Section 4. Related Amendments. If and to the extent any other amendments to the Merger Agreement or the Separation Agreement are necessary to give effect to the changes contemplated by this Amendment, the Parties agree to make such further amendments.

Section 5. Limited Amendment. Except as specifically provided in this Amendment, the Merger Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without any other amendments or modifications.

Section 6. Tax Matters. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the execution of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be considered (A) an action or failure to take an action by any LMC Entity for purposes of clauses (x) and (y) of Section 2.04(c) of the Merger Agreement or (B) a LMC Disqualifying Action (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement), and (ii) for purposes of Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) of the Tax Matters Agreement, any adjustment to the number of shares of RMT Parent Capital Stock (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) related, directly or indirectly, to the payment of the RMT Parent Special Dividend shall not be considered “described in the Transaction Documents” or “provided for under the Merger Agreement.”
