Section 3.05 Right to Review and Consent to Tax Returns.

(a) To the extent Spinco is the Responsible Company with respect to any Tax Return that reflects (i) Taxes for which Remainco would reasonably be expected to be liable, including as a result of adjustments to the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax Return, (ii) the Contribution, Spinco Special Cash Payment, Spinco Distribution, and/or Merger, (iii) a Separation Transaction, or (iv) any other information that could reasonably be expected to impact the Tax liability of Remainco, Spinco shall submit to Remainco a draft of such Tax Return at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return for Remainco’s review, comment and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). Remainco shall have access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of all such Tax Returns and the Companies shall cooperate fully in the preparation and review of such Tax Returns. No later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such Tax Returns, Remainco shall have a right to object to such Tax Return (or items with respect thereto) by

14

written notice to Spinco; such written notice shall contain such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection.

(b) To the extent Remainco is the Responsible Company with respect to any Tax Return that reflects (i) Taxes for which Spinco would reasonably be expected to be liable, including as a result of adjustments to the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax Return, or (ii) any other information that could reasonably be expected to impact the Tax liability of Spinco, Remainco shall submit to Spinco a draft of such Tax Return at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return for Spinco’s review, comment and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld).

(d) In the event a Tax Return is filed that includes any disputed item for which proper notice was given pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05(b) that was not finally resolved and agreed upon, such disputed item (or items) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15. In the event that the resolution of such disputed item (or items) in accordance with Section 15 with respect to a Tax Return is inconsistent with such Tax Return as filed, Spinco (with cooperation from Remainco) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such Tax Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items).

Section 3.06 Refunds, Carrybacks and Amended Tax Returns.

(a) Refunds.

(i) Each Company (and its Affiliates) (the “Claiming Company”) shall be entitled to Refunds that relate to Taxes for which it (or its Affiliates) is liable hereunder, under the Employee Matters Agreement, or which it has previously paid. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a particular Refund may be allocable to multiple Parties, the portion of such Refund to which each Party will be entitled shall be determined by comparing the amount of payments made by a Party to a Tax Authority or to the other Party (and reduced by the amount of payments received from the other Party) pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 with the Tax liability of such Party as determined under Section 2.01, taking into account the facts as utilized for purposes of claiming such Refund.

(ii) Any Refund or portion thereof to which a Claiming Company is entitled pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) that is received or deemed to have been received as described herein by the other Company (or its Affiliates) shall be paid by such other Company to the Claiming Company in immediately available funds in accordance with Section 4. To the extent a Company (or its Affiliates) applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Tax Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such Refund, if received, would have been payable by such Company to the Claiming Company pursuant to this Section 3.06(a), such Company shall be deemed to have actually received a Refund to the extent thereof on the date on which the overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

15

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Company that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Affiliates to claim) a Refund shall be liable for any Taxes that become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the Refund claim.

(iv) Remainco and Spinco shall cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request to pursue any Refund to which either Party may be entitled under Section 3.06(a)(i).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Remainco shall be entitled to 100% of Refunds related to matters set forth on Exhibit E, and Remainco shall retain sole control over any proceedings, submissions, and correspondence with relevant Tax Authorities regarding such matters.

(b) Carrybacks.

(i) Each of the Companies shall be permitted (but not required) to carry back (or to cause its Affiliates to carry back) a Tax Attribute realized in a Post-Distribution Period or a Straddle Period to a Pre-Distribution Period or a Straddle Period only if such carryback cannot reasonably result in the other Company (or its Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes. If a carryback could reasonably result in the other Company (or its Affiliates) being liable for additional Taxes, such carryback shall be permitted only if such other Company consents to such carryback.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Company that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Affiliates to claim) a Tax Attribute carryback shall be liable for any Taxes that result from such carryback claim or become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the carryback claim.

(iii) A Company shall be entitled to any Refund that is attributable to, and would not have arisen but for, a carryback of a Tax Attribute by such Company pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 3.06(b).

(c) Amended Tax Returns. Spinco shall not file any amended Tax Return for a member of the Spinco Group that relates to a Pre-Distribution Period or any Tax Return to which Remainco is entitled to review pursuant to Section 3.05(a) without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Remainco.

Section 3.07 Apportionment of Tax Attributes(a) .

(a) Remainco shall reasonably determine in good faith, and advise Spinco in writing of, the amount of any Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period that shall be allocated or apportioned to the Spinco Group under applicable Law. The Remainco Group and the Spinco Group (to the extent the relevant information has been provided to the Spinco Group under this Section 3.07) agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Distribution Periods consistently with the determination of the allocation of Tax Attributes pursuant to this Section 3.07 unless otherwise required by a Final Determination. To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased as a result of a Final Determination, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to this Section 3.07. Remainco agrees to consult with Spinco regarding such allocation prior to the filing of any affected Tax Return regarding such allocation and consider in good faith any comments by Spinco on such allocation.

(b) Sixty (60) days after the filing of Remainco’s U.S. federal income Tax Return for the tax year in which the Spinco Distribution occurs, Remainco shall deliver to RMT Partner its determination in writing of the portion, if any, of any U.S. federal income Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis U.S. federal income Tax Attribute which is allocated or apportioned to the members of the Spinco Group under applicable Tax Law and this Agreement (“Proposed

16

Allocation”). RMT Partner shall have sixty (60) days to review the Proposed Allocation and provide Remainco any comments with respect thereto. If RMT Partner either provides no comments or provides comments to which Remainco agrees in writing, such resulting determination will become final (“Final Allocation”). If RMT Partner provides comments to the Proposed Allocation and Remainco does not agree, the Final Allocation will be determined in accordance with Section 15. All members of the Remainco Group, Spinco Group and RMT Partner shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance the Final Allocation. In the event of an adjustment to any such U.S. federal income Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis U.S. federal income attribute, Remainco shall promptly notify RMT Partner in writing of such adjustment. To the extent SpinCo requires any of the information described in this Section 3.07(b) to file any Tax Return prior to the date described in the first sentence of this Section 3.07(b), Remainco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide good faith estimates of such information to Spinco, within thirty (30) days of a written request by Spinco. For the avoidance of doubt, Remainco shall not be liable to any member of the Spinco Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 3.07(b) to be accurate under applicable Tax Law provided such determination was made in good faith.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Remainco shall not be obligated to undertake an “earnings and profits study” or similar determination, or provide information relating to earnings and profits for Spinco and Spinco Subsidiaries treated as domestic corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 4. Indemnification Payments.

Section 4.01 Indemnification Payments.

(a) If any Company (the “Payor”) or any Affiliate of the Payor is required under applicable Tax Law to pay to a Tax Authority a Tax that another Company (the “Required Company”) is liable for under this Agreement, the Payor shall provide notice to the Required Company for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Such Required Company shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after the receipt of notice to respond thereto. Unless the Required Company disputes the amount it is liable for under this Agreement within the forty-five (45) day period in the preceding sentence, the Required Company shall reimburse the Payor within sixty (60) Business Days of delivery by the Payor of the notice described above. To the extent the Required Company does not agree with the amount the Payor claims the Required Company is liable for under this Agreement, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.

(b) Any Tax indemnity payment required to be made by the Required Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by any corresponding Tax Benefit payment required to be made to the Required Company by the other Company pursuant to Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Benefit payment is treated as corresponding to a Tax indemnity payment to the extent the Tax Benefit realized is attributable to the same Tax Item (or adjustment of such Tax Item pursuant to a Final Determination) that gave rise to the Tax indemnity payment.

(c) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be made by Remainco directly to Spinco and by Spinco directly to Remainco; provided, however, that if the Companies mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Remainco Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 14.

Section 5. Tax Benefits and Remainco Tax Attributes.

Section 5.01 Tax Benefits.

(a) If a member of the Spinco Group realizes any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the Remainco Group is liable hereunder or under the

17

Employee Matters Agreement, or if a member of the Remainco Group realizes any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the Spinco Group is liable hereunder or under the Employee Matters Agreement, Spinco or Remainco, as the case may be, shall make a payment to the other company within one hundred twenty (120) Business Days following such realization of the Tax Benefit, in an amount equal to such Tax Benefit. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Tax Benefit results in the reduction of an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 4.01(b), no payment shall be required under this Section 5.01(a) to the extent the Required Company reduced its Tax indemnity payment under Section 4.01(b).

(b) No later than one hundred twenty (120) Business Days after a Tax Benefit described in Section 5.01(a) is realized by a member of the Remainco Group or a member of the Spinco Group, Remainco (if a member of the Remainco Group realizes such Tax Benefit) or Spinco (if a member of the Spinco Group realizes such Tax Benefit) shall provide the other Company with notice of the amount payable to such other Company by Remainco or Spinco pursuant to this Section 5. In the event that Remainco or Spinco disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 5.01(b), Remainco or Spinco shall so notify the other Company in writing within thirty (30) Business Days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 5.01(b). Remainco and Spinco shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement and the amount payable under this Section 5 shall be determined in accordance with the disagreement resolution provisions of Section 15 as promptly as practicable.

Section 5.02 VAT Credits. In the event that a member of the Spinco Group realizes a Tax Benefit arising from a VAT Credit in a Post-Distribution Period, Spinco shall make a payment to Remainco of the amount of such Tax Benefit within 30 Business Days.

Section 5.03 Orion Deductions.

Section 6. Employment Tax Matters.

Section 7. Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 7.01 Restrictions on Spinco (prior to the Second Merger) and RMT Partner. During the Restricted Period, Spinco and RMT Partner shall not:

(g) amend Spinco’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action or approve or allow the taking of any action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of Spinco stock;

(h) purchase, directly or through any Affiliate, any of RMT Partner’s outstanding stock, other than through stock purchases meeting the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (without regard to the effect of Revenue Procedure 2003-48 on Revenue Procedure 96-30);

(i) take any action or fail to take any action, or permit any member of the Spinco Group to take any action or fail to take any action, that is inconsistent with any representation or covenant made in the Tax Opinions/Rulings or the Ruling Request; or

(j) take any action or permit any other member of the Spinco Group to take any action (including any transactions with a third-party or any transaction with any Company) that, individually or in the aggregate (taking into account other transactions described in this Section 7.01), would be reasonably likely to adversely affect (A) the Intended Tax Treatment of the Contribution, Spinco Special Cash Payment, Spinco Distribution, Merger and Second Merger, or (B) the intended tax treatment of any Separation Transaction under U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law, as described on Exhibit C;

provided, however, that Spinco or RMT Partner shall be permitted to take such action or one or more actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (b) through (k) if, prior to taking any such actions, Spinco or RMT Partner shall (1) have received a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS, or a ruling from another Tax Authority that confirms that such action or actions will not result in Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”), in form and substance satisfactory to Remainco in its discretion (which discretion shall include consideration of the reasonableness of any representations made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling), or (2) have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to Remainco in its discretion (which discretion shall include consideration of the reasonableness of any representations or assumptions that may be included in such Unqualified Tax Opinion). Spinco and RMT Partner shall provide a copy of the Post-Distribution Ruling or the Unqualified Tax Opinion described in this paragraph to Remainco as soon as practicable prior to taking or failing to take any action set forth in the foregoing clauses (b) through (k). Remainco’s evaluation of a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. Spinco shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse Remainco for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Remainco may incur in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. For the avoidance of doubt, the presence of a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion shall not relieve Spinco or RMT Partner from any indemnification obligations otherwise present under this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Liability for Distribution Tax-Related Losses. In the event that Distribution Taxes become due and payable to a Tax Authority pursuant to a Final Determination, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to a Remainco Tainting Act, then Remainco shall be responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses;

19

(b) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to a Spinco Tainting Act, then Spinco shall be responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses;

(c) if such Distribution Taxes are attributable to both a Remainco Tainting Act and a Spinco Tainting Act, responsibility for such Distribution Tax-Related Losses shall be allocated between Remainco and Spinco according to relative fault; provided, however, that if such Distribution Taxes result from the application of Section 355(e) of the Code to the Spinco Distribution, (i) Remainco shall be one hundred percent (100%) responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses if a Remainco Tainting Act causes the application of Section 355(e) of the Code and a Spinco Tainting Act does not cause the application of Section 355(e) of the Code, and (ii) Spinco shall be one hundred percent (100%) responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses if a Spinco Tainting Act cause the application of Section 355(e) of the Code and a Remainco Tainting Act does not cause the application of Section 355(e) of the Code; and

(d) if such Distribution Taxes are not attributable to a Remainco Tainting Act or a Spinco Tainting Act, then Remainco shall be one hundred percent (100%) responsible for any Distribution Tax-Related Losses.

Section 7.03 Procedures Regarding Ruling Requests. RMT Partner acknowledges and agrees that Remainco may file one or more Ruling Requests.

In the event that a member of the Remainco Group, on the one hand, or a member of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer Pricing Adjustment, the Companies shall cooperate pursuant to this Section 8 to seek any competent authority relief that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment.

(b) Each Party shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with each other and with each other’s agents and advisors in connection with obtaining any tax opinion set forth on Exhibit B (to the extent not delivered prior to the date of this Agreement), including by providing any materials or information reasonably requested by the tax advisors rendering such opinion and by executing a representation letter containing representations and covenants (subject to customary assumptions and conditions) regarding such facts and actions within such Party’s control that are reasonably necessary for the rendering of such tax opinion.

20

(c) Any information or documents provided under this Section 8 shall be kept confidential by the Company receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither Remainco nor any Remainco Affiliate shall be required to provide Spinco, any Spinco Affiliate, or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information or procedures that relate to Spinco, the business or assets of Spinco or any of Spinco Affiliate, and (ii) in no event shall Remainco or any Remainco Affiliate be required to provide Spinco, any Spinco Affiliate, or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that Remainco determines that the provision of any information or documents to Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with this Section 8 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 8.02 Income Tax Return Information. Spinco and Remainco acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by Remainco or Spinco pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02. Each Company shall provide to the other Company information and documents relating to its Group required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and in sufficient time for the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 8.03 Non-Performance. If a Company (or any of its Affiliates) fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Section 8 upon reasonable request and notice by the other Company (or any of its Affiliates) and such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes, the non-performing Company shall be liable in full for such additional Taxes.

Section 8.04 Costs. Each Company shall devote the personnel and resources necessary in order to carry out this Section 8 and shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each Company shall carry out its responsibilities under this Section 8 at its own cost and expense.

Section 9. Tax Records.

Section 9.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Remainco shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven (7) years after the Spinco Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 9 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Company agrees, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such ninety (90)-day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Company determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such Company may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company and the

21

other Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90)-day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 9.02 Access to Tax Records. The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement. To the extent any Tax Records are required to be or are otherwise transferred by the Companies or their respective Affiliates to any person other than an Affiliate, the Company or its respective Affiliate shall transfer such records to the other Company at such time.

Section 10. Tax Contests.

Section 10.01 Notice. Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for which it is indemnified by the other Company hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Company hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters.

Section 10.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Controlling Company. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return, the Company that would be primarily liable under this Agreement to pay the applicable Tax Authority the Taxes resulting from such Tax Contest shall administer and control such Tax Contest (the “Controlling Company”). Notwithstanding the previous sentence:

(i) In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment or the tax treatment of any Separation Transaction, Remainco shall be the Controlling Company; provided, however, that if Spinco may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment under this Agreement in connection with the resolution of such Tax Contest, Spinco shall have the right to jointly control the Tax Contest to the extent relating to Taxes for which Spinco may reasonably be expected to indemnify under this Agreement, and Remainco shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Spinco (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent such settlement relates to Taxes for which Spinco may reasonably be expected to indemnify under this Agreement; and

(ii) In the case of any Tax Contest related in whole or in part to a matter set forth on Exhibit E, Remainco shall be the Controlling Company for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Information Rights. Unless waived by the Companies in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the other non-controlling Company (the “Non-Controlling Company”) may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment (or any payment under Section 5) to the Controlling Company under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Company shall keep the Non-Controlling Company informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Company with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Company shall provide the Non-Controlling Company copies of any written materials relating to

22

such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Company shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Company with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Company shall consult with the Non-Controlling Company (including, without limitation, regarding the use of outside advisors to assist with the Tax Contest) and offer the Non-Controlling Company a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Company shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Company to take any action specified in the preceding sentences with respect to the Non-Controlling Company shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Company of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Company under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Company was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Company from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Company.

(c) Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the Companies in writing, the Controlling Company shall provide the Non-Controlling Company with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Company shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Company may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment (or any payment under Section 5) to the Controlling Company under this Agreement. The failure of the Controlling Company to provide any notice specified in this Section 10.02(c) to the Non-Controlling Company shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Company of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Company under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Company was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Company from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Company.

(d) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Spinco Group shall execute and deliver to Remainco (or such member of the Remainco Group as Remainco shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Remainco (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Remainco is the Controlling Company) described in this Section 10. Each member of the Remainco Group shall execute and deliver to Spinco (or such member of the Spinco Group as Spinco shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Spinco (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Spinco is the Controlling Company) described in this Section 10.

(e) Costs. All external out-of-pocket costs and expenses that are incurred by the Controlling Company with respect to a Tax Contest related to an adjustment which the Non-Controlling Company may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be shared by the Companies according to each Company’s relative share of the potential Tax liability with respect to the Tax Contest as determined under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Non-Controlling Company shall not be liable for fees payable to outside advisors to the extent that the Controlling Company failed to consult with the Non-Controlling Company pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(i). If the Controlling Company incurs out-of-pocket costs and expenses to be shared under this Section 10.02(e) during a fiscal quarter, such Controlling Company shall provide notice to the Non-Controlling Company within thirty (30) days after the end of such fiscal quarter for the amount due from such Non-Controlling Company pursuant to this Section 10.02(e), describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Such Non-Controlling Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice to respond thereto. Unless the Non-Controlling Company disputes the amount it is liable for under this Section 10.02(e), the Non-Controlling Company shall reimburse the Controlling Company within forty-five (45) Business Days of delivery by the Controlling Company of the notice described above. To the extent the Non-Controlling Company does not agree with the amount the Controlling Company claims the Non-Controlling Company is liable for under this Section 10.02(e), the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15. During the first month of each fiscal quarter in which it expects to incur costs for which reimbursement may be sought under this Section 10.02(e), the Controlling Company will provide the Non-Controlling Company with a good faith estimate of such costs.

23

(f) Coordination with DWDP TMA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties shall take all reasonable actions and otherwise cooperate in good faith to ensure that MatCo and AgCo are each able to exercise Remainco’s rights under this Agreement to participate in any Tax Contest to the extent such participation by MatCo and/or AgCo is required to comply with Section 6.2 of the DWDP TMA. To the extent of such participation by MatCo and/or AgCo in a Tax Contest, the Parties shall take all reasonable actions and otherwise cooperate in good faith to ensure that Spinco is able to exercise Remainco’s rights under the DWDP TMA with respect to such Tax Contest.

Section 11. [Reserved]

Section 12. Effective Date; Termination of Prior Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, (a) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements between one or more members of the Remainco Group, on the one hand, and one or more members of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, shall be terminated; and (b) amounts due under such agreements as of the date hereof shall be settled as of the date hereof (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Section 12 shall not apply in any way to the DWDP TMA). Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to Remainco or by or to Spinco with respect to such agreements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements between the Companies and their Affiliates shall cease at such time.

Section 13. Survival of Obligations. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

Section 14. Treatment of Payments; Tax Gross Up.

Section 14.01 Treatment of Tax Indemnity and Tax Benefit Payments. In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law,

(a) any Tax indemnity payments made by a Company under this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes by the Payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Spinco Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the Payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability, and

(b) any Tax Benefit payments made by a Company under Section 5, shall be treated for Tax purposes by the Payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Spinco Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the Payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability.

Section 14.02 Tax Gross Up. If notwithstanding the manner in which Tax indemnity payments and Tax Benefit payments were reported, there is an adjustment to the Tax liability of a Company as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement. The Party receiving a Tax indemnity payment shall take reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce any such Income Taxes on such receipt.

24

Section 15. Disagreements.

Section 15.01 Discussion. The Parties mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Dispute”) between any member of the Remainco Group and any member of the Spinco Group or RMT Partner as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder, the Tax departments of the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.

Section 15.02 Escalation. If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Dispute, then the matter, upon written request of either Party, will be referred for resolution pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article IX of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 15.03 Referral to Tax Advisor for Computational Disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15, with respect to any Dispute under this Agreement involving computational matters, if the Parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the discussion process set forth in Section 15.01, then the Parties shall not refer the dispute to the escalation process set forth in Section 15.02, but rather the Dispute will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Parties to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. In the event that the Companies are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor within fifteen (15) Business Days following the completion of the discussion process, the Parties shall each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized law or accounting firm (each, a “Preliminary Tax Advisor”), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall jointly select a Tax Advisor on behalf of the Parties to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax Advisor deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the Parties of its resolution of any such Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than thirty (30) Business Days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be conclusive and binding on the Parties. Following receipt of the Tax Advisor’s written notice to the Parties of its resolution of the Dispute, the Parties shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Parties.

Section 15.04 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Section 15 will prevent the Parties from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Dispute through the process set forth above could result in serious and irreparable injury to the other Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Remainco, Spinco and RMT Partner (and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns) are the only entities entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and Remainco, on the one hand, and Spinco or RMT Partner, on the other hand, will cause members of the Remainco Group, and the Spinco Group, respectively, not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than as provided in this Section 15.

Section 16. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Company and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 17. General Provisions.

Section 17.01 Complete Agreement; Construction. Except as otherwise expressly noted herein with respect to the Employee Matters Agreement, this Agreement, including the exhibits, shall constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and shall

25

supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any exhibit hereto, the exhibit shall prevail. In the event and to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other agreements relating to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, on the other hand, with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 17.02 Other Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other agreements relating to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 17.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in more than one counterpart, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each of the Parties.

Section 17.04 Survival of Agreements. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Spinco Distribution and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.

Section 17.05 Notices. Notices, requests, instructions or other documents to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly delivered, given and received, (a) on the date of transmission if sent via email (provided, however, that notice given by email shall not be effective unless either (i) a duplicate copy of such email notice is promptly given by one of the other methods described in this Section 17.05 or (ii) the receiving party delivers a written confirmation of receipt of such notice either by email or any other method described in this Section 17.05 (excluding “out of office” or other automated replies)), (b) when delivered, if delivered personally to the intended recipient, and (c) one Business Day later, if sent by overnight delivery via a national courier service (providing proof of delivery), and in each case, addressed to a Party at the address for such Party set forth on a schedule to be delivered by each Party to the address set forth below (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 17.05):

Section 17.06 Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any consent required or permitted to be given by any Party to any other Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such consent and shall be effective only against such Party (and the members of its Group).

Section 17.07 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto signed by each of the Parties.

Section 17.08 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation shall be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and any attempt to assign any rights, interests or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void; except, that a Party may assign this Agreement or any or all of the rights, interests and obligations hereunder in connection with a merger, reorganization or consolidation transaction in which such Party is a constituent party but not the surviving entity or the sale by such Party of all or substantially all of its assets; provided that the surviving entity of such merger, reorganization or consolidation transaction or the transferee of such assets shall assume all the obligations of the relevant Party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement in writing, reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “Party” hereto; provided, however, that in the case of each of the preceding clauses, no assignment permitted by this Section 17.08 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement, unless agreed to in writing by the non-assigning Party.”

Section 17.09 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. As of the Effective Time, this Agreement shall be binding on RMT Partner and RMT Partner shall be subject to the obligations and restrictions imposed on Spinco hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, any restrictions applicable to Spinco shall apply to RMT Partner mutatis mutandis.

Section 17.10 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon termination of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Spinco Distribution. Except for a termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement may not be terminated except as set forth in the Merger Agreement. After the Spinco Distribution, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of Remainco and Spinco. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, no Party (or any of its directors, officers, members or managers) shall have any liability or further obligation to any other Party by reason of this Agreement.

Section 17.11 Payment Terms.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 4 or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, to another Party (and/or a member of such Party’s respective Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within forty-five (45) days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 4 or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within thirty (30) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (in effect on the date on which such payment was due) plus 3% calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment; provided, however, in the event that LIBOR is no longer commonly accepted by market participants, then an alternative floating rate index selected by Remainco that is commonly accepted by market participants.

(c) Without the consent of the Party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by Remainco or Spinco under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in U.S. dollars shall be converted into U.S. dollars by using the Bloomberg fixing rate at 5:00 pm New York City Time on the day before the date the payment is required to be made or, as applicable, on which an invoice is submitted (provided, however, that with regard to any payments hereunder made for payments made to third parties, the date shall be the date before the relevant payment was made to the third party) or in the Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder may be denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into U.S. dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Required Company.

Section 17.12 No Circumvention. The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any member of any such Party’s Group to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is to materially undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement (including adversely affecting the rights or ability of any Party to successfully pursue indemnification or payment pursuant to Section 4).

Section 17.13 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party on and after the Spinco Distribution Date.

Section 17.14 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of, and is only enforceable by, the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, benefit, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 17.15 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 17.16 Exhibits. The exhibits shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the exhibits constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member

28

of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any exhibit is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

Section 17.17 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 17.18 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breach this Agreement and the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any indemnifiable loss. Accordingly, from and after the Spinco Distribution, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party to this Agreement who is thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Section 17 (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 17.19 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall negotiate in good-faith to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 17.20 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of Section 4).

Section 17.21 Further Action. The Parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information, and take or refrain from taking action as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement, including the execution and delivery to the other Parties and their Affiliates and representatives of such powers of attorney or other authorizing documentation as is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with Tax Contests (or portions thereof) under the control of such other Parties in accordance with Section 10.
