all of the following (regardless of when or where such Benefit Liabilities arose

and their dependents and beneficiaries, to the extent relating to, arising out
of or resulting from future, present or former employment with Water Pik or a
Water Pik Entity (including Benefit Liabilities under ATI Plans and Water Pik

<PAGE> 9
resulting from the imposition of withdrawal liability under Subtitle E of Title
IV of ERISA as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal of any ATI Entity
from a "multiemployer plan" within the meaning of ERISA Section 4021 which
occurs solely as a result of the Separation or the Distribution; and (v) all
other Benefit Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from
obligations, liabilities and responsibilities expressly assumed or retained by

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Water Pik does not assume or
agree to pay, perform, fulfill or discharge any Benefit Liabilities relating to,
arising out of or resulting from the Teledyne Savings and Retirement Supplement
Plan.
2.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF WATER PIK PLANS. Effective prior to or within a
reasonable time after the Distribution Date, Water Pik shall adopt, or cause to
be adopted, the amended Teledyne 401(k) Plan for the period between the
Distribution Date and April 1, 2000, the Water Pik Stock Purchase Plan, the
Water Pik Health and Welfare Plans, and the Water Pik Executive Benefit Plans
for the benefit of the Water Pik Individuals and other current and future
employees of Water Pik and the Water Pik Entities; provided, however, that Water
Pik may, in its sole discretion, elect not to adopt or establish the Plan or
Plans listed in Schedule 2.2(a). Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1
regarding the Water Pik 401(k) Plan, or as otherwise may be set forth in
Schedule 2.2(b), the foregoing Water Pik Plans shall be substantially identical
in all Material Features to the corresponding ATI Plans as in effect as of the

Directors. The Water Pik Non-Employee Director Plans shall be substantially
similar in all Material Features to the corresponding ATI Non-Employee Director
Plans as in effect on the Distribution Date. No later than April 1, 2000, Water
Pik shall adopt the Water Pik 401(k) Plan and its related trust, which Water Pik
401(k) Plan shall provide for employer contributions, independent of employee
contributions and expressed as a rate of participant compensation, determined
appropriate by Water Pik in its sole discretion in light of Water Pik's choice
not to sponsor a defined benefit plan.
2.3 TERMS OF PARTICIPATION BY WATER PIK INDIVIDUALS IN WATER PIK PLANS.
The Water Pik Plans shall be, with respect to Water Pik Individuals, in all
respects the successors in interest to, and shall not provide benefits that
duplicate benefits provided by, the corresponding ATI Plans. ATI and Water Pik
shall agree on methods and procedures, including amending the respective Plan
documents and/or requesting approvals or consents of Water Pik Individuals where
the parties deem appropriate, to prevent Water Pik Individuals from receiving
duplicative benefits from the ATI Plans and the Water Pik Plans. With respect to
Water Pik Individuals, each Water Pik Plan shall provide that all service, all
compensation and all other benefit-affecting determinations that, as of the
Close of the Distribution Date, were recognized under the corresponding ATI Plan
shall, as of Immediately After the Distribution Date, receive full recognition,
credit, and validity and be taken into account under such Water Pik Plan to the
same extent as if such items occurred under such Water Pik Plan, except to the
extent that duplication of benefits would result. The provisions of this
Agreement for the transfer of assets from certain trusts relating to ATI Plans
(including Foreign Plans) to the corresponding trusts relating to Water Pik
Plans (including Foreign Plans) are based upon the understanding of the parties
that each such Water Pik Plan will assume all Benefit Liabilities of the
corresponding ATI
6
<PAGE> 10
Plan to or relating to Water Pik Individuals, as provided for herein. If any
such Benefit Liabilities are not effectively assumed by the appropriate Water
Pik Plan, then the amount of assets transferred to the trust relating to such
Water Pik Plan from the trust relating to the corresponding ATI Plan shall be
recomputed as set forth below, but taking into account the retention of such
Benefit Liabilities by such ATI Plan, and assets shall be transferred by the
trust relating to such Water Pik Plan to the trust relating to such ATI Plan so
as to place each such trust in the position it would have been in, had the
initial asset transfer been made in accordance with such recomputed amount of
assets.
ARTICLE III
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

the dates under Section 3.2, the accrued benefits with respect to Water Pik

times and under the same terms and conditions as applicable to benefits accrued

who are eligible to commence receipt of benefits under the ATI Pension Plan may,
in their respective discretion, apply at any time after the applicable date
described above to commence benefits to the extent then payable and subject to
the terms and conditions of the ATI Pension Plan. The Distribution Date does

limitations, but Water Pik shall continue to be responsible for all Benefit
Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from such ongoing
treatments as of the Close of the Distribution Date.
5.2 VENDOR CONTRACTS.
(a) THIRD-PARTY ASO CONTRACTS.
(i) ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to amend each
administrative services only contract with a third-party administrator

Contract") in existence as of the date of this Agreement to permit
Water Pik to participate in the terms and conditions of such ASO
Contract from Immediately After the Distribution Date until December
31, 2000. ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause all ASO
Contracts into which ATI enters after the date of this Agreement but
before the Close of the Distribution Date to allow Water Pik to
participate in the terms and conditions thereof effective Immediately
After the Distribution Date on the same basis as ATI.
(ii) ATI shall have the right to determine, and shall promptly
notify Water Pik of, the manner in which Water Pik's participation in
the terms and conditions of ASO Contracts as set forth above shall be
effectuated. The permissible ways in which Water Pik's participation
may be effectuated include automatically making Water Pik a party to
the ASO Contracts or obligating the third party to enter into a
separate ASO Contract with Water Pik providing for the same terms and
conditions as are contained in the ASO Contracts to which ATI is a
party (or such other arrangement as to which ATI and Water Pik shall
mutually agree). Such terms and conditions shall include the financial
and termination provisions, performance standards, methodology,
auditing policies, quality measures, reporting requirements and target
claims. Water Pik hereby authorizes ATI to act on its behalf to extend
to Water Pik the terms and conditions of the ASO Contracts. Water Pik

perform any act, including discussing any alternative arrangements with
any third party, that would prejudice ATI's efforts.

(i) This Section 5.2(b) applies to group insurance policies
not subject to allocation or transfer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Article V ("Group Insurance Policies").
(ii) ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to amend each Group

until December 31, 2000. ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause
all Group Insurance Policies into which ATI enters or which ATI renews
after the date of this Agreement but before the Close of the
Distribution Date to allow Water Pik to participate in the terms
10
<PAGE> 14
and conditions thereof effective Immediately After the Distribution
Date on the same basis as ATI.
(iii) Water Pik's participation in the terms and conditions of
each such Group Insurance Policy shall be effectuated by obligating the
insurance company that issued such insurance policy to ATI to issue one
or more separate policies to Water Pik. Such terms and conditions shall
include the financial and termination provisions, performance standards
and target claims. Water Pik hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
authorizes ATI to act on its behalf to extend to Water Pik the terms
and conditions of such Group Insurance Policies. Water Pik shall fully
cooperate with ATI in such efforts, and Water Pik shall not perform any
act, including discussing any alternative arrangements with third
parties, that would prejudice ATI's efforts.
(c) HMO AGREEMENTS.
(i) Before the Distribution Date, ATI shall use its Reasonable
Efforts to amend all letter agreements with HMOs that provide medical
services under the ATI Medical Plans for 1999 ("HMO Agreements") in
existence as of the date of this Agreement to permit Water Pik to
participate in the terms and conditions of such HMO Agreements, in each
case, from Immediately After the Distribution Date until December 31,
2000. ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause all HMO Agreements
into which ATI enters after the date of this Agreement but before the

terms and conditions of such HMO Agreements from Immediately After the
Distribution Date until December 31, 2000 on the same basis as ATI.
(ii) ATI shall have the right to determine, and shall promptly
notify Water Pik of, the manner in which Water Pik's participation in
the terms and conditions of all HMO Agreements as set forth above shall
be effectuated. The permissible ways in which Water Pik's participation
may be effectuated include automatically making Water Pik a party to
the HMO Agreements or obligating the HMOs to enter into letter
agreements with Water Pik which are identical to the HMO Agreements (or
such other arrangements as to which ATI and Water Pik shall mutually
agree). Such terms and conditions shall include the financial and
termination provisions of the HMO Agreements. Water Pik hereby
authorizes ATI to act on its behalf to extend to Water Pik the terms
and conditions of the HMO Agreements. Water Pik shall fully cooperate
with ATI in such efforts, and Water Pik shall not perform any act,
including discussing any alternative arrangements with any third-party,
that would prejudice ATI's efforts.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the
contrary, Water Pik shall have the sole discretion to determine which
HMOs to offer to the participants in the Water Pik Health and Welfare
Plans for 2001 and subsequent years, and all HMO Agreements in which
Water Pik participates pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall provide

in this Article V to "Water Pik" shall include a reference to a Water Pik Entity

self-insured entity for the purposes of one or more Water Pik Health and Welfare

Water Pik Entity, Water Pik shall be responsible to ATI for ensuring that the
Water Pik Entity complies with the applicable terms of this Agreement and the
Water Pik Individuals allocated to such Water Pik Entity shall have the same

Water Pik Entity.

6.3 ATI 1999 BONUS PLAN. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.4(a)(ii)(B), Water Pik shall be responsible for determining, with respect to
all Awards that would otherwise be payable under any bonus Plan or arrangement
to Water Pik Individuals for the 1999 performance year, (a) the extent to which
established performance criteria (as interpreted by Water Pik, in its sole
discretion, after taking into account the effects of the Distribution) have been
met and (b) the payment level for each Water Pik Individual.
6.4 ATI INCENTIVE PLANS. ATI and Water Pik shall use their Reasonable
Efforts to take all actions necessary or appropriate so that each outstanding
Award granted under any ATI Incentive Plan held by any Water Pik Individual
shall be determined, converted or replaced, as the case may be, as set forth in
this Section 6.4 with an Award under the Water Pik Incentive Plan.
(a) WATER PIK INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES OF WATER PIK.
(i) STOCK OPTIONS. Water Pik shall cause each ATI Option that
is outstanding as of the Close of the Distribution Date and is held by
a Water Pik Individual to be converted, effective Immediately After the
Distribution Date, to a Water Pik Option (a "Converted Option"). Such
Converted Option shall provide for the option to purchase a number of
shares of Water Pik Common Stock equal to the number of shares of ATI
Common Stock subject to such ATI Option as of the Close of the
Distribution Date, multiplied by the Ratio, and then rounded up to the
nearest whole share. The per-share exercise price of such Converted
Option shall equal the per-share exercise price of such ATI Option as
of the Close of the Distribution Date divided by the Ratio. Each such
Converted Option shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as
were applicable to the corresponding ATI Option as of the Close of the
Distribution Date, except that references to ATI and its Affiliates
shall be amended to refer to Water Pik and its Affiliates.
(ii) PERFORMANCE AWARDS.
(A) The current performance period under the ATI
Performance Share Program is the three-year period commencing
on January 1, 1998. Either prior to or within a reasonable
time after the Distribution Date, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6.4(a)(ii)(B), the applicable ATI
Performance Award under the ATI Performance Share Program
shall be determined by ATI with respect to each Water Pik
Individual for the period from January 1, 1998 through the
Distribution Date. Effective Immediately After the
Distribution Date, Water Pik and the Water Pik Entities shall
assume and be solely responsible for all Benefit Liabilities
to or relating to Water Pik Individuals with respect to the
administration and distribution of Performance Awards to such
Water Pik Individuals.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3,
the ATI Personnel and Compensation Committee or the Stock
Incentive Award Subcommittee, as the case may be, shall
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, with respect
to
16
<PAGE> 20
each Water Pik Individual, the extent to which, as of the
Distribution Date, such Individual has achieved target
performance levels established under the ATI Performance Share
Program and the appropriate Performance Award for such
Individual based upon such performance. The Performance Award
so determined shall be pro-rated by multiplying the
Performance Award determined under the preceding sentence by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the number
of months from and including January 1, 1998 to the month in
which the Distribution Date occurs and the denominator of
which shall be 36. The Performance Award as determined
hereunder shall be distributed by Water Pik and the Water Pik
Entities to the applicable Water Pik Individual as provided
under the terms of the Performance Share Program; provided,
however, that any ATI Common Stock allocated or otherwise
awarded to a Water Pik Individual as part of a Performance
Award under the provisions of this Section 6.4(a)(ii) shall,
prior to any distribution to such Individual and, in any
event, no later than Immediately After the Distribution Date,
be converted into Water Pik Common Stock by multiplying the
number of shares of ATI Common Stock subject to such
Performance Award by an appropriate ratio, as determined by
ATI's Board of Directors or an applicable Committee thereof
and then rounding up the product to the nearest whole share.
(iii) SARP. As of the Distribution Date, all shares of ATI
Common Stock issued and outstanding held by a Water Pik Individual
under the ATI SARP as Designated Stock or Purchased Stock (as those
terms are defined in the ATI SARP) shall continue to be so held, and
the shares of Water Pik Common Stock received by Water Pik Individuals
in respect of their Purchased Stock and Designated Stock pursuant to
the distribution terms of Article III of the Separation and
Distribution Agreement and the shares of Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated Common Stock received by Water Pik Individuals in respect
of their Purchased Stock and Designated Stock as a result of the
spin-off of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated by ATI to ATI's
stockholders shall also be considered Designated Stock or Purchased
Stock, as the case may be, subject to the terms of the ATI SARP.
Effective Immediately After the Distribution Date, Water Pik shall
assume all Benefit Liabilities to or relating to Water Pik Individuals
under the ATI SARP relating to the Restricted Stock (as that term is
defined in the ATI SARP), but ATI shall retain all promissory notes
payable by participants into the ATI SARP, including Water Pik
Individuals, to the order of ATI, and the collateral with respect to
such notes shall include all shares of ATI Common Stock that were
pledged as collateral for purposes of the ATI SARP immediately prior to
the Distribution Date as well as the shares of Water Pik Common Stock
and Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Common Stock issued in respect
of such shares of ATI Common Stock held as collateral. Effective
Immediately After the Distribution Date, pursuant to the terms of the
ATI SARP, all Water Pik Individuals holding awards of Restricted Stock
under the ATI SARP as of the Distribution Date shall receive, without
any further action on their part and in substitution for all shares of
Restricted Stock held immediately prior to the Distribution Date by
such Water Pik Individuals under the ATI SARP, a number of shares of
Water Pik Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares
of ATI Common Stock that are held
17
<PAGE> 21
immediately prior to the Distribution Date as Restricted Stock under
the ATI SARP by an appropriate ratio, as determined by ATI's Board of
Directors or an applicable Committee thereof then rounding the product
up to the nearest whole share, and such shares of Water Pik Common
Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of ATI
Common Stock prior to the conversion.
(b) WATER PIK INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES OF WATER PIK.
Each outstanding Award that is held by an individual who, as of the Close of the
Distribution Date, would otherwise be a Water Pik Individual but is not an
active employee of or on leave of absence from Water Pik or a Water Pik Entity
shall remain outstanding Immediately After the Distribution Date in accordance
with its terms as applicable as of the Close of the Distribution Date, subject
to such adjustments as may be applicable to outstanding Awards held by
individuals who remain active employees of or on leave of absence from ATI or an
ATI Entity after the Distribution Date.
6.5 ATI NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAMS.
(a) ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES AND TRANSFER OF ASSETS. Subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, effective Immediately After the Distribution Date,

ATI's sole discretion, (i) transfer an amount in cash equal to the cash
surrender value of such policies or (ii) cause the transfer, either by
assignment or any other reasonable means, to Water Pik of Corporate-Owned Life
Insurance Policies on the lives of such Water Pik Individuals and such other
employees or former employees of ATI or its subsidiaries as ATI may, in its sole
discretion select, or any portion thereof, having in the aggregate a cash
surrender value equal to the amount of any Benefit Liabilities for Water Pik
Individuals under the Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan.
(b) CORPORATE-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE. ATI and Water Pik shall take all
actions necessary to replicate the manner in which ATI has heretofore held
Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, and executing or accepting delivery of
any assignments reasonably requested by either party or any insurance company
insuring one or more lives under the Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to assign those Policies insuring Water
Pik Individuals to Water Pik, effective Immediately After the Distribution Date.
If a Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policy is so assigned to Water Pik, Water
Pik shall assume and be solely responsible for all Benefit Liabilities, and
shall be entitled to all benefits, thereunder, effective as of the earlier of
(i) the Close of the Distribution Date and (ii) the date of such assignment. ATI
and Water Pik shall continue, liquidate and/or administer such Corporate-Owned
Life Insurance Policies on terms and conditions agreed to by ATI and
Water Pik. ATI and Water Pik shall share all information that may be necessary
to identify the individuals insured by
18
<PAGE> 22
the Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies owned by ATI and/or Water Pik and to
determine when and whether such individuals are deceased.
6.6 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR BENEFITS. The parties intend that all Water
Pik Non-Employee Directors who were ATI Non-Employee Directors prior to the
Distribution Date may continue to serve as ATI Non-Employee Directors. In
furtherance of such intention, ATI shall retain all Benefit Liabilities with
respect to the services of its Non-Employee Directors under the ATI Non-Employee
Director Plans accrued as of the Distribution Date. Water Pik assumes no Benefit
Liabilities under the ATI Non-Employee Director Plans.
6.7 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. No provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed to release any individual for a violation of any
agreement or policy pertaining to confidential or proprietary information of ATI
or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise relieve any individual of his or her
obligations under any such agreement or policy.
ARTICLE VII
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
7.1 INTERIM SERVICES AGREEMENT. Effective on or before the Distribution

coordination of and payment for transition services to be provided by ATI

shall be incorporated by reference in this Agreement and shall become a part of
this Agreement.
7.2 PAYMENT OF LIABILITIES, PLAN EXPENSES AND RELATED MATTERS.
(a) ACTUARIAL AND ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS. For
purposes of this Agreement, unless specifically indicated otherwise: (i) all
actuarial methodologies and assumptions used for a particular Plan shall (except
to the extent otherwise determined by ATI and Water Pik to be reasonable or
necessary) be substantially the same as those used in the actuarial valuation of
that Plan used to determine minimum funding requirements under ERISA Section 302
and Code Section 412(c) for 1999, or, if such Plan is not subject to such
minimum funding requirements, the assumptions used to prepare ATI's audited
financial statements for 1999, as the case may be; and (ii) the value of plan
assets shall be the value established by ATI for purposes of audited financial
statements of the relevant plan or trust for the period ending on the date as of
which the valuation is to be made. Except as otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement or as required by law, all determinations as to the amount or
valuation of any assets of or relating to any ATI Plan (whether or not such
assets are being transferred to a Water Pik Plan) shall be made by ATI in its
sole and absolute discretion and such determination shall be final and binding
on all parties.
(b) PAYMENT OF LIABILITIES; DETERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE STATUS. Water Pik
shall pay directly, or reimburse ATI promptly for, all Benefit Liabilities
assumed by it
19
<PAGE> 23
pursuant to this Agreement, including all compensation payable to Water Pik
Individuals for services rendered while in the employ of ATI or an ATI Entity
before becoming a Water Pik Individual (to the extent not charged for pursuant
to Section 7.1 or another Ancillary Agreement). To the extent the amount of such
Benefit Liabilities is not yet determinable because the status of individuals as
Water Pik Individuals is not yet determined, except as otherwise specified
herein or in another Ancillary Agreement with respect to particular Benefit
Liabilities, Water Pik shall make such payments or reimbursements based upon
ATI's reasonable estimates of the amounts thereof, and when such status is
determined, Water Pik shall make additional reimbursements or payments, or ATI
shall reimburse Water Pik, to the extent necessary to reflect the actual amount
of such Benefit Liabilities. In determining the number of individuals in any
particular group of employees described in this Agreement (such as "Water Pik
Individuals"), no individual shall be counted twice. Determinations of what
entity employs or employed a particular individual shall be made by reference to
the applicable legal entity and/or other appropriate accounting code, to the
extent possible.

ATI shall cause each applicable ATI Entity to share, and Water Pik shall cause

and the Water Pik Plans. ATI and Water Pik and their respective authorized
agents shall, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality, be given reasonable
and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information relating to the
subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the other party, to the extent
necessary for such administration. Until December 31, 2000, all participant
information shall be provided in a manner and medium that is compatible with the

related summaries of material modification, summary annual reports, investment

where applicable.

provision of this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall
be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation
or benefit whatsoever on the part of any Water Pik Individual or other future,
present or former employee of ATI, an ATI Entity, Water Pik, or a Water Pik
Entity under any ATI Plan or Water Pik Plan or otherwise. Without limiting the

not cause any employee to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment
which entitles such individual to the commencement of benefits under any of the

except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude Water Pik, at any time after the Close of the Distribution Date, from
amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise
altering in any respect any Water Pik Plan, any benefit under any Plan or any
trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Water Pik Plan unless
such change could or will increase the obligations of ATI or any ATI Entity
under any Plan or agreement.
7.6 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. All beneficiary designations made by
Water Pik Individuals for ATI Plans shall be transferred to and be in full force
and effect under the corresponding Water Pik Plans until such beneficiary
designations are replaced or revoked by the Water Pik Individual who made the
beneficiary designation.
7.7 REQUESTS FOR IRS RULINGS AND DOL OPINIONS. Water Pik shall
cooperate fully with ATI on any issue relating to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement for which ATI elects to seek a determination letter or private

contemplated by this Agreement.
7.8 FIDUCIARY MATTERS. ATI and Water Pik each acknowledges that actions
required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary
duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable law, and no party
shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with
any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination that to do so
would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard.
7.9 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. To the extent any provision of this
Agreement is contrary to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement
to which ATI or any Affiliate of ATI is a party, the terms of such collective
bargaining agreement shall prevail. Should any provisions of this Agreement be
deemed to relate to a topic determined by an appropriate authority to be a
mandatory subject of collective bargaining, ATI or Water Pik may be obligated to
bargain with the union representing affected employees concerning those
subjects. Neither party will agree to a modification of any collective
bargaining agreement without the consent of the other.
7.10 CONSENT OF THIRD PARTIES. If any provision of this Agreement is
dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor or a union) and
such consent is withheld, ATI and Water Pik shall use their Reasonable Efforts
to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent
practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the
failure of such third party to consent, ATI and Water Pik shall negotiate in
good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.

harmless ATI, each ATI Entity and each of their respective directors, officers
