In the event that any such transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated effective as of the Distribution Time (or such earlier time as any such Asset may have been acquired or Liability assumed), the Party retaining such Asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and retain such Liability for the account of the Party by whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be transferred, or by whom such Liability is to be assumed, as the case may be, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Asset or Liability been transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby. Without limiting any other duty of a Party holding any Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto, such Party shall take all reasonable actions that it deems necessary to preserve the value of that Asset. As and when any such Asset becomes transferable or such Liability can be assumed, such transfer or assumption shall be effected forthwith, without the payment of any further consideration therefor. Subject to the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Distribution Time (or such earlier time as any such Asset may have been acquired or Liability assumed), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

26

intercompany arrangements and course of dealings, whether or not in writing and whether or not binding or in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Time, shall terminate immediately prior to the Distribution Time unless the Parties thereto otherwise agree in writing after the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective subsidiaries that the letter agreement dated January 30, 1998 from Babcock & Wilcox Government and Nuclear Operations, Inc. (formerly known as, “BWX Technologies, Inc.”) to Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (formerly known as, “The Babcock & Wilcox Company”) (including the document attached thereto denoted “Letter Agreement—Environmental Provisions” with a footer stating “TC87007.doc”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 Letter Agreement — Environmental Conditions dated as of November 19, 1999 by and between Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (formerly known as, “The Babcock & Wilcox Company”) and Babcock & Wilcox Government and Nuclear Operations, Inc. (formerly known as, “BWX Technologies, Inc.”) shall terminate immediately prior to the Distribution Time.

Section 3.3 Indemnification by SpinCo . Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, SpinCo shall, and in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall in addition cause the Appropriate Member of the SpinCo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless RemainCo, each member of the RemainCo Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders (other than stockholders of any publicly traded member of the RemainCo Group), directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the RemainCo Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “RemainCo Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses of the RemainCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a) the failure of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(b) any SpinCo Liability (including any SpinCo Specified Liability);

(c) any breach by SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject (in the case of each of the Ancillary Agreements) to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein; and

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all Information contained in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement (other than Information regarding RemainCo provided by RemainCo in writing to SpinCo expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement);

in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless

27

of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of clause (d) of the first sentence of this Section 3.3 and clause (d) of the first sentence of Section 3.4, the only information provided by RemainCo in writing to SpinCo expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement is the information appearing under the caption “The Spin-Off—Reasons for the Spin-Off” in the Information Statement included in the Registration Statement, as amended through the date of this Agreement. As used in this Section 3.3, “Appropriate Member of the SpinCo Group” means the member or members of the SpinCo Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided. In support of its indemnification obligations related to third-party casualty claims, SpinCo shall maintain throughout the existence of its indemnity obligations hereunder commercial general liability insurance in a commercially reasonable amount with responsible and reputable insurers and shall cause the RemainCo Indemnities to be named thereon as additional insureds to the extent of the insured contractual indemnity obligations expressly assumed or undertaken by SpinCo under this Agreement.

Section 3.4 Indemnification by RemainCo . Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, RemainCo shall, and in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall in addition cause the Appropriate Member of the RemainCo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless SpinCo, each member of the SpinCo Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders (other than stockholders of any publicly traded member of the SpinCo Group), directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the SpinCo Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a) the failure of RemainCo or any other member of the RemainCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any RemainCo Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(b) any RemainCo Liability (including any RemainCo Specified Liability);

(c) any breach by RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject (in the case of each of the Ancillary Agreements) to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein;

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, solely with respect to information regarding RemainCo provided by RemainCo in writing to SpinCo expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement; and

28

(e) Third Party Claims relating to, arising out of or resulting from the use of the name “Babcock,” “Wilcox,” “Babcock and Wilcox,” “Babcock & Wilcox,” “B&W,” “PGG” or any similar name by any member of the RemainCo Group in any corporate name or in any of their respective businesses or operations, whether prior to, on or after the Distribution Date.

in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. As used in this Section 3.4, “Appropriate Member of the RemainCo Group” means the member or members of the RemainCo Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided. In support of its indemnification obligations related to third-party casualty claims, RemainCo shall maintain throughout the existence of its indemnity obligations hereunder commercial general liability insurance in a commercially reasonable amount with responsible and reputable insurers and shall cause the SpinCo Indemnities to be named thereon as additional insureds to the extent of the insured contractual indemnity obligations expressly assumed or undertaken by RemainCo under this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds; Duty of Cooperation .

(a) The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article III (an “Indemnifiable Loss”) will be net of Insurance Proceeds and Third Party Indemnity Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Loss (and the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnitee to collect any such Insurance Proceeds and Third Party Indemnity Proceeds shall increase the amount of such Loss). Accordingly, the amount which a Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Indemnity Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss. The Indemnitee shall use, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts at the cost of the Indemnifying Party, to recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Indemnity Proceeds to which the Indemnitee is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss, including at the Indemnifying Party’s option and expense, alternative dispute resolution or litigation through to a final and non-appealable adjudication, except that, with respect to any of the RemainCo Specified Liabilities and SpinCo Specified Liabilities, the Indemnitee shall be required to undertake, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to undertake, such commercially reasonable efforts only to the extent (i) the Indemnifying Party has, in writing, expressly requested the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee to do so (which writing shall contain detailed written instructions setting forth the specific actions to be taken by the Indemnitee and such Affiliate), (ii) the Indemnifying Party promptly reimburses to the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts, (iii) the Indemnifying Party, at the request of the Indemnitee or such Affiliate

29

of the Indemnitee, prepares all documentation (including (x) pleadings and other filings in connection with any legal proceedings and (y) notices to insurers or indemnitors) required in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts and (iv) such efforts are commercially reasonable. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party, all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the Indemnifying Party with respect to the recovery of such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Indemnity Proceeds; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.5 hereof, nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which (i) in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment could reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a Third Party even if SpinCo and RemainCo cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a Third Party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party, to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction. Unless the Indemnifying Party has made payment in full of any Indemnifiable Loss, such Indemnifying Party shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Indemnity Proceeds to which it or such Affiliate is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss.

(b) An insurer or other Third Party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claims shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto.

Section 3.6 Tax Benefits . The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article III will be net of Taxes. Accordingly, (i) if the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement is a RemainCo Indemnitee and if any such Loss, after taking into account the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III, results in (a) increased deductions, losses, or credits, or (b) decreases in income, gains or recapture of Tax credits (“Tax Benefits”) to the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or to a member of the RemainCo Group), that would not, but for the Loss, after taking into account the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III, be allowable, then, RemainCo shall pay SpinCo the amount by which such Tax Benefit actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or a member of the RemainCo Group) would have been required to pay or bear (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund to which the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or a member of the RemainCo Group) would have been entitled) but for such indemnification and reimbursement (and the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III), and (ii) if the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement is a SpinCo Indemnitee and if any such Loss, after taking into account the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III, results in Tax Benefits to the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or to a member of the SpinCo Group), that would not, but for the Loss, after taking into account the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III, be allowable, then, SpinCo shall pay RemainCo the amount by which such Tax Benefit actually reduces, in cash, the amount of Tax that the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or a member of the SpinCo Group) would have been required

30

to pay or bear (or increases, in cash, the amount of a Refund to which the Person receiving the indemnification or reimbursement (or a member of the SpinCo Group) would have been entitled) but for such indemnification and reimbursement (and the related indemnification and reimbursement under this Article III). The Party obligated under the prior sentence is to make a payment in respect of such Tax Benefit no later than five Business Days after such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized. Except with respect to any indemnity payment for Losses relating to a breach of the Tax Sharing Agreement, which indemnity payments shall be treated in accordance with Section 4 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Law, the Parties will treat any indemnity payment as a capital contribution made by RemainCo to SpinCo or as a distribution made by SpinCo to RemainCo, as the case may be, on the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.7 Procedures for Defense and Indemnification of Third Party Claims .

(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group of any claims or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (each such Person being a “Third Party” and each such claim or Action being a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and set forth the Applicable Response Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 3.7(a) shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not, in its Good Faith Judgment, dispute its potential liability to the Indemnitee with respect to a Third Party Claim relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability, the Indemnifying Party shall defend (and may settle or compromise in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7) such Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not, in its Good Faith Judgment, dispute its potential liability to the Indemnitee with respect to a Third Party Claim not relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability, the Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and to settle or compromise in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7) such Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. Within the Applicable Response Period, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee as to whether the Indemnifying Party will defend such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such notice of election within the Applicable Response Period shall be deemed a determination not to defend such Third Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such non-defending Person, except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee (i) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party

31

Claim in accordance with Section 3.7(a)) or (ii) to the extent that such engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as reasonably determined in the Good Faith Judgment of the Indemnitee. The Party that has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the other Party reasonably informed and shall consult with such other Party except to the extent, in the Good Faith Judgment of the Party defending such Third Party Claim, (i) providing such information or making such consultation could reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any Privilege or adversely affect the outcome of the Third Party Claim or (ii) such Party is not permitted to provide such information or make such consultation because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a Third Party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7: (i) RemainCo will have the right to defend or assume the defense of, and/or settle or compromise (or seek to settle or compromise or to reject any proposed settlement or compromise), any Future SpinCo Disclosure Claim asserted in whole or in part against any member of the RemainCo Group or any of their respective current or former officers, directors, employees or Affiliates and any claim asserted by a Third Party which may give rise to any Liability described in clauses (viii), (ix) or (xi) of the definition of SpinCo Liabilities herein (or in clauses (iv), (v) or (vii) of the definition of RemainCo Liabilities herein); and (ii) RemainCo may settle or compromise such Action or claim without the consent of SpinCo, if such settlement or compromise provides for a release of the applicable member of the SpinCo Group to at least the same extent as RemainCo and does not involve any monetary damages (including monetary fines or penalties) to be imposed on SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group or injunctive relief to be imposed on SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group.

(d) A Party’s defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or (c) includes the right (after consultation with the other Party following at least ten Business Days’ written notice thereof) to compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment or determination of liability concerning such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3.7(c), the Party defending the Third Party Claim shall not compromise, settle or consent to the entry of judgment or determination of liability concerning any Third Party Claim without prior written approval by the other Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the terms or conditions of such compromise, settlement or consent would, (i) impose injunctive or other non-monetary relief on the other Party or any of its Affiliates or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the other Party (as reflected in a written objection delivered by the other Party to the defending Party within the period of ten Business Days following receipt of the written notice described above in this Section 3.7(d)), have a material adverse financial impact or a material adverse effect upon the ongoing operations of such other Party (taken together with its Subsidiaries).

(e) If the Party having the obligation to defend a particular Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 3.7(b) fails to, or if the Party having the right to elect to defend a particular Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 3.7(b) elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to defend a particular Third Party Claim, the other Party may defend such Third Party Claim without any prejudice to its rights to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article III.

32

In such case, such other Party shall have the right to compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim as provided in Section 3.7(d).

(f) The Indemnifying Party shall bear all costs and expenses of defending any Third Party Claim, including the reasonable costs and expenses of an Indemnitee in complying with requests for cooperation pursuant to Section 3.7(g); provided, however, that (A) if both Parties may be Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim but only one Party is defending such Third Party Claim, the non-defending Party shall reimburse the defending Party promptly upon demand by the defending Party for the non-defending Party’s proportionate share, allocated based on each Party’s proportionate responsibility for the Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Agreement, of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defending Party’s defense of such Third Party Claim, and (B) if both Parties may be Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim and both Parties are defending such Third Party Claim, the Parties shall effect such reimbursements necessary so that each Party bears its proportionate share, allocated based on each Party’s proportionate responsibility for the Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Agreement, of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(g) The non-defending or co-defending Party shall cooperate with the defending Party with respect to such defense, including by: (i) making available to the other Party and its counsel all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the other Party; (ii) reasonably refraining from taking any action to prejudice the position of the other Party with respect to such defense; and (iii) taking all actions in connection with such defense as reasonably requested by the other Party, including executing and submitting necessary and appropriate instruments in the name of the non-defending or co-defending Party, as reasonably directed by the defending party, in connection with proceedings before courts, agencies, arbitration tribunals, or other adjudicatory or mediatory bodies; provided, however, that with respect to the defense of a Third Party Claim relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability, the Indemnitee shall be required to undertake, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to undertake, such commercially reasonable efforts only to the extent (i) the Indemnifying Party has, in writing, expressly requested the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee to do so (which writing shall contain detailed written instructions setting forth the specific actions to be taken by the Indemnitee and such Affiliate), (ii) the Indemnifying Party promptly reimburses to the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts, (iii) the Indemnifying Party, at the request of the Indemnitee or such Affiliate of the Indemnitee, prepares all documentation (including (x) pleadings and other filings in connection with any legal proceedings and (y) notices to insurers or indemnitors) required in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts and (iv) such efforts are commercially reasonable; and further provided that, subject to Section 6.5 hereof, nothing in this Section 3.7(g) shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment (i) could reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a Third Party even if SpinCo and RemainCo cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a Third

33

Party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction. With respect to any Third Party Claim in which both Parties are, or reasonably may be expected to be, named as parties, or that otherwise implicates both Parties to a material degree, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to such Third Party Claim and maintain a joint defense in a manner that will preserve applicable Privileges.

(h) Upon final judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnitee, or to the Indemnitee in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, all amounts required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article III with respect to such claim as determined by such final judgment, determination, settlement or compromise.

Section 3.8 Additional Matters .

(a) Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by prompt written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail and set forth the Applicable Response Period. Such Indemnifying Party shall respond to such notice within the Applicable Response Period. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within the Applicable Response Period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within the Applicable Response Period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim not relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee in respect of any rights, defenses or claims of such Indemnitee against Third Parties relating to such Third Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party as may reasonably be required in connection with the prosecution of any subrogated right, defense or claim, and its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) In the event of an Action involving a Third Party Claim in which the Indemnitee is a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party as the named defendant in place of the Indemnitee, so that the Indemnitee does not remain a named defendant, if reasonably practicable.

(d) Except as expressly provided herein, the indemnity obligations under this Article III shall apply notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and shall apply without regard to whether the Loss for which indemnity is claimed hereunder is based on strict liability, absolute liability or any other theory of liability or arises as an obligation for contribution.

34

(e) THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE RELEASE FROM LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS MAY INCLUDE RELEASE FROM LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM, OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AND IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AN INDEMNITEE’S OWN NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT.

Section 3.9 Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Article III is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and RemainCo and each other member of the RemainCo Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. For purposes of this Section 3.9, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss relating to matters covered by Section 3.3(d) or 3.4(d) or otherwise relating to misstatements or omissions under securities or antifraud Laws, the relative fault of a member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and of a member of the RemainCo Group, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact (i) relates to a member of the SpinCo Group or a member of the RemainCo Group and (ii) relates to information that was supplied by a member of the SpinCo Group or a member of the RemainCo Group.

Section 3.10 Remedies Cumulative . The remedies provided in this Article III shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article V, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 3.11 Specific Performance . The Parties stipulate that any Party’s breach of the obligation set forth in Section 3.7(b) to defend a Third Party Claim relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability will cause irreparable injury to the Indemnitee, and that any damages available at law for such a breach would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the obligation set forth in Section 3.7(b) of this Agreement to defend a Third Party Claim relating to a RemainCo Specified Liability or a SpinCo Specified Liability shall be enforceable in appropriate circumstances in accordance with Article V of this Agreement by an order of specific performance, and appropriate preliminary or permanent injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith, in each case without the posting of any bond or other security. This stipulation shall not limit or impair a Party’s right to obtain specific performance and preliminary or permanent injunctive relief in other appropriate circumstances in accordance with Article V of this Agreement.

Section 3.12 Survival of Indemnities . The rights and obligations of each of RemainCo and SpinCo and their respective Indemnitees under this Article III shall survive the Distribution Date indefinitely, unless a specific survival or other applicable period is expressly set forth herein, and shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

35

Section 3.13 Limitation of Liability . EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP OR THE SPINCO GROUP OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP OR THE SPINCO GROUP FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE III OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE IV

THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Delivery to Distribution Agent . Subject to Section 4.3, on or prior to the Distribution Date RemainCo will authorize Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as distribution agent (the “Distribution Agent”), for the benefit of holders of record of RemainCo Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date (the “Record Holders”) to effect the book-entry transfer of all outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock and will order the Distribution Agent to effect the Distribution at the Distribution Time in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.

Section 4.2 Mechanics of the Distribution .

(a) On the Distribution Date, RemainCo will direct the Distribution Agent to distribute, effective as of the Distribution Time, to each Record Holder a number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock equal to the number of shares of RemainCo Common Stock held by such Record Holder multiplied by the Distribution Multiple, except that the Distribution Agent will not issue any fractional shares of SpinCo Common Stock and will distribute cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 4.2(b). All such shares of SpinCo Common Stock to be so distributed shall be distributed as uncertificated shares registered in book-entry form through the direct registration system. No certificates therefor shall be distributed. RemainCo shall cause the Distribution Agent to deliver an account statement to each holder of SpinCo Common Stock reflecting such holder’s ownership thereof. All of the shares of SpinCo Common Stock distributed in the Distribution will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) RemainCo will direct the Distribution Agent to determine, as soon as is practicable after the Distribution Date, the number of fractional shares, if any, of SpinCo Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder entitled to receive SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution and to promptly aggregate all the fractional shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby, in open market transactions or otherwise, at the then-prevailing trading prices, and to cause to be distributed to each Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, each Record Holder’s ratable share of the proceeds of the sale, after making appropriate deductions of the

36

amounts required to be withheld for federal income tax purposes and after deducting an amount equal to all brokerage charges, commissions and transfer taxes attributed to the sale.

(c) Any SpinCo Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to SpinCo Common Stock that remains unclaimed by any Record Holder on the first anniversary of the Distribution Date will be delivered to SpinCo. SpinCo will hold the SpinCo Common Stock or cash for the account of the Record Holder and any Record Holder will look only to SpinCo for the SpinCo Common Stock or cash, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws.

(d) SpinCo shall mail or cause to be mailed to the Record Holders, on or prior to the Distribution Date, the Information Statement.

Section 4.3 Conditions Precedent to Consummation of the Separation and the Distribution . None of the Separation (other than subsections (i) and (ii) of the definition of Separation), the Distribution nor the related transactions set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Ancillary Agreements will take place unless the following conditions have been satisfied or waived by RemainCo, in its sole and absolute discretion, at or before the Distribution Time:

(a) RemainCo will have received an opinion from Jones Day, dated the Distribution Date, in form and substance acceptable to RemainCo substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) certain transactions to be effected in connection with the Separation qualify as reorganizations or other tax-free transactions under Sections 332, 351, 355 and/or 368 of the Code, and (ii) the Distribution will qualify for tax-free treatment to RemainCo and to SpinCo as a transaction described in Section 355 of the Code;

(b) the Separation and the Distribution will not violate or result in a breach of any Law or any material agreement;

(c) the Registration Statement will have become effective, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect or, to the knowledge of either RemainCo or SpinCo, threatened by the SEC;

(d) the actions and filings necessary or appropriate under applicable federal or state securities Laws and state blue sky Laws in connection with the Distribution will have been taken;

(e) the NYSE will have approved SpinCo’s Common Stock for listing, subject to official notice of issuance;

(f) the Ancillary Agreements will have been executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto and no party to any of the Ancillary Agreements will be in material breach of any Ancillary Agreement;

(g) all Consents required to be received or made before the Distribution may take place will have been received or made and be in full force and effect, and this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will not have been terminated and will not violate, conflict with or result

37

in a breach (with or without the passage of time) of any Law or any material agreements of RemainCo;

(h)(1) RemainCo will have executed a credit facility on terms and conditions and with lenders acceptable to RemainCo, and (2) SpinCo will have executed a credit facility on terms and conditions and with lenders acceptable to SpinCo, and neither RemainCo nor SpinCo shall have received notice that any lender thereunder has determined not to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby;

(i) no RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business or SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business will remain outstanding; and

(j) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, or ruling issued by a Governmental Authority, and no statute (as interpreted through orders or rules of any Governmental Authority duly authorized to effectuate the statute), rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any Governmental Authority will be in effect preventing, or materially limiting the benefits of, the Separation or the Distribution.

Each of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.3 is for the benefit of RemainCo, and RemainCo may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to waive any condition, in whole or in part. Any determination made by RemainCo concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions in this Section 4.3 will be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The satisfaction of those conditions will not create any obligation on the part of RemainCo to SpinCo or any other Person to effect the Separation or the Distribution or in any way limit RemainCo’s right to terminate as set forth in Section 7.2 or alter the consequences of any termination from those specified in Section 7.2.

ARTICLE V

ARBITRATION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 5.1 General . Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the procedures for negotiation and binding arbitration set forth in this Article V shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) that arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, any breach or alleged breach hereof or thereof, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the date hereof), or the construction, interpretation, enforceability or validity hereof or thereof (a “Dispute”). Each Party agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group that the procedures set forth in this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any Dispute and irrevocably waives any right to commence any Action in or before any Governmental Authority, except (i) as expressly provided in Section 5.7(b), (ii) as provided for under the Arbitration Act, (iii) as required by applicable Law, and (iv) as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group irrevocably waives any right to any trial by jury and any right to any trial in a court with respect to any Dispute to which this Section 5.1 applies. As used in the following

38

provisions of this Article V, any reference to “party” or “parties” shall mean and refer to a party or parties involved in a Dispute.

Section 5.2 Negotiation .

(a) It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Dispute that may arise on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any party involved in a Dispute may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving representatives of the parties at a senior level of management of the parties (or if the parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel, or, if one does not exist, the President or Chief Executive Officer, of each party involved in the Dispute (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the parties may be established by the parties from time to time; provided, however, that the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within 20 days of the Escalation Notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3(a), during the period from the date hereof through the first anniversary of the Distribution Date, in the event the parties involved in a Dispute do not resolve the Dispute in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2(a) within 60 days after the delivery of the Escalation Notice with respect to such Dispute, the Dispute shall be referred to the Board of Directors of each of RemainCo and SpinCo, which shall each be requested to select a subcommittee thereof to meet to resolve the Dispute within 45 days of such referral, and no party involved in a Dispute may deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) until after such 45-day period has elapsed. Any resolution of a Dispute pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be memorialized in a writing signed by both parties.

(b) The parties may, by mutual consent, select a mediator to aid the parties in their discussions and negotiations. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the parties, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be admissible in any arbitration proceedings. Costs of any mediation shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the Dispute, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation is not a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration under Section 5.3.

Section 5.3 Demand for Arbitration .

(a) Any Dispute that has not been resolved after the delivery of the related Escalation Notice shall, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified by the provisions of this Article V. To initiate such an arbitration, a party involved in the related Dispute (regardless of whether such party delivered the Escalation Notice) shall, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, at any time after 30 days from the delivery of an Escalation Notice, deliver a notice demanding arbitration of such Dispute (an “Arbitration Demand Notice”). In the event that any party shall deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to another party, such other party may itself deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to such first party with respect to any related Dispute with respect to which the Applicable Deadline has

39

not passed without the requirement of delivering an Escalation Notice. No party may assert that the failure to resolve any matter during any discussions or negotiations, the course of conduct during the discussions or negotiations or the failure to agree on a mutually acceptable time, agenda, location or procedures for the meeting, in each case, as contemplated by Section 5.2, is a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration under this Section 5.3. In the event that any party delivers an Arbitration Demand Notice with respect to any Dispute that is the subject of any then pending arbitration proceeding or of a previously delivered Arbitration Demand Notice, all such Disputes shall be resolved in the arbitration proceeding for which an Arbitration Demand Notice was first delivered unless the arbitrators in their sole discretion determine that it is impracticable or otherwise inadvisable to do so.

(b) Except as may be expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any Arbitration Demand Notice with respect to a Dispute, other than a Dispute related to a Third Party Claim, may be given until one year after the date on which the party desiring to give such Arbitration Demand Notice first determined, or, in the exercise of reasonable prudence, should have determined, that the there was a Dispute (as applicable and as it may in a particular case be specifically extended by the parties in writing, the “Applicable Deadline”). In the case of a Dispute related to a Third Party Claim, the Applicable Deadline shall be one year after the date on which, as the case may be, (i) RemainCo receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion of the Third Party Claim against it or any of the RemainCo Indemnitees or (ii) SpinCo receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion of the Third Party Claim against it or any of the SpinCo Indemnitees. Any discussions, negotiations or mediations between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise will not toll the Applicable Deadline unless expressly agreed in writing by the Parties. Each of the Parties agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its Group that if an Arbitration Demand Notice with respect to a Dispute is not given prior to the expiration of the Applicable Deadline, as between or among the Parties and the members of their Groups, such Dispute will be barred, and any right to bring any Action with respect to, or otherwise to pursue, any such barred Dispute is hereby irrevocably waived. Subject to Section 5.9, upon delivery of an Arbitration Demand Notice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) prior to the Applicable Deadline, the Dispute shall be decided by arbitrators in accordance with the rules set forth in this Article V. This Section 5.3(b) shall not be deemed to extend any notice period set forth in Section 3.7.

Section 5.4 Arbitrators .

(a) The party delivering the Arbitration Demand Notice shall, within five days of the date of such notice, notify the AAA and the other parties in writing describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators. Each party shall, within 20 days of the date of the Arbitration Demand Notice, select one arbitrator. The parties shall mutually agree upon a third arbitrator. If the third arbitrator is not selected within 50 days of the date of the Arbitration Demand Notice, the two arbitrators already selected shall select the third arbitrator. In the event that any arbitrator is or becomes unable to serve, his or her replacement will be selected in the same manner described above. The vote of two of the three arbitrators shall be required for any decision under this Article V.

(b) The arbitrators will set a time for the hearing of the matter, which will commence no later than 180 days (or the soonest Business Day thereafter) after the constitution of the panel

40

of three arbitrators pursuant to Section 5.4(a), and which hearing will be no longer than 15 days (unless in the judgment of the arbitrators the matter is unusually complex and sophisticated and thereby requires a longer time, in which event such hearing shall be no longer than 20 days). The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to reach a final decision and render the same in writing to the parties not later than 60 days after the last hearing date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Failure of the arbitrators to do so, however, shall not be a basis for challenging the decision. An arbitrator dissenting from a decision or portion thereof may issue a dissent from the decision or portion thereof in writing, stating the reasons therefor.

(c) The place of any arbitration hereunder will be Charlotte, North Carolina, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

Section 5.5 Hearings . Within the time period specified in Section 5.4(b), the matter shall be presented to the arbitrators at a hearing by means of written submissions of memoranda and verified witness statements, filed simultaneously, and responses, if necessary in the judgment of the arbitrators or both the Parties. Live direct and cross-examination will be permitted upon request of any party. The arbitrators shall actively manage the arbitration with a view to achieving a just, speedy and cost-effective resolution of the Dispute. The arbitrators may, in their discretion, set time and other limits on the presentation of each party’s case, its memoranda or other submissions, and refuse to receive any proffered evidence, which the arbitrators, in their discretion, find to be cumulative, unnecessary, irrelevant or of low probative nature. The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be had and will be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. Arbitration awards will bear interest at an annual rate of the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, subject to any maximum amount permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that the provisions of this Agreement and the AAA Rules conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 5.6 Discovery and Certain Other Matters.

(a) Any party involved in a Dispute subject to this Article V may request limited document production from the other party or parties of specific and expressly relevant documents. Any such discovery shall be conducted expeditiously and shall not cause the hearing provided for in Section 5.5 to be postponed or adjourned except upon consent of all parties involved in the applicable Dispute or upon an extraordinary showing of cause demonstrating that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to permit discovery essential to a party to the proceeding. Interrogatories, depositions or other forms of discovery (other than the document production set forth above) shall not occur except by consent of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute. Disputes concerning the scope of document production or enforcement of the document production will be determined by written agreement of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute or, failing such agreement, will be referred to the arbitrators for resolution. All discovery requests will be subject to the parties’ rights (and the rights of any witness) to claim any applicable Privilege. The arbitrators will adopt procedures to protect the proprietary rights of the parties and to maintain the confidential treatment of the arbitration proceedings (except as may be required by Law).

(b) The arbitrators shall have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability but shall otherwise be limited to interpreting or construing the applicable provisions

41

of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and will have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; it being understood, however, that the arbitrators will have full authority to implement the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of this Agreement; provided that the arbitrators shall not have (i) any authority in excess of the authority a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the Dispute would have absent these arbitration provisions or (ii) any right or power to award exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, remote or speculative damages (including in respect of lost profits or revenues) or treble damages (provided that this clause (ii) shall not limit the award of any such damages to the extent they are included in any Liabilities to third parties as to which the provisions of this Article V are applicable). It is the intention of the Parties that in rendering a decision the arbitrators should give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and follow applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not give rise to a right of judicial review of the arbitrators’ award).

(c) If a party fails or refuses to appear at and participate in an arbitration hearing after due notice, the arbitrators may hear and determine the controversy upon evidence produced by the appearing party. Any decision rendered under such circumstances shall be as valid and enforceable as if the parties had appeared and participated fully at all stages.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 6.6, the arbitrators are authorized but not required to award attorneys’ fees, expenses, and other costs of arbitration to the prevailing party as part of any arbitration award under this Article V.

Section 5.7 Certain Additional Matters .

(a) Any arbitration award shall be an award with a holding in favor of or against a party and shall include findings as to facts, issues or conclusions of law (including with respect to any matters relating to the validity or infringement of patents or patent applications) and shall include a statement of the reasoning on which the award rests. The arbitrators are specifically authorized to award, in addition to damages, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and an order of specific performance, in appropriate circumstances (including for breaches of Section 6.11). The award must also be in adequate form so that a judgment of a court may be entered thereupon. Judgment upon any arbitration award hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award shall not be vacated or appealed except on the bases of (i) the award being procured by fraud or corruption, (ii) an arbitrator being partial or corrupt, (iii) the arbitrators wrongfully refusing to postpone a hearing or hear evidence, or (iv) the arbitrators exceeding the scope of the power granted to them in this Agreement.

(b) Regardless of whether an Escalation Notice has been delivered, at any time prior to the time at which arbitrators are appointed pursuant to Section 5.4, any party may seek one or more temporary restraining orders or other injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction if necessary in order to preserve and protect the status quo (including as a result of an actual or threatened breach of Section 6.11). Neither the request for, nor the grant or denial of, any such temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief shall be deemed a waiver of the right or obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, and the arbitrators may dissolve, continue or modify

42

any such order after their appointment. Any such temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief shall remain in effect until the first to occur of the expiration of the order in accordance with its terms or the dissolution thereof by the arbitrators.

(c) Except as required by applicable Law, the parties shall hold, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives to hold, the existence, content and result of discussions, negotiations, mediation or arbitration under this Article V in confidence in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9 and except as may be required in order to enforce any award. Each of the parties shall request that any mediator or arbitrator comply with such confidentiality requirement.

Section 5.8 Continuity of Service and Performance . Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article V with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute.

Section 5.9 Law Governing Arbitration Procedures . The interpretation of the provisions of this Article V, only insofar as they relate to the agreement to arbitrate and any procedures pursuant thereto, shall be governed by the Arbitration Act and other applicable U.S. federal Law. In all other respects, the interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed as set forth in Section 7.10.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 6.1 Other Agreements . In addition to the specific agreements, documents and instruments annexed to this Agreement, RemainCo and SpinCo agree to execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate parties and deliver, as appropriate, such other agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably requested by either Party and necessary or desirable in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 6.2 Further Instruments . Subject to Section 2.4, at the request of SpinCo or RemainCo and without payment of any further consideration, the other Party will execute and deliver, and will cause its applicable Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment, substitution and confirmation and take such action as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order more effectively to transfer, convey and assign to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries and confirm the requesting Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ title to all of the Assets, rights and other things of value contemplated to be transferred to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, any documents referred to therein and any Prior Transfers, to put the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries to exercise all rights with respect thereto (including rights under Contracts and other arrangements as to which the consent of any Third Party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). At the request of SpinCo or RemainCo and without payment of any further consideration, the other Party will execute and deliver, and will cause its applicable

43

Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries all instruments, assumptions, novations, undertakings, substitutions or other documents and take such other action as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have the other Party fully and unconditionally assume and discharge the Liabilities contemplated to be assumed by such Party under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any document in connection herewith or the Prior Transfers and to relieve the SpinCo Group or the RemainCo Group, as applicable, of any Liability or obligation with respect thereto and evidence the same to third parties. Neither RemainCo nor SpinCo shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend money other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees. Furthermore, each Party, at the request of another Party, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Prior Transfers.

Section 6.3 Provision of Books and Records . Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3, RemainCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or make available or cause to be delivered or made available to SpinCo all SpinCo Books and Records in the possession of the RemainCo Group, and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or make available or cause to be delivered or made available to RemainCo all RemainCo Books and Records in the possession of the SpinCo Group. The foregoing shall be limited by, or subject to, the following:

(a) To the extent any document can be subdivided without unreasonable effort or cost into two portions, one of which constitutes a SpinCo Book and Record and the other of which constitutes a RemainCo Book and Record, such document shall be so subdivided and the appropriate portions shall be delivered or made available to the Parties.

(b) Each Party may retain copies of books and records delivered or made available to the other, subject to holding in confidence in accordance with Section 6.9 Information contained in such books and records.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 6.3, for a period beginning on the Distribution Date and continuing in perpetuity, if either RemainCo or SpinCo identifies any RemainCo Books and Records then in the possession of a member of the SpinCo Group or any SpinCo Books and Records then in the possession of a member of the RemainCo Group, as applicable, RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, shall or shall cause any such RemainCo Books and Records or SpinCo Books and Records to be conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered, or otherwise made available, to the entity identified by SpinCo or RemainCo, as the case may be, as the appropriate transferee.

(d) Each Party may refuse to furnish any Information if so doing, in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment, could reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a Third Party even if SpinCo and RemainCo cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Neither Party shall be required to deliver or make available to the other books and records or portions thereof which are subject to any applicable Law or confidentiality agreements

44

which would by their terms prohibit such delivery; provided, however, if requested by the other Party, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction.

(f) To the extent any SpinCo Books and Records or RemainCo Books and Records are subject to restrictions or limitations set forth the Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, the Assumption and Loss Allocation Agreement, the Captive Insurance Novation and Assumption Agreements or the Intellectual Property Agreements, such restrictions and limitations shall apply to such SpinCo Books and Records or RemainCo Books and Records, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the documents described on Schedule 6.3 shall be subject to the specific provisions set forth on Schedule 6.3.

Section 6.4 Agreement For Exchange of Information .

(a) Subject to any limitations or restrictions pursuant to any applicable Law (including privacy and data security Laws) or pursuant to the provisions set forth on Schedule 6.3, from and after the Distribution Date for a period of ten years (and, with respect to Information that relates to any Third Party Claims, for a time period without any limit), each of RemainCo and SpinCo agrees to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to each other as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such Party that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements, requests or Laws imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities Laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party, (ii) for use in any pending or threatened judicial, regulatory, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding or investigation or in order to satisfy audit requirements (whether in connection with audits conducted by independent accounting firms, internal audits, or audits conducted by third parties entitled to do so by Contract, including customers and vendors), or in connection with accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements, except in the case of a Dispute subject to Article V brought by one Party against the other Party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable under Article V), (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Contract with a Third Party that is not an Affiliate, employee or agent of the requesting Party, or (iv) for any other significant business need as mutually determined in good faith by the Parties; provided, however, that in the event that either Party determines that any such provision (or making available) of Information is reasonably likely to be commercially detrimental or violate any Law, agreement or privacy policy or guidelines, the Parties shall take reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence; provided, that this Section 6.4(a) shall not limit any Party’s ability to implement such Party’s records retention policies (including the record destruction provisions thereof) and privacy policies and guidelines.

(a) RemainCo and SpinCo recognize that the members of their respective Groups possess and will possess information and advice that has been previously developed but is legally protected from disclosure under legal privileges, such as the attorney-client privilege or work product exemption and other concepts of legal privilege (“Privilege”). Each Party recognizes that it shall be jointly entitled to the Privilege with respect to such privileged information and that each shall be entitled to maintain and use for its own benefit all such information and advice, but both Parties shall ensure that such information is maintained so as to protect the Privileges with respect to the other Party’s interest.

With respect to matters relating to the SpinCo Business, SpinCo shall have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and RemainCo shall take no action (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to take action) without the prior written consent of SpinCo that could, in SpinCo’s Good Faith Judgment, reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any Privilege that could be asserted by SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries under applicable Law and this Agreement. The rights and obligations created by this Section 6.5 shall apply to all Information as to which RemainCo or SpinCo or their respective Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the Separation and Distribution (“Privileged Information”). Privileged Information of RemainCo includes (i) any and all Privileged Information existing prior to the Distribution regarding the RemainCo Business but which after the Distribution is in the possession of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the Distribution between counsel for RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries (including in-house counsel and former in-house counsel who are employees of SpinCo or its Subsidiaries) and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) all Privileged Information generated, received or arising after the Distribution that refers or relates to Privileged Information generated, received or arising prior to the Distribution.

(b) Upon receipt by RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Third Party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other or if RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Third Party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other, RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of the request and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 6.5 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, will not produce or disclose to any Third Party any of the other’s Privileged Information under this Section 6.5 unless (A) the other has provided its express written consent to such production or

48

disclosure, or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order not subject to interlocutory appeal or review finding that the Information is not entitled to protection from disclosure under any applicable Privilege, doctrine or rule.

(c) RemainCo’s transfer of SpinCo Books and Records and other Information to SpinCo, RemainCo’s agreement to permit SpinCo to obtain Information existing prior to the Distribution, SpinCo’s transfer of RemainCo Books and Records and other Information to RemainCo, and SpinCo’s agreement to permit RemainCo to obtain Information existing prior to the Distribution are made in reliance on RemainCo’s and SpinCo’s respective agreements, as set forth in Section 6.9 and this Section 6.5, to maintain the confidentiality of such Privileged Information and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be. The access to Privileged Information being granted pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.4(g) hereof and the disclosure to SpinCo and RemainCo of Privileged Information relating to the SpinCo Business or the RemainCo Business pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Separation and Distribution shall not be asserted by RemainCo or SpinCo to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 6.5 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to reduce, minimize or condition the rights granted to RemainCo and SpinCo in, or the obligations imposed upon RemainCo and SpinCo by, this Section 6.5.

(d) RemainCo, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each other member of the RemainCo Group, hereby waives any conflict of interest with respect to any attorney who is or becomes an officer or employee of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries resulting from such person being an officer or employee of RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries (including SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) at any time prior to the Distribution and agrees to allow such attorney to represent SpinCo and its Subsidiaries in any transaction or dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and transactions between the Parties and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates which commence following the Distribution Date.

49

other transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are incurred, but not paid, on or prior to the Distribution Date will be paid in accordance with the Side Letter.

Section 6.7 Surety Instruments .

(a) On or after the Distribution Date, if any Scheduled RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business are outstanding, SpinCo shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Scheduled RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business as promptly as practicable with Surety Instruments that (x) are issued for SpinCo’s own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries (or any combination thereof), (y) are acceptable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof and (z) neither impose any Liabilities, directly or indirectly, on RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries nor encumber or otherwise restrict, directly or indirectly, any Assets of RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries. From and after the Distribution Time: SpinCo shall indemnify and hold harmless RemainCo and each of its Subsidiaries from and against any other Losses arising from or relating to any Surety Instruments relating to the RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business. Without the prior written consent of RemainCo, SpinCo shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a Third Party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, or caused to be issued, any Surety Instruments relating to any RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business. The Parties agree that neither RemainCo nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any Surety Instruments relating to the RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business, after the expiration of any such Surety Instruments, provided that nothing in this Section 6.7(a) shall prevent RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries from renewing any Surety Instrument. If SpinCo theretofore has been unable to replace any of the Scheduled RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business, then, within ten days after a Change of Control of SpinCo (or, if later, on the 24 month anniversary of the Distribution Time if, within ten days after such Change of Control, SpinCo provides to RemainCo a valid, binding and enforceable guarantee, in favor of RemainCo, of SpinCo’s obligations under this Section 6.7(a) from the ultimate parent entity with control over SpinCo (provided that the Credit Quality of such ultimate parent entity, after providing the guarantee contemplated by this parenthetical, is, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm or a nationally recognized credit rating agency reasonably acceptable to RemainCo, not lower than the Credit Quality of SpinCo immediately prior to such Change of Control)), SpinCo will cause Applicable Security Instruments for Surety Obligations to be issued to RemainCo (or, as applicable, the Subsidiaries of RemainCo that are directly or contingently liable with respect thereto) to provide, in each case, RemainCo (or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries) with prompt cash reimbursement, in full, in the event of any draw, cash call or other event giving rise to any payment obligation on the part of RemainCo or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any such Scheduled RemainCo Surety Obligations for the SpinCo Business. If, as contemplated by clause (ii)(B) of the definition of “Applicable Security Instruments for Surety Obligations,” any Applicable Security Instrument for Surety Obligations issued as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence (or by this sentence) includes one or more indemnity bonds with an expiration date before the Surety Obligation End Date for the applicable Scheduled RemainCo Surety Obligation for the SpinCo Business and the issuer of such indemnity bond fails for any reason to grant any annual rolling one-year extension through the Surety Obligation End Date, then SpinCo shall promptly, and before the expiration of any

50

such indemnity bonds, cause to be issued in the place of each such indemnity bonds (i) new irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to RemainCo, with the amounts of such letters of credit being, in the aggregate, not less than the amount of the indemnity bonds being replaced and with such letters of credit providing that they will remain in effect through the applicable Surety Obligation End Date (or, if they will not remain in effect through such date, that they may be drawn in full by the beneficiaries thereof if such letters of credit are not, prior to 15 days before such expiration or termination, replaced with other letters of credit meeting the qualifications of this clause (i) or extended) or (ii) indemnity bonds issued by one or more financial institutions or other issuers, and on terms and conditions, reasonably acceptable to RemainCo with (A) the expiration date of such bonds being no earlier than the earlier of (1) three years after the date such bonds are issued and, if the expiration date is before the Surety Obligation End Date, providing for annual one-year extensions and (2) the Surety Obligation End Date and (B) the amounts of such bonds being not less than the amount of the indemnity bonds being replaced. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and acknowledged that the performance obligations of the Parties under this Section 6.7(a) are subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 3.13.

(b) On or after the Distribution Date, if any Scheduled SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business are outstanding, RemainCo shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Scheduled SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business as promptly as practicable with Surety Instruments that (x) are issued for RemainCo’s own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries (or any combination thereof), (y) are acceptable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof and (z) neither impose any Liabilities, directly or indirectly, on SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries nor encumber or otherwise restrict, directly or indirectly, any Assets of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries. From and after the Distribution Time: RemainCo shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and each of its Subsidiaries from and against any other Losses arising from or relating to any Surety Instruments relating to the SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business. Without the prior written consent of SpinCo, RemainCo shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a Third Party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, or caused to be issued, any Surety Instruments relating to any SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business. The Parties agree that neither SpinCo nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any Surety Instruments relating to the SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business, after the expiration of any such Surety Instruments, provided that nothing in this Section 6.7(b) shall prevent SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries from renewing any Surety Instrument. If RemainCo theretofore has been unable to replace any of the Scheduled SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business, then, within ten days after a Change of Control of RemainCo (or, if later, on the 24 month anniversary of the Distribution Time if, within ten days after such Change of Control, RemainCo provides to SpinCo a valid, binding and enforceable guarantee, in favor of SpinCo, of RemainCo’s obligations under this Section 6.7(b) from the ultimate parent entity with control over RemainCo (provided that the Credit Quality of such ultimate parent entity, after providing the guarantee contemplated by this parenthetical, is, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm or a nationally recognized credit rating agency reasonably acceptable to SpinCo, not lower than the Credit Quality of RemainCo immediately prior to such Change of Control)), RemainCo will cause Applicable Security Instruments for Surety Obligations to be

51

issued to SpinCo (or, as applicable, the Subsidiaries of SpinCo that are directly or contingently liable with respect thereto) to provide, in each case, SpinCo (or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries) with prompt cash reimbursement, in full, in the event of any draw, cash call or other event giving rise to any payment obligation on the part of SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any such Scheduled SpinCo Surety Obligations for the RemainCo Business. If, as contemplated by clause (ii)(B) of the definition of “Applicable Security Instruments for Surety Obligations,” any Applicable Security Instrument for Surety Obligations issued as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence (or by this sentence) includes one or more indemnity bonds with an expiration date before the Surety Obligation End Date for the applicable Scheduled SpinCo Surety Obligation for the RemainCo Business and the issuer of such indemnity bond fails for any reason to grant any annual rolling one-year extension through the Surety Obligation End Date, then RemainCo shall promptly, and before the expiration of any such indemnity bonds, cause to be issued in the place of each such indemnity bonds (i) new irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to SpinCo, with the amounts of such letters of credit being, in the aggregate, not less than the amount of the indemnity bonds being replaced and with such letters of credit providing that they will remain in effect through the applicable Surety Obligation End Date (or, if they will not remain in effect through such date, that they may be drawn in full by the beneficiaries thereof if such letters of credit are not, prior to 15 days before such expiration or termination, replaced with other letters of credit meeting the qualifications of this clause (i) or extended) or (ii) indemnity bonds issued by one or more financial institutions or other issuers, and on terms and conditions, reasonably acceptable to SpinCo with (A) the expiration date of such bonds being no earlier than the earlier of (1) three years after the date such bonds are issued and, if the expiration date is before the Surety Obligation End Date, providing for annual one-year extensions and (2) the Surety Obligation End Date and (B) the amounts of such bonds being not less than the amount of the indemnity bonds being replaced. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and acknowledged that the performance obligations of the Parties under this Section 6.7(b) are subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 3.13.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, RemainCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both Parties will cooperate in seeking to obtain. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party who is being compelled to disclose (or whose Group member is being

55

compelled to disclose) shall, and shall cause the applicable members at its Group to, furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. As used in this Section 6.9, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary, technical or proprietary, operational Information (including Trade Secrets and proprietary Information relating to the ages, birth dates, social security numbers, health-related matters or other confidential matters concerning employees or former employees) of one Party or members of its Group which, prior to or following the Distribution Time, has been disclosed by RemainCo or members of the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, or SpinCo or members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other Group, including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 6.4 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or by virtue of employees of the RemainCo Group becoming employees of the SpinCo Group or employees of the SpinCo Group becoming employees of the RemainCo Group as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such Party (or, in the case of RemainCo, any other member of the RemainCo Group or, in the case of SpinCo, any other member of the SpinCo Group) or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party (or, in the case of RemainCo, such member of the RemainCo Group or, in the case of SpinCo, such member of the SpinCo Group) to which it was furnished; provided, however, in the case of (b) that such sources did not provide such Information in breach of any confidentiality obligations).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) RemainCo and the other members of the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between RemainCo or any other member of the RemainCo Group, or SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and any employee of RemainCo or any other member of the RemainCo Group, or SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect.
