(a) Houston 401(k). Houston shall retain and be solely responsible for all Liabilities for plan benefits under the Houston 401(k) Plan relating to (i) Houston Employees, (ii) Former Employees and (iii) Everett Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the participation of all Everett Employees in the Houston 401(k) Plan shall cease upon the Distribution Date.

(b) Final 2017 Matching Contributions. All company matching contributions for all participants in the Houston 401(k) Plan in respect of the fiscal quarter of Houston’s fiscal year in which the Distribution Date occurs that have not been made prior to the Distribution Date will be contributed to the Houston 401(k) Plan as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (and in no event later than 15 days following the last day of such fiscal quarter). Such contributions will be made by Houston in respect of Houston Employees and any Everett Employees whose employment with the applicable Everett Entity terminated prior to the Distribution Date (the aggregate amount thereof, the “Houston 401(k) Contribution”) and will be made by Everett in respect of Everett Employees who remained employed by an Everett Entity immediately prior to the Distribution Date (the aggregate amount thereof, the “Everett 401(k) Contribution”). The amount that Houston actually contributes to the Houston 401(k) Plan pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be equal to (i) the Houston 401(k) Contribution, less (ii) the aggregate amount of the forfeiture account in the Houston 401(k) Plan as of the Distribution Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Houston 401(k) Contribution and the denominator of which is the sum of the Houston 401(k) Contribution and the Everett 401(k) Contribution. The amount that Everett actually contributes to the Houston 401(k) Plan pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be equal to (i) the Everett 401(k) Contribution, less (ii) the aggregate amount of the forfeiture account in the Houston 401(k) Plan as of the Distribution Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Everett 401(k) Contribution and the denominator of which is the sum of the Houston 401(k) Contribution and the Everett 401(k) Contribution.

Chicago shall cause the Chicago 401(k) Plan to take, any actions that are necessary to effect such rollovers.

6.4 Audit Rights With Respect to Information Provided.

(a) Each of Houston and Everett, and their duly authorized representatives, shall have the right, subject to applicable Laws, to conduct reasonable audits with respect to all information required to be provided to it by the other Party under this Agreement. The Party conducting the audit (the “Auditing Party”) may adopt reasonable procedures and guidelines for conducting audits and the selection of audit representatives under this Section 6.4. The Auditing Party shall have the right to make copies of any records at its expense, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable laws and to any confidentiality provisions set forth in the Separation Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein. The Party being audited shall provide the Auditing Party’s representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to its operations, computer systems and paper and electronic files, and provide workspace to its representatives. After any audit is completed, the Party being audited shall have the right to review a draft of the audit findings and to comment on those findings in writing within thirty business days after receiving such draft.

(b) The Auditing Party’s audit rights under this Section 6.4 shall include the right to audit, or participate in an audit facilitated by the Party being audited, of any Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Party being audited and to require the other Party to request any benefit providers and third parties with whom the Party being audited has a relationship, or agents of such Party, to agree to such an audit to the extent any such Persons are affected by or addressed in this Agreement (collectively, the “Non-parties”). The Party being audited shall, upon written request from the Auditing Party, provide an individual (at the Auditing Party’s expense) to supervise any audit of a Non-party. The Auditing Party shall be responsible for supplying, at the Auditing Party’s expense, additional personnel sufficient to complete the audit in a reasonably timely manner. The responsibility of the Party being audited shall be limited to providing, at the Auditing Party’s expense, a single individual at each audited site for purposes of facilitating the audit.

6.5 Fiduciary Matters. It is acknowledged that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

6.6 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor) and such consent is withheld, the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner. The phrase “commercially reasonable efforts” as used herein shall not be construed to require any Party to incur any non-routine or unreasonable expense or Liability or to waive any right.
