ARTICLE II
PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS

Section 2.01 Manner of Preparation; Elections. All Tax Returns filed after the Distribution Date, to the extent Tax Items, elections, accounting methods, conventions or Tax principles reflected on such Tax Returns could reasonably be expected to affect Tax Items, elections, accounting methods, conventions or Tax principles reflected on any Tax Return filed before the Distribution Date, shall be prepared in accordance with past practice (unless such past practice is no longer permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax law), or to the extent any such Tax Items, elections, accounting methods, conventions or Tax principles are not covered by past practice (or in the event such past practice is no longer permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax law), in accordance with reasonable Tax practices selected by Viad. All Tax Returns filed after the Distribution Date shall be filed on a timely basis by the party responsible for such filing under this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, all decisions relating to the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit or other review of such Tax Returns shall be made in the sole discretion of the party responsible under this Agreement for such filing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, without the prior written consent of Viad, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no member of the Newco Group shall carry back to any taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date any Tax Attribute arising in any taxable period beginning on or after the Distribution Date. To the extent any such carryback is not so consented to by Viad, then Viad shall be entitled to retain for itself any refund or other benefit obtained from such carryback filed by Newco or a member of the Newco Group. Newco shall promptly reimburse Viad for the amount, if any, by which any Tax Detriment incurred by the Viad Group or any member thereof as a result of such carryback exceeds the Tax Benefit(s) to the Viad Group or any member thereof as a result of such carryback, upon receipt of documentation detailing such Tax Detriment(s) within fifteen (15) days of receipt of documentation, after which any unpaid amount will accrue interest at the rate for income tax deficiencies specified in Section 3.01. Section 6.04 of the Employee Benefits Agreement (entitled “Tax Deductions”) is hereby incorporated by reference, and all Tax Returns shall be filed in a manner consistent therewith.

Section 2.02 Preparation and Filing of, and Elections with respect to, Pre-Spin-Off Tax Returns. (a) Consolidated Federal Income Tax Returns. All consolidated federal income Tax Returns which include a member of the Viad Group and a member of the Newco Group that are required to be filed for periods beginning before the Distribution Date shall be prepared and filed by Viad. Newco shall, for each of such aforesaid taxable periods for which it or any member of the Newco Group is includible in the consolidated federal income Tax Return of Viad, provide Viad with a true, complete, and correct (i) pro forma consolidated federal income Tax Return (without regard to the alternative minimum tax) for those members of the Newco Group includible in Viad’s consolidated federal income Tax Return for such taxable period, treating Newco as the common parent of such deemed consolidated group, together with an accompanying computation of the pro forma consolidated federal income Tax liability (without regard to the alternative minimum tax) of such deemed consolidated group, (ii) separate federal income Tax Returns (without regard to the alternative minimum tax) for Newco and each member of the Newco Group together with accompanying computations of the separate federal income Tax liabilities (without regard to the alternative minimum tax) of Newco and each

Page 8

member of the Newco Group and (iii) a reconciliation of book income to federal taxable income for Newco and each member of the Newco Group. Such Tax Returns and reconciliation shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Viad and Newco shall reflect in them any reasonable comments of Viad. Newco shall provide Viad with such Returns and computations on or before the first (1^st) day of the eighth (8^th) month following the end of the period to which such Returns and computations relate, but in any event Newco shall provide such Returns and computations no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the eighth (8^th) month following the end of the period to which such Returns and computations relate unless another date is agreed to in writing by both parties. Viad shall notify Newco of the intended filing date of its then due consolidated federal income Tax Return and Newco shall pay Viad at least one (1) day prior to such filing date the amount of total federal income Tax liability shown on the above-referenced pro forma consolidated federal income Tax Returns (reflecting Viad’s comments) for the members of the Newco Group includible in Viad’s consolidated federal income Tax Return, reduced by all Estimated Tax payments theretofore made by Newco or any Newco Group member to Viad on account of such Tax liability, or if such Estimated Tax payments in the aggregate exceed the federal income Tax liability of Newco and each member of the Newco Group, Viad shall pay such excess to Newco within thirty (30) days of the filing by Viad of the consolidated federal income Tax Return with respect to which such overpayment relates. Additionally, Newco shall pay Viad at least one (1) day prior to such filing date an amount (calculated in the manner described in Section 2.01(d)) equal to the value of the Tax Attributes, if any, apportioned or allocated to Newco as a result of the Tax filing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Newco for itself and each member of the Newco Group shall calculate and shall remit to Viad at least two (2) day prior to the due date of each Viad Estimated Tax payment the Estimated Tax liability attributable to Newco and each member of the Newco Group on a consolidated basis for the period to which such Estimated Tax payment relates; provided, however, that such calculation shall be subject to review and approval by Viad.

(b) Combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Returns. All combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Returns which include a member of the Viad Group and a member of the Newco Group that are required to be filed for periods beginning before the Distribution Date shall be prepared and filed by Viad. Newco shall, for each of such aforesaid taxable periods for which it or any member of the Newco Group is includible in any combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Return of Viad, provide Viad with true, complete, and correct state and local Tax Return data required or requested by Viad, including any information necessary to (i) prepare pro forma combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Returns (without regard to any alternative minimum tax), as applicable, for those members of the Newco Group includible in Viad’s combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Return for such taxable period, treating Newco as the common parent of such deemed combined or consolidated group, (ii) compute the pro forma combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax liability (without regard to the alternative minimum tax) of such deemed combined or consolidated group, (iii) prepare separate state or local income or franchise Tax Returns for Newco and each member of the Newco Group, (iv) compute the separate state or local income or franchise Tax liabilities of Newco and each member of the Newco Group and (v) reconcile book income to state or local taxable income for Newco and each member of the Newco Group. Such Tax Return data shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Viad and Newco shall reflect

Page 9

in it any reasonable comments of Viad. Newco shall provide Viad with such Tax Return data on or before the first (1^st) day of the eighth (8^th) month following the end of the period to which such Tax Return data relates, but in any event Newco shall provide such Tax Return data no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the eighth (8^th) month following the end of the period to which such Tax Return data relates unless another date is agreed to in writing by both parties. Viad shall notify Newco of the intended filing date of Viad’s then due combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Return and Newco shall pay Viad at least one (1) day prior to such filing date the amount of total state or local income or franchise Tax liability attributable to the members of the Newco Group for the period to which such Tax Return relates, reduced by all Estimated Tax payments theretofore made by Newco or any Newco Group member to Viad on account of such Tax liability, or if such Estimated Tax payments in the aggregate exceed the state or local income or franchise Tax liability of Newco and each member of the Newco Group, Viad shall pay such excess to Newco within thirty (30) days of the filing by Viad of the combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Return with respect to which such overpayment relates. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Newco for itself and each member of the Newco Group shall calculate and shall remit to Viad at least two (2) day prior to the due date of each Viad Estimated Tax payment the Estimated Tax liability attributable to Newco and each member of the Newco Group on a combined or consolidated basis for the period to which such Estimated Tax payment relates; provided, however, that such calculation shall be subject to review and approval by Viad. The tax savings, if any, resulting from filing combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Returns for the short period ending on the Distribution Date will be allocated to Newco in a manner consistent with the most recent period (except that Viad will not hold back 20% of Newco’s allocated savings for future audits, as it has done in the past). If there should be adjustments to any combined or consolidated state or local income or franchise Tax Returns, or to a consolidated federal income Tax Return as a result of an audit, or any other settlement with a Tax Authority, the additional Tax or Refund will be settled between Viad and Newco in accordance with Article III.

(c) Other Tax Returns. All Tax Returns (other than Tax Returns described in Sections 2.02(a) and (b)) which include or are filed with respect to a member of the Viad Group or the Newco Group that are required to be filed for periods beginning before the Distribution Date shall be filed by the member of the Viad Group or the Newco Group, as the case may be, which filed the corresponding Tax Return for the most recent period for which such Tax Return has been filed, or, if no such corresponding Tax Return has been filed, by the appropriate member in accordance with applicable law or custom. In the case of such Tax Returns filed by a member of the Viad Group, Newco shall be liable for and pay to Viad the portion of the Tax liability on such Tax Returns attributable to Newco Group members, at the time and in the amount determined in accordance with past practice. In the case of such Returns filed by a member of the Newco Group, Viad shall be liable for and pay to Newco the portion of the Tax liability on such Returns attributable to Viad Group members, at the time and in the amount determined in accordance with past practice. For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Return that includes only members of the Newco Group (a “Separate Return”) and any Taxes with respect to such Separate Return shall be the responsibility of the Newco Group, and Newco shall indemnify Viad with respect to such Tax Returns and Taxes.

Page 10

(d) Apportionment of Tax Attributes. Credits arising in connection with any alternative minimum tax liability (“Alternative Minimum Tax Credits”) shall be apportioned based on alternative minimum taxable income (as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Code) and consistent with the attached allocation schedule of credits arising prior to 2004. Any unused credits described in Section 38 of the Code (“General Business Credits”) shall be allocated to the entity that generated such credits, taking into account current year utilization following the ordering rules of Section 38(d) of the Code. In order to reflect the fact that under the historic intercompany tax sharing arrangement between Viad and TECI (i) tax sharing payments from TECI to Viad have been made without regard to Section 55 of the Code, as a result of which such tax sharing payments from TECI to Viad have been less than such payments would have otherwise been and (ii) Viad has previously paid TECI in respect of General Business Credits which Viad has been unable to use as a result of being subject to tax under Section 55 of the Code, TECI shall, in respect of any Alternative Minimum Tax Credits and General Business Credits apportioned to a separate return year of Newco, make a tax sharing payment prior to the Distribution Date to Viad in an amount equal to the amount so apportioned; provided, however, that (i) the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall be recalculated at any time that facts or circumstances arise or come to light which affect the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) (including, without limitation, the filing of a Tax Return or any adjustment made by any Taxing Authority as described in Article III) and (ii) if such facts or circumstances arise or come to light after any payment by TECI to Viad pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) which, if known when such payment was made would have increased or reduced the amount of such payment, then (A) if the amount of the payment made by TECI to Viad pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) exceeds the amount that would have been paid by TECI pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) had all of the facts and circumstances been know at the time such payment was made, Viad shall be required to remit to TECI in cash an amount equal to such excess and (B) if the amount that would have been paid by TECI pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) had all of the facts and circumstances been known at the time such payment was made exceeds the amount of the payment made by TECI to Viad pursuant to this Section 2.02(d), TECI shall be required to remit to Viad in cash an amount equal to such excess; provided further, however, that if, as a result of a Tax proceeding, an expense borne by Newco and deducted by Newco on a Tax Return is required to be deducted instead by Viad, Newco shall not be required to pay Viad, or cause Viad to be paid, for additional Tax Attributes apportioned to Newco as a result of such adjustment.

Section 2.03 Filing of Post-Spin-Off Tax Returns. All Tax Returns and Taxes for periods beginning on or after the Distribution Date shall be the responsibility of the Viad Group if such Tax Returns or Taxes relate to Viad Businesses, and shall be the responsibility of the Newco Group if such Tax Returns or Taxes relate to Newco Businesses.

Section 2.04 Certification. Each Tax Return and computation of tax liability, and all Tax Return data, required to be provided to Viad by Newco and each member of the Newco Group pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the Vice President – Taxes of Newco to the effect that such officer has reviewed for completeness and accuracy the Tax Return, computation of the Tax liability, Tax Return data and documentation in support thereof and has determined that such Tax Return, computation and Tax Return data properly reflect the taxable income (or loss), Tax liability and credits of the entity or

Page 11

entities, as the case may be, to which such Tax Return, computation and Tax Return data relate for the period covered thereby.

ARTICLE III
DEFICIENCIES AND REFUNDS OF TAXES

Section 3.01 Payment of Deficiencies by Newco. (a) Consolidated Federal Income Tax Returns. If any adjustment is made by the IRS with respect to any consolidated federal income Tax Return which includes a member of the Viad Group and a member of the Newco Group that is required to be filed for a taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date, then to the extent that such adjustment either increases the taxable income, reduces the taxable loss, decreases the tax credits or otherwise adjusts any Tax Item reflected on such Tax Return, the Tax liability of the Newco Group shall be redetermined in accordance with the principles of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article II for Tax Returns filed prior to, on or after the date hereof) taking into account such adjustment. If such redetermination results in a greater Tax liability for any period for the Newco Group, Newco and each other member of the Newco Group shall be liable for such increases in Taxes (except to the extent there is an offsetting Tax Benefit to Viad, in which case the Tax Benefit will be netted against the increase in Tax if such Tax Benefit is realized in the same year and otherwise will be paid by Viad to Newco if, as and when realized by Viad). If any member of the Newco Group shall have any liability as a result of this Section 3.01(a), Newco shall pay to Viad, hold Viad harmless and indemnify Viad for any such Tax liability, for any costs and attorneys fees spent to contest such Tax liability, and the amount thereof shall be paid by Newco to Viad within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Newco of written notice of such liability, together with a computation of the amount due and supporting documentation in such detail as Newco may reasonably request to verify the computation of the amount due. Any such required payment not made within such thirty (30) day period shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most recently published Underpayment Rate. For taxable periods beginning on or after the Distribution Date, in the event that Newco or any member of the Newco Group pays a liability which creates a Tax Benefit for Viad, which Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for the payment of such liability, such Tax Benefit will be paid by Viad to Newco if, as and when realized by Viad; provided, however, that if Viad shall pay Newco for such Tax Benefit and subsequently determine that is has lost the benefit of all or a portion of such Tax Benefit, Newco shall promptly remit to Viad the amount certified by Viad to be the amount necessary to restore Viad to the position Viad would have been in if no payment had been made by Viad to Newco pursuant to this sentence.

(b) Combined or Consolidated State or Local Income or Franchise Tax Returns. If any adjustment is made by any Tax Authority with respect to any state or local income or franchise Tax Return which includes a member of the Viad Group and a member of the Newco Group that is required to be filed for a taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date, then Newco and each member of the Newco Group, on the one hand, and Viad, on the other hand, shall share any resulting increase in Tax liability for such taxable period in the percentages set forth on Schedule A. If any member of the Newco Group shall have any liability as a result of this Section 3.01(b), Newco shall pay to Viad, hold Viad harmless and indemnify Viad for any such Tax liability, costs and attorneys fees spent to contest such Tax liability, and the amount thereof shall be paid by Newco to Viad within thirty (30) days of the

Page 12

receipt by Newco of written notice of such liability, together with a computation of the amount due and supporting documentation in such detail as Newco may reasonably request to verify the computation of the amount due. Any such required payment not made within such thirty (30) day period shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most recently published Underpayment Rate.

(c) Other Tax Returns. If any adjustment is made by any Tax Authority with respect to any Tax Return (other than those included in Section 3.01(a) and (b)) of Viad (or any member of the Viad Group) in which any member of the Newco Group is included for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date, then to the extent that such adjustment either increases the taxable income, reduces the taxable loss, decreases the tax credits or otherwise adjusts any Tax Item reflected on such Tax Return, the Tax liability of the Newco Group shall be redetermined in accordance with the principles of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article II) taking into account such adjustment. If such redetermination results in a greater Tax liability for any period for Newco or any member of the Newco Group, Newco and each other member of the Newco Group shall be liable for such increases in Taxes (unless there is an offsetting Tax Benefit to Viad, in which case the Tax Benefit will be netted against the increase in Tax if such Tax Benefit is realized in the same year and otherwise will be paid if, as and when realized). If any member of the Newco Group shall have any liability as a result of this Section 3.01(c), Newco shall pay to Viad, hold Viad harmless and indemnify Viad for any such Tax liability, costs and attorneys fees, and the amount thereof shall be paid by Newco to Viad within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Newco of written notice of such liability, together with a computation of the amount due and supporting documentation in such detail as Newco may reasonably request to verify the computation of the amount due. Any such required payment not made within such thirty (30) day period shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most recently published Underpayment Rate.

Section 3.02 Payment of Refunds to Newco. If any adjustment is made by any Tax Authority with respect to any Tax Return of Viad (or any member of the Viad Group) in which any member of the Newco Group is included for any taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date, then to the extent that such adjustment either (a) decreases the Tax liability attributable to any member of the Newco Group and results in a Tax Benefit, that would not have arisen but for such adjustment, to Viad or any member of the Viad Group or (b) is attributable to a member of the Newco Group and results in a reduced Tax liability, that would not have arisen but for such adjustment, for Viad or any member of the Viad Group (calculated consistently with the methodology and principles set forth in Section 3.01), then Viad shall remit to Newco any refunds of Taxes received by or credited to it as a result of such adjustments attributable to a member of the Newco Group. Viad shall pay any amounts due from it to Newco as a result of this Section 3.02 within ten (10) days of its receipt of the relevant refund or credit with respect thereto from the IRS or any state or other governmental unit, as the case may be. Any such required payment not made within such ten (10) day period shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most recently published Underpayment Rate. Such payments shall be accompanied by a computation of the amount due and supporting documentation in such detail as Newco may reasonably request to verify the computation of the amount due. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in this Section 3.02, no member of the Newco Group shall be entitled to any payment or benefit as a result of the receipt of any Tax

Page 13

refund received by any member of the Viad Group except as set forth in Section 2.02 to the extent such refund is attributable to the overpayment of Estimated Taxes by the Newco Group or any member thereof.
