BMS’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective rights, titles and interests in all MJN Assets, other than the Excluded Assets and the Delayed Transfer Assets. 
 (b) On the Separation Date, MJN shall assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy, discharge or otherwise defend on a timely basis all of the MJN Liabilities other than the Excluded Liabilities and the Delayed Transfer

(iii) when, where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined, (iv) whether asserted or determined on, prior to or subsequent to the Separation Date, or (v) whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence,

 (c) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Delayed Transfer Assets, including the Assets set forth or
described in Schedule 2.01(c)(i), will be contributed, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, and the Delayed Transfer Liabilities, including the Liabilities set forth or described in Schedule 2.01(c)(ii), will be accepted and
assumed, in accordance with the terms of the agreements that provide for such contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery, or such acceptance or assumption, after the Separation Date or as otherwise set forth on

Delayed Transfer Liability shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as an MJN Asset or an MJN Liability, as the case may be. 
 (d) On and after the Separation Date, BMS shall make available to the MJN Group the benefits and rights under each BMS Shared Contract to the extent such benefits and rights have historically been and currently are
provided to the Mead Johnson Business; provided, however, that (i) no Person in the MJN Group shall take any action, or refrain from taking any action, if (A) such action or inaction is reasonably likely to or does result in
a breach on the part of any Person in the BMS Group under any BMS Shared Contract and (B) such Person in the MJN Group would otherwise be obligated to take or not take such action under the BMS Shared Contract had such Person become severally
liable under the BMS Shared Contract on the Separation Date, (ii) each Person in the MJN Group shall cooperate with BMS and, at BMS’s request, take such actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure that BMS is able to

(y) related to the benefits and rights made available to the MJN Group under such BMS Shared Contract, such Shared Contract Liabilities shall be, as between BMS and MJN, the responsibility of MJN. It is understood that, unless otherwise
mutually agreed, there will not be a novation or assignment of the Shared Contract Liabilities and that MJN shall perform its obligations hereunder by taking all such actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure that the BMS is able to
perform all of the obligations constituting Shared Contract Liabilities under each BMS Shared Contract.

Contract and (B) such Person in the BMS Group would otherwise be obligated to take or not take such action under the MJN Shared Contract had such Person become severally liable under the MJN Shared Contract on the Separation Date,

 17 








 
extent any Liability under an MJN Shared Contract is either (x) specifically allocated to the BMS Group or (y) related to the benefits and rights
made available to the BMS Group under such MJN Shared Contract, such MJN Shared Contract Liabilities shall be, as between BMS and MJN, the responsibility of BMS. It is understood that, unless otherwise mutually agreed, there will not be a novation
or assignment of the MJN Shared Contract Liabilities and that BMS shall perform its obligations hereunder by taking all such actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure that MJN is able to perform all of the obligations constituting
Shared Contract Liabilities under each MJN Shared Contract.

promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset to the Person so entitled thereto. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such Asset shall hold such Asset in trust for any such other Person.

hereof, would have otherwise been classified as an MJN Asset. No Asset shall be deemed to be an MJN Asset solely as a result of this clause (v) if such Asset is within the category or type of 

  

 18

 SECTION 2.05. Documents Relating to Other Transfers of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. In

and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to the MJN Assets to MJN, and (ii) MJN shall execute and deliver, to BMS and shall cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, stock powers, certificates of

to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the MJN Liabilities by MJN. 
 SECTION 2.06. Other Ancillary Agreements. On or prior
to the Separation Date, except as provided in Section 2.07, each of BMS and MJN will execute and deliver all Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party. 
 SECTION 2.07. The Non-U.S. Plan. Each of BMS and MJN shall take, and shall cause each Person in its respective Group to take, all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Non-U.S. Plan (whether on, prior to or after the Separation Date). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to receive or retain any Asset
unless such party shall have paid any consideration contemplated to be paid by it in connection therewith pursuant to the Non-U.S. Plan. 
 SECTION 2.08. Representations and Warranties. (a) Each of BMS (on behalf of itself and each Person in the BMS Group) and MJN (on behalf of itself and each Person in the MJN Group) understands and agrees that, except as expressly
set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, no party to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, is representing or warranting in any way,
express or implied, as to the Assets, businesses or Liabilities transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby or thereby, as to any Consents required in connection therewith, as to the value or freedom from any Liens of, or any other matter
concerning, any Assets of such party, or as to the absence of any defenses or right of setoff or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any claim or other Asset, including any accounts receivable, of any party, or as to the legal sufficiency of
any assignment, document or instrument delivered hereunder to convey title to any Asset or thing of value upon the execution, delivery and filing hereof or thereof. Except as may expressly be set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, all such
Assets are being transferred on an “as is”, “where is” basis (and, in the case of any real property, by means of a quitclaim or similar form deed or conveyance) and the respective transferees shall bear the economic and legal
risks that (i) any conveyance 

  

 23 








 
shall prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of any Lien, and (ii) any necessary Consents or
Governmental Approvals are not obtained or that any requirements of laws or judgments are not complied with. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing Section 2.08(a), BMS represents and warrants and agrees with MJN that as of the Separation Date: 
 (i) The IPO
Registration Statement, when it became effective, did not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading based upon information relating to BMS furnished to MJN in writing by BMS expressly for use therein. 
 (ii) All material federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed by MJN and its “significant subsidiaries”, as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act (each, a
“Significant Subsidiary”), through the Separation Date have been filed and all taxes shown on such returns have been paid. All material taxes due or claimed to be due from MJN and its Significant Subsidiaries have been paid, other
than taxes currently payable without penalty or interest and taxes being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and in, each case, for which adequate reserves have been established on the books and records of MJN and its Significant
Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. No material tax deficiency has been proposed, asserted or, to the knowledge of BMS, threatened against MJN or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties or assets. 
 (iii) Each employee benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that is maintained, administered or contributed to by BMS for employees or former employees of MJN has to BMS’s knowledge been maintained in material compliance with its terms
and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code; no prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has
occurred with respect to any such plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption; and for each such plan that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no
“accumulated funding deficiency” as defined in Section 412 of the Code has been incurred, whether or not waived. 
 SECTION
2.09. Financing Arrangements. (a) Prior to or concurrently with the Closing Date, BMS agrees to cause ERS to forgive $250,000,000 of the Existing Note, and MJN agrees to cause MJC to issue the Intercompany Notes by amending and restating
the Existing Note. MJN and BMS agree to cause MJC and ERS, as the case 

  

 24 








 
may be, to take all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the issuance of the Intercompany Notes. MJN will pay all fees and
expenses associated with the Intercompany Notes. 
 (b) To the extent the net proceeds from the IPO are insufficient to fully repay the
foreign intercompany notes as described in the IPO Registration Statement, BMS agrees to make a cash contribution to MJN in an amount equal to the shortfall prior to or concurrently with this offering. 
 (c) Prior to or concurrently with the Closing Date, MJN intends to enter into the Revolving Credit Facility. MJN and BMS agree to take all commercially
reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility. MJN will pay all fees and expenses associated with the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 SECTION 2.10. Governmental Approvals and Consents. (a) To the extent that the Separation requires any Governmental Approvals or Consents, the
parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Governmental Approvals and Consents. 
 (b) If and to the extent
that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the MJN Group of any MJN Assets would be a violation of applicable laws or require any Consent or Governmental Approval in connection with the Separation or the IPO, then, unless BMS
shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the MJN Group of such MJN Assets shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments
are removed and such Consents or Governmental Approvals have been obtained and the failure to so transfer or assign any such MJN Assets shall not be a breach of the obligations of BMS pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such Asset shall be deemed an MJN Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is an MJN Liability. 
 (c) If the
transfer or assignment of any MJN Assets intended to be transferred or assigned hereunder including pursuant to the Non-U.S. Plan, is not consummated on the Separation Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.10(b) or for any
other reason, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to compliance with Section 2.12(b) by the Person to whom the MJN Asset was to be transferred, the Person in the BMS Group retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold such
Asset for the use and benefit insofar as reasonably possible, of the Person entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto). In addition, the Person in the BMS Group retaining such MJN Asset shall take such other actions as may be
reasonably requested by the Person to whom such MJN Asset is to be transferred in order to place such Person, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such MJN Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the
benefits and burdens relating to such MJN Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain and dominion, control and command over such Assets, are to inure from and after the Separation Date to the MJN Group. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if following a 

  

 25 








 
request from BMS, MJN fails to discharge any due and outstanding MJN Liability related to an MJN Asset being held by a Person in the BMS Group, or otherwise
fails to reasonably assure BMS that such MJN Liability will be promptly discharged, then such Person in the BMS Group, in addition to any other rights and remedies BMS may have hereunder, shall no longer be required to hold such MJN Asset for the
benefit of MJN and, subject to Section 2.10(d), may retain such MJN Asset for its own use and benefit. 
 (d) If and when the Consents
and Governmental Approvals, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any MJN Asset pursuant to Section 2.10(b), are obtained, the transfer of the applicable MJN Asset shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that MJN has satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 2.12(b). 
 (e) The Person in the
BMS Group retaining an MJN Asset due to the deferral of the transfer of such MJN Asset shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced by the Person entitled to the MJN Asset,
other than non-material out-of-pocket administrative expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees reasonably necessary to protect the value of an MJN Asset and where, due to time sensitivity, it is not practicable to first seek
advancement of such funds. Such amounts shall be promptly reimbursed by MJN or the Person in the MJN Group entitled to such MJN Asset. 
 SECTION 2.11. Novation of Assumed MJN Liabilities. (a) Each of BMS and MJN, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or
amendment required to novate or assign to the applicable Person in the MJN Group all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute MJN Liabilities (other than any MJN
Liability that constitutes a Shared Contract Liability), or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any Person in the MJN Group, so that, in any such case, MJN and its Subsidiaries will be solely
responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that neither BMS nor MJN shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom such consents, approvals, substitutions, amendments and releases are
requested; provided further, however, that any legal fees or other administrative costs associated with obtaining such consents, approvals, substitution, amendments and releases shall be borne by MJN. Without limiting the foregoing,
MJN shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign to the applicable person in the MJN Group all obligations or Liabilities of any
nature whatsoever under the ISDA Master Agreement dated as of January 11, 2008, between BMS and Citibank, N.A. or other hedging agreements that constitute MJN Liabilities. 
 (b) If BMS or MJN is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, the
applicable Person in the BMS Group shall continue to be bound by such agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations that constitute MJN Liabilities and, unless not permitted by law or the terms thereof, MJN shall, as agent or subcontractor for
BMS or such other Person, as 

  

 26 








 
the case may be, pay, perform and discharge fully all such obligations or other Liabilities of BMS or such other Person that constitute MJN Liabilities, as
the case may be, thereunder from and after the Separation Date. MJN shall indemnify each BMS Indemnitee, and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities arising in connection therewith. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.10(c),
BMS shall, without further consideration, pay or remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to MJN promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any Person in its respective Group in respect of such performance. If and when any
such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, BMS shall thereafter assign, or cause to be
assigned, all its rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of any Person in its Group to MJN without payment of further consideration and MJN shall, without the payment of any further consideration, assume
such rights and obligations. 
 SECTION 2.12. Novation of Assumed Liabilities other than MJN Liabilities. (a) Each of BMS and
MJN, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses
and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that do not constitute MJN Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any Person in the BMS Group, so that, in any such
case, the Persons in the BMS Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that neither BMS nor MJN shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom such consents, approvals,
substitutions and amendments are requested; provided further, however, that any legal fees or other administrative costs associated with obtaining such consents, approvals, substitution and amendments shall be borne by BMS. 

(b) If BMS or MJN is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, the
applicable Person in the MJN Group shall continue to be bound by such agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations and, unless not permitted by law or the terms thereof, BMS shall cause a Person in the BMS Group, as agent or subcontractor for
such Person in the MJN Group, to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Person in the MJN Group thereunder from and after the Separation Date. BMS shall indemnify each MJN Indemnitee and hold each of them
harmless against any Liabilities arising in connection therewith. MJN shall cause each Person in the MJN Group without further consideration, to pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to BMS or to another Person in the BMS Group specified
by BMS promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any Person in the MJN Group in respect of such performance. If and when any such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement,
lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, MJN shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of
any Person in the MJN Group to BMS or to another Person in the BMS Group specified by BMS without payment of further consideration and BMS, without the payment of any further consideration shall, or shall cause such other Person in the BMS Group to,
assume such rights and obligations. 
  

 27 








 SECTION 2.13. Value Added Tax. (a) Subject to Section 2.13(b), BMS and MJN agree that
any VAT payable with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Local Asset Purchase Agreement shall, as between Seller and Buyer, be payable by Buyer in addition to the purchase price stated in such agreement and Buyer shall, immediately upon
written demand being made by Seller (such demand being accompanied by a valid VAT tax invoice issued by Seller to Buyer and reasonable evidence of Seller’s liability to account for such VAT), pay to Seller the amount of VAT payable in respect
of that transaction. If the relevant Tax Authorities subsequently determine that a supply should have been exempt, subject to a reduced rate of VAT or zero-rated for VAT purposes, either as the supply of a going concern or otherwise, Seller shall
repay to Buyer the amount of any VAT previously paid by Buyer to the extent that Seller has actually received a refund from the relevant Taxing Authority. 
 (b) If the parties to any Local Asset Purchase Agreement agree that the transaction evidenced by such agreement meets the requirements for VAT exemption or zero-rating for VAT purposes as the supply of a going
concern, then the provisions of Section 2.13(a) shall not apply and instead MJN and BMS (on behalf of the parties to any such agreement) agree that (i) such agreement evidences the supply of a going concern by Seller for VAT purposes and
(ii) the transaction evidenced by such agreement is exempt or zero-rated (as applicable) for VAT purposes. If it later is ascertained or determined that the transaction is subject to VAT, the VAT will, as between Seller and Buyer, be payable by
Buyer in addition to the purchase price stated in such Local Asset Purchase Agreement and Buyer shall, immediately upon written demand being made by Seller (such demand being accompanied by a valid VAT tax invoice issued by Seller to Buyer and
reasonable evidence of Seller’s liability to account for such VAT), pay to Seller the amount of VAT payable in respect of that transaction. Buyer shall also pay to Seller, on written demand being made, any additional tax, penalty or interest
levied on Seller in relation to such VAT (any such additional tax, penalty or interest, “Default VAT”), provided that the liability of Buyer to pay to Seller Default VAT shall only extend to Default VAT that has arisen up until the
time that Buyer has paid to Seller an amount in cleared funds which, if paid by Seller to the relevant Taxing Authority, would ensure that no further liability for Default VAT would accrue in relation to the VAT payable in respect of this
transaction. 
 ARTICLE III 
 The IPO and Actions Pending the IPO 
 SECTION 3.01. The IPO. BMS and MJN shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to consummate the IPO. 
 SECTION 3.02. Proceeds of the IPO. The IPO will be a primary offering of Class A Common Stock
and the net proceeds of the IPO will be used as described in the Prospectus. 
  

 28

and MJN will each take all actions that may be required to provide for the adoption by MJN of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of MJN substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A and the Amended and Restated By-laws of
MJN substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B.

each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether
arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have
existed in each case on or before the Separation Date, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Separation and the IPO. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.02, effective as of the Separation Date, BMS does hereby, for itself and for each of its Subsidiaries that is in the BMS Group, release and forever
discharge MJN and each of its Subsidiaries that is in the MJN Group as of the Separation Date, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Separation Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members or agents of any Person in the
MJN Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators successors and assigns, from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at law or in equity (including any right of
contribution), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions
existing or alleged to have existed in each case on or before the Separation Date, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Separation and the IPO. 
  

 29 








 (c) Nothing contained in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce
this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.04(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto not to terminate as of the Separation Date or Section 2.06, in
each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall release any Person from: 
 (i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any Persons in the BMS Group or the MJN Group that is specified in Section 2.04(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto as not to terminate as of the Separation Date,
or any other Liability specified in such Section 2.04(b) as not to terminate as of the Separation Date; 
 (ii) any
Liability assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any Person in any Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; 
 (iii) any Liability for the sale, lease, construction or receipt of goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the
ordinary course of business by a Person in one Group from a Person in the other Group prior to the Separation Date; 
 (iv)
any Liability for unpaid amounts for products or services or refunds owing on products or services due on a value-received basis for work done by a Person in one Group at the request or on behalf of a Person in the other Group; 
 (v) any Liability that the parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement for claims brought
against the parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or 
 (vi) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this
Section 5.01. 
 (d) MJN shall not, and shall not permit any Person in the MJN Group, to make any claim or demand, or commence any
Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against BMS or any Person in the BMS Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.01(a), with respect to any Liabilities released
pursuant to Section 5.01(a). BMS shall not, and shall not permit any Person in the BMS Group, to make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification against
MJN or any Person in the MJN Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.01(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.01(b). 
  

 30 








 (e) It is the intent of each of BMS and MJN, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5.01, to
provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have
existed in each case on or before the Separation Date, between or among MJN or any Person in the MJN Group, on the one hand, and BMS or any Person in the BMS Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or
alleged to exist between or among any such Persons on or before the Separation Date), except as expressly set forth in Section 5.01(c). At any time, at the request of any other party, each party shall cause each Person in its respective Group
to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 5.02. Indemnification by MJN. Except as provided in
Section 5.04, MJN shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is in the MJN Group as of the Separation Date, to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless BMS, each Person in the BMS Group and each of their respective
directors, officers, managers, members and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “BMS Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the BMS
Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication and including any such Liabilities asserted by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense or enforcement of any Lien): 
 (i) the failure of MJN or any other Person in the MJN Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any MJN
Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to or after the Separation Date; 
 (ii) any material
breach by MJN or any Person in the MJN Group of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not contain its own indemnification provisions; and 
 (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement (or any amendment thereto) relating to such registration, including all documents incorporated therein
by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the IPO Registration Statement or Prospectus or any other document filed by MJN or any Person in the MJN Group, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, with the Commission or otherwise used in connection with the
IPO or the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “IPO Documents”), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, except that the indemnities set forth in this paragraph do not apply to statements or omissions in any IPO Documents based upon the representations and 

  

 31 








 
warranties of BMS set forth in Section 2.08(b). In connection with the foregoing, MJN shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is in the MJN
Group as of the Separation Date, to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each BMS Indemnitee: 
 (A)
against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and reasonable expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental
Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any other claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of MJN; and 

(B) against any and all reasonable expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not such Person is a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (iii) above; 
 provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this subparagraph (iii) does not apply to any BMS Indemnitee with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent
arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission (A) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to MJN by such BMS Indemnitee expressly for use in an IPO Document, or
(B) if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was corrected in an amended or supplemented registration statement or prospectus and MJN had furnished copies thereof to the BMS Indemnitee from which the Person
asserting such loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense purchased the securities that are the subject thereof on a timely basis prior to the date of sale by such BMS Indemnitee to such Person. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any BMS Indemnitee have the right to seek indemnification from any Person in the MJN
Group with respect to any claim or demand against any Person in the BMS Group for the satisfaction of the Excluded Liabilities. 
 SECTION
5.03. Indemnification by BMS. Except as provided in Section 5.04, BMS shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is in the BMS Group as of the Separation Date, to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless MJN
and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, members and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “MJN Indemnitees”), from and against any and all
Liabilities of the MJN Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication and including any Liabilities asserted by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense or enforcement of any Lien):

 (i) the failure of BMS or any other Person in the BMS Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly
discharge any Excluded Liabilities, whether prior to or after the Separation Date; and 
  

 32 








 (ii) any material breach by BMS or any Person in the BMS Group of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement that does not contain its own indemnification provisions. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
will any MJN Indemnitee have the right to seek indemnification from any Person in the MJN Group with respect to any claim or demand against any Person in the BMS Group for the satisfaction of the MJN Liabilities. 
 SECTION 5.04. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts; Shared Contract Liabilities. (a) The parties intend
that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability. Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying
Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the
related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will
pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity
Payment was made. 
 (b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with
respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a
“wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit such insurer or other third party would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement shall obligate any Person in any Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds. 
 (c) If an
indemnification claim is covered by the indemnification provisions of an Ancillary Agreement, the claim shall be made under the Ancillary Agreement to the extent applicable and the provisions thereof shall govern such claim. In no event shall any
party be entitled to double recovery from the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement. 
  

 33 








 SECTION 5.05. Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims. (a) If an Indemnitee
shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a Person in the BMS Group or the MJN Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a
“Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.02 or 5.03, or any other Section of this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall
give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 20 days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any
Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 5.05(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by
such failure to give notice. 
 (b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any
reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise, so long as such settlement or compromise contains an unconditional release of each Indemnitee, whether or not a party to such Third Party Claim), at such Indemnifying Party’s own
expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.05(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires),
the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an
Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee; provided, however, in the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and
continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice or (ii) the Third Party Claim involves injunctive or equitable relief, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall
be borne by the Indemnifying Party. 
 (c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or
fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 5.05(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. 
 (d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee
may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. 
 (e) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim unless the settlement involves only monetary relief which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay and includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee.

  

 34 








 SECTION 5.06. Additional Matters. (a) Any claim on account of a Liability which does not
result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto.
If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects
such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such
Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person.
Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim. 
 (c) In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so
request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the
Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court,
attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement. 
 SECTION 5.07. Limitations on Cross Indemnities for Shared Sites. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, any BMS Indemnitee, on the
one hand, or any MJN Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall only be entitled to any indemnification or reimbursement from the other party pursuant to this Article V for any Environmental Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from
any (a) environmental assessment, investigation, testing or sampling (including of any ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata, soil and sediments or at or within any building, structure, fixture or equipment)
at any Shared Site, or any part thereof, in the absence of an order by a relevant Governmental Authority or in reasonable response to an immediate, imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment as required under Environmental
Laws or to an emergency event or condition involving personnel or property at such site to the extent: (i) the scope, protocol and schedule of any such environmental assessment, investigation, testing or sampling or any response, remediation or
monitoring activities (“Environmental Work”) is mutually 

  

 35 








 
determined by the parties in consultation using good faith efforts; (ii) the “guest” at such site is afforded a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on all written communications, correspondence and data relating to such Environmental Work, and to attend and participate in discussions, meetings, negotiations and settlements with any Governmental Authority; (iii) any such
environmental assessment, investigation, testing or sampling is completed within five (5) years after the date hereof; and (iv) the costs associated with such claim for indemnification do not exceed the costs required to comply with the
minimum applicable standards and/or requirements under Environmental Law; or (b) reuse, recycling, or resale of any equipment unless the owner of such equipment specifically approves the equipment for reuse, recycling or resale. 
 SECTION 5.08. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII,
shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. 
 SECTION 5.09. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of BMS and MJN and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the
assignment by it of any Liabilities. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 Certain Business Matters 
 SECTION 6.02. Certain Business Matters. (a) No Person in any
Group shall have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as any Person in the other Group, (ii) doing business with any potential or actual supplier or customer of any Person in the
other Group, or (iii) engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever relating to any of the potential or actual suppliers or customers of any Person in the other Group. 
 (b) Each of BMS and MJN is aware that from time to time certain business opportunities may arise which more than one Group may be financially able to
undertake, and which are, from their nature, in the line of more than one Group’s business and are of practical advantage to more than one Group. 
 SECTION 6.03. Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amounts billed or
otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within 30 days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2%. 
  

 36 








 ARTICLE VII 
 Exchange of Information; Confidentiality 
 SECTION 7.01. Agreement for Exchange of Information;
Archives. (a) Each of BMS and MJN, on behalf of its respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Group, at any time before or after the Separation Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request
therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group which the requesting party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party
(including under applicable securities or tax laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative, tax or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit,
accounting, regulatory, litigation, tax or other similar requirements, in each case other than claims or allegations that one party to this Agreement has against the other, or (iii) subject to the foregoing clause (ii), to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that any party determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client
privilege, the parties shall take all commercially reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 
 (b) After the Separation Date, MJN or BMS, as applicable, shall have access during regular business hours (as in effect from time to time) to the
documents and records that relate to the Mead Johnson Business that are located in archives retained or maintained by BMS or that relate to the BMS Business that are located in archives retained or maintained by MJN, as applicable. MJN or BMS, as
applicable, may obtain copies (but not originals) of documents for bona fide business purposes and may obtain objects for exhibition purposes for reasonable periods of time if required for bona fide business purposes; provided,
however, that MJN or BMS, as applicable, shall cause any such objects to be returned promptly in the same condition in which they were delivered to such party and shall comply with any rules, procedures or other requirements, and shall be
subject to any restrictions (including prohibitions on removal of specified objects) that are then applicable to the providing party. MJN or BMS, as applicable, shall pay the applicable fee or rate per hour for archives research services (subject to
increase from time to time to reflect rates then in effect) for the providing party generally. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the access of the providing party to any such documents or objects or to impose any liability on the providing
party if any such documents or objects are not maintained or preserved by such party. 
 (c) After the Separation Date, each of BMS and MJN
(i) shall maintain in effect at its own cost and expense adequate systems and controls to the extent necessary to enable the Persons in the other Group to satisfy their respective reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations, and
(ii) shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party (in such form as the providing party retains such Information for its own use) all financial and other data and Information as such requesting party determines necessary or
advisable in order to prepare its financial statements and reports or filings with any Governmental Authority. 
  

 37 








 SECTION 7.02. Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to a
requesting party pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or
otherwise in any such Information. 
 SECTION 7.03. Compensation for Providing Information. The party requesting Information agrees to
reimburse the other party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting party. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing party’s standard methodology and procedures. 
 SECTION 7.04. Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article VII and other provisions of this Agreement after the Separation Date, the parties agree to use their commercially reasonable
efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control on the Separation Date in accordance with the policies of BMS as in effect on the Separation Date or such other policies as may be reasonably adopted by the appropriate
party after the Separation Date. No party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information which the other party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the third anniversary of the Separation Date
without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other party of the proposed destruction and giving the other party the opportunity to take possession of such information prior to such destruction; provided,
however, that in the case of any Information relating to taxes, employee benefits or environmental liabilities, such period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions
thereof). 
 SECTION 7.05. Limitations of Liability. Except as otherwise provided in Article V, no party shall have any liability to
any other party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the party providing such Information. No party shall have any liability to any other
party if any Information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of Section 7.04. 
 SECTION 7.06. Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing,
exchange, retention or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.07. Production of
Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. (a) After the Separation Date, except in the case of an adversarial Action by one party or Persons in its Group against another party or Person in its Group, each party hereto will 

  

 38 








 
use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other party, upon written request, the then current directors, officers, employees, other
personnel and agents of the Person in its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to
business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved,
regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith. 
 (b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim, the other party shall make available to such
Indemnifying Party, upon written request then current directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control, to the extent that any
such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or
such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions. 

(d) The obligation of the parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 7.07 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to
facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses employees and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set
forth in the first sentence of Section 7.07(a)). 
 (e) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 7.07 the parties
will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any Person in any Group. 
 SECTION 7.08. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to Section 7.09, each of BMS and MJN, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective
Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to the
confidential and proprietary information of BMS pursuant to policies in effect as of the Separation Date, all Information concerning the other Group that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession prior to the Separation
Date) or furnished the other Group or its respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use


  

 39 








 
any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such
Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such party or any Person in such Group or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and
representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such party (or any Person in such party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or (iii) independently generated without
reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the other party. 
 (b) Each party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit
to be released or disclosed, any Information of the other Group to any other Person, except its directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information
(who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), except in compliance with Section 7.09. 
 SECTION 7.09. Protective Arrangements. In the event that any party or any Person in its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable law (including
pursuant to any rule or regulation of the Commission) or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Information of any other party (or any Person in any other party’s Group) that is
subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such party shall notify the other party prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate at the expense of such other party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements
(including by seeking confidential treatment of such Information) requested by such other party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that received such a request or determined that it is required to disclose Information may thereafter disclose or
provide Information to the extent required by such law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority; provided, however, that such Person provides the other party upon request with a copy of the
Information so disclosed. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Dispute Resolution 
 SECTION 8.01. Disputes. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement,
the procedures for discussion, negotiation and mediation set forth in this Article VIII shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in
connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the Separation Date), or the commercial or economic relationship of the
parties relating hereto or thereto, between or among any Person in the BMS Group and the MJN Group. 
 SECTION 8.02. Escalation;
Mediation. (a) It is the intent of the parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any dispute, 

  

 40 








 
controversy or claim between or among them with respect to the matters covered hereby that may arise from time to time on a mutually acceptable negotiated
basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any party involved in a dispute, controversy or claim may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in person meeting involving representatives of the parties at a senior level of
management of the parties (or if the parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel, or like officer or official, of each party
involved in the dispute, controversy or claim (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the parties may be established by the
parties from time to time; provided, however, that the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within 30 days of the Escalation Notice. 
 (b) If the parties are not able to resolve the dispute, controversy or claim (except those relating to Environmental Liabilities, which are addressed in Section 8.02 below) through the escalation process referred
to above, then the matter shall be referred to mediation. The parties shall retain a mediator to aid the parties in their discussions and negotiations by informally providing advice to the parties. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall be
strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the parties, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be admissible in any other proceeding. The mediator may be chosen from a list of mediators previously selected by the parties or by other
agreement of the parties. Costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the matter, except that each party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation shall be a prerequisite to the commencement of any action by
either party. 
 (c) If the parties are not able to resolve any technical or factual dispute, controversy or claim relating to Environmental
Liabilities through the escalation process referred to above, then the parties shall jointly retain a technical mediator, such as a third-party environmental consultant or other person with specific technical expertise in the matter involved in the
dispute, controversy or claim to aid the parties in their discussions and negotiations. The technical mediator shall provide informal advice to the parties and, if requested by both parties, shall also provide a written opinion letter or report
summarizing the matter in dispute, identifying any significant assumptions or informational gaps underlying that summary, and setting forth the conclusions and recommendations of the technical mediator. Unless mutually agreed by the parties in
writing, any opinion expressed by the technical mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the parties, nor shall any opinion expressed or delivered by the technical mediator be admissible in any other proceeding. The technical
mediator may be chosen from a list of experts previously selected by the parties or by other agreement of the parties. Costs related to the technical mediator’s work, including any investigation, data-gathering or sampling recommended by the
technical mediator, shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the matter, except that each party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Technical mediation shall be a prerequisite to the commencement of any action by either party.

 SECTION 8.03. Court Actions. (a) In the event that any party, after complying with the provisions set forth in
Section 8.02 above, desires to commence an 

  

 41 








 
Action, such party, subject to Section 11.16, may submit the dispute, controversy or claim (or such series of related disputes, controversies or claims)
to any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all
other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, except to the extent such commitments are the subject of such dispute, controversy or claim. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 Further Assurances and
Additional Covenants 
 SECTION 9.01. Further Assurances. (a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere
in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, on and after the Separation Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary,
proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Non-U.S. Plan. 
 (b) Prior to, on and after the Separation Date, each party hereto shall cooperate with the other party, and without any further consideration, but at the
expense of the requesting party, to execute and deliver, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer (including any Transfer
Documents), and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or
Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by such other party hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the Non-U.S. Plan, in order to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transfers of the MJN Assets and the assignment and assumption of the MJN Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any
Ancillary Agreement and without limiting the foregoing and Section 2.10, BMS will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of MJN, take such other actions as may be reasonable necessary to vest in the applicable Person in the MJN Group good
and marketable title, free and clear of any Lien, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so and so long as no Person in the BMS Group is materially adversely affected by taking such other actions. 
 (c) On or prior to the Separation Date, BMS and MJN in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries,
shall each ratify any actions which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by BMS, MJN or any other Subsidiary of MJN or BMS, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

 42 








 (d) BMS and MJN, and each of the Persons in their respective Groups, waive (and agree not to assert
against any of the others) any claim or demand that any of them may have against any of the others for any Liabilities or other claims relating to or arising out of: (i) the failure of MJN or any Person in the MJN Group, on the one hand, or of
BMS or any Person in the BMS Group, on the other hand, to provide any notification or disclosure required under any state property transfer requirements or other Environmental Law in connection with the Separation or the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the transfer by any Person in any Group to any Person in the other Group of ownership or operational control of any Assets not previously owned or operated by such transferee or the Governmental Approvals
required under Environmental Law for such Assets or operations, or (ii) any inadequate, incorrect or incomplete notification or disclosure under any such state property transfer requirements or other Environmental Law by the applicable
transferor. To the extent any Liability to any Governmental Authority or any third Person arises out of any action or inaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the transferee of the applicable or relevant Asset hereby assumes and
agrees to pay any such Liability. 
 (e) Prior to the Separation Date, if one or both of the parties identifies any commercial or other
service that is needed to assure a smooth and orderly transition of the businesses in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that is not otherwise governed by the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement, the parties will cooperate in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable arm’s-length basis on which the other party will provide such service. 
 (f) After the Separation Date, upon reasonable written notice, the parties shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives reasonable access, during
normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Mead Johnson Business, the MJN Assets and the MJN Liabilities as is required by applicable law, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or is reasonably
necessary for financial reporting and accounting matters (including with respect to the preparation of any financial statements), letters of representation, reports or forms, the preparation and filing of any Tax returns or the defense of any Tax
claim or assessment. Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 9.01(f). Neither party shall be required by this Section 9.01(f) to take any
action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations. 
 SECTION 9.02.
No Use of Certain Names; Transitional License. (a) MJN shall as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, revise sales and product literature, packaging and
labeling to (i) delete all references to the BMS Names and (ii) delete all references to the customer service address or phone number of BMS or any Person in the BMS Group; provided, however, that, for a period of eighteen
(18) months from the Separation Date, MJN and any Person in the MJN Group may continue to distribute sales and product literature and inventory constituting MJN Assets that uses any of the BMS Names, 

  

 43 








 
addresses or phone numbers to the extent that such sales and product literature and inventory constituting MJN Assets exists on the Separation Date or is
manufactured within the ninety (90)-day period after the Separation Date, and BMS hereby grants to MJN the limited right and a royalty-free paid-up license to use BMS’s trademarks, trade dress, copyrights and other intellectual property owned
by BMS (and covenants to cause each of the Persons in the BMS Group to grant MJN the limited right and a royalty-free paid-up license to use such Person’s trademarks, trade dress and copyrights under any copyrights and other intellectual
property owned by such Person) that have been used in connection with the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of the products of MJN, to the extent necessary to allow MJN to use such sales and product literature and inventory constituting
MJN Assets. In no event shall MJN use any BMS Names, addresses or phone numbers after the Separation Date in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such BMS Names, addresses or phone numbers by the Business during the ninety
(90)-day period preceding the Separation Date. “BMS Names” means “Bristol-Myers”, “Bristol-Myers Squibb”, “Bristol-Myers Squibb Company”, “E.R. Squibb & Sons”, “E.R.
Squibb”, and “Squibb”, any variations and derivatives thereof and proprietary UPC codes relating thereto and any other logos or trademarks of BMS or of Persons in the BMS Group not included in the intellectual property constituting
MJN Assets. 
 (b) As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) business days following the Separation Date, to
the extent necessary, MJN shall cause each Person in the MJN Group to change its corporate name to a name not including, or, in the reasonable judgment of BMS, not confusingly similar to, any of the BMS Names. As soon as reasonably practicable, and
in any event within ten (10) business days following the Separation Date, to the extent necessary, MJN shall cause each Person in the MJN Group to amend or terminate any certificate of assumed name or d/b/a filing by such Person so as to
eliminate their right to use any of the BMS Names or any name that, in the reasonable judgment of BMS is confusingly similar to any of the BMS Names. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Sections 9.02(a) and 9.02(b), MJN shall be entitled to use BMS Names to accurately reference entities and products which historically bore such names in historical descriptions of the Mead Johnson
Business and its operations; provided, however, that BMS shall have the right to review and approve any such use prior to its use, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 SECTION 9.03. Limitation on Dividends and Distributions from BMS Vietnam Company Ltd. If the transfer of the shares of BMS Vietnam Company Ltd., a
Vietnam company, to MJ Nutrition Holdings (Singapore) Pte Ltd, a Singapore company, or any other Person in the MJN Group, is not consummated on or prior to the Separation Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.10(b) or for any
other reason, then after the Separation Date BMS shall not permit BMS Vietnam Company Ltd., directly or indirectly, to make a declaration or payment of any dividends or any other distributions of any sort in respect of its capital stock or other
cash payment out of the ordinary course of business to BMS or any Person in the BMS Group without the written consent of MJN.
