ARTICLE II

DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT OR REALIZED TAX DETRIMENT

Section 2.1 Basis Adjustment Attributable to an Exchange. Pursuant to an Exchange, KRH has the right to exchange Interests for cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Corporation’s share of the basis in the Exchange Assets shall be increased by the excess, if any, of (A) the sum of (x) the Market Value of Shares, cash or other consideration transferred to KRH pursuant to the Exchange as payment for Interests, (y) the amount of payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange and (z) the amount of liabilities allocated to the Interests acquired pursuant to the Exchange, over (B) the Corporation’s proportionate share of the basis of the Exchange Assets immediately after the Exchange attributable to the Interests exchanged, determined as if each member of the Holdings II Group remains in existence as an entity for tax purposes and no member of the Holdings II Group made the election provided by Section 754 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest.

Section 2.2 Exchange Basis Schedule.

(a) Generally. Within 45 calendar days after filing its U.S. federal income Tax Return for the relevant Taxable Year, the Corporation shall deliver (or cause Holdings II to deliver) to KRH a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the actual tax basis as of the first applicable Exchange Date in such Taxable Year of the Exchange Assets, (ii) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Exchange Assets as a result of each Exchange effected in such Taxable Year, (iii) the period or periods, if any, over which such Exchange Assets are amortizable or depreciable and (iv) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable or depreciable (which, for non-amortizable assets, shall be based on the Valuation Assumptions). At the time the Corporation delivers (or causes Holdings II to deliver) the Exchange Basis Schedule to KRH, it shall (x) deliver (or cause Holdings II to deliver) to KRH schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Exchange Basis Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such Exchange Basis Schedule and (y) allow KRH reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation, Holdings II and the Advisory Firm in connection with KRH’s review of such schedule. The Exchange Basis Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless KRH, within 30 calendar days after receiving such Exchange Basis Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Exchange Basis Schedule made in good faith and in reasonable detail. If the parties, negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after such notice was delivered to the Corporation, the Corporation and KRH shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

(b) Amendments to Exchange Basis Schedule. The Exchange Basis Schedule shall be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the original Exchange Basis Schedule identified after the date of the Exchange as a result of the receipt of additional information or (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures. The Corporation shall deliver (or shall cause Holdings II to deliver) the amended Exchange Basis Schedule to KRH within 60 days of the date of the related Determination, receipt of additional information or

8

Expert’s determination, as applicable. At the time the Corporation delivers such amended Exchange Basis Schedule to KRH, it shall (x) deliver to KRH schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the amended Exchange Basis Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such amended Exchange Basis Schedule and (y) allow KRH reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation, Holdings II and the Advisory Firm in connection with KRH’s review of such schedule. The amended Exchange Basis Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless KRH, within 30 calendar days after receiving such amended Exchange Basis Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such amended Exchange Basis Schedule made in good faith and in reasonable detail. If the parties, negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after such notice was delivered to the Corporation, the Corporation and KRH shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

Section 2.3 Tax Benefit Schedule.

(a) Generally. Within 45 calendar days after filing its U.S. federal income Tax Return for the relevant Covered Taxable Year, the Corporation shall provide to KRH a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Corporation’s Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Covered Taxable Year (the “Tax Benefit Schedule”). At the time the Corporation delivers the Tax Benefit Schedule to KRH it shall (i) deliver to KRH schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Tax Benefit Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such Tax Benefit Schedule and (ii) allow KRH reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation, Holdings II and the Advisory Firm in connection with KRH’s review of such schedules. The Tax Benefit Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless KRH, within 30 calendar days after receiving such Tax Benefit Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Tax Benefit Schedule made in good faith and in reasonable detail. If the parties, negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after receipt thereof by the Corporation, the Corporation and KRH shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

(b) Amendments to Tax Benefit Schedule. A Tax Benefit Schedule for any Covered Taxable Year shall be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Tax Benefit Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the original Tax Benefit Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Covered Taxable Year after the date the Tax Benefit Schedule was provided to KRH, (iii) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Covered Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such Covered Taxable Year, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Covered Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Covered Taxable Year (provided, however, that such a change attributable to an audit of a Tax Return by an applicable Taxing Authority shall not be taken into account on an Amended Tax Benefit Schedule unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to such change) or (v) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures. The Corporation shall deliver the Amended Tax Benefit Schedule to KRH within 60 days of the date of the related Determination, receipt of additional information, filing of the amended Tax Return or application form or Expert’s determination, as applicable.

9

(an “Amended Tax Benefit Schedule”) to KRH it shall (x) deliver to KRH schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Amended Tax Benefit Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such Amended Tax Benefit Schedule and (y) allow KRH reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation, Holdings II and the Advisory Firm in connection with KRH’s review of such schedule. Such Amended Tax Benefit Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless KRH, within 30 calendar days after receiving such Amended Tax Benefit Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Amended Tax Benefit Schedule made in good faith and in reasonable detail. If the parties, negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after such notice was delivered to the Corporation, the Corporation and KRH shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

(c) Applicable Principles. The Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Covered Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the actual liability for Covered Taxes of the Corporation for such Covered Taxable Year attributable to the Basis Adjustment and Imputed Interest, determined using a “with and without” methodology. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual liability for Covered Taxes will take into account the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as Imputed Interest under the Code based upon the characterization of the Tax Benefit Payment as additional consideration payable by the Corporation for the Interests acquired in an Exchange. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Covered Tax item attributable to the Basis Adjustment and Imputed Interest (determined using such “with and without” methodology) shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Covered Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to the Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest and another portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in the order determined using such “with and without” methodology. The parties agree that (i) all Tax Benefit Payments will (A) be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments for the Corporation and (B) have the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments for the Corporation in the year of payment, and (ii) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate, with any circularity created in the current year continuing until any incremental current year benefits equal an immaterial amount.

(d) At the time of any Exchange, KRH shall conclude whether the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments can be ascertained with any reasonable certainty for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless there is a Determination to the contrary, the Corporation and KRH, on their own behalf and on behalf of each of their affiliates, agree to report and cause to be reported for all U.S. purposes, including for purposes of all Covered Taxes and U.S. financial reporting purposes, all payments made under this Agreement in a manner consistent with such conclusion.

(ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the amount of the excess Realized Tax Benefit reflected on an Amended Tax Benefit Schedule for a previous Covered Taxable Year over the Realized Tax Benefit (or, in the case of a Realized Tax Detriment, the Realized Tax Detriment (expressed as a negative number)) reflected on the Tax Benefit Schedule for such previous Covered Taxable Year (plus interest thereon calculated pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection (b)), and

The Corporation shall pay the Lump Sum Present Value within ten business days of receiving the Lump Sum Election Notice or within ten (10) business days of the resolution of a dispute undertaken pursuant to Section 3.3(d) (or such other date as may be agreed upon by KRH). The Lump Sum Present Value shall be calculated as of the date that such Lump Sum Election Notice is received by the Corporation. If the Corporation elects to pay any portion of such Lump Sum Present Value in Shares, such Shares will be fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and such Shares will be treated as Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(c) If KRH elects to receive the Lump Sum Present Value payment, and such Lump Sum Present Value payment is paid in full in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3, then the Corporation shall have no further obligations to make any further payments under Section 3.1 in respect of any Covered Taxable Year included in the present value calculation under which the Lump Sum Present Value payment was made. Differences in actual events after the date of the present value calculation from those used in the present value calculation, including, without limitation, in the assumptions, amounts of taxable income or other facts used in the present value calculation, shall not affect, or require any adjustment or reimbursement of, the Lump Sum Present Value once such amount has been paid in full.

(d) The Corporation shall, within five calendar days of a request by KRH, prepare its estimate of the Lump Sum Present Value as of the date of such request, together with reasonable supporting detail showing the basis of its calculations. In the event the Corporation’s estimate of the Lump Sum Present Value does not equal KRH’s estimate set forth in the Lump Sum Election Notice, procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.3(a) shall apply.

12

(e) With respect to a Lump Sum Payment under this Section 3.3, the Corporation shall not release any information to the public at any time until disclosure of such Lump Sum Payment is required by the Exchange Act.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all matters concerning Covered Taxes of the Corporation, including without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Covered Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify KRH of, and keep KRH reasonably informed with respect to, and KRH shall have the right to participate in and monitor (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to control) the portion of any audit of the Corporation by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect KRH’s rights under this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Reconciliation.

(a) In the event that the Corporation and KRH are unable to resolve a disagreement within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (a “Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm, a valuation firm, or a law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporation or KRH or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) days of the last day of the relevant period otherwise designated in this Agreement for the resolution of a disagreement, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of

16

Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto, the Lump Sum Present Value calculation or the Early Termination Notice within 30 calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement is due or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, such payment shall be made on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution.

(b) The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of the Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation, except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and KRH shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless KRH has a prevailing position that is more than 10% of the payment at issue, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse KRH for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.2 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be binding on the Corporation and KRH and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.3 Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, and shall promptly remit such withheld amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to KRH. Each party will cooperate to minimize withholding obligations, if any, with respect to payments required hereunder.

Section 7.4 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Any Proceeding must be brought against any of the parties in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County or, if the Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in another court of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, or in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such Proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any Proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably (i) waives any objection which such party may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Proceeding.

Section 7.5 Amendments. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it is (i) in writing and (ii) signed by the Corporation and KRH.

17

Section 7.6 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.8 Successors’ Assignment.

(a) KRH may not assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided, however,

(i) that, to the extent Interests are effectively transferred in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement and any other agreements KRH may have entered into with respect thereto, KRH may assign to the transferee of such Interests KRH’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Interests, as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, agreeing to undertake all the rights, interests, entitlements and obligations of KRH under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder,

(ii) that, once an Exchange has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to KRH pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange may be assigned to any Person or Persons, as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation,

(iii) that KRH may pledge some or all of its rights, interests or entitlements under this Agreement to any U.S. money center bank in connection with a bona fide loan or other indebtedness and

(iv) that (A) KRH or its permitted assignee may assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests hereunder to any Person and (B) the Corporation hereby agrees, at KRH’s (or, in the case of an assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition by a permitted assignee, at such permitted assignee’s) expense, to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish any such assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of rights and interests hereunder so long as the Corporation’s rights under this Agreement are not thereby materially altered, amended, diminished or otherwise impaired.

18

(b) The Corporation may not assign any of its rights, interests or entitlements under this Agreement without the consent of KRH, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent KRH transfers an interest to a member of KRH, such member shall have all rights under this Agreement and the requirement to execute and deliver a joinder pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not be construed as requiring such execution and delivery prior to an assignment becoming effective. At the time of such assignment and at the time of any Tax Benefit Payment, KRH and the member shall determine the percentage of each Tax Benefit Payment to be made by the Corporation to such member.

(d) Subject to subsections (a) and (b), this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns including any acquirer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

Section 7.9 Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group. If the Corporation becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

Section 7.10 Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and all available remedies shall be cumulative.

Section 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 7.12 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 7.13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to applicable principles of conflict of laws.
