Tax Matters Agreement

Covenants

The Tax Matters Agreement contains certain customary covenants with respect to the filing of tax returns, payment of taxes, cooperation, assistance, document retention and certain other administration and procedural matters regarding taxes. In general, the Tax Matters Agreement provides that the party that is responsible for filing and making any tax payments under applicable law generally shall be the party primarily responsible for preparing and filing such tax returns. The Tax Matters Agreement also assigns responsibilities for administrative tax matters, such retention of records and the control and conduct of tax audits, examinations or other similar proceedings. The party responsible for preparing and filing a given tax return generally has authority to control tax contests related to any such tax return, subject to certain notice, assistance and cooperation provisions to the extent the resolution of such tax contest has the potential of impacting another party’s tax liability.

The Tax Matters Agreement also contains certain covenants that, for the period ending December 9, 2024, may prohibit, except in specific circumstances, the parties from taking or failing to take certain actions that could cause the preliminary transactions taken to reorganize the business of the Corporation undertaken to facilitate the Arrangement, the Arrangement or any transaction
