Section 2.01. Consideration.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay or cause an Affiliate to pay to HLIC or its designee an aggregate amount equal to (i) One Hundred Seventeen Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($117,500,000) (the “Baseline Amount”) less (ii) the aggregate amount of the Unvested Awards (as updated on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.09(c)) less (iii) the Accrued Bonus Amount (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.01(b).

(b) If Aggregate Closing Asset Value is less than 97.5 percent (97.5%) of Aggregate Opening Asset Value, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by reducing the Baseline Amount by an amount (so long as amount is a positive number) derived as follows: (i) subtract from one a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Closing Asset Value, and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Opening Asset Value; (ii) multiply the resulting difference in clause (i) by 100; (iii) multiply the resulting product in clause (ii) by Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); and (iv) subtract Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) from the resulting product in clause (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Baseline Amount, in any event, shall not be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) by an amount to exceed Nineteen Million Dollars ($19,000,000). The Baseline Amount shall not be reduced if, on the Closing Date, Aggregate Closing Asset Value is greater than or equal to 97.5 percent (97.5%) of Aggregate Opening Asset Value. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation described in this Section 2.01(b) can never result in a Baseline Amount greater than One Hundred Seventeen Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($117,500,000).

(c) “Aggregate Closing Asset Value” means an amount equal to Aggregate Opening Asset Value reduced by a percentage equal to the aggregate of the Relative Contract Values of Administered Contracts (by case) on the date hereof that have experienced a Withdrawal and increased by the New Business Amount provided, that, for purposes of such definition, in the event a given Administered Contract (by case) experiences only a partial Withdrawal, then (i) the Relative Contract Values included in such reduction with respect to such partial Withdrawal shall be prorated to reflect only that portion of such Administered Contract (by case) subject to such partial Withdrawal, (ii) any such proration shall be determined by reference to the Aggregate Asset Value attributable to such Administered Contract (by case) and such partial Withdrawal as of the time of such partial Withdrawal, (iii) the time of such partial Withdrawal shall be deemed to be the month end closest to the date effected or, in the event not effected by the Closing Date, the month end on or prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) the Relative Contract Value with respect to such Administered Contract (by case) shall be reduced for future application of this definition by the amount included in the above reduction with respect to such partial Withdrawal.

(d) Sellers, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of any and all Transfer Taxes and Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith in the preparation of any applicable Tax Returns or other Tax filings or reports.

(e) At Closing, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow that portion of the Purchase Price, if any, that would not have been paid to Sellers as a result of the adjustments described in Section 2.01(b) if any Pending Withdrawal had been effected on or before the Closing Date (and therefore constituted a Withdrawal). Such escrow shall be with a third party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser and pursuant to an escrow agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser that is designed to effect this Section 2.01(e) and is executed and delivered at Closing with Sellers, Purchaser and such escrow agent as a party. Promptly following the date that is 180 days following the Closing Date (the “Pending Withdrawal Date”), in the event any amounts were deposited into escrow pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the parties shall recalculate the Purchase Price by including as a Withdrawal any Pending Withdrawal that has not been rescinded in writing on or before the Pending Withdrawal Date by the Contractholder(s) that initiated such Pending Withdrawal. Any such recalculation shall be limited to the effect of such Pending Withdrawal treatment. Promptly following any such recalculation, Sellers and Purchaser shall instruct the escrow agent to release to Purchaser the amount, if any, of any reduction in the Purchase Price as a result of such recalculation and to release any remaining amounts in the escrow to Sellers.

(f) Once the Bank Withdrawal has been effected, Sellers and Purchaser shall amend Schedule 1.01(i) to delete the Aggregate Asset Values associated with the Bank Withdrawal from the Opening Asset Values and recalculate and restate the resulting Relative Contract Values as a result thereof as of October 31, 2011.

Section 2.02. Acquisition of Transferred Assets and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date and as of the Effective Time each Seller shall sell, assign and transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliate (as contemplated by Section 2.05) all of its right, title and interest in, and cause each of its Affiliates to sell, assign and transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliate (as contemplated by Section 2.05) all of its right, title and interest in, the Transferred Assets and the Assigned and Assumed Contracts, and Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to the Transfer Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the delivery of the Business Books and Records is subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement and (ii) each Seller shall be entitled to keep the originals of all Business Books and Records from and after the Effective Time (the delivery of Business Books and Records involving the delivery of copies).

Section 2.03. Payments on Closing Date. Subject to Section 2.01(e), at the Closing, (a) Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to HLIC or its designee an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price and (b) Sellers shall pay to Purchaser the Administration Fee that would otherwise be due under the Administrative Services Agreement with respect to the month in which Closing occurs, but calculated by Sellers based upon Sellers’ results of the Business for the second calendar month prior to Closing rather than the immediately preceding month (in lieu of any other Administration Fee with respect to the month in which Closing occurs). All cash payments required under this Section 2.03 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to such account as may be designated by HLIC (with respect to payments to HLIC) or to Purchaser (with respect to payments to Purchaser) at least five Business Days prior to the Closing.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Comparable Position” is defined as a position that, as of the date the position is offered, carries with it, for a period of 12 months immediately following the Effective Hire Date, Compensation equal to or greater than the Compensation offered by the previous position held by the Subject Employee with such Seller or its Affiliate; and with the same or similar duties of the previous position held by the Subject Employee with such Seller or its Affiliate; and which is located within a 50-mile radius of the previous position’s location. For the purposes of this Section, “Compensation” means a base salary equal to or greater than the Subject Employee’s base salary immediately prior to the Effective Hire Date plus an amount equal to or greater than 100% of the Subject Employee’s target bonus (the annual bonus determined as a percentage of annual base salary, based on the target bonus funding percentage established under the applicable bonus plan, policy or program for the calendar year in which the Effective Hire Date occurs).

(c) Purchaser shall make to each of the Transferred Employees set forth on Schedule 5.09(c) cash payments on the dates and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 5.09(c) (as updated in the manner described below), representing the value of unvested restricted stock units held by the Transferred Employees on the date of this Agreement and as updated through the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Unvested Awards”), provided that either (i) the Transferred Employee is employed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the relevant vesting date, or (ii), with respect to Unvested Awards with vesting dates on or prior to March 1, 2012, the Transferred Employee’s employment was terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates prior to the relevant vesting date for a reason other than for cause, and provided, further, that no payment will be required in any case to be made by Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Awards that vest on or prior to the Closing Date. In the event Purchaser is not obligated to make a scheduled cash payment to a Transferred Employee pursuant to this Section 5.09(c) because such Transferred Employee is not employed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the relevant vesting date (and, in the case of a Transferred Employee whose employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates terminates on or before the relevant vesting date, because such termination was either voluntary or for cause), Purchaser shall return such amounts to Sellers within 15 days of the relevant payment date. Sellers shall update Schedule 5.09(c) following the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the

Closing Date so that such schedule reflects the outstanding amounts to be paid based on the closing price of the common stock of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. on such date.

(d) For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Transferred Employees with each of medical (other than retiree medical), dental, life and disability insurance, flexible spending account and Code section 401(k) plan benefits pursuant to plans, agreements and arrangements of Purchaser and its Affiliates (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”) each of which is substantially comparable to the benefits provided to the Transferred Employees under equivalent benefit plans of Sellers and their Affiliates immediately prior to the date hereof but shall be obligated only to provide Purchaser Benefit Plans that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to employee benefits provided by Sellers and their Affiliates. Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide or cause to be provided to the Transferred Employees a defined benefit pension, postretirement medical, postretirement life, or excess savings or pension plans and the absence of such plans shall not be considered when determining whether Purchaser has met its obligation to provide employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate. The aggregate cost to a Transferred Employee to participate in the Purchaser Benefit Plans prior to the first renewal of such plans after the Closing Date shall not be greater than the aggregate cost to the Transferred Employee to participate in the comparable plans offered by such Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the date hereof. For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide to each Transferred Employee a 1.5% floor contribution plus a matching contribution of 50% on the first 6% of employee deferrals to the Code section 401(k) plan included in the Purchaser Benefit Plans. For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall also make an enhanced contribution on behalf of each Transferred Employee to the Code section 401(k) plan included in the Purchaser Benefit Plans ranging from 2.5% to 7.75% below and 3.75% to 11.625% above the Social Security wage base of total compensation based on the participant’s age, in accordance with the schedule contained in The Hartford Retirement Plan for U.S. Employees subject to annual discrimination testing to ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements. Purchaser shall make commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods under the Purchaser Benefit Plans in which Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods were not or would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all coinsurance, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and coinsurance limitations under the Purchaser Benefit Plans in which they participate from and after the Closing Date, subject to such Transferred Employee’s provision of relevant information or documentation confirming the amount of such co-insurance, deductibles and similar expenses. Purchaser shall credit

each Transferred Employee with the service of such Transferred Employee with Seller or its Affiliates up to the Effective Hire Date, to the extent such service is recorded in such Seller’s or its Affiliates’ books as of the Closing Date, to the same extent as if such service had been performed for Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for purposes of determining such Transferred Employee’s eligibility for, vesting in, and entitlements under all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements, including but not limited to vacation and sick days, severance and 401(k) plans, as applicable. Transferred Employees shall be eligible for long term incentive awards, but service time with such Seller or its Affiliates shall not be applied to the Transferred Employee’s eligibility or vesting under any long term incentive plan provided by Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(e) During the 12 months immediately following the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to earn vacation, sick and paid time off days that such Transferred Employee would have been eligible to earn under plans of Sellers and its Affiliates during the calendar year in which the Closing takes place, less any such paid time off days that such Transferred Employee used prior to the Effective Hire Date or was paid for pursuant to this Section 5.09(e). Such vacation, sick and paid time off days shall accrue during such 12 month period at the same rate as they would have accrued under plans of Sellers and its Affiliates during the calendar year in which the Closing takes place. On the Closing Date, Sellers shall pay in cash to all Transferred Employees all accrued but unused vacation, sick leave and paid time off benefits, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not assume, and Sellers will be solely responsible for, any and all such Liabilities. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall credit all Transferred Employees with unpaid time off equal to the number of days (full and partial) for which Transferred Employees were paid pursuant to the preceding sentence. All such unpaid time off credits must be used in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and will be forfeited on the last day of such year. For all purposes other than the foregoing, including but not limited to benefits, such days shall be treated as paid time off.

(f) For a period of 12 months immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide to the Transferred Employees the severance benefits set forth on Schedule 5.09(f).

(i) The amount of each Transferred Employee’s annual incentive bonus through the Closing Date shall be accrued based on the target bonus established by the applicable Seller or Affiliate of Sellers that employed such Transferred Employee under the applicable bonus plan, policy or program for the calendar year in which the Effective Hire Date occurs (net of any amounts previously paid by Seller pursuant to (v) below, the “Accrued Bonus Amount”). During the 12-month comparability period immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall accrue each Transferred Employee’s annual incentive bonus at the bonus target set forth in such Transferred Employee’s offer letter (“Purchaser’s Accrued Bonus Amount”).

(ii) For the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, provided that the Transferred Employee has not voluntarily terminated his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates or been terminated for cause prior to the applicable bonus payout date, Purchaser shall pay each Transferred Employee an annual

bonus equal to the sum of such Transferred Employee’s Accrued Bonus Amount and the Purchaser’s Accrued Bonus Amount for the number of days between the Closing Date and the end of the calendar year.

(iii) For the calendar year after the year in which the Closing Date occurs, provided that the Transferred Employee has not voluntarily terminated his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates or been terminated for cause prior to the applicable bonus payout date, Purchaser shall pay each Transferred Employee an annual bonus equal to the sum of the Purchaser’s Accrued Bonus Amount for the period of time that the calendar year fell within the comparability period plus such additional amount that Purchaser in its discretion deems appropriate for the period of the calendar year after the end of the comparability period.

(iv) If a Transferred Employee voluntarily terminates his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates or is terminated for cause prior to a bonus payout date, the Transferred Employee will not be eligible to receive a bonus award on that bonus payout date. If a Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than cause prior to a bonus payout date for a calendar year that includes part of the comparability period, the Transferred Employee’s bonus award will be prorated for the period of time during the calendar year that the Transferred Employee remained an employee of Purchaser or its Affiliates, except if the involuntary termination occurs in the same calendar year as the Closing Date, in which case the Transferred Employee’s bonus award will be prorated for the period of time during the calendar year that the Transferred Employee remained an employee of such Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand.

(v) In the event the Closing occurs after March 15, 2012, on March 15, 2012, such Seller or its Affiliates shall pay each Transferred Employee a bonus for calendar year 2011 to be determined by such Seller in its discretion under the terms of such Seller’s or its Affiliate’s applicable bonus plans. If the Closing occurs between March 16, 2012, and December 31, 2012, Sections 5.09(f)(i), (ii) and (iii) above will apply to the Transferred Employees’ annual incentive bonuses to be paid in 2013 and 2014 for calendar years 2012 and 2013, respectively.

(g) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any of the Ancillary Agreements:

(i) Such Seller shall assume sole liability for all salary, commissions and other compensation and benefits of any kind due any Subject Employee on account of employment by such Seller or its Affiliates before the Effective Hire Date;

(ii) Purchaser shall assume sole liability for all salary, commissions and other compensation and benefits of any kind earned on and after the Effective Hire Date by any Transferred Employee;

(iii) Such Seller shall be solely responsible for all severance obligations under Seller’s severance plans to Subject Employees who do not timely accept an offer of a Comparable Position made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.09(a);

(iv) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all severance obligations to Subject Employees who are not offered a Comparable Position by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.09(a) and shall reimburse such Seller or its Affiliates for any notice and severance pay or benefits provided by such Seller or its Affiliates to such Subject Employee;

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall assume any obligations under, or Liabilities with respect to, or receive any right or interest in any trust relating to, any assets of, or any insurance, administration or other contracts pertaining to any of Seller’s Benefit Plans;

(vi) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, such Seller shall be solely responsible for all claims, suits, actions or litigation arising from or in connection with the employment of any Transferred Employee prior to the Effective Hire Date; and

(vii) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all claims, suits, actions or litigation arising from or in connection with the employment of any Transferred Employee on or after the Effective Hire Date or the offer of employment by Purchaser to any Subject Employee, other than as set forth above in Section 5.09(g)(iii).

(h) Except as otherwise provided in clauses (a) – (f) of this Section 5.09, nothing herein is intended to limit the right of Purchaser (x) to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee at any time, (y) to change or terminate any incentive compensation or employee benefit plan or arrangement at any time and in any manner or (z) to change or modify the terms or conditions of employment for any of their employees.

(i) Purchaser shall be responsible for providing the continuation of group health coverage required under section 4980B(f) of the Code to any Transferred Employees (and such Transferred Employees’ qualified beneficiaries) whose “qualifying event” within the meaning of section 4980B(f) of the Code occurs after the Closing Date. Sellers shall be responsible for providing the continuation of group health coverage required under section 4980B(f) of the Code to any Subject Employees or former employees of any Seller or its, or their, Affiliates who are not Transferred Employees (and such Subject Employees’ or former employees’ qualified beneficiaries) whose “qualifying event” within the meaning of section 4980B(f) of the Code occurs before, on or after the Closing Date.

(j) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.09, this Section 5.09 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.09, expressed or implied, is intended to confer

upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.09 and no provision of this Section 5.09 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any Subject Employee in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or service or any other matter.

Section 5.10. Subsequently Identified Contracts.

(a) If, after the date hereof, Sellers identify any BOLI/COLI Policies issued or underwritten at the direction of HLPP (or any related supplements, endorsements, enhancement letters, riders, applications, enrollment forms, certificates and ancillary agreements in connection therewith) that were issued prior to and are in- force as of the date hereof but were not set forth on Schedule 1.01(c), Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing of such BOLI/COLI Policies and Purchaser will have the option to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to include such BOLI/COLI Policy as an Administered Contract, and upon any such consent Schedule 1.01(c) will be deemed to have been revised to include such accepted Contracts or BOLI/COLI Policies. At Closing, the parties hereto shall update Schedule 1.01(c) for items of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of BOLI/COLI Contracts.

(b) If, after the date hereof, Sellers identify any GAC Agreements (or any related supplements, endorsements, enhancement letters, riders, applications, enrollment forms, certificates and ancillary agreements in connection therewith) that were issued prior to and are in-force as of the date hereof but were not set forth on Schedule 1.01(e), Sellers shall notify Purchaser of such GAC Agreements and Purchaser will have the option to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to include such GAC Agreements as an Administered Contract, and upon any such consent Schedule 1.01(e) will be deemed to have been revised to include such GAC Agreements. At Closing, the parties hereto shall update Schedule 1.01(e) for items of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of GAC Agreements.

(c) If, after the date hereof, Sellers identify any HNW Policies (or any related supplements, endorsements, enhancement letters, riders, applications, enrollment forms, certificates and ancillary agreements in connection therewith) that were issued prior to and are in-force as of the date hereof but were not set forth on Schedule 1.01(g), Sellers shall notify Purchaser of such HNW Policies and Purchaser will have the option to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to include such HNW Policies as an Administered Contract, and upon any such consent Schedule 1.01(g) will be deemed to have been revised to include such HNW Policies. At Closing, the parties hereto shall update Schedule 1.01(g) for items of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of HNW Contracts.

Section 5.11. Investment Management.

Subject to Applicable Law, until the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, encourage any Contractholder to move its assets out of any portfolio managed by HIMCO, including the division known as the “HIMCO Division”.

Section 5.12. Certain Term Sheet and Schedules to Exhibits

Purchaser and Sellers shall each use their reasonable best efforts and shall cooperate with each other and negotiate in good faith and consistent with the intent of the parties set forth below to finalize, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, (a) what is designated as “Schedule F” to the Administrative Services Agreement, (b) what is designated as “Schedule 2.01” to the Transition Services Agreement, (c) the General Account COLI Services Agreement, (d) the Woodbury/UIT Services Agreement and (e) any modifications with respect to the Broker Dealer Agreement necessary for the agreement to comply with Applicable Law. The intent of the parties in finalizing what is designated as “Schedule F” to the Administrative Services Agreement would be to include on such schedule a fair and accurate description of those services historically conducted in connection with the Business (whether by the Subject Employees or otherwise) in the same scope as historically conducted. The intent of the parties in finalizing what is designated as “Schedule 2.01” to the Transition Services Agreement would be (i) to move the services described in the Woodbury/UIT Services Agreement Term Sheet to the Woodbury/UIT Services Agreement, (ii) populate the “Duration” column with Purchaser’s requested duration for services for which Purchaser desires a shorter duration than the duration of the Transition Services Agreement and (iii) populate the “Annual Cost” column, upon specific request by Purchaser or Sellers, with an amount intended to reflect the Costs (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) of the Services. The intent of the parties in completing each of the General Account COLI Services Agreement and the Woodbury/UIT Services Agreement is reflected in the respective term sheets.

(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 8.04(a), (i) any Seller Entity may, subject to Section 8.04(c), acquire (whether by way of merger or stock or asset acquisition or otherwise) or own any Person that engages in the Restricted Business, (ii) nothing in this Agreement precludes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ceded Reinsurance Agreements or the Administrative Services Agreement (including Sellers’ rights to engage in the business of being an insurer with respect to the Retained Business and exercising rights with respect to the Administered Contracts so long as such activity is not inconsistent with the Administrative Services Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (excluding this Section 8.04)) and (iii) no Seller Entity (including any Seller) shall be bound by or subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 8.04 following any direct or indirect sale of such Seller Entity (whether as an entity or as a group, whether by way of merger or stock or asset acquisition, spin-off or otherwise, including as a result of an indirect change of control) to any Person that is not, as of the date of such sale, an Affiliate of Sellers’ ultimate parent company as of the Closing Date.

(c) If, during the period of 18 months following the Closing Date, any Seller Entity acquires (whether by way of merger or stock or asset acquisition or otherwise), directly or indirectly, any Person or business (an “Acquired Business”) and such Acquired Business derived more than 25% of its net earnings for its most recent fiscal year from the Restricted Business in the Applicable Territory, then Sellers shall, or shall cause the relevant Seller Entity to, sell, spin off or otherwise divest itself (or enter into an agreement to sell, spin off or otherwise divest itself) of the portion of the division, unit or Person related to the Acquired Business that engages in the Restricted Business within 12 months of the closing of the acquisition of such Acquired Business; provided. however, that Sellers shall provide notice to Purchaser of such acquisition promptly after closing and shall permit Purchaser the opportunity to participate in the process of such divestiture; provided, further, that the foregoing obligation to sell, spin off or otherwise divest an Acquired Business shall not apply to any acquisitions where the purchase price of the Acquired Business is equal to or greater than $750,000,000.

Section 8.05. Blue Pencil; Remedies.

(a) The parties recognize that the laws and public policies of the various States of the United States of America may differ as to the validity and enforceability of covenants similar to those set forth in Sections 8.03 and 8.04. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform to such laws or policies) of any provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04 will not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of the provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04. Accordingly, if at the time of enforcement of any provision of Sections 8.03 and 8.04, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or geographical area, and that such court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and geographical area permitted by Applicable Law.

(b) Each party expressly acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 8.03 and 8.04, including the geographic scope and duration of such covenants, are necessary in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests and other legitimate business interests of Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, and their respective Affiliates, that, but for these covenants, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and that any violation thereof could result in irreparable injury to Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, and their respective Affiliates that would not be readily ascertainable or compensable in terms of money, and therefore each party and its Affiliates will be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages, which rights will be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled. Each party further agrees that if it is determined that it has intentionally in bad faith breached the terms of Section 8.03 or Section 8.04, the non-breaching party and its Affiliates will be entitled to recover from the breaching party all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of its attempts to redress such breach or to enforce its rights and protect its legitimate interests. The provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04 constitute independent covenants that will not be affected by the performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 8.06. Confidentiality.

(a) Sellers shall maintain the confidentiality of, and shall cause their Affiliates and Representatives to maintain the confidentiality of, all information obtained by Sellers or their Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 11.03, and all originals of Business Books and Records retained by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.02 (collectively, “Purchaser Confidential Information”), using procedures no less rigorous than those used to protect and preserve the confidentiality of their own similar proprietary information. The term “Purchaser Confidential Information” does not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and

known by the public other than by way of a wrongful disclosure by Sellers, their Affiliates or their Representatives or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Sellers, their Affiliates or their Representatives, provided that to Sellers’ and its Affiliates’ knowledge such source is not and was not prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal, fiduciary or other obligation. In no event may Sellers or their Affiliates use less than a reasonable degree of care to protect and preserve the Purchaser Confidential Information, and Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, without Purchaser’s prior written consent: (A) transfer or disclose any Purchaser Confidential Information to any third party, other than Representatives who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or in connection with the Business or as required under Applicable Law; (B) use any of the Purchaser Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or in connection with the Business or as required under Applicable Law; or (C) take any other action with respect to the Purchaser Confidential Information inconsistent with the confidential and proprietary nature of such information. Sellers hereby assume full responsibility for any breach of this Section 8.06(a) by any of their or their Affiliates’ Representatives. If Sellers or their Affiliates are requested or required to disclose any of the Purchaser Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, Sellers shall, if lawfully permitted to do so, provide prompt notice of such Applicable Law to Purchaser so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.06(a). If Purchaser chooses not to seek, or is not successful in obtaining, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and Sellers are, in the opinion of their counsel, compelled to disclose such Purchaser Confidential Information under pain of liability for contempt of court or other censure or liability, or if Purchaser waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.06(a) in writing, Sellers may disclose, without liability hereunder, such Purchaser Confidential Information in accordance with, but solely to the extent that such disclosure is, in the opinion of its counsel, necessary to comply with, Applicable Law or as otherwise contemplated by such waiver.

(b) Purchaser shall maintain the confidentiality of, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to maintain the confidentiality of, all information obtained by Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.02, Section 8.01(b) or Section 11.03 (collectively, “Seller Confidential Information”), using procedures no less rigorous than those used to protect and preserve the confidentiality of their own similar proprietary information. The term “Seller Confidential Information” does not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public other than by way of a wrongful disclosure by Purchaser, its Affiliates or their Representatives or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser, its Affiliates or its Representatives, provided that to Purchasers’ and its Affiliates’ knowledge, such source is not and was not prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal, fiduciary or other obligation. In no event may Purchaser or its Affiliates use less than a reasonable degree of care to protect and preserve the Seller Confidential Information, and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without Sellers’ prior written consent:

(A) transfer or disclose any Seller Confidential Information to any third party, other than Representatives who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or in connection with the Business or as required under Applicable Law; (B) use any of the Seller Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of Purchasers’ or its Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or in connection with the Business or as required under Applicable Law; or (C) take any other action with respect to the Seller Confidential Information inconsistent with the confidential and proprietary nature of such information. Purchaser hereby assumes full responsibility for any breach of this Section 8.06(b) by any of its or its Affiliates’ Representatives. If Purchaser or its Affiliates are requested or required to disclose any of the Seller Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, Purchaser shall, if lawfully permitted to do so, provide prompt notice of such Applicable Law to Seller so that Sellers may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.06(b). If Sellers choose not to seek, or are not successful in obtaining, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and Purchaser is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose such Seller Confidential Information under pain of liability for contempt of court or other censure or liability, or if Sellers waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.06(b) in writing, Purchaser may disclose, without liability hereunder, such Seller Confidential Information in accordance with, but solely to the extent that such disclosure is, in the opinion of its counsel, necessary to comply with, Applicable Law or as otherwise contemplated by such waiver.

(C) no Purchaser Indemnified Party will have the right to bring a claim for indemnity under clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 10.01(a) or under clauses (i) or (iii) of Section 11.01(a) to the extent such claim relates to an actual or alleged Product Tax Failure, including with respect to any breach or non-fulfillment of the covenants and agreements of Sellers contained in this Agreement relating to any actual or alleged Product Tax Failure; and

(D) the limitations on Sellers’ obligations to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties set forth in the preceding subclauses (A) through (C) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any claim involving fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Sellers or their Affiliates.

Sellers’ obligations under this Article X and Article XI are in addition to their respective obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement, provided that in no event shall the Purchaser Indemnified Parties be entitled to multiple recoveries for the same Loss.

(b) From and after the Closing, and subject to the limitations set forth in Article IX and this Article X, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and its directors, officers and employees, Representatives and Affiliates and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(c) Except for any indemnification pursuant to Section 11.01 (b), payment of any return of premium or the costs and expenses to adjust the terms of any Administered Contract, including the increase of any benefits thereunder, resulting from or arising out of any actual or alleged Product Tax Failure shall not be the responsibility of Purchaser or its Affiliates (except for the responsibility to administer such amounts under the Ancillary Agreements), and unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law, such return of premium or the cost or expense of adjusting the terms of such Administered Contract shall be paid first out of the Separate Accounts with respect to which such affected Administered Contract participates, and, in the event such amounts are insufficient, then from the General Account.

Section 10.02. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Subject to Section 10.02(d), a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide written notice to the party from which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or demand that it may have pursuant to this Article X or Article XI (a “Claim Notice”) as promptly as practicable after the Indemnified Party learns of such claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such Claim Notice shall (i) to the extent reasonably practicable contain a summary of the

material facts underlying or related to such claim or demand then known by the Indemnified Party, including a reference to sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such claim or demand; (ii) attach copies of material written evidence thereof received from a third party to the date of such notice to the extent reasonably appropriate to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the claim or demand; and (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, set forth the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or reasonably may be sustained by an Indemnified Party. From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in good faith to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the claim and shall deliver copies of all relevant notices and documents (including court or similar papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim or demand to the extent reasonably appropriate.

(b) (i) With respect to any Action (including any proposed or threatened claim, adjustment, or audit by a Tax Authority) instituted by a Person other than a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party against the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to indemnify hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so elects, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by any Governmental Entity, any court or arbitral proceedings or regulatory inquiry or investigation) from receipt of the Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it elects to defend such Third Party Claim, it shall have the right to so defend, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense thereof, including the opportunity to participate in any discussions or correspondence with any Governmental Entity, and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party controls the defense. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its own expense unless the Indemnified Party has assumed such defense in compliance with Section 10.02(b)(ii), in which case all such expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party after such notice in connection with such defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. All of the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith in the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include (A) the controlling party using its reasonable best efforts to take all comments and proposals made by the non-controlling party into account in connection with all actions or non-actions, as the case may be, with respect to any matters covered by this Section 10.02, (B) the retention and, upon the Indemnifying Party’s request, the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and (C) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such party. All out-of- pocket costs incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party in connection with responding to, complying with or satisfying the Indemnified Party’s requests for cooperation shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) In the event that (x) the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (y) the Indemnifying Party, after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, receives a written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has failed to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner and fails to correct any such failure within 30 Business Days following receipt of such notice, or (z) the Indemnified Party has available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are materially inconsistent with one or more of those that are available to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for such Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by the sole fact that it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iii) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of judgment, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) there is no statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, (B) there is no imposition of a consent order, decree or injunction that would restrict the future activity of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (C) the sole relief provided by the Indemnified Party is monetary damages and a full, unconditional and complete release is provided by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates.

(c) After the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that the indemnities provided under Sections 10.01(a)(i), 10.01(b)(i), 11.01(a)(iii) and 11.01(a)(iv) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Article IX except as to any item as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously delivered a Claim Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 10.02(a).

(d) Subject to Section 8.05(b) and the non-monetary remedies described in Section 13.05(b) and to the terms and provisions of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Closing, the indemnities provided in Sections 10.01(a), 10.01(b), 11.01(a) and 11.01(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party at law or equity for breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in the certificates to

be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(c) and 7.01(c); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any party from seeking or obtaining any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any claim involving fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall (i) be net of any proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Losses, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, and the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such recovery that may be available to it; (ii) be reduced to take account of any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising directly from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses; and (iii) be increased to take into account any Tax detriment actually incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence of any such Losses or from the receipt of the indemnification payment. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party for a Loss pursuant to this Article X or Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts for a reasonable period to effect recovery from insurers or other third parties with respect to such Loss and, to the extent the Indemnified Party actually receives an amount in recovery from such insurers or third party attributable to such paid Loss (net of any appropriate premiums or cost of recovery), shall promptly remit such net amount to the Indemnifying Party.

(f) The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the consideration under Section 2.01 unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(g) The Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be intended third party beneficiaries of the indemnification obligations of Purchaser, on one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, respectively, in this Article X or Article XI.

(h) The Indemnified Party shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon and after becoming aware of any facts, matters, failures or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party will not be required to take any action or step that is reasonably likely to result in a breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

(i) If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses and the Indemnified Party has the right to recover all or a part of such Losses from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such third party for such Losses as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party up to the amount of such indemnification payment.

(j) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.03, Sellers may take appropriate actions to remediate or reduce Losses (including through the defense of claims brought by Contractholders’) for which Sellers are liable and Sellers shall have the right to assert all available defenses against a Contractholder with respect to any claim brought against Sellers by a Contractholder or with respect to an Administered Contract.

(k) To the extent a Purchaser Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification that could be brought under Sections 11.01(a)(ii) and 11.01(a)(iv), such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring a claim for indemnity under both such sections; provided, that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may not recover twice for the same Loss.

ARTICLE XI.

TAX MATTERS

Section 11.01. Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, each Seller shall, severally and not jointly, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of all Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(i) (A) Taxes imposed on or with respect to (x) any Seller or its Affiliates or (y) the assets of any Seller or its Affiliates, including all Taxes imposed on Seller or its Affiliates relating to or resulting from the operations or activities of the Retained Business or the income or gain from the Excluded Assets; (B) all Taxes for which any Seller or its Affiliates may be liable as a transferee or successor, by contract, by Applicable Law or otherwise; (C) Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Administered Contracts, and the operation and activities of the Business for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; or (D) any breach or non-performance by Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements that relate to any Tax matter, in each of the cases of the preceding clauses (A) through (D), other than any Losses to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to Purchaser Product Tax Liabilities; provided that, Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this clause (i) shall not include lost profits (including lost profits that would otherwise be taken into account in determining Losses in respect of diminution of value) or similar damages;

(ii) (A) any actual or alleged failure of any Administered Contract, at any time on or after the issuance of such Administered Contract, to comply with any Tax law with which such Administered Contract was (x) designed to comply, (y) purported by Sellers or their Affiliates to comply or (z) purported by any Producer at any time on or prior to the Effective Time or at any time thereafter at the express direction of Sellers or their Affiliates to comply, including any such failures resulting from, relating to, or arising out of the design, structure or terms of such Administered

Contract, the absence of any contractual provision the inclusion of which is necessary for such Administered Contract to comply with any such Tax law or the characterization of an Administered Contract as a “modified endowment contract” if such Administered Contract was not intended by the parties to such Administered Contract to qualify as such (any such actual or alleged failure hereinafter referred to as a “Product Tax Failure”) or (B) Seller Indemnified Expenses; provided that Losses indemnifiable under this clause (ii) shall not include (1) lost profits (including lost profits that would otherwise be taken into account in determining Losses in respect of diminution of value) or similar damages, (2) any increased overhead costs or (3) Losses in respect of Purchaser Product Tax Liabilities);

(iii) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of such Seller contained in Section 3.11 (General Tax Representations), determined without regard to any items set forth on Schedule 3.11 and without regard to any qualifications or references to “Seller Material Adverse Effect,” “material” or any other materiality qualifications or references contained in any specific representation or warranty;

(iv) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Product Tax Representations, determined without regard to any item set forth on Schedule 3.11 or any item set forth on Schedule 3.12 and without regard to any qualifications or references to “Seller Material Adverse Effect,” “material” or any other materiality qualifications or references contained in any specific representation or warranty (“Product Tax Loss”). provided, however, that the maximum amount for which Sellers shall be liable under this Section 11.01(a)(iv) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price;

The limitations on Sellers’ obligations to indemnify Purchaser set forth in subclauses (i) through (iv) of Section 11.01(a) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any claim involving fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Sellers or their Affiliates. In no event will this Agreement be interpreted in any manner that would provide a Purchaser Indemnified Party the right to multiple recoveries with respect to the same Loss.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of all Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Seller Indemnified Parties, to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(i) (A) Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assigned and Assumed Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, not covered by Section 11.01(a)(ii) or Section 11.01(a)(iv); (B) except as provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any Taxes imposed with respect to Purchaser’s conduct of the operations and activities described in the Ancillary Agreements; or (C) any breach, violation or non-fulfillment of any of the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement that relate to any Tax matter; provided that Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this clause (i) shall not include lost profits (including lost profits that would otherwise be taken into account in determining Losses in respect of diminution of value) or similar damages;

(ii) (A) an actual or alleged Purchaser Product Tax Failure, or (B) any breach, violation or non-fulfillment of the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement to the extent related to an actual or alleged Product Tax Failure; (collectively, (A) and (B), “Purchaser Product Tax Liabilities”); provided that Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not include (1) lost profits (including lost profits that would otherwise be taken into account in determining Losses in respect of diminution of value) or similar damages or (2) any increased overhead costs or (3) Losses arising from Purchaser having caused a Product Tax Failure other than (y) with respect to an actual or alleged Purchaser Product Tax Failure or (z) to the extent attributable to a breach, violation or non-fulfillment of the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in Section 11.03 of this Agreement;

The limitations on Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify Sellers set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) of Section 11.01(b) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any claim involving fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Purchaser or its Affiliates. In no event will this Agreement be interpreted in any manner that would provide a Seller Indemnified Party the right to multiple recoveries with respect to a Purchaser Product Tax Liability.

Section 11.02. Tax Indemnity Procedures. All indemnification procedure matters relating to the indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 11.01(a) and 11.01(b) shall be governed by Section 10.02.

Section 11.03. Miscellaneous Tax Matters.

(a) Following the date hereof and for so long as Purchaser is obligated to administer any Administered Contract under the Administrative Services Agreement, Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Purchaser if any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller receives, and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Sellers if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives, written notice (i) that a Product Tax Failure may have occurred with respect to any Administered Contract, (ii) that any Administered Contract is in breach of the Product Tax Representations, (iii) of a PTF Query, or (iv) relating to any matter that is reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement with respect to any matter related to Taxes, in each case including the receipt of any written request for information relating to any such matter. To the extent possible without waiver of any legal or other privilege or “work- product” doctrine, the parties shall keep each other reasonably informed and provide prompt updates with respect to such matters, including with respect to all responses provided with respect to the matters set forth in any such notice.

(b) Sellers shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) timely file and prepare all Tax Returns relating to the Administered Contracts, the Transferred Assets and the Business that Sellers and their Affiliates are required to prepare and file under Applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of the Ancillary Agreements. Such Tax Returns

shall be prepared in accordance with past practices and, to the extent such Tax Returns include an amount of Tax that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required to pay or for which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required to reimburse Sellers or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or if such Tax Returns (or positions taken thereon) would be reasonably expected to adversely affect Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Sellers shall (or shall cause) such Tax Returns to be submitted to Purchaser for review and comment no later than 20 days prior to the date such return is required to be filed. Sellers and their Affiliates shall cause all such Tax Returns to be true, complete and correct upon filing and thereafter, and Sellers shall, subject to the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, pay all Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns within the time and in the manner prescribed by Applicable Law.

(c) Following the Closing Date and for so long as Purchaser is obligated to administer any Administered Contract under the Administrative Services Agreement:

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.03(c) or with the written consent of Sellers and Purchaser, each of Purchaser and Sellers shall not and shall cause their respective Affiliates to not (A) notify any Contractholder, Governmental Entity or other third party of a Product Tax Failure or alleged Product Tax Failure; (B) take any action with respect to correcting, remediating or otherwise altering any Administered Contract in order to correct a Product Tax Failure or (C) with respect to a particular Administered Contract or group of Administered Contracts, voluntarily subject any Administered Contract to third party testing for purposes of determining whether there is a Product Tax Failure (collectively and individually, a “Product Tax Action”).

To the extent that (A) Purchaser or Sellers reasonably believe that a Product Tax Action is necessary for Sellers or their Affiliates or Purchaser or its Affiliates to comply with the Code as it relates to the Administered Contracts, (B) a PTF Query has been received by any party or its Affiliates, (C) the failure to take a Product Tax Action is reasonably likely to result in a party breaching its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (D) Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Sellers or their Affiliates, on the other hand, have breached Section 11.03(c)(i)(A) and the non-breaching parties reasonably believe that a Product Tax Action should be taken with respect to the relevant actual or alleged Product Tax Failure, Purchaser or Sellers (as the case may be) shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party of the need to take such Product Tax Action with a description of the reasons for such Product Tax Action. In such event, (1) Sellers and Purchaser shall in good faith determine which party has the greater potential liability and/or Loss (based on reasonable estimates and present value) with respect thereto taking into account, among other items, (y) all indemnification obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (z) Losses that are lost profits, (2) the party with the greater potential liability as determined pursuant to clause (1) shall control such action if it so elects, (3) if the party with the greater potential liability as determined pursuant to clause (1) waives such right, then the other party shall control such Product Tax Action. The party that controls the Product Tax action shall reasonably address such Product Tax Action, which shall include the actions described in clause (iii)

below; provided, however, that if the non-controlling party reasonably determines that the controlling party has failed reasonably to take any Product Tax Action described in this clause (ii), such party shall provide notice of such failure to the other party, and, if such party determines that such failure has not been reasonably corrected by the other party within 15 days after receiving such notice, may elect to take control of such Product Tax Action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, controlling a Product Tax Action shall in no event give Purchaser the authority to bind Sellers with respect to the settlement, remediation or discharge of any Product Tax Action relating to the actual or alleged Product Tax Failure without Sellers’ consent (which may be withheld at Sellers’ sole discretion). In the event that Sellers control a Product Tax Action, Sellers shall have the authority to bind Purchaser with respect to the settlement, remediation or discharge of such actual or alleged Product Tax Failure only with Purchaser’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In connection with any settlement, remediation or discharge of a Product Tax Failure, Sellers shall consider in good faith any adverse effect on Purchaser of such settlement, remediation or discharge.

If one party notifies the other party that the notifying party wishes to settle, remediate or discharge an actual or alleged Product Tax Failure that relates to a Product Tax Action and the notified party chooses not to settle, remediate or discharge (or not to consent to such settlement, remediation or discharge) at such time, the notified party shall indemnify the notifying party for the amount by which the notifying party’s ultimate liability with respect to such actual or alleged Product Tax Failure exceeds the amount for which the notifying party would have been liable in connection with such settlement, remediation and discharge at the time of the notifying party’s requested settlement, remediation or discharge if such item had been settled, remediated or discharged.

(ii) Sellers and Purchaser agree that, for purposes of clause (ii) above, the party controlling a Product Tax Action with respect to a PTF Query shall be required actively to respond to such inquiry in a reasonably prompt manner (but in no event after any deadline imposed with respect to a PTF Query by a Governmental Entity, regulator or under the terms of an LOU) during the pendency of such PTF Query (or any related additional or subsequent PTF Query).

(iii) Sellers and Purchaser agree that the limitations on Product Tax Actions set forth in this Section 11.03(c) shall have no further force or effect upon the parties upon the receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to any matter reasonably relating to such Claim Notice (or the matters set forth therein), and Sellers and Purchaser shall, to the extent provided in Section 10.02, be free to conduct the defense of, or prosecute, any Action with respect to such Claim Notice.

(iv) The party not controlling the taking of a Product Tax Action shall reasonably cooperate and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate with the other party in the taking of such actions. To the extent a party does not control the taking of a Product Tax Action, such party may participate in all actions taken by the other party. Such participating party shall pay its own participation cost. The party controlling the taking of any such action shall, to the extent possible without waiver of

any privilege or “work-product” doctrine, provide to the other party, for such party’s review and comments, copies of any related materials, documents or correspondence submitted to a Governmental Entity, copies of all reports and studies relating to the testing of any Administered Contracts for such Product Tax Failure and the copies of any memorandum or opinion prepared by counsel or other advisors with respect to such matter.

(d) Purchaser shall be liable for all expenses incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to any voluntary investigation undertaken by Purchaser or its Affiliates to determine if an Administered Contract has experienced a Product Tax Failure and shall not seek reimbursement of such expenses from Sellers or its Affiliates, unless (i) (x) it is demonstrated that such Administered Contracts experienced a Product Tax Failure (other than a Purchaser Product Tax Failure) or (y) such expenses relate to the settlement, remediation or discharge of any Action in compliance with Section 11.03(c) relating to an alleged Product Tax Failure (other than a Purchaser Product Tax Failure) (including the entering into of any closing agreement with a Governmental Entity), (ii) such expenses resulted from actions taken by Purchaser or its Affiliates at the express direction or request of Sellers or their Affiliates, or to the extent that Sellers or their Affiliates consented to such expenses, in each case, except with respect to a Purchaser Product Tax Failure or (iii) such expenses relate to actions required to be taken under Section 11.03(e) (other than with respect to Purchaser Product Tax Failure) (clauses (i) through (iii) collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Expenses”).

(e) Each party hereto shall (i) except to the extent contrary with Applicable Law, comply with and cause its Affiliates to comply with the terms or requirements of any agreements entered into by Sellers or their Affiliates or by Purchaser or its Affiliates, as the case may be, that settle, compromise, remediate or correct any actual, proposed or alleged Product Tax Failure with respect to an Administered Contract to the extent such action by such party is not in breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) comply with and cause its Affiliates to comply with any final determination of a Governmental Entity with appropriate jurisdiction relating to a Product Tax Failure of an Administered Contract; provided that a final determination shall include any determination that the relevant party fails to timely appeal.

(f) Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute an overall transaction subject to sections 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Applicable Asset Acquisition”).

(i) Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Allocation”), allocating the “aggregate deemed sale price” (as defined and determined under such Treasury Regulations) among the assets acquired or deemed acquired in the Applicable Asset Acquisition and making such other determinations contemplated by such provisions, all as required by such provisions. (For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the assets acquired or deemed acquired in the

Applicable Asset Acquisition include the intangible capital asset represented by the excess of the “aggregate deemed sale price” over the aggregate value of the tangible and fixed-value intangible assets acquired or deemed acquired under this Agreement.) Sellers shall notify Purchaser of any disagreement with the proposed Allocation within ten (10) Business Days of Sellers’ receipt of such Allocation. Any dispute regarding the Allocation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth below in Section 11.03(f)(ii). Sellers and Purchaser shall (x) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes; (y) prepare and file, and cause their Affiliates to prepare and file, their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation; and (z) take no position, and cause their Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any Tax Authority or otherwise. In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any Tax Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and Sellers and Purchaser agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit, contest or similar proceeding. To the extent permissible under Applicable Law, Sellers and Purchaser will account for any adjustments made to the consideration payable under the Transaction Documents (including any indemnification payments) in a manner consistent with the Allocation.

(ii) If Sellers and Purchaser fail to agree on the Allocation, such matter may be referred by either Sellers or Purchaser to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not available, another independent certified public accounting firm of national standing and reputation mutually acceptable to Purchaser and such Seller, which firm shall not have a material relationship with Sellers or any of their Affiliates or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (the “Neutral Auditor”) for binding arbitration. Within thirty (30) days of such referral, each of Sellers and Purchaser shall deliver to the Neutral Auditor copies of any schedules or documentation that may reasonably be required by the Neutral Auditor to make its determination, together with a memorandum setting forth such party’s position with respect to such arbitration. The Neutral Auditor shall render a determination consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the last submission. The determination of the Neutral Auditor shall be final and binding on all parties. The costs incurred in retaining the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally, fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

ARTICLE XII.

(b) by Sellers or Purchaser upon written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to September 30, 2012 (subject to the first proviso below, the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.01(b) will not be available to a party whose breach (or whose Affiliate’s breach) of any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c) by Purchaser upon written notice to Sellers (i) if there has been a breach of one or more representations or warranties of a Seller contained herein which breach or breaches would result, individually or in the aggregate, in the failure of a condition contained in Article VI or (ii) if there has been any failure on the part of any Seller to comply with or perform any of its agreements, covenants or obligations hereunder in any material respect, and such breach or breaches or noncompliance or nonperformance are incapable of being cured or eliminated by the End Date and have not been waived by Purchaser or, if capable of being cured or eliminated, have not been (x) cured or eliminated by such Seller within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by such Seller of written notice thereof from Purchaser specifying its intention to terminate this Agreement if such breach, noncompliance or nonperformance is not cured, or (y) waived by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date;

(d) by Sellers upon written notice to Purchaser (i) if there has been a breach of one or more representations or warranties of Purchaser contained herein which breach or breaches would result, individually or in the aggregate, in the failure of a condition contained in Article VII or (ii) if there has been any failure on the part of Purchaser to comply with or perform any of its agreements, covenants or obligations hereunder in any material respect, and such breach or breaches or noncompliance or nonperformance are incapable of being cured or eliminated by the End Date and have not been waived by Sellers or, if capable of being cured or eliminated, have not been (x) cured or eliminated by Purchaser within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Purchaser of written notice thereof from Sellers specifying their intention to terminate this Agreement if such breach, noncompliance or nonperformance is not cured, or (y) waived by Sellers on or before the Closing Date; or

If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated as described above, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except that (a) nothing in this Section 12.02 shall relieve either party from liability for fraud or Sellers from liability for any breach of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination (provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for lost profits or similar damages prior to any Closing), (b) Sellers shall have the rights granted

to Sellers pursuant to Section 12.03, and (c) the provisions of this Agreement relating to the obligations of the parties hereto to keep confidential and not to use certain information and data obtained from the other parties hereto, the provisions of this Article XII, and the provisions of Section 5.07 (Expenses), Section 13.01 (Publicity) and Section 13.06 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process), shall remain in full force and effect.

Prior to any Closing, in the absence of fraud, neither Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall seek equitable relief to force Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated at Closing.

(b) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the New York State Supreme Court in the borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the activities or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating hereto.

Section 13.13. Certain Limitations. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Seller nor any of their Affiliates, nor any Representative of any of them makes or has made, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has relied on, any representation or warranty to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, oral or written, express or implied, other than as set forth in Article III.
