ARTICLE VI

PAYMENTS

Section 6.01 Estimated Payments

Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to each Estimated Tax Installment Date with respect to a Taxable period for which a Consolidated Return or a Combined Return will be filed, H-D shall provide LiveWire with (a) a written notice setting forth the amount payable by LiveWire in respect of any estimated LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or estimated LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, as applicable, that LiveWire otherwise would have been required to pay to a Taxing Authority on such Estimated Tax Installment Date and (b) a written computation of such amount, together with reasonable supporting information. LiveWire shall pay to H-D on behalf of the LiveWire Group an amount equal to the amount of any such estimated LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or estimated LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, as applicable, in accordance with Section 6.05 of this Agreement. The calculations of estimated LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability and estimated LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability shall be determined in a manner consistent with the manner in which H-D computes the estimated Income Tax Liability with respect to the H-D Group and this Agreement.

Section 6.02 True-Up Payments

Not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability computation pursuant to Section 2.04(b) of this Agreement with respect to an entire taxable period, LiveWire shall pay to H-D, or H-D shall pay to LiveWire, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or the LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, as applicable, and the aggregate amount paid by LiveWire with respect to such period under Section 6.01 of this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Redetermination Amounts

In the event of a redetermination of any Tax Item reflected on any Consolidated Return or Combined Return, as a result of a refund of Taxes paid, a Final Determination or any settlement or compromise with any Taxing Authority which in any such case would affect the LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, H-D shall prepare a revised pro forma Tax Return in accordance with Section 2.03 of this Agreement but at H-D’s expense for the relevant taxable period reflecting the redetermination of such Tax Item as a result of such refund, Final Determination, settlement or compromise. LiveWire shall pay to H-D, or H-D shall pay to LiveWire, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, as applicable, reflected on such revised pro forma Tax Return and the LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or the LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability, as applicable, for such period as originally computed pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such amounts shall be equitably adjusted to account for (i) any Tax Asset of LiveWire that has been previously utilized by H-D to reduce income of the H-D Group and which Tax Asset has not been applied to reduce the amount of any LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability and (ii) any Tax Asset of LiveWire that has been applied to reduce LiveWire Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability.

Section 6.04 Payments of Refunds, Credits and Reimbursements

If one Party receives a Refund or Credit of any Tax to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the Party receiving such Refund or Credit shall pay to the other Party the amount of such Refund or Credit pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement. If one Party pays a Tax with respect to which the other Party is liable of responsible pursuant to Section 3.01 through Section 3.03 of this Agreement, then the liable or responsible Party shall pay to the other Party the amount of such Tax pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement.

Section 6.05 Payments Under This Agreement

(a) In General. In the event that one Party (the “Owing Party”) is required to make a payment to another Party (the “Owed Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, then such payments shall be made according to this Section 6.05. All payments shall be made to the Owed Party or to the appropriate Taxing Authority as specified by the Owed Party within the time prescribed for payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of written notice of payment owing together with a computation of the amounts due.

(b) Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the Parties agree that any payments made by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than (i) payments for the LiveWire Group Separate Federal Tax Liability or LiveWire Separate Other Tax Liability for any Post-Affiliation Period, (ii) payments of interest pursuant to Section 6.05(e) of this Agreement, (iii) payments of After Tax Amounts pursuant to Section 6.05(d) of this Agreement) shall be treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as nontaxable payments (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Deconsolidation Event and, accordingly, as not includible in the taxable income of the recipient or as deductible by the payor.

(c) Prompt Performance. All actions required to be taken (including payments) by any Party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be performed promptly. In the event any of the time periods for performance herein are determined to be insufficient to comply with relevant Tax and other filing obligations while providing the Parties a commercially reasonable period of time to review materials that they are otherwise entitled to review hereunder, then the Parties shall mutually agree to an adjustment to the applicable time periods to permit such compliance and commercially reasonable period of review.

(d) After Tax Amounts. If pursuant to a Final Determination it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment made under this Agreement (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 6.05(e) of this Agreement) is subject to any Tax, the Party making such payment shall be liable for (i) the After Tax Amount with respect to such payment and (ii) interest at the rate described in Section 6.05(e) of this Agreement on the amount of such Tax from the date such Tax accrues through the date of payment of such After Tax Amount. A Party making a demand for a payment pursuant to this Agreement and for a payment of an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment shall separately specify and compute such After Tax Amount. However, a Party may choose not to specify an After Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement without thereby being deemed to have waived its right subsequently to demand an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment.

(e) Interest. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement (the “Payment Period”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period through and including the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of such Payment Period. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days for which due.

13

Audit relating to such Tax Return and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Audit.

The Controlling Party shall not settle any Audit it controls concerning a Tax Item on a basis that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the non-Controlling Party by at least two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) without obtaining such non-Controlling Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.03 Notice

Within ten (10) Business Days after a Party becomes aware of the existence of a Tax issue that may give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, such Party shall give prompt notice to the other Party of such issue (such notice shall contain factual information, to the extent known, describing any asserted tax liability in reasonable detail), and shall promptly forward to the other Party copies of all notices and material communications with any Taxing Authority relating to such issue. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 9.08 of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Party to this Agreement fails to provide the other Party notice as required by this Section 7.03, and the failure results in a detriment to the other Party then any amount which the other Party is otherwise required to pay pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.04 Dispute Resolution.

In the event that H-D or any member of the H-D Group, as the case may be, on the one hand, and LiveWire or any member of the LiveWire Group, as the case may be, on the other hand, disagree as to the amount or calculation of any payment to be made under this Agreement, or the interpretation or application of any provision under this Agreement, the Chief Financial Officer of H-D and the Chief Financial Officer of LiveWire shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) Business Days following the commencement of the dispute, H-D and LiveWire shall jointly retain a tax attorney practicing with a nationally recognized law firm or independent public accounting firm, which firm is independent of both Parties, or a retired Federal judge experienced in matters involving Taxes (the “Independent Entity”), to resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree on an Independent Entity, then each Party shall appoint a Person who would qualify as an Independent Entity (but for the approval of the other Party), and such Persons shall then appoint a Person who meets the above description as the Independent Entity and who shall serve as the Independent Entity. The Independent Entity shall act as an arbitrator to resolve all points of disagreement and its decision shall be final and binding upon all Parties involved. Unless the Parties agree to a later time in writing, the Independent Entity shall reach its decision within sixty (60) Business Days after the Independent Entity is appointed. Following the decision of the Independent Entity, H-D, and members of the H-D Group, and LiveWire and members of the LiveWire Group, shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement the decision of the Independent Entity. The fees and expenses relating to the Independent Entity shall be borne equally by H-D and LiveWire.

References in this Agreement to any gender include references to all genders, and references to the singular include references to the plural and vice versa. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement is intended to calculate, allocate, and assign certain Tax responsibilities, liabilities, and benefits among the Parties to this Agreement, and any situation or circumstance concerning such calculation, allocation, and assignment that is not specifically contemplated hereby or provided for herein shall be determined in a manner consistent with the underlying principles of calculation, allocation, and assignment in this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Severability; No Presumption Against Drafter

The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability or the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this

16

Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.07 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Separation Agreement, and not this Tax Matters Agreement, shall apply with respect to Tax matters for taxable periods prior to the Closing Date.

Any and all prior correspondence, conversations, and memoranda are merged herein and shall be without effect hereon.

Section 9.11 Successors

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure only to the benefit of the Parties, the H-D Affiliates and the LiveWire Affiliates (and their respective successors and assigns, whether by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise); provided that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto.
