2.05. Certain Postdistribution Transactions.

Article III.

Transactions Relating to the Distribution

3.01. Capitalization.

(a). As of the distribution date, or as soon as possible after, (Subsidiary) will become the obligor or guarantor, as applicable, of the industrial revenue bonds identified in Exhibit A, to this agreement, replacing (Parent) in such capacity.

(b). (Parent) will capitalize (Subsidiary) with $_____ million of equity effective as of _________[date]. This capitalization takes into account the fact that (Subsidiary) will draw down a $_____ million term loan and will assume liability for the industrial revenue bonds identified in Exhibit A. As a part of this capitalization calculation, all intercompany account balances between (Parent) and (Subsidiary) for transactions occurring prior to _________[date] shall be forgiven. All (Subsidiary) related intercompany transactions occurring after _________[date], and on or prior to the distribution date, shall be for the account of (Subsidiary), provided that all intercompany account transactions occurring during such period shall be settled by a payment in cash on or shortly after the distribution date.

(c). (Subsidiary) shall assume liability for all of the industrial revenue bonds identified in Exhibit A, and indemnifies (Parent) and holds (Parent) harmless from all liabilities resulting from them pursuant to the provisions of Article IV.

3.02. Satisfaction of Any Claims Against (Parent). (Subsidiary) agrees that, except as provided in the tax sharing agreement, the making of the capital contribution described in Section 3.01 by (Parent) shall be in complete satisfaction of any claim which (Subsidiary) or any (Subsidiary) subsidiary might otherwise have against (Parent) as its parent or shareholder by reason of dividends or tax benefits paid or made available to (Parent) by (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries at any time prior to the distribution.

3.03. Ancillary Agreements. On or prior to the date of this agreement, (Parent) and (Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver each ancillary agreement to which it is a party.

3.04. Employee Benefit Plans.

(a).

(1). (Subsidiary) shall establish a long-term incentive plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Long-Term Incentive Plan") to become effective as of the distribution date. (Parent) shall approve such plan as the sole shareholder of (Subsidiary). (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations however arising under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and (Parent) shall have no obligations or liabilities under them at any time. (Subsidiary) shall issue "replacement" stock options, as described below, to all (Subsidiary) employees who shall hold outstanding and unexercised stock options immediately prior to the distribution date.

(2). (Subsidiary) shall grant replacement options to purchase class A common stock of (Subsidiary) to the following individuals:

The exercise price of such options shall be established by apportioning the exercise price of each stock option, based upon the relative market values at the time of the distribution, among the common stock of (Subsidiary), _________ and (Parent) Energy Company ("Energy"). The portion of such stock option exercise price allocated to (Subsidiary) shall be multiplied by two (to provide for the one-for-two distribution ratio of (Subsidiary) common stock for (Parent) common stock) and shall represent the exercise price of the applicable (Subsidiary) stock option. (Parent) will calculate the adjusted exercise price and will promptly advise (Subsidiary), which adjusted exercise price shall be binding on (Subsidiary).

(3). All other employees of (Subsidiary) who now hold stock options shall have their stock options replaced by options to purchase class A common stock of (Subsidiary) by (1) determining the equity value immediately following the distribution that the option holders have in their current shares under option, and (2) setting a new option exercise price in the new stock options to purchase (Subsidiary) class A common stock (after consideration of the one-for-two distribution ratio) such that the total equity value in the option holder's existing (Parent) stock options immediately following the distribution is maintained in the new options. If the per share market price of the (Subsidiary) common stock is less than the option holder's postdistribution equity in each share of (Parent) common stock subject to exercise (after adjusting for the one-for-two distribution ratio) the exercise price will be set at approximately $1 per share and options to purchase sufficient additional shares of common stock of (Subsidiary) will be granted, also at an exercise price of approximately $1 per share, as necessary to permit each option holder to maintain the equity —he has in h— options to purchase (Parent) common stock.

(4). For purposes of determining equity value of each option holder referenced in Section 3.04 (a)(3) immediately following the Distribution, the exercise price of a current share of (Parent) common stock subject to an option will be subtracted from the sum of the average trading values of the share prices of (A) Energy, (B) _________, and (C) one-half of (Subsidiary) (to account for the one-for-two distribution ratio) over a short period of time (e.g., 30 days) following the distribution. For purposes of determining the market value of (Subsidiary) common stock to compute (i) the exercise price and (ii) possibly an additional number of shares subject to stock options, the same period of time (e.g., 30 days) will be used.

(b). Prior to the date hereof, (Parent) established its Flexible Benefits Plan to provide medical insurance (the "Welfare Benefit Plan") to current, former and future employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) of (Parent) and the (Parent) subsidiaries (collectively, the "(Parent) beneficiaries"), including to the current, former and future employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) of (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries (collectively, the "(Subsidiary) beneficiaries"). (Parent) has, prior to the distribution date, established a trust fund (the "Welfare Trust Fund") for the purpose of funding the benefits provided by the Welfare Benefit Plan. The Welfare Trust Fund has been written and established in a manner designed to satisfy the conditions for qualification as an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. (Parent) shall transfer to (Subsidiary) and (Subsidiary) shall assume responsibility for the Welfare Benefit Plan and the Welfare Trust Fund.

(c). Prior to the date of this agreement, [Partnership], a partnership owned _____% by (Subsidiary), established its Savings and Investment Plan (the "SIP Plan") and (Parent) established its Profit Based Thrift Plan (the "Thrift Plan"). The Thrift Plan contains funds attributable to certain individuals who will become employees of (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries. The SIP Plan contains such provisions as are necessary or reasonably appropriate to allow the transfer to it of assets held under the Thrift Plan on behalf of the SIP Plan participants. On the date which follows by at least 30 days the filings of IRS Forms 5310 by the Thrift Plan and the SIP Plan, (Parent) shall cause the trust established under the Thrift Plan (the "Thrift Plan Trust") to transfer to the trust established under the SIP Plan (the "SIP Plan Trust") assets in an amount equal to the value of the Thrift Plan account balances attributable to (Subsidiary) employees as of the applicable valuation date. Such assets shall consist of cash, stocks and bonds. The amount to be transferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be calculated and transferred as follows:

(1) (Parent) shall make or cause to be made its best estimate of the aggregate account balances of participants under the Thrift Plan of the SIP Plan participants as of the valuation date selected by (Parent) in compliance with the requirements of the Thrift Plan;

(2) As soon as practicable after such valuation date, (Parent) shall cause such estimated amount to be transferred from the Thrift Plan Trust to the SIP Plan Trust;

(3) As soon as practicable after such valuation date, (Parent) shall determine or cause to be determined the final amount of the account balances of the SIP Plan Participants under the Thrift Plan Trust as of such valuation date;

(4) As soon as practicable, (A) if the amount of such final account balances exceeds the amount previously transferred pursuant to clause (2) of this section, (Parent) shall cause the Thrift Plan Trust to transfer to the SIP Plan Trust assets equal to such excess, or (B) if the amount transferred pursuant to clause (2) of this section exceeds the amount of such final balances, (Subsidiary) shall cause the SIP Plan Trust to transfer to the Thrift Plan Trust assets equal to such excess; and

(5) (Subsidiary) shall cause all assets so transferred to the SIP Plan Trust to be allocated among the accounts of the applicable participants in the SIP Plan in a manner such that the account balance of each applicable participant under the SIP Plan as of the date of transfer shall be equal to such final account balance of such applicable participants under the Thrift Plan.

Nothing in this agreement shall require (Subsidiary) to maintain the SIP Plan for any period of time or impair the right of (Subsidiary) to amend or terminate the SIP Plan in accordance with its terms or applicable law.

(d). Prior to the date hereof, (Parent) established a Supplemental Pension Plan which provides supplemental pension benefits for certain (Parent) employees, including certain (Subsidiary) employees. (Parent) shall transfer to (Subsidiary) and (Subsidiary) shall assume responsibility for the Supplemental Pension Plan, provided that

(Subsidiary) shall have no responsibility for benefits under such plan for (Parent) employees who do not become (Subsidiary) employees on and after the distribution date.

(e). Prior to the date hereof, (Parent) established the (Parent) Corporation Pension Plan (the "(Parent) Pension Plan") and [Partnership] established the [Partnership] Pension Plan (the "P Pension Plan"). The (Parent) Pension Plan contains funds attributable to certain employees of (Subsidiary) and (Subsidiary) subsidiaries. The P Pension Plan contains such provisions as are necessary or reasonably appropriate to allow the transfer to it of assets held under the (Parent) Pension Plan on behalf of the P Pension Plan participants. On the date which follows by at least 30 days the filings of IRS Forms 5310 by the (Parent) Pension Plan and the P Pension Plan, (Parent) shall cause the trust established under the (Parent) Pension Plan (the "plan trust") to divide the assets of the (Parent) Pension Plan in the same ratio that the projected benefit obligation for (Subsidiary) and (Subsidiary) subsidiary employees bears to the total projected benefits obligations for all participants in the (Parent) Corporation Pension Plan, and as so divided, to transfer such assets attributable to (Subsidiary) and (Subsidiary) Subsidiary employees to the P Pension Plan Trust. Such assets shall consist of cash, stocks and bonds. The amount to be transferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be calculated and transferred as follows:

(i) (Parent) has made a calculation of the projected benefit obligation as of _________[date] for all participants in the (Parent) Pension Plan. (Parent) shall also make or cause to be made its best estimate of the value of all assets held by the (Parent) Pension Plan as of the valuation date selected by (Parent) in compliance with the requirements of the (Parent) Pension Plan;

(ii) As soon as practicable after such valuation date, (Parent) shall cause an estimated amount to be transferred from the (Parent) Pension Plan Trust to the P Pension Plan Trust which bears the same ratio to the total estimated value of (Parent) Pension Plan assets as the ratio of the projected benefit obligation for employees of (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries bears to the total projected benefit obligation;

(iii) As soon as practicable after such valuation date, (Parent) shall determine or cause to be determined the final apportionment of assets based on the final value of assets held in the (Parent) Pension Plan Trust as of such valuation date and the projected benefit obligation as of _________[date];

(iv) As soon as practicable thereafter, (A) if the amount of such final apportionment of assets exceeds the amount previously transferred pursuant to clause (ii) of this section, (Parent) shall cause the (Parent) Pension Plan Trust to transfer to the P Pension Plan Trust assets equal to such excess, or (B) if the amount transferred pursuant to clause (ii) of this section exceeds the amount of such final balances, (Subsidiary) shall cause the P Pension Plan Trust to transfer to the (Parent) Pension Plan Trust assets equal to such excess.

Nothing in this agreement shall require (Subsidiary) to maintain the P Pension Plan for any period of time or impair the right of (Subsidiary) to amend or terminate the P Pension Plan in accordance with its terms or applicable law.

(f). (Subsidiary) shall retain or assume, as the case may be, all obligations to all (Subsidiary) beneficiaries under the Welfare Benefit Plan and all obligations to SIP Plan, Pension Plan and Supplemental Pension Plan participants, whether arising before or after the distribution date, and shall indemnify and hold (Parent) harmless against any and all such liabilities. Expenses incurred in consummating the transactions and transfers described in this section 3.04 shall be borne ratably by (Parent) and (Subsidiary), based upon the number of their respective employees.

(g). (Parent) and (Subsidiary) shall, in connection with the transactions and transfers described in this section 3.04 and at (Subsidiary)'s expense, cooperate in making any and all appropriate filings required under the Code or ERISA, and the regulations under them, and any applicable securities laws, and take all such action as may be necessary to cause such transactions and transfers to take place on or as soon as practicable after the distribution date.

(h). As of the Distribution Date, (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries shall assume or retain, as the case may be, sole responsibility for all liabilities and obligations, if any, of (Parent) and the (Parent) subsidiaries with respect to claims made by (Subsidiary) employees relating to any employer liability or obligation not otherwise provided for in this agreement, as well as with respect to any employee benefit or payment to a (Subsidiary) employee not otherwise provided for in this agreement. To the extent not otherwise provided in this

agreement, (Parent) and (Subsidiary) shall take such action as is necessary to effect an adjustment to the books of (Parent) and of (Subsidiary) and of their respective subsidiaries so that, as of the distribution date, the prepaid expense balances and accrued employee liabilities with respect to any employee liability or obligation assumed or retained as of the distribution date by (Subsidiary) and the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries are appropriately reflected on their respective balance sheets as of the distribution date. To the extent that (Parent) or the (Parent) subsidiaries pay for any claim, expense, Liability or obligation in respect of a (Subsidiary) employee not otherwise provided for in this agreement, (Subsidiary) or the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries shall reimburse (Parent) as of the distribution date, to the extent not previously reimbursed.

Except as otherwise specifically provided, this agreement shall not affect any (Subsidiary) or (Subsidiary) subsidiary employee benefit plans, Welfare Benefit Plan or other compensation arrangements which (Subsidiary) or the (Subsidiary) subsidiaries have maintained on or before the distribution date, and (Parent) shall have no liability or obligations with respect to such plans or arrangements at any time. No provisions of this agreement shall be construed as a limitation on the right of (Parent), (Subsidiary) or any of their respective subsidiaries to amend such plans or terminate its participation in them and no provision of this agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee or beneficiary of such employee under a plan which such employee or beneficiary would not otherwise have under the terms of the plan itself.

4.02. Indemnification by (Subsidiary). Except as otherwise set forth in the tax sharing agreement, (Subsidiary) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (Parent), each affiliate of (Parent) and each of their respective directors, officers and employees and each of the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the "(Parent) indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities of the (Parent) indemnitees arising out of or due to the failure or alleged failure of (Subsidiary) or any of its affiliates to pay, perform or otherwise discharge in due course any item set forth on Exhibit — to this Agreement.

4.03. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The amount which any party (an "indemnifying party") is or may be required to pay to any other party (an "indemnitee") pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such indemnitee and actual cash reserves held by or for the benefit of such indemnitee, in reduction of the related liability. If an indemnitee shall have received the payment required by this agreement from an indemnifying party in respect of any liability and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such liability, then such indemnitee shall pay to such indemnifying party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received (up to but not in excess of the amount of any indemnity payment made under this Agreement). An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect to it, or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect to it, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a "windfall" (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions appearing in this agreement) by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

4.04. Procedure for Indemnification.

(a). If an indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity) who is not a party to this agreement or to any of the ancillary agreements of any claim or of the commencement by any such person of any action (a "third party claim") with respect to which an indemnifying party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this agreement, such indemnitee shall give such indemnifying party written notice of it promptly after becoming aware of such third party claim; the failure of any indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 4.04 shall not relieve the related indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the third party claim in reasonable detail and, if ascertainable, shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the liability that has been or may be sustained by such indemnitee.

(b). An indemnifying party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or compromise, at such indemnifying party's own expense and by such indemnifying party's own counsel, any third party claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such third party claim

requires it), the indemnifying party shall notify the related indemnitee if the indemnifying party elects not to defend or to seek to settle or compromise such third party claim, which election may be made only in the event of a good faith assertion by the indemnifying party that a claim was inappropriately tendered under Section 4.01 or 4.02. Unless an indemnifying party elects not to assume the defense of or to seek to settle or compromise a third party claim, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnitee under this article IV for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of it; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the indemnifying party and one or more indemnitees, and in any indemnitee's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between one or more of such indemnitees and such indemnifying party exists in respect of such claim, such indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such indemnitees and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party) shall be paid by such indemnifying party; and provided further that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to settle such action or claim on behalf of the indemnitee without the prior written consent of the indemnitee, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. For the purposes of this agreement, such consent shall be deemed to be reasonably withheld only if such settlement would, in addition to the payment of money, impose an unreasonable and material burden on the indemnitee, including without limitation a consent judgment or injunction. If an indemnifying party elects not to defend, or elects not to seek to settle or compromise, a third party claim, such indemnitee may defend or seek to compromise or settle such third party claim.

(c). If an indemnifying party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any third party claim, the related indemnitee, at its own expense, shall make available to such indemnifying party any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense, settlement or compromise, and shall otherwise cooperate in the defense, settlement or compromise of such third party claims.

(d). Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.04 to the contrary, neither an indemnifying party nor an indemnitee shall settle or compromise any third party claim unless such settlement or compromise contemplates as an unconditional term of it the giving by such claimant or plaintiff to the indemnitee or the indemnifying party, respectively, of a written release from all liability with respect to such third party claim.

(e). Any claim on account of a liability which does not result from a third party claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the indemnitee to the related indemnifying party. Such indemnifying party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond in writing to it. If such indemnifying party does not respond within such 30 day period, such indemnifying party shall be deemed to have rejected responsibility to make payment. If such indemnifying party does respond in writing within such 30 day period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, or in the event a claim is deemed to have been rejected, such indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under applicable law.

(f). In addition to any adjustments required pursuant to Section 4.03, if the amount of any liability shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required by this agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection with them, shall promptly be repaid by the indemnitee to the indemnifying party.

(g). Upon the written demand of an indemnitee, an indemnifying party shall reimburse or advance funds to such indemnitee for all liabilities reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any third party claim in advance of its final disposition; provided that such reimbursement need be made only upon delivery to the indemnifying party of an undertaking by such indemnitee to repay all amounts so reimbursed or advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article IV or otherwise.

(h). In the event of payment by an indemnifying party to any indemnitee in connection with any third party claim, such indemnifying party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such third party claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such third party claim or against any other person. Such indemnitee shall cooperate with such indemnifying party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of

such indemnifying party, in prosecuting, in its name or in the name of the indemnitee, any subrogated right or claim.

4.05. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any indemnifying party; provided that all remedies sought or asserted by an Indemnitee against an indemnifying party with respect to a liability shall be limited by and be subject to the provisions of this Article IV.

4.06. Survival of Indemnities. The obligations of each of (i) (Parent) on the one hand, and (ii) (Subsidiary), on the other hand, under this Article IV, shall survive the sale or other transfer by it of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities, with respect to any loss of the other related to such assets, businesses or Liabilities.
