This excerpt taken from the FTI 8-K filed Aug 6, 2008. 7.4 Disclaimers. (a) Parent disclaims all knowledge of or responsibility for the content or accuracy of any separate returns or filings made by or on behalf of Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate for any taxable period during which such company was not a member of the Parent Consolidated Group. (b) Spinco disclaims all knowledge of or responsibility for the content or accuracy of any Tax Returns or filings made by or on behalf of the Parent Consolidated Group or any member thereof for any period except to the extent such Tax Returns or filings reflect items of the Spinco Business. 7.5 Payments. In the event that one party (the Owing Party) is required to make a payment to another party (the Owed Party) pursuant to this Agreement, then to the extent not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, such payment shall be made according to this Section 7.5. (a) All payments shall be made to the Owed Party or to the appropriate Taxing Authority as specified by the Owed Party within the time prescribed for the payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within 20 days after delivery of written notice of payment owing together with a computation of the amounts due. (b) Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the parties agree that any payment made by one party to another party (other than payments of interest and payment of After Tax Amounts pursuant to Section 7.5(d)) pursuant to this Agreement shall be

treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as payments with respect to stock (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Distribution. (c) All actions required to be taken by any party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be performed promptly. (d) If, pursuant to a Final Determination, it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment made under this Agreement (other than payments of interest) is subject to any Tax, the party making such payment shall be liable for (i) the After Tax Amount with respect to such payment, and (ii) interest at the rate described in 7.5(e) on the amount of such tax from the date such Tax is due through the date of payment of such After Tax Amount. A party making a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement and for a payment of an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment shall separately specify and compute such After Tax Amount. However, a party may choose not to specify an After Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement without thereby being deemed to have waived its right subsequently to demand an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment. (e) Any payment that is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement (i) by Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate) to Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) or (ii) by Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) to Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate), that is not made on or prior to the date that such payment is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall thereafter bear interest at the rate established for underpayments pursuant to Section 6621(a) (2) of the Code. (f) Any payment that is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement (i) by Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate) to Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) or (ii) by Parent (or a Parent Affiliate) to Spinco (or a Spinco Affiliate), shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, provided that if the amount of any payment is less than $10,000, such payment may be made in a form other than a wire transfer. 7.6 Changes in Law. Any reference to a provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations, or a law of another jurisdiction shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision or law. If, due to any change in applicable law or regulations or their interpretation by any court of law or other governing body having jurisdiction subsequent to the date specified in the preamble to this Agreement, performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall become impracticable or impossible, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision. 7.7 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by standard form of telecommunications, by courier, or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
