(f) The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be borne by BHGE LLC or the Buyer in inverse proportion to the value of the Disputed Items resolved in favor of each such Party. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, BHGE LLC and the Buyer and their accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.08(e); provided, however, that the accountants of BHGE LLC or the Buyer shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(g) Except as set forth in the Transaction Accounting Principles, no fact or event, including any market or business development, occurring after the Closing Date, and no change in U.S. GAAP or Law after the Closing Date, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 2.08.

(h) Within three Business Days after the Final Statement becomes final:

(i) if the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative and the value of the Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Final Statement is less than the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then BHGE LLC will pay or cause to be paid to the Buyer or its designee an amount, in cash, equal to the absolute value of the Closing Working Capital minus the absolute value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital to an account identified in writing by the Buyer;

(ii) if the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative and the value of the Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Final Statement is (A) greater than the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and (B) less than zero, then the Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to BHGE LLC or its designee an amount, in cash, equal to the absolute value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus the absolute value of the Closing Working Capital to an account identified in writing by BHGE LLC;

(iii) if the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative and the value of the Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Final Statement is zero or greater, then the Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to BHGE LLC or its designee an amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (A) the absolute value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital plus (B) the lesser of (1) the Closing Working Capital or (2) the Closing Receivables (in the case of clause (B), in either case, on the terms set forth in Section 2.11) to an account identified in writing by BHGE LLC;

(iv) if the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital is zero or greater and the value of the Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Final Statement is negative, then BHGE LLC will pay or cause to be paid to the Buyer or its designee an amount, in cash, equal to the absolute value of the Closing Working Capital to an account identified in writing by the Buyer; or

(v) if the value of the Estimated Closing Working Capital is positive and the value of the Closing Working Capital is positive, then the Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to BHGE LLC or its designee an amount, in cash, equal to the lesser of (A) the Closing Working Capital or (B) the Closing Receivables, in either case, on the terms set forth in Section 2.11).

Section 2.09 Withholding. Each of the Sellers, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. law. If any amount is so withheld and properly remitted to the relevant Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person with respect to which such deduction or withholding was imposed. Any Person deducting and withholding any amount in respect of any payment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall (i) furnish to the Person in respect of which such payment is made, within 10 Business Days of such payment, the original or certificated copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment and (ii) notify the Person in respect of whom such payment is made, no later than 10 Business Days prior to making such payment, of its intention to withhold, which notice shall include a statement of the amounts it intends to deduct or withhold and the applicable provision of Law requiring such deduction or withholding and (iii) reasonably cooperate with the Person in respect of which such payment is made to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding.

Section 2.10 Assignment of Certain IST Assets and the Equity Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any IST Asset or the Equity Interests or any claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from any of the foregoing if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Buyer (or one or more of its designees who would, if not for operation of this Section 2.10, take assignment of such IST Asset or Equity Interests as assignee of the Buyer) thereto or thereunder. BHGE LLC will, and will cause each of the other Sellers to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent necessary for the transfer or assignment of any such IST Asset or Equity Interests, claim, right or benefit to the Buyer or its applicable designee as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, and the Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist BHGE LLC and the other Sellers in furtherance of obtaining any such consents. If, on the Closing Date, any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of the Buyer or its applicable designee thereto or thereunder so that the Buyer or its applicable designee would not in fact receive all such rights, then, until any requisite consent is obtained therefor and the same is transferred and assigned to the Buyer or its designee, the Sellers and the Buyer will cooperate in a mutually agreeable

arrangement under which the Buyer or its applicable designee would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such IST Asset or Equity Interests, claim, right or benefit (to the extent such obligations and burdens constitute IST Liabilities) in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Buyer (or one or more of its designees), or under which the Sellers would enforce for the benefit of the Buyer any and all of their rights against a third party (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such IST Asset or Equity Interests, claim, right or benefit (with any expenses incurred by the Sellers in connection with any such enforcement at the request of the Buyer to be borne by the Buyer), and the Sellers would promptly pay to the Buyer (or one or more of its designees) when received all monies received by them under any such IST Asset or Equity Interests, claim, right or benefit.

Section 2.11 Collection of Receivables. If Closing Working Capital is greater than zero and if any Current Receivables are reflected in the Final Statement (the “Closing Receivables”), then, until the earlier of the one year anniversary of the Closing and the date on which all amounts due from the Buyer to BHGE LLC pursuant to Section 2.08 have been paid, the Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, seek to collect from each applicable third party any Closing Receivables using the same level of efforts that they would apply in the ordinary course of conducting the IST Business. Promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital and during the period described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Buyer shall pay to BHGE LLC an amount, in cash, equal to the portion of the Closing Receivables actually collected by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates during such immediately preceding calendar quarter (net of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer and its Affiliates in collecting such Closing Receivables and, in any event, no more (in the aggregate with other such payments already made) than the lesser of (a) the amount of the Closing Receivables or (b) the Closing Working Capital) to an account identified by BHGE LLC in writing (it being understood that, subject to the foregoing limitation, the amount of Closing Receivables paid by the Buyer to BHGE LLC within five Business Days after the end of the first calendar quarter following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital shall be equal to the amount of the Closing Receivables collected during such calendar quarter and the amount of the Closing Receivables collected between the Closing Date and the first day of such calendar quarter). If, as of the one year anniversary of the Closing, the Buyer has not yet paid to BHGE LLC Closing Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.11 in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Closing Receivables or (ii) the Closing Working Capital, then the Parties will consult in good faith regarding their preferred approach to settlement of the amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Closing Receivables or (B) the Closing Working Capital, as applicable, minus the amount of Closing Receivables paid on or before such one year anniversary.

No Party shall participate in any material meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless, to the extent practicable, it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. Subject to Sections 6.02 and 6.05(c), the Parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Party may

reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early approval or termination of any applicable waiting periods under any Competition Law. Nothing in this Section 6.05(b) shall apply to Tax matters.

Section 6.06 Letters of Credit; Other Obligations. At or prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for substitute letters of credit, guarantees, surety bonds, performance bonds or other contractual obligations for those letters of credit, guarantees, surety bonds, performance bonds and other contractual obligations set forth on Schedule 6.06 (collectively, the “BHGE Credit Support”); provided, however, that Buyer’s obligation shall be limited to proffering to the beneficiary of such instrument an unsecured guarantee of GE. To the extent any BHGE Credit Support remains outstanding following the Closing because the Buyer did not or was not able to replace it, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless BHGE LLC and its Affiliates against, and reimburse BHGE LLC and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts actually drawn upon or paid to such beneficiaries under such outstanding BHGE Credit Support.

Section 6.07 Further Action.

(a) The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other papers and take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of the Transaction Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the conditions to the obligations of the other Party to consummate the Transaction to be satisfied as promptly as practicable hereafter; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.07(a) shall require the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, to pay money to, commence or participate in any Action with respect to, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to, any third party.

(b) The Parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of the matters relating to the completion of the Transaction. From time to time following the Closing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and similar

instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or appropriate to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably requested by the other Party.

(c) If, following the Closing, the Buyer and BHGE LLC reasonably determine that any Excluded Assets were transferred to, or any Excluded Liabilities were assumed by, the Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) at the Closing, then the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to transfer back to the applicable Seller such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities as promptly as practicable without the payment of consideration. If, following the Closing, the Buyer and BHGE LLC reasonably determine that IST Assets were not transferred to, or IST Liabilities were not assumed by, the Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) at the Closing (other than IST Assets or IST Liabilities owned by GEOG M&I), the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to transfer such IST Assets or IST Liabilities to the Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) as promptly as practicable without the payment of any further consideration.

Section 6.08 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) As an inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to more effectively protect the value and goodwill of the IST Business being sold to the Buyer, BHGE LLC covenants and agrees that, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.08(a), for a period of two years following the Closing Date, neither BHGE LLC nor any of its Affiliates shall, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any servicing of the installed base of steam turbines described on Schedule 6.08 (the “Competitive Activity”) or (ii) give advice to or knowingly assist (financially, technically, managerially, or otherwise), any Person in connection with such Person’s engagement, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Activity, including as a partner, stockholder, member, principal, agent or trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BHGE LLC and its Affiliates may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if it is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b) For two years following the Closing Date, neither BHGE LLC nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce to leave the employ of the Buyer, GEOG M&I or their respective Affiliates any IST Employee, whether or not such employee is a full-time or a temporary IST Employee, and whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent BHGE LLC or any of its Affiliates from general, non-targeted advertisements or solicitations conducted by an independent employment agency or search firm whose efforts are not specifically directed at such employee.

(c) Notwithstanding the limitations in Section 6.08(b) hereof applicable to IST Employees, such limitations shall not prohibit BHGE LLC or its Affiliates from soliciting any IST Employee after the termination of such employee’s employment at any time after the Closing Date by the Buyer and its Affiliates; provided, that BHGE LLC and its Affiliates have not taken action directly or indirectly intended to encourage, incentivize or induce such termination of such employee’s employment with the Buyer and its Affiliates.

(c) If, on or after the Closing Date, any Seller (or any of its respective Affiliates) receives any mail, courier package, telegraph message, facsimile transmission, purchase order, service request or other document that relates to the IST Assets or the IST Business, BHGE LLC shall, or shall cause such Seller to, promptly forward such documents, using a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next-day delivery, to the Buyer.

Section 6.10 Intercompany Obligations. BHGE LLC shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, take such action and make such payments as may be necessary so that, as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.10, there shall be no intercompany obligations to which any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller is a party and (a) to which GEOG M&I is also a party or is otherwise bound or (b) is binding on any of the IST Assets. This Section 6.10 shall not affect any outstanding obligations of the Parties or their respective Affiliates under the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2018, between GE, as Seller, and BHGE LLC, as Buyer (as amended from time to time).

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.01 Straddle Periods. For purposes of determining the Liability of a Person for Taxes for a First Straddle Period or Second Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Period”), the determination of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the date of commencement of the BHGE Ownership Period or the Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the date of commencement of the BHGE Ownership Period or the Closing Date, as the case may be, and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of such Person for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of such Person were closed at the close of the date of commencement of the BHGE Ownership Period or the Closing Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as ad valorem and other similar Taxes imposed on property (“Property Taxes”), franchise based solely on capital, and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis. In determining whether a Property Tax is attributable to a Tax period ending on or before the date of commencement of the BHGE Ownership Period or the Closing Date, as the case may be, or a Straddle Period (or portion thereof), any Property Tax shall be deemed a Property Tax attributable to the taxable period specified on the relevant Property Tax bill.

Section 7.02 Purchase Price Allocation. The Buyer shall prepare and deliver to BHGE LLC, within 90 days following the determination of the Final Statement, a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the purchase price (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the IST Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate). BHGE LLC shall have the right to review the Allocation Schedule and shall notify the Buyer in writing of any objections within 20 days after its receipt thereof. BHGE LLC and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 20 days. In the event that BHGE LLC and the Buyer are unable to resolve such dispute within such 20-day period, then BHGE LLC and the Buyer shall refer the matter to the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.08. In making such determination, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, it shall make a determination solely with respect to unresolved disputed items of the Allocation Schedule, and the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination thereof shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by BHGE LLC and the Buyer, and not by independent review. Sellers and the Buyer shall (a) be bound by the Allocation Statement, as adjusted, for purposes of determining any Taxes and (b) act in accordance with the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including IRS Form 8594), in each case, as otherwise required by Law. For purposes of the Allocation Statement, if there is an

adjustment to the purchase price (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the adjustment shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.

Section 7.03 Tax Returns. BHGE LLC shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) (a) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to GEOG M&I on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis with the Equity Seller or any Affiliate thereof (other than GEOG M&I) and (b) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to GEOG M&I on or prior to the Closing Date. In each case, BHGE LLC shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to GEOG M&I after the Closing Date and the Buyer shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. All Tax Returns that BHGE LLC is required to file or cause to be filed in accordance with this Section 7.03 shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice on such Tax Returns, no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods (including positions, elections or methods that would have the effect of deferring income to periods ending after the Closing Date or accelerating deductions to periods ending on or before the Closing Date), save to the extent such change in position, election or method may be required by Law as in force from time to time. With respect to any Tax Return to be filed by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.03 that relates to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date, or any Straddle Period, not less than 30 days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, taking into account extensions (or, if such due date is within 30 days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), the Buyer shall provide BHGE LLC with a draft copy of such Tax Return for BHGE LLC’s review and comment, and Buyer shall cause any reasonable comments with respect to Excluded Taxes to be reflected on such Tax Return prior to filing such Tax Return. BHGE LLC shall reimburse the Buyer for Excluded Taxes which are remitted in respect of any Tax Return to be filed by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.03 upon the written request of the Buyer, but in no event earlier than 5 days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes (taking into account any extensions). Such reimbursement obligation shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 10.05.

Section 7.04 Refunds. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall be entitled to any refunds or credits in respect of Excluded Taxes (other than any refunds or credits attributable to Excluded Taxes taken into account as an asset in the Closing Working Capital as set forth on the Final Statement), and, upon BHGE LLC’s or any Seller’s reasonable request, the Buyer shall, at BHGE LLC’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any refunds or credits with respect thereto. The Buyer shall pay to BHGE LLC the amount of any such refunds or credits (together with any interest paid on such refund or credit and net of any income Taxes imposed thereon and any reasonable third-party expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining such refund or credit) within five Business Days following receipt thereof.

Section 7.05 Payment for UK NOLs.

(a) With respect to every NOL Tax Period, the Buyer shall pay to BHGE LLC an amount equal to the amount by which any due and proper utilization of any GEOG M&I NOLs has actually resulted in a reduction in the net UK corporation tax liability of GEOG M&I or any UK Buyer Group Company (an “NOL Reduction”), but only to the extent that the NOL Reduction does not reduce or relate to Excluded Taxes.

(b) Any payment pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be made by the Buyer within twenty (20) Business Days following the filing of a Tax Return which reflects or takes account of the NOL Reduction.

(c) To the extent that HM Revenue & Customs refuses, denies or reverses the utilization of GEOG M&I NOLs which has given rise to an NOL Reduction, BHGE LLC shall pay on demand an amount to the Buyer which is equal to the lesser of (a) the amount by which the NOL Reduction is reduced or reversed as a result or (b) the amount previously paid by the Buyer with respect to the NOL Reductions pursuant to this ‎Section 7.05.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.05 shall require GEOG M&I or any UK Buyer Group Company to utilize any GEOG M&I NOL in priority to any other relief, deduction, saving or exemption that may be available to it.

Section 7.06 Post-Closing Covenants. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including GEOG M&I) to, (a) make any election or deemed election under Section 338 of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or non-U.S. law, without Sellers’ prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (b) make any Tax election, amend any Tax Return, initiate any voluntary disclosure with respect to Taxes or waive or extend any statute of limitations for the assessment or collection of any Tax, in each case with respect to a BHGE Tax Period, without the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.07 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each Party shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to):

(a) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 11.02, as reasonably requested by the filing party;

(b) reasonably cooperate with the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other Party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 7.03;

(c) reasonably cooperate in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with Taxing Authorities regarding, GEOG M&I;

(d) make available to the other Party and to any Taxing Authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the IST Business and GEOG M&I;

(e) furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence received from any Taxing Authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of GEOG M&I; provided, that the Buyer and its Affiliates shall only be obligated to furnish copies of such correspondence to the extent such audit or information request relates to Excluded Taxes; and

(f) cooperate in preparing (or procuring the preparation of) a valid election in respect of any Fixtures under the Capital Allowances Act 2001, section 198 (the “Election”) if reasonably requested by Buyer, unless the making of such Election would have a materially adverse effect on the Tax affairs of either Party. It is further agreed that the aggregate amount of expenditure treated as incurred on the acquisition of the Fixtures shall be equal to the allocation of the purchase price under Section 7.02 to the Fixtures.

Section 7.08 Tax Contests.

(a) If the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) receives notice of the commencement or existence of a Tax Contest relating to Excluded Taxes, the Buyer shall within three Business Days from such receipt provide to BHGE LLC written notice of such Tax Contest, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder except to the extent, if any, that the rights of BHGE LLC or any Seller with respect to such claim are actually prejudiced.

(b) In the event of any Tax Contest (i) solely in respect of Excluded Taxes or (ii) in respect of both Excluded Taxes and no more than a de minimis amount of Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, BHGE LLC shall control the defense of such Tax Contest; provided, that (x) BHGE LLC shall reasonably and in good faith keep the Buyer notified concerning any material development with respect to such Tax Contest, (y) to the extent related to GEOG M&I, the Buyer and its Representatives shall be permitted, at Buyer’s own expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such Tax Contest and (z) without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, BHGE LLC shall not settle any such Tax Contest if doing so would reasonably be expected to increase the Tax Liability of the Buyer for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes by more than a de minimis amount.

(c) The Buyer shall control any Tax Contest involving the IST Assets, IST Liabilities, the IST Business or GEOG M&I, other than Tax Contests described in Section 7.08(b); provided, that, in the case of any Tax Contest partially in respect of Excluded Taxes, (i) Buyer shall reasonably and in good faith keep BHGE LLC notified concerning any material development with respect to such Tax Contest (to the extent relating to Excluded Taxes), (ii) BHGE LLC and its Representatives shall be permitted, at BHGE LLC’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, the portion of any such Tax Contest relating to Excluded Taxes, and (iii) without the prior written consent of BHGE LLC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer shall not settle any such Tax Contest if doing so would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Liability in respect of Excluded Taxes of more than a de minimis amount.

Section 7.09 Termination of Tax Sharing Arrangements. All Tax Sharing Arrangements between Sellers and Seller Affiliates, on the one hand, and GEOG M&I, on the other hand (other than this Agreement and that certain Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2017, between GE, BHGE LLC, BHGE Parent and the other parties thereto), will terminate as to GEOG M&I prior to the Closing Date and GEOG M&I will not have any liability thereunder on or after the Closing Date.

Section 7.10 VAT Matters.

(a) BHGE LLC, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers, and the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its designees, intend that the sale of the IST Business comprising the IST Assets procured under this Agreement shall, for the purposes of VAT, constitute a transfer of a going concern, in the case of the UK within the meaning of article 5 of the VAT (Special Provisions) Order 1995 (SI 1995/1265) and, in the case of any other jurisdiction, within the meaning of any similar corresponding VAT provisions. BHGE LLC and the Buyer agree to use all reasonable endeavors to secure that the Transaction is not treated as a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of VAT, including where applicable making and maintaining registrations for VAT where it is possible to do so.

(b) The Buyer represents and warrants that it or one of its relevant Affiliates (i) is registered for VAT in the relevant jurisdiction(s) and (ii) intends to carry on the IST Business upon and immediately following Closing in the same way (for the purposes of VAT) as the Sellers.

(c) If VAT is or becomes payable as a result of the Transaction, the relevant Seller shall issue a valid VAT invoice addressed to the Buyer or its designee in respect of the relevant supply and upon receipt of such VAT invoice, the Buyer or its designee shall pay the appropriate amount of VAT to the relevant Seller or, to the extent the Buyer or its designee is required to account for such VAT by way of reverse charge then the Buyer or its designee shall so account to the relevant Taxing Authority.

(d) Neither BHGE LLC, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers, nor the Buyer or its designees intend that any VAT registration number should transfer from any Seller to the Buyer or its designees pursuant to this Agreement, and (except as may otherwise be transferred under Section 2.01(a)(iv)) no Liabilities with respect to VAT shall pass from any Seller to the Buyer or its designees pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement. Accordingly, each Seller shall, where applicable, retain and preserve any VAT records relating to the part of the IST Business carried on by it for a period of not less than six years after Closing (or such longer period as may be required by law), shall make such VAT records available for inspection or copying by the Buyer or its designees (at the Buyer’s expense and during normal business hours), and shall provide such information contained in the VAT records as the Buyer or its designees may reasonably require (at the Buyer’s expense).

(e) BHGE LLC shall procure that, on or before Closing, notice shall be given to the relevant Tax Authority that GEOG M&I will cease to be under their control with effect from Closing and will use their reasonable endeavors to procure that the date on which GEOG M&I ceases to be a member of the VAT Group falls on Closing.

(f) Buyer will procure that GEOG M&I contributes to the representative member of the VAT Group that proportion of any VAT for which the representative member of the VAT Group is accountable that is properly attributable to taxable supplies, acquisitions and importations (“Supplies”) made or deemed to be made before Closing by GEOG M&I (less any recoverable input tax that is attributable to those Supplies), such contribution to be made in cleared funds no later than two Business Days after demand is made for it by BHGE LLC or, if later, two Business Days before the day on which the representative member of the VAT Group is required to account for such VAT to any relevant Tax Authority.

(g) BHGE LLC shall procure that there is paid to GEOG M&I an amount equal to such proportion of any repayment of VAT which the representative member of the VAT Group is entitled to receive from any relevant Tax Authority or of any credit to which the representative member of the VAT Group is entitled by reference to an excess of deductible input tax over output tax that is properly attributable to Supplies made or deemed to be made by GEOG M&I before Closing, such payment to be made in cleared funds no later than two Business Days after the date on which repayment of any VAT is received from the relevant Tax Authority or, if earlier, the date on which the benefit of any credit is realized.

(h) No payment shall be required under Section 7.10(f) to the extent that: (i) such payment was made or satisfied on or before Closing; or (ii) such VAT is interest or penalties in respect of VAT, which relates to an event occurring on or before Closing.

(i) The deeming provisions of section 43(1) of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 will be disregarded in determining for the purposes of Section 7.10‎(f) and Section 7.10(g) what supplies have been made or are deemed to have been made by or to any person.

(j) Sections 7.09(f), 7.09(h) and 7.09(i) shall apply to such VAT accounting periods of the VAT Group which commence prior to Closing and end after Closing.

(k) If the Buyer reasonably considers that neither it nor GEOG M&I has sufficient information or evidence to substantiate the amount of contribution requested by BHGE LLC under Section 7.10(f) or any payment to be made under Section 7.10(g), it shall be entitled to request that BHGE LLC deliver to GEOG M&I a statement, together with reasonably explanatory details, workings and calculations (the “VAT Statement”) certifying whether a payment under Section 7.10(f) or 7.10(g) is due and, if so, the amounts that are so due. BHGE LLC shall be required to deliver such VAT Statement within 10 Business Days of such request being made. Within two Business Days of delivery of such VAT Statement:

(i) Where the amount by which any contribution previously made by GEOG M&I pursuant to Section 7.10(f):

(A) exceeds the amount reflected in the VAT Statement as being attributable to the relevant Supplies, BHGE LLC shall procure that there is paid to GEOG M&I an amount equal to such excess; or

(B) is less than the amount reflected in the VAT Statement as being attributable to the relevant Supplies, the Buyer shall procure that there is paid to the representative member of the VAT Group an amount equal to such shortfall; and

(ii) where the amount by which any payment previously made to GEOG M&I pursuant to Section 7.10(g):

(A) exceeds the amount reflected in the VAT Statement as being attributable to the relevant Supplies, the Buyer shall procure that there is paid to the representative member of the VAT Group an amount equal to such excess; or

(B) is less than the amount reflected in the VAT Statement as being attributable to the relevant Supplies, BHGE LLC shall procure that there is paid to GEOG M&I an amount equal to such shortfall.

Section 7.11 Coordination with Tax Matters Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2017, between GE, BHGE LLC, BHGE Parent and the other parties thereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 7.12 Survival of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article VII shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation (taking into account extensions thereof).

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of BHGE LLC contained in Article III or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of BHGE LLC pursuant to ‎Section 8.02(a)(v) as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or failure by BHGE LLC or any other Seller or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(c) any (i) Excluded Assets, (ii) Excluded Taxes, (iii) Liabilities of the IST Business that are not IST Liabilities and (iv) any other Liabilities that are not IST Liabilities that transferred to the Buyer, or that are subject to the Reverse Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, at the Closing in connection with the Transaction that should not have been transferred pursuant to the terms hereof;

(d) (i) each Transferred Claim and (ii) the Albany Receivable, in the case of this clause (ii), to the extent the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or any assignee thereof) has not collected the amount of such Albany Receivable specified in Closing Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement from the applicable third party on or prior to the one year anniversary of the date such Albany Receivable was invoiced to the applicable third party;

(e) 50% of any Transfer Costs; and

(f) any action or omission from acting since November 13, 2018 that would require the consent of the Buyer pursuant to Section 6.01(a) if taken after the date hereof.

From and after the Closing, and subject to the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.01, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless BHGE LLC and its Affiliates and each of their respective employees, directors, officers, stockholders, agents, and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any and all Losses that any such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer contained in Article IV or in any certificate of instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer pursuant to ‎Section 8.01(a)(iv) as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or failure by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(d) subject to Section 10.01, any IST Asset or IST Liability.

Section 10.03 Notification of Claims.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, a Person that may be entitled to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), describing (to the extent then known) the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 11.01 for such representation or warranty; provided, further, that each Transferred Claim shall be deemed to be a Third Party Claim as of the Closing Date to the extent such claims have not been finally settled at such time. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such other information with respect to any such Third Party Claim as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.03(a), with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate, at its sole cost and expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.03(b), shall be entitled to assume the defense and control of such claim (including, with respect to the Transferred Claims, asserting on behalf of the Buyer, after good faith consultation with the Buyer, any reasonable counterclaim for payment of additional work carried out by the IST Business under the applicable Contract (each, a “Counterclaim”)), in each case, at its expense, if it gives written notice of its intention to do so to such Indemnified Party within 15 Business Days of the receipt of such notice from such Indemnified Party; provided, that, prior to assuming the defense and control of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall (i) acknowledge that, based on the facts then known and the amount claimed in such Third Party Claim, it is obligated for half or more of the Losses relating to such Third Party Claim (after application of the applicable limitations set forth in this ‎Article X) and (ii) allow the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in clause (i) to the contrary, but subject to the other limitations included herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that BHGE LLC shall be the Controlling Party with respect to each Transferred Claim. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, in either case, that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the other party and shall, subject to this Section 10.03, take all steps reasonably

necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Each of the Parties, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim and with respect to any Counterclaim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain the defense and control of any such claim, and the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be Losses indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X, if (A) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgement described in the first sentence of this Section 10.03(b) within 15 Business Days of receipt of notice of the claim pursuant hereto or (B) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or seeks as a principal remedy injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless (1) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement (subject to Section 10.05, if applicable), (2) the settlement is for money damages only, and does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including by encumbering any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or imposing any restriction or condition on any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business or any business of its Affiliates), (3) the Indemnified Party would receive, as a condition of such settlement or other resolution, a complete, express and unconditional release from all Liabilities of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim and (4) with respect to the Transferred Claims, the settlement includes a full and final settlement of any and all Counterclaims. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party have authority to agree to any relief other than the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party unless agreed to in advance in writing by the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.03, the procedures set forth in Section 7.08, and not this Section 10.03, shall apply with respect to any Tax Contest.

Section 10.04 Exclusive Remedies. Except for rights and claims arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, effective as of the Closing, each of (a) the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, effective as of the Closing, GEOG M&I), on the one hand, and (b) BHGE LLC, on behalf of itself and the Asset Sellers and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, waives any rights and claims any such Person may have against the other or any of such other’s Affiliates, whether in Law or in equity, relating to the IST Business or the Transaction. The rights and claims waived by the Parties pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence include claims arising under or relating to environmental Laws (whether now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. Except with respect to the matters covered by Section 2.08 and fraud, and other than with respect to specific performance as contemplated by Section 11.12, BHGE LLC and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive

remedies of any Seller Indemnified Party and any Buyer Indemnified Party, respectively, for any Losses that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, the Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 10.05 Certain Limitations.

(a) BHGE LLC shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party, and the Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party, in either case, for any Losses under Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.02(a), as applicable, except with respect to Seller Fundamental Representations (in the case of BHGE LLC), Buyer Fundamental Representations (in the case of the Buyer) or fraud, (i) for any individual item (or series of related items arising out of the same facts, events, or circumstances) where the Losses related thereto is less than $20,000, and no such item (or series of related items) shall be counted for purposes of calculating the Deductible, (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses requiring indemnification thereunder exceeds, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $200,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess and (iii) on an aggregate cumulative basis in excess of $20,000,000.

(b) In no event will BHGE LLC or the Buyer be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, respectively, for any Losses pursuant to Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.02(a), other than in respect of fraud, on an aggregate cumulative basis in excess of $20,000,000.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in no event shall either Party have any indemnification obligation hereunder for any consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or other similar damages, except to the extent payable by an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any damages that are reasonably foreseeable in light of the nature of the Transaction and the Indemnified Party shall not be considered “consequential” damages for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate in accordance with Law any Losses for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to the Hyundai Claims, nothing in this ‎Section 10.05(d) shall require any Buyer Indemnified Party to incur any additional cost or expense that such Buyer Indemnified Party would not have otherwise incurred in satisfaction and performance of its obligations under the Hyundai Contract.

(e) Except with respect to the Transferred Claims, each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Losses payable under ‎Section 10.02.

(f) In the event that all or any portion of an Albany Receivable shall have been collected from the applicable third party subsequent to receipt by the Buyer Indemnified Parties of an indemnification payment with respect to such Albany Receivable pursuant to ‎Section

10.01(d)(ii), GE shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to BHGE LLC an amount, in cash, equal to the portion of such Albany Receivable that was collected.

(g) For purposes of determining whether or not a breach of any representation or warranty of either Party contained in Article III or Article IV has occurred, and the value of the Losses arising in connection therewith, any limitation or qualification as to materiality, material, Material Adverse Effect or any similar qualifier, other than with respect to the reference to Material Adverse Effect in Section 3.06, shall be disregarded.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnified Parties shall be deemed not to have suffered any Loss to the extent such Loss was expressly reflected in Closing Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement.

(i) The indemnification obligations of BHGE LLC pursuant to Section 10.01(d) shall be limited to (i) with respect to the Albany Claims and any non-payment of the Albany Receivable (in whole or in part), 100% of the Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties thereunder until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered an aggregate amount of $8,050,000 of Losses thereunder and (ii) with respect to the Hyundai Claims, (A) 100% of the Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties thereunder until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 of Losses thereunder and (B) after the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 of Losses thereunder and until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered an aggregate amount of $29,000,000 thereunder, 50% of the Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum aggregate Liability of BHGE LLC for all Losses to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (1) with respect to the Albany Claims and any non-payment of the Albany Receivable (in whole or in part), shall be limited to $8,050,000 and (2) with respect to the Hyundai Claims, shall be limited to $19,500,000. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without any agreement or acknowledgement by GE or any of its Affiliates that any such claims, rights or benefits exist, BHGE Parent and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have waived any claims, rights or benefits that BHGE Parent or any of its Affiliates may have against any other Person (including GE and its Affiliates) under any other Contract with respect to the Transferred Claims; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any such preserved claims, rights or benefits, BHGE LLC shall indemnify and promptly reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of Losses pursuant to Section 10.01(d) without setoff, counterclaim, delay or other modification attributable to such claims, rights or benefits.

(j) When calculating the indemnifiable Losses of any Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 10.01(d), the Parties acknowledge and agree that such Losses shall be calculated without regard for any reserves, to the extent such reserves have been excluded from the calculation of Closing Working Capital under the Transaction Accounting Principles.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Survival. The representations and warranties of BHGE LLC and the Buyer contained in or made pursuant to Article III and Article IV, respectively, and the certificates

delivered pursuant to ‎Section 8.01(a)(iv) and ‎Section 8.02(a)(v), and the covenants and agreements of the Parties to be performed prior to the Closing contained in this Agreement, shall survive in full force and effect until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, at which time they shall terminate (and no claims with respect to such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall be made for indemnification under Sections 10.01 or 10.02 thereafter); provided, however, that the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, and the Surviving Tax Representations shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and, provided, further, that the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement to be performed on or after the Closing shall survive the Closing for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, or indefinitely if no term is stated, except that breaches of any such covenants or agreements shall survive until the latest date permitted by Law. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties by a purported Indemnified Party to the purported Indemnifying Party, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

Section 11.02 Expenses. Each Party shall be responsible for its own legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking, financial advisory, brokerage, tax and other fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation and execution of the this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction.

Section 11.04 Public Announcements. No Party nor any Affiliate or Representative of such Party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as may be required by Law or stock exchange rules (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), in which case the Party required to issue or publish such press release or public announcement shall allow the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such issuance or publication, to the extent practicable.

Section 11.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transaction be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in Sections 9.03 and 11.12 be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a Person’s liability under any of the Transaction Agreements.

Section 11.06 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement of BHGE LLC, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements and supersede all prior agreements, undertakings and understandings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of BHGE LLC, the other Sellers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements. The Term Sheet, dated as of November 13, 2018 and attached as Exhibit C to the Master Agreement among BHGE Parent, BHGE LLC and GE, and the obligations with respect to that Term Sheet under Sections 5.01 and 5.04 of the Master Agreement, are hereby terminated, effective immediately.

Section 11.07 Assignment. No Party shall assign this Agreement or the rights and obligations hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, other than to its Affiliate, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that no assignment to (A) any Affiliate other than the entity or entities that owns or own the GE steam power business or any other entity that is guaranteed by such entity or (B) a non-Affiliate, in either case, shall release either Party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.07 shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Section 11.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article X (with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties) and Sections 11.14 and 11.15 (with respect to the parties identified therein), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of either Party, their respective Affiliates or the IST Business, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall be treated as an amendment to any particular Employee Plan or other benefit plan, scheme or arrangement.

Section 11.09 Amendment; Extension; Waiver.

(a) No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, including any Exhibits or Schedules hereto or thereto, may be amended, supplemented or modified except by a written instrument making specific reference hereto or thereto and signed by all the parties to such agreement.

(b) At any time prior to the Closing, either Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any breaches of or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such waiver of compliance with such covenants, agreements or conditions shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party granting such extension or waiver. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the

provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

Section 11.10 Governing Law, Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement (and any Actions that may be based upon, arise out of or relate hereto or thereto, to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, or to the inducement of any Party to enter herein or therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of New York, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case, without reference to any conflict of Law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction and without the requirement to establish commercial nexus in New York.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in ‎Section 2.08, in the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Parties shall finally settle such dispute under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules of Arbitration”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be New York, New York.

Section 11.11 Bulk Sales Laws. The Buyer and BHGE LLC each hereby waive compliance by the Sellers with the provisions of the “bulk sales”, “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the United States, including Article 6 of the New York Commercial Code, that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any of the IST Assets to the Buyer.

Section 11.12 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the breach or violation of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Party and that neither Party will have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the obligations of BHGE LLC under this Agreement, including its obligation to sell or cause the Sellers to sell, as applicable, the IST Assets and Equity Interests and assign the IST Liabilities, as applicable, to the Buyer, and the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement, including the Buyer’s obligation to purchase and acquire the IST Assets and Equity Interests from BHGE LLC and the other Sellers, as applicable, and assume the IST Liabilities from BHGE LLC and the Asset Sellers, as applicable, shall be, prior to any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, enforceable by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.

Section 11.13 Counterparts. Each of the Transaction Agreements may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties to each such agreement in separate counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart

of a signature page to any Transaction Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 11.14 Non-Recourse. All rights, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as the Parties in the preamble to this Agreement or, solely for the limited purposes set forth in the last sentence of Section 11.06, BHGE Parent and GE (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person that is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at Law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements.

Section 11.15 GENERAL RELEASE AND DISCHARGE.

(a) EFFECTIVE AS OF THE CLOSING, BHGE LLC, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER SELLERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, HEREBY RELEASES AND DISCHARGES GEOG M&I AND THE IST BUSINESS AND, IN EACH CASE, EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS AND AGENTS, FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION AND WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, RIGHTS AND BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH LOSSES AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON, AND AGREES NOT TO BRING OR THREATEN TO BRING OR OTHERWISE JOIN IN ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON, IN EACH CASE, RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY RIGHTS THAT BHGE LLC OR ANY OTHER SELLER NOW HAS, OR AT ANY TIME PREVIOUSLY HAD, OR SHALL OR MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE AS AN OWNER OF GEOG M&I OR THE IST BUSINESS OR, IN THE CASE OF THE IST EMPLOYEES, AS AN EMPLOYER (EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF THE IST EMPLOYEES, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER WHICH WOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL LAW), IN EACH CASE, DURING THE BHGE OWNERSHIP PERIOD. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT APPLY TO AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A RELEASE OF ANY RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT.

(b) EFFECTIVE AS OF THE CLOSING, BHGE PARENT, ON BEHALF OF THE SELLERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, HEREBY RELEASES GE AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ALL RESTRICTIONS ON THE CONDUCT OF THE IST BUSINESS, AS CONDUCTED ON THE DATE HEREOF, FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, NOTWITHSTANDING THE CONTENT OF ANY CONTRACT (OTHER THAN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS) BETWEEN GE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (ON THE ONE HAND) AND BHGE PARENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (ON THE OTHER HAND); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, EXCEPT AS AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CROSS LICENSE AMENDMENT (AND WITHOUT LIMITING ANY LICENSES UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS), NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL (I) EXPAND OR OTHERWISE ALTER THE SCOPE OR FIELD OF USE OF ANY RIGHTS OR LICENSES GRANTED BY BHGE PARENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO GE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES UNDER ANY CONTRACT OR (II) NARROW OR LIMIT ANY RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON, OR OBLIGATIONS OF, GE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES RELATING TO ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR LICENSES.
