WHEREAS, in order to effect such separation, the RRD Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of RRD and its stockholders (i) to enter into a series of transactions whereby (A) RRD and/or one or more members of the RRD Group will own all of the RRD Retained Assets and assume (or retain) all of the RRD Retained Liabilities, (B) LSC and/or one or more members of the LSC Group will own all of the LSC Assets and assume (or retain) all of the LSC Liabilities and (C) Donnelley Financial and/or one or more members of the Donnelley Financial Group will own all of the Donnelley Financial Assets and assume (or retain) all of the Donnelley Financial Liabilities (such transactions set forth in this clause (i), as they may be amended or modified from time to time, collectively, the “Plan of Reorganization”), and (ii) after the transactions referred to in (i), for RRD to distribute to the holders of RRD Common Stock on a pro rata basis (in each case without consideration being paid by such stockholders) (A) one share of LSC common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LSC Common Stock”), for every eight shares of RRD’s common stock held on the Record Date, which constitutes 80.75% of the outstanding LSC Common Stock, and (B) one share of Donnelley Financial common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Donnelley Financial Common Stock”), for every eight shares of RRD’s common stock held on the Record Date, which constitutes 80.75% of the outstanding Donnelley Financial Common Stock;

WHEREAS, each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial has determined that it is necessary and desirable, on or prior to the Effective Time, to allocate and transfer to the applicable Party or its Subsidiaries those Assets, and to allocate and assign to the applicable Party or its Subsidiaries responsibility for those Liabilities, in respect of the applicable Businesses of such entities and those Assets and Liabilities in respect of other businesses and activities of RRD and its current and former Subsidiaries;


WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that each of the contributions of Assets to, and the Assumption of Liabilities by, LSC and Donnelley Financial together with the corresponding distributions of the LSC Common Stock and the Donnelley Financial Common Stock, respectively, qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

WHEREAS, each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial has determined that it is necessary and desirable to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Plan of Reorganization and each Distribution and to set forth other agreements that will govern certain other matters following the Effective Time.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain any necessary Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Relevant Time (i) the Party retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold such Asset for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability.

(b) If and when the Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

 

-42-


(c) The Party retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(e) After the Relevant Time, each Party may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to another Party. Accordingly, at all times after the Relevant Time, each Party authorizes the other applicable Party to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party as provided for in Section 12.6. The provisions of this Section 2.6(e) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.

(f) With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.6(a), each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all income Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the applicable Relevant Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the applicable Relevant Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any income Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Tax Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest relating to income Taxes).

(a) On the LSC Distribution Date, RRD will cause the Distribution Agent to distribute 80.75% of the outstanding shares of LSC Common Stock then owned by RRD to holders of RRD Common Stock on the LSC Distribution Record Date, and to credit the appropriate class and number of such shares of LSC Common Stock to book-entry accounts for each such holder of RRD Common Stock. For stockholders of RRD who own RRD Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of LSC Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. Each holder of RRD Common Stock on the LSC Distribution Record Date will be entitled to receive in the LSC Distribution one share of LSC Common Stock for every eight shares of RRD Common Stock held by such stockholder. No action by any such stockholder shall be necessary for such stockholder to receive the applicable number of shares of (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) LSC Common Stock such stockholder is entitled to in the LSC Distribution. In the event that the RRD Reverse Stock Split is not effected prior to the LSC Distribution Record Date, the number of shares of RRD Common Stock to be used in calculating the number of shares of LSC Common Stock to which RRD stockholders will be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be determined before giving effect to the RRD Reverse Stock Split.

(b) On or prior to the Donnelley Financial Distribution Date, RRD will cause the Distribution Agent to distribute 80.75% of the outstanding shares of Donnelley Financial Common Stock then owned by RRD to holders of RRD Common Stock on the Donnelley Financial Distribution Record Date, and to credit the appropriate class and number of such shares of Donnelley Financial Common Stock to book-entry accounts for each such holder of RRD Common Stock. For stockholders of RRD who own RRD Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Donnelley Financial Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee.

 

-52-


Each holder of RRD Common Stock on the Donnelley Financial Distribution Record Date will be entitled to receive in the Donnelley Financial Distribution one share of Donnelley Financial Common Stock for every eight shares of RRD Common Stock held by such stockholder. No action by any such stockholder shall be necessary for such stockholder to receive the applicable number of shares of (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) Donnelley Financial Common Stock such stockholder is entitled to in the Donnelley Financial Distribution. In the event that the RRD Reverse Stock Split is not effected prior to the Donnelley Financial Distribution Record Date, the number of shares of RRD Common Stock to be used in calculating the number of shares of Donnelley Financial Common Stock to which RRD stockholders will be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be determined before giving effect to the RRD Reverse Stock Split.

RRD stockholders holding a number of shares of RRD Common Stock, on the applicable Record Date, which would entitle such stockholders to receive less than one whole share of LSC Common Stock or Donnelley Financial Common Stock, as the case may be, in the applicable Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of LSC Common Stock or Donnelley Financial Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distributions nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of LSC Common Stock or Donnelley Financial Common Stock allocable to each holder of record of RRD Common Stock as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date (or in accordance with the applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company, to members thereof), (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of LSC Common Stock or Donnelley Financial Common Stock, as the case may be, after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income Tax purposes. LSC and Donnelley Financial, as the case may be, shall bear the cost of brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which sales shall occur as soon after the applicable Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. None of RRD, LSC, Donnelley Financial or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of LSC Common Stock or Donnelley Financial Common Stock. None of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent acting on behalf of the applicable Party will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold will be Affiliates of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial.

To the extent that a Party or any member of its Group receives from a third party any proceeds of any kind arising out of a RRD Contingent Asset, to the extent necessary, such Party shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following receipt thereof, unless there is a good faith dispute as to whether such proceeds are in fact RRD Contingent Assets and the matter has been submitted for resolution pursuant to the

 

-89-


terms of this Agreement, in which case, promptly following the final determination thereof) transfer such amounts to the other Parties pursuant to and in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage. Transfers under this Section 7.1(a) are subject to the relevant Parties’ agreement (i) as to the most cost efficient means of effecting such Transfer and (ii) to share any incremental costs arising as a result of such Transfer.

(b) Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article VII or a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement (with respect to Taxes) and without limiting the indemnification provisions of Article VIII, RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall each be responsible for each such Party’s share of any indemnifiable losses in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities pursuant to and in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article VIII; provided, that so long as any such Party is still an Affiliate of RRD, RRD shall be responsible for such Party’s Applicable Percentage of any such Assumed RRD Contingent Liability. Any amounts owed in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities (including reimbursement for the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending, managing or providing assistance to the Managing Party pursuant to Section 7.3(b) with respect to any Third Party Claim that is an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, which shall include any amounts with respect to a bond, prepayment or similar security or obligation required (or determined to be advisable by the Managing Party) to be posted by the Managing Party in respect of any claim) shall be remitted promptly after the Party entitled to such amount provides an invoice (including reasonable supporting Information with respect thereto) to the Party or Parties owing such amount and such costs and expenses shall be included in the calculation of the amount of the applicable Assumed RRD Contingent Liability in determining the reimbursement obligations of the other Parties with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Managing Party (and the Party providing assistance to the Managing Party pursuant to Section 7.3(b)) shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other Parties (in an amount equal to the Party’s Applicable Percentage) of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (which shall include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are solely dedicated to the management or defense of such Assumed RRD Contingent Liability but less any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as managing the Assumed RRD Contingent Liability) related to or arising out of defending or managing any such Assumed RRD Contingent Liability from LSC and Donnelley Financial, as applicable, from time to time when invoiced, in advance of a final determination or resolution of any Action related to an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability. For US federal income Tax purposes, the Parties shall treat the payment of Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities (and costs and expenses relating to Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities, as the case may be) as set forth in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement. It shall not be a defense to any obligation by any Party to pay any amounts, whether pursuant to this Article VII or in respect of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Article VIII, in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability that (i) such Party was not consulted in the defense or management thereof, (ii) that such Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, (iii) that such Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or (iv) that such Assumed RRD Contingent Liability was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of Liability (even if, subject in each case to Section 7.4 and Section 8.6, such settlement was effected without the consent or over the objection of such Party).

Section 7.2 Management of RRD Contingent Assets and Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities.

(a) For purposes of this Article VII, “Managing Party” shall initially mean RRD; provided, however, that under certain circumstances another Party may become the Managing Party as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

(b) Except as provided in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement (with respect to management of Tax audits), the Managing Party shall, on behalf of the other Parties, have sole and exclusive authority to commence, prosecute, manage, control, conduct or defend (or Assume the defense of) or otherwise determine all matters whatsoever (including, as applicable, litigation strategy and choice of legal counsel or other professionals) with respect to any RRD Contingent Asset and, on behalf of the other Parties, any Action or Third Party Claim with respect to an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability (including with respect to those RRD Contingent Assets and Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities set forth on Schedule 1.1(204) and Schedule 1.1(18)). The Managing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly notify the other Parties in the event that it commences an Action with respect to a RRD Contingent Asset; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any rights on the part of the other Parties against the Managing Party or affect any other provision of this Section 7.2. So long as the Managing Party has assumed and is actively and diligently conducting the defense of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), the other Parties will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Assumed RRD Contingent Liability without the prior written consent of the Managing Party , with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that the Managing Party may elect not to pursue any RRD Contingent Asset for any reason whatsoever (including a different assessment of the merits of any Action, claim or right than the other Parties or any business reasons that may be in the best interests of the Managing Party or a member of such Managing Party Group, without regard to the best interests of any member of the other Groups) and that no member of the Managing Party Group shall have any Liability to any Person (including any member of the other Parties’ Groups) as a result of any such determination.

(d) The Managing Party shall on a quarterly basis, or if a material development occurs as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, fully inform the other Parties of the status of and developments relating to any matter involving a RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability and provide copies of any material document, notices or other materials related to such matters. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the Managing Party in its management of any of such RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability and shall take such actions in connection therewith that the Managing Party reasonably requests (including providing access to such Party’s Records and employees as set forth in Section 7.3).

 

-91-


(e) None of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial shall take, or permit any member of its respective Group to take, any action (including commencing any Action) or omit to take any action that may interfere with or that may adversely affect the rights and powers of the Managing Party pursuant to this Article VII.

In the event that the Managing Party commences any such prosecution or assertion and, upon resolution of the dispute (pursuant to Article X or otherwise), it is determined that such Asset or Liability is not a RRD Contingent Asset or an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability and that such Asset or Liability belongs to another Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Managing Party shall have the right to cease the prosecution or assertion of such right or claim and the applicable Parties shall cooperate to transfer the control thereof to the applicable other Party. In such event, the applicable other Party, shall promptly reimburse the Managing Party for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred to such date in connection with the prosecution or assertion of such claim or right.

Unless otherwise prohibited by Law or more specifically provided in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement with respect to Tax audits and access to information related thereto, in connection with the management and disposition of any RRD Contingent Asset and/or any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, each of the Parties shall make readily available to and afford to the Managing Party and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or Confidential Information, to the employees, properties, and Information of such Party and the members of such Party’s Group insofar as such access relates to the relevant RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability; it being understood by the Parties that such access as well as any services provided pursuant to Section 7.3(b) below may require a significant time commitment on the part of such Party’s employees and that any such commitment shall not otherwise limit any of the rights or obligations set forth in this Article VII; it also being understood that such access and such services provided shall not unreasonably interfere with any of such Party’s employees’ normal functions. Nothing in this Section 7.3(a) shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s written Consent to the disclosure of such Information or seek an appropriate protective order.

(b) Certain Services. Each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall make available to the others, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents to assist in the management (including, if applicable, as

Section 7.4 Notice Relating to RRD Contingent Assets and Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities; Disputes.

(a) In the event that any Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Affiliates, becomes aware of (i) any Asset or Liability that may be a RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, as the case may be (ii) any matter or occurrence that has given or could give rise to an RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability or (iii) any matter reasonably relevant to the Managing Party’s ongoing or future management, prosecution, defense and/or administration of any RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, such Party shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of becoming aware, unless, by its nature the subject matter of such notice would require earlier notice) notify each of the relevant Managing Party and the other Party of any such matter (setting forth in reasonable detail the subject matter thereof); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except and solely to the extent that any such Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

and/or cooperate with a Governmental Entity, such Party shall be entitled to cooperate and respond to such Governmental Entity after, to the extent practicable under the specific circumstances, consultation with the Managing Party of such RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability; provided, that to the extent such consultation was not practicable such Party shall promptly inform the Managing Party of such cooperation and/or response to the Governmental Entity and the subject matter thereof. In the event that any Party is requested or required by any Governmental Entity in connection with any RRD Contingent Asset or Assumed RRD Contingent Liability pursuant to written or oral question or request for Information or documents in any legal or administrative proceeding, review, interrogatory, subpoena, investigation, demand, or similar process, such Party will notify the Managing Party promptly of the request or requirement and such Party’s response thereto.

Section 7.6 Default. In the event that one or more of the Parties defaults in any full or partial payment in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability (as provided in this Article VII and in Article VIII), including the payment of the costs and expenses of the Managing Party, then each non-defaulting Party (including RRD) shall be required to pay a pro rata portion of the amount in default based on the non-defaulting Parties’ relative Applicable Percentage; provided, however, that any such payment by a non-defaulting Party shall in no way release the defaulting Party from its obligations to pay its obligations in respect of such Assumed RRD Contingent Liability (both for past and future obligations) and any non-defaulting Party may exercise any available legal remedies available against such defaulting Party; provided, further, that interest shall accrue on any such defaulted amounts at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower). In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood that any defaulting Party’s share of the proceeds from any RRD Contingent Asset may be used via a right of offset to satisfy, in whole or in part, the obligations of such defaulting Party; such rights of offset shall be applied in favor of the non-defaulting Party or Parties in proportion to the additional amounts paid by any such non-defaulting Party.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 8.1(a) and Section 2.4(a) shall impair or otherwise affect any right of any Party, and as applicable, a member of the Party’s Group to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings contemplated in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that continue in effect after the Relevant Time. In addition, nothing contained in Section 8.1(a) shall release any person from:

(i) any Liability Assumed, Transferred or allocated to a Party or a member of such Party’s Group pursuant to or contemplated by, or any other Liability of any member of such Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement including (A) with respect to RRD, any RRD Retained Liability, (B) with respect to LSC, any LSC Liability, and (C) with respect to Donnelley Financial, any Donnelley Financial Liability;

(c) Each Party shall not, and shall not permit any member of its Group to make, any claim, demand or offset, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any other Party or any member of any other Party’s Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 7.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 8.1(a).

At any time, at the reasonable request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group and, to the extent practicable each other Person on whose behalf it released Liabilities pursuant to this Section 8.1 to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following (a) the LSC Distribution Date (with respect to the LSC Indemnitees) and (b) the Donnelley Financial Distribution Date (with respect to the Donnelley Financial Indemnitees), RRD shall and shall cause the other members of the RRD Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the LSC Indemnitees and the Donnelley Financial Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the LSC Indemnitees and the Donnelley Financial Indemnitees, respectively, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the RRD Retained Liabilities or alleged RRD Retained Liabilities, (ii) any Liabilities arising out of RRD Retained Assets or alleged RRD Retained Assets or (iii) any breach by RRD of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 8.3 Indemnification by LSC. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, LSC shall and shall cause the other members of the LSC Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the RRD Indemnitees and the

Section 8.4 Indemnification by Donnelley Financial. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, Donnelley Financial shall and shall cause the other members of the Donnelley Financial Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the RRD Indemnitees and the LSC Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the RRD Indemnitees and the LSC Indemnitees, respectively, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Donnelley Financial Liabilities or alleged Donnelley Financial Liabilities, (b) any Liabilities arising out of RRD Retained Assets or alleged RRD Retained Assets or (c) any breach by Donnelley Financial of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 8.5 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 8.5(b)), within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against a RRD Indemnitee, a LSC Indemnitee or a Donnelley Financial Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Party (and, if applicable, the Managing Party) which is or may be required pursuant to this Article VIII or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly and in any event by the date (the “Outside Notice Date”) that is the tenth Business Day after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim (such written notice, the “Third Party Claim Notice”). If any Party shall receive Third Party Claim Notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of a Third Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, such Party, as appropriate, shall give the Managing Party (as determined pursuant to Article VI) the Third Party Claim Notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days after such Person becomes aware of such Third Party Claim; provided,

 

-97-


however, that the failure to provide the Third Party Claim Notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period beginning immediately after the Outside Notice Date and ending on the date that the Indemnitee gives the required Third Party Claim Notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) Other than in the case of (i) an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability (the defense of which shall be assumed and controlled by the Managing Party as provided for in Article VI), (ii) indemnification pursuant to a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement or (iii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be assumed and controlled by the beneficiary Party), an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel to represent such Indemnitee if, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim which would make representation of both such parties by one counsel inappropriate, and in such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to or elected not to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above); provided, further, that if (i) the Third Party Claim is not an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Other than in the case of an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing responsibility under this Article VIII for a

 

-98-


Third Party Claim, regardless of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense thereof or not in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5(c), then in no event will the Indemnitee admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim that is not an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability (with any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability handled in accordance with Article VII) without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnitee releases the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligation hereunder in writing with respect to such Third Party Claim and such settlement, compromise or discharge would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing Liability for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and releases the Indemnitee completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee or admit any wrongdoing by the Indemnitee. Other than in the case of an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, if an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election to do so as provided herein, or an Indemnifying Party refuses to acknowledge in writing or otherwise disputes its responsibility for such Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee may compromise, settle or defend such Third Party Claim.

(e) In the event and to the extent of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

Section 8.6 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that is not an Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, the Parties shall cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense, prosecution and/or settlement of any Third Party Claim. In furtherance of this obligation, the Parties agree that if an Indemnifying Party chooses to assume the defense of, or to compromise or settle, any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, upon written request, (x) their former and then current directors, officers, employees and agents and those of their subsidiaries as witnesses and (y) as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such written request, any agreements, books, records, files or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that (i) any such Person, agreements, books, records, files or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement, prosecution or compromise and (ii) making such Person, agreements, books

 

-99-


records or other documents so available would not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege of the Indemnitee. At the request of an Indemnifying Party, an Indemnitee shall enter into a reasonably acceptable joint defense agreement.

(b) Each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(c) Except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, except as set forth in Section 12.20, the remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy and shall preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.7 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article VIII shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss or Liability is incurred.

Section 8.8 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(b)(ii), Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.4(b), including in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein or therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in Liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. With respect to the foregoing, the relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the Information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnitee, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to Information and opportunity to correct or prevent any statement or omission.

(b) The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.8 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8.8(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnitee as a result of the Liabilities referred to in Section 8.8(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 8.9 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VIII including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any Assumed RRD Contingent Liability, will be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, (ii) net of any proceeds received by the Indemnitee from any third party for indemnification for such Liability that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”), and (iii) net of any Tax benefits actually realized in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth or referred to in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, and increased in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VIII to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the indemnification and contributions hereof do not relieve any insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim to pay such claim. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds under an arrangement where future premiums are adjusted to reflect prior claims in excess of prior premiums) to which the Indemnitee is entitled in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which the Indemnitee seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

Section 8.10 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VIII shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article VIII shall survive the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

 

-101-


(c) Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, preserve and keep their Records relating to financial reporting, internal audit, employee benefits, past acquisition or disposition transactions, claims, demands, actions, and email files and backup tapes regarding any of the foregoing as such pertains to any period prior to the Effective Time in their possession, whether in electronic form or otherwise, until the latest of, as applicable (i) ten (10) years following the Final Separation Date or (ii) the date on which such Records are no longer required to be retained pursuant to such Party’s applicable record retention policy and schedules as in effect immediately prior to the Final Separation Date; provided, however, to the extent a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement provides for a longer period of retention of Tax Records, such longer period as provided in a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE IX

CONFIDENTIALITY; ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Section 9.1 Provision of Corporate Records. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VIII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax records (in which event the provisions of the applicable Tax Disaffiliation Agreement will govern) and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VII, and subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or Confidential Information:

(b) After the LSC Distribution Date, upon the prior written request by RRD or Donnelley Financial for specific and identified Information which relates to (x) RRD or Donnelley Financial or the conduct of the RRD Retained Business or Donnelley Financial Business, as the case may be, up to the LSC Distribution Date, or (y) any Ancillary Agreement to which LSC and one or more of RRD and/or Donnelley Financial are parties, as applicable, LSC shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if the Party making the request has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of LSC or any of its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

Section 9.2 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VIII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern) or for access with respect to Tax matters (in which event the provisions of a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement will govern) and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VII, from and after the applicable Relevant Time, each of RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall afford to the other and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or Confidential Information, to the personnel, properties, and Information of such Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party and relates to (x) such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Relevant Time or (y) any Ancillary Agreement to which each of the Party requesting such access and the Party requested to grant such access are Parties. Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain such third party Consent to the disclosure of such Information. Nothing herein shall alter or affect any confidentiality provisions of any of the Ancillary Agreements, or any Commercial Arrangement.

Section 9.3 Witness Services.

Section 9.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Time the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to hold, and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or use, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law), any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein) concerning any other Party; provided, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information and are informed of their obligation to hold such Information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against any other Party, or (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, Tax Returns or other required disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Party, as applicable, 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 such Parties will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other applicable Party or Parties to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise 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 each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect.

(iii) Donnelley Financial shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged Information which relates solely to the Donnelley Financial Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial. Donnelley Financial shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged Information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Donnelley Financial Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Donnelley Financial, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 9.6, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 9.6(b).

(d) No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which any other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, or as provided in subsections (e) or (f) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among any of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege, with regard to the matters at issue in the litigation or dispute, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and (i) shall not constitute a subject matter waiver with regard to all topic similar to topics at issue in the litigation or dispute, and (ii) shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the

Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(h) Upon receipt by any Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party or Parties a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 9.6 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information contemplated by Section 9.2 without first offering to deliver such Information to the other Parties, at the other Parties’ cost and expense; provided that (i) in the case of any Information relating to a pending or threatened Action that is known to a member of the Group in possession of such Information, the Parties shall comply with the requirements of the applicable “Litigation Hold” (provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Effective Time, the requirements of this clause (i) shall apply only to the extent that the member of the RRD Group, LSC Group or Donnelley Financial Group that is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” of such pending or threatened Action); and (ii) in no event shall a Party destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information required to be retained by applicable Law.

Section 10.2 Mediation. If, within forty-five (45) calendar days (or such longer period as may be agreed in writing between the Parties) after receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the Agreement Dispute, the Parties agree to submit the Agreement Dispute at the earliest possible date to mediation conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and to bear equally the costs of the mediation; provided, however, that each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with such mediation. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations related thereto for a period of thirty (30) days or such longer period as they may mutually agree following the initial mediation session (the “Mediation Period”).

Section 10.3 Arbitration. If the Agreement Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Mediation Period, such Agreement Dispute shall be determined, at the request of either relevant Party, by arbitration conducted in Chicago, Illinois, before and in accordance with the

 

-109-


then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as modified herein (the “Rules”). There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall have twenty (20) calendar days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties under this Section 10.3 shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, ranking and striking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause. Any controversy concerning whether an Agreement Dispute is an arbitrable Agreement Dispute, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Article X shall be determined by the arbitrators. In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the Parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply the substantive laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided, however, the arbitrators shall not be entitled to award punitive, exemplary, treble or any other form of non-compensatory damages except (i) in connection with indemnification for a Third Party Claim (and in such a case, only to the extent awarded in such Third Party Claim).

Section 10.4 Arbitration Period. Any arbitration proceeding shall be concluded in a maximum of six (6) months from the commencement of the arbitration. The parties involved in the proceeding may agree in writing to extend the arbitration period if necessary to appropriately resolve the Agreement Dispute.

Section 10.5 Treatment of Negotiations, Mediation and Arbitration. Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep confidential all matters relating to and any negotiation, mediation, conference, arbitration, discussion or arbitration award pursuant to this Article X shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules; provided, that such matters may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or stock exchange. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

 

-110-


Section 10.6 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide Services 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 X with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 10.7 Consolidation. The arbitrators may consolidate any Agreement Disputes under this Agreement if the subject of the Agreement Disputes thereunder arise out of or relate essentially to the same set of facts or transactions.

To the extent that, after thirty (30) days’ negotiation, the Parties are unable to determine whether a former employee is a Former RRD Employee, Former LSC Employee or Former Donnelley Financial Employee for purposes of administering a Claim under the Employment Practices Policies, the Parties agree that, solely for purposes of this Section 11.2(d) and without prejudicing the Parties in any other respect, such former employee shall be considered a Former RRD Employee and any such Claim shall be made under the RRD Employment Practices Policy.

With respect to such alternative insurance arrangements, RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall be responsible for their own costs under their applicable standalone insurance policies. RRD shall not under any circumstances purchase any such alternative coverage containing an exclusion for suits or claims based on wrongful acts, errors or omissions up to and including the Final Separation Date to the extent such exclusion would preclude coverage for LSC and Donnelley Financial and/or the insured persons thereof, but would not preclude coverage for RRD and/or the insured persons thereof.

(b) For suits or claims that are filed or made based upon occurrences that occurred or are alleged to have occurred in whole or in part prior to the respective Distribution Dates, RRD LSC and Donnelley Financial, shall be responsible for bearing the full amount of the deductible and/or any claims, costs and expenses that are not covered under such insurance policies including that portion of any premium adjustments, Tax, assessment or similar regulatory surcharges, that relates to claims based on occurrences that predate the respective Distribution Dates. RRD shall invoice LSC or Donnelley Financial, as the case may be, for any deductible any claims, costs and expenses that are not covered under such insurance policies including that portion of any premium adjustments, Tax, assessment or similar regulatory surcharges, that relates to claims based on occurrences that predate the respective Distribution Dates, within thirty (30) days of the incurrence thereof, or in connection with any deductible, within thirty (30) days of the settlement of any Insured Claim.

Section 11.4 Administration; Other Matters.

(a) Administration. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3 hereof, from and after the Effective Time, RRD shall be responsible for (i) Insurance Administration of the Shared Policies and (ii) Claims Administration under such Shared Policies with respect to Assumed RRD Contingent Liabilities, RRD Retained Liabilities, LSC Liabilities and Donnelley Financial Liabilities; provided, that the retention of such responsibilities by RRD is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under such Policies as contemplated by the terms of

 

-115-


this Agreement; and provided, further, that RRD’s retention of the administrative responsibilities for the Shared Policies shall not relieve the Party submitting any Insured Claim of the primary responsibility for reporting such Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner or of such Party’s authority to settle any such Insured Claim within any period or amount permitted or required by the relevant Policy. RRD may discharge its administrative responsibilities under this Section 11.4 by contracting for the provision of services by independent parties. Each of the applicable Parties shall pay any costs relating to defending its respective Insured Claims under Shared Policies to the extent such costs including defense, out-of-pocket expenses, and direct and indirect costs of employees or agents of RRD related to Claims Administration and Insurance Administration are not covered under such Policies. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for obtaining or reviewing the appropriateness of releases upon settlement of its respective Insured Claims under Shared Policies.

(b) Exceeding Policy Limits. Where LSC Liabilities and/or Donnelley Financial Liabilities, as applicable, are specifically covered under the same Shared Policy for occurrences, acts or events prior to the earlier of the LSC Distribution Date or the Donnelley Financial Distribution Date, regardless of whether the suit or claim is filed or made after the earlier of the LSC Distribution Date or the Donnelley Financial Distribution Date, then LSC and Donnelley Financial, or both, as the case may be, may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the applicable limits of liability of such Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 11.2, Section 11.3 or Section 11.4(c) hereof), subject to the terms of this Section 11.4. Except as set forth in this Section 11.4, RRD, LSC and Donnelley Financial shall not be liable to one another for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial, as the case may be, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Shared Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by RRD, LSC or Donnelley Financial or any defect in such claim or its processing. With respect to such coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles or self-insured retentions, LSC or Donnelley Financial, as the case may be, shall reimburse RRD for such coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles or self-insured retentions within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from RRD relating to any Insured Claim; provided that, to the extent the Parties dispute the obligation of a Party to reimburse, then the Parties agree to treat such disagreement as an Agreement Dispute pursuant to Article X of this Agreement. It is expressly understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Party’s liability to any other Party for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII.

(c) Allocation of Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3, Insurance Proceeds received with respect to suits, occurrences, claims, costs and expenses covered under the Shared Policies shall be paid to RRD with respect to RRD Retained Liabilities, to LSC with respect to LSC Liabilities, and to Donnelley Financial with respect to Donnelley Financial Liabilities. In the event that the aggregate limits on any Shared Policies are exhausted by the payment of Insured Claims by the relevant Parties, such Parties agree to allocate the Insurance Proceeds received thereunder based upon their

 

-116-


respective percentage of the total insured claim or claims which were covered under such Shared Policy (their “Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds”), and any Party who has received Insurance Proceeds in excess of such Party’s Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds shall pay to the other Party or Parties the appropriate amount so that each Party will have received its Allocable Portion of Insurance Proceeds. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under those Shared Policies applicable to it for the benefit of all Parties, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to recover from all other responsible parties (except the Parties) in respect of an Insured Claim to the extent coverage limits under a Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of such Insured Claim.

(d) Allocation of Aggregate Deductibles. In the event that two or more Parties have insured claims under any Shared Policy for which an aggregate deductible is payable, the Parties agree that the aggregate amount of the total deductible paid shall be borne by the Parties in the same proportion which the Insurance Proceeds received by each such Party bears to the total Insurance Proceeds received under the applicable Shared Policy (their “allocable share of the deductible”), and any Party who has paid more than its allocable share of the deductible shall be entitled to receive from any other Party or Parties an appropriate amount such that each Party will only have to bear its allocable share of the deductible.

Section 11.5 Cooperation. The Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.6 Certain Matters Relating to RRD’s Organizational Documents. For a period of six (6) years from the Final Separation Date, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws of RRD shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification than are set forth in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws of RRD in effect immediately after the Effective Time, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Final Separation Date in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Relevant Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of any member of the RRD Group or the LSC Group, the Donnelley Financial Group, unless such modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law.
