except as permitted by Article IX) and irrevocable license to use the Current Moon Name solely (i) as the legal entity name of Moon; and (ii) to the minimum extent required by applicable Laws for Licensee to operate its business; in each case, until such time as Licensee changes the Current Moon Name to a Permitted Moon Name (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and for ninety (90) days thereafter (subject to the second proviso of Section 2.01).  The foregoing license shall be subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement (except the last sentence of Section 8.02), and the Current Moon Name shall be deemed a Licensed Trademark for all purposes herein (other than Section 2.01(d)).  For clarity, for purposes of this Section 2.05, use “to the minimum extent required by applicable Laws” means use to the extent necessary to operate its business in compliance with applicable Laws, and, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, in non-stylized plain text, in the least prominent size and location, and the lowest quantity of uses required to comply with applicable Law.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and reasonably practicable, Licensee shall use together with the Current Moon Name (i) a dba name that includes a Permitted Moon Name (once the Permitted Moon Name has been finally selected and approved by Moon) and (ii) the unique numerical identifier associated with the Current Moon Name as registered with the applicable Governmental Authority in the Republic of Ireland, in each case, to indicate the use of the Current Moon Name as a corporate name.  For further clarity, the license in this Section 2.05 permits use by Licensee only as a corporate name and not any other form of Trademark, without limiting any of Licensee’s other rights and licenses under this Agreement.  If the Moon Name Change has taken effect as of the Distribution Time, the license in this Section 2.05 shall be null and void ab initio, and the Current Moon Name shall be deemed a Licensed Trademark for all purposes hereunder.

ARTICLE III
CERTAIN COVENANTS
 
Section 3.01.        Restrictions on Use.  Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Licensee shall:

(b)          not adopt, use, register or file applications to register, acquire or otherwise obtain, in any jurisdiction, any Trademark or Domain Name that consists of, incorporates or is confusingly similar to any Licensed Trademark;
 
(c)           use the Licensed Trademarks in accordance with all applicable Laws in effect at the time of such use; and
 
(d)           use all notices and legends reasonably requested by Licensor, including those required by applicable Law;

ARTICLE IV
OWNERSHIP

Section 8.01.        Term.  The term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Distribution Date and shall expire on the later date of (i) the expiration of last of the periods set forth above in Section 2.01 and (ii) the expiration of the license granted in Section 2.05 (the “Term”).
 
Section 8.02.        No Termination.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the licenses granted hereunder are irrevocable during the Term, and this Agreement may not be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term in Section 8.01, except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parties.  Subject to the next sentence, in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of the non-breaching Party shall be to recover monetary damages and/or to obtain injunctive or equitable relief in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 10.09.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may terminate this Agreement (except the license in Section 2.05, which shall not be subject to termination for any reason) with immediate effect if a court of competent jurisdiction rules by non-appealable final order that Licensee has committed an intentional, material breach of this Agreement in connection with uses of the Licensed Trademarks that are not consistent with the operation of the Moon Business prior to the Distribution Date, such breach materially harms the Licensed Trademarks and such breach cannot be cured.
 
Section 8.03.         Non-Trademark Uses.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting the rights otherwise granted in Article II, nothing herein shall impair the rights of the Moon Group to: (i) use and make factual references to any Licensed Trademarks or any corporate, fictitious or other names of any member of the Moon Group or SpinCo Group in a non-trademark manner, including any use in corporate or financial records, tax or regulatory filings and other similar materials or (ii) make any use of any Trademark that may be required under applicable Laws, or make “fair use” of any Trademark.
 
Section 8.04.        Effect of Expiration.  After the expiration of the Term, Licensee and the Moon Group shall no longer have the licenses granted hereunder to use the Licensed Trademarks.  Expiration of the Term shall be without prejudice to any rights of a Party accruing prior to such expiration.

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT
 
Section 9.01.          Assignment.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, including the licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without prior written consent (a) in connection with (i) one or more merger transactions in which such assigning Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (ii) one or more sales of such Party’s businesses or lines of business, or of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (b) to such Party’s Affiliates. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  No assignment permitted by this Section 9.01 shall release the assigning Party from liability for full performance of its obligations under this Agreement prior to such assignment date, but shall release such Party from liability arising after such date.
 
Section 9.02.          Divested Businesses.  In the event a Party divests a business by (a) spinning off a member of its Group by its sale or other disposition to a third party or (b) reducing ownership or control in a member of its Group so that it no longer qualifiers as a member of its Group under this Agreement (each such divested entity, a “Divested Entity”), the Divested Entity shall retain those licenses granted to it under this Agreement; provided that the license shall be limited to the business of the Divested Entity as of the date of divestment and the natural or reasonable extensions and evolutions thereof.  The retention of any license rights herein is not subject to the consent of the other Party, but is subject to the Divested Entity’s delivery to the non-retaining Party, within 90 days of the effective date of such divestment, of a duly authorized, written undertaking, agreeing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 9.03.        Third Party Products or Services. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any assignment of a license hereunder or the licenses retained by a Divested Entity grant a license to products or services of a third party acquirer existing on or before the date of the divestment.
 
Section 9.05.        Prohibited Assignments Null and Void.  Any purported assignment in violation of Article IX shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.

Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial Segment Finalize Merger to Form a Global Leader in Mission-Critical Flow Creation and Industrial Technologies


Gardner Denver combined with Ingersoll Rand Industrial to provide a stronger, broader portfolio of mission-critical industrial, energy, medical and specialty vehicle products and services.

Newly combined company now named “Ingersoll Rand Inc.”

Integration efforts on track to deliver $250 million in synergy efficiencies.

Ingersoll Rand will operate with a four-segment reporting structure, effective immediately.

Three existing members of the Ingersoll Rand Board of Directors join seven existing Gardner Denver directors to form the newly combined Ingersoll Rand Board of Directors.

DAVIDSON, N.C. – March 1, 2020 – Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. completed the merger with the Ingersoll Rand Industrial segment at the end of the day on Saturday, February 29, 2020. The newly combined company, named Ingersoll Rand Inc. (“Ingersoll Rand”), will begin trading Monday, March 2, on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “IR”.

Today’s milestone transforms our potential to generate extraordinary long-term value for our employees, customers, shareholders and communities,” said Vicente Reynal, CEO, Ingersoll Rand. “Fueled by our employees’ ownership mindset, we operate from a customer-centric culture, as we know they lean on us to help make life better. We are enthusiastic that now, as a stronger company, we can deliver more comprehensive solutions and services across the globe.”

The merger of Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial positions the new Ingersoll Rand as a global leader in mission-critical flow creation and industrial technologies. With more than 16,000 employees globally, the combined company produces mission-critical flow creation systems, including air compressors, pumps, blowers, the well-known Club Car brand of electric vehicles and systems for fluid management, loading and material handling.

Arnold brings leadership in critical areas such as entrepreneurship, employee engagement and ownership, technology and demand generation.

Arnold previously served as CEO of Data Intensity, COO at Avid, and CEO and President of Keane, Inc. Her knowledge and experience will be critical to Ingersoll Rand’s talent development initiatives, which are foundational to the company’s long-term strategy.

With broad operational and financial knowledge, Forsee brings substantial experience to all aspects of the company’s business. Forsee’s experience as chairman and CEO of Sprint Nextel Corporation will provide the company with insights on markets being driven by technological change. In addition, as the past President of the University of Missouri System, he will bring invaluable guidance to Ingersoll Rand as it develops and executes on its talent, financial and operational plans.

White’s 13 years as chairman and CEO of advanced-technology life sciences firm Applied Biosystems Inc. and 26 years in various leadership positions at Baxter International, Inc. provides Ingersoll Rand with an expert on innovation as a source of growth. His extensive management experience will provide the company substantial expertise across all aspects of operational, talent and financial affairs. White’s board membership and knowledge related to biotechnology and healthcare delivery systems will benefit the company generally, and specifically with respect to its medical business.
