registered office is situate at Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside, United Kingdom CH62 4ZD (hereinafter called the English Company) of the one part and UNILEVER N.V. whose registered office is at Rotterdam in the Netherlands (hereinafter
called the Dutch Company) of the other part as amended by Supplemental Agreement dated the 15th day of May 2006. WHEREAS:  (A)
By an Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the 1938 Agreement) dated the 28th day of April 1938 and made between the English Company of the one part and
the Dutch Company of the other part after reciting (inter alia)that by an agreement (therein and hereinafter called the 1937 Equalization Agreement) made between the same parties and dated the 31st day of December 1937 provisions
were made for the pooling of surplus profits of the two Companies and of surplus assets in a winding up and that the 1937 Equalization Agreement required for its proper working close cooperation between the parties it was agreed that the parties be
under certain mutual obligations as therein specifically set forth.  (B)
It was a term of the 1938 Agreement that the same should continue in force so long as the 1937 Equalization Agreement remained in force and should terminate
automatically on the termination of the 1937 Equalization Agreement.  (C)
Owing to the occupation of the Netherlands by the Germans during the years 1940 to 1945 doubts arose as to whether the 1937 Equalization Agreement was still effective
under the laws of England and the parties being desirous of removing such doubts have immediately before the execution of these presents made a new agreement (hereinafter referred to as the 1946 Equalization Agreement) reaffirming the
operative provisions of the 1937 Equalization Agreement.  (D)
Similar doubts having arisen with regard to the 1938 Agreement it has been agreed that these presents embodying certain variations of the 1938 Agreement which are
desirable in consequence of the changed conditions resulting from the World War of 1939-45 shall be entered into in substitution for the 1938 Agreement which the parties hereto agree to regard as no longer in force.  (E)
Pursuant to the terms of the Equalization Agreement (as defined below), the amount of current profits of the two Companies for each financial period which the Boards of
the two Companies decide from time to time should be distributed by way of dividend on the ordinary share capital of the Dutch Company and the English Company shall be utilised in providing for dividends on the ordinary share capitals of the Dutch
Company and the English Company respectively upon an equalised basis, in accordance with the ratio of dividend entitlement. Accordingly, it is considered


desirous that the assets of the two Companies be held so that the ratio of dividend generating capacity of the Dutch Company to that of the English Company does not materially differ from the
ratio of dividend entitlement of the ordinary shareholders in the Dutch Company to that of the ordinary shareholders in the English Company except where the Dutch Company and the English Company jointly agree that any action to produce this result
would not be beneficial for the group as a whole. NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:  1.

expression associated companies means any company in which a controlling interest is vested directly or indirectly in the English Company or the Dutch Company, as the case maybe; (b) The Equalization Agreement means the 1946 Equalization Agreement as amended by Supplemental Agreement dated 20th day of
July, 1951 and Second Supplemental Agreement dated the 21st day of December, 1981 and the Third Supplemental Agreement of even date herewith and as may be amended hereafter from time to time; (c) The ratio of the dividend entitlement of ordinary shareholders in the Dutch Company to that of ordinary shareholders in the
English Company shall be the ratio of aggregate dividends to be paid on the Ordinary Share Capital of the Dutch Company from time to time to the aggregate dividends to be paid on the Ordinary Share Capital of the English Company from time to
time on the footing set out in clause 4(b) of the Equalization Agreement; and (d) The ratio of the dividend generating
capacity of the Dutch Company to that of the English Company shall be the ratio of the forecast ability of the Dutch Company and its associated companies to generate amounts which it is capable of distributing by way of dividend to the
forecast ability of the English Company and its associated companies to generate amounts which the English Company is capable of distributing by way of dividend, in each case for such period as the board of directors of both Companies consider
reasonable.  2.
The English Company and its associated companies and the Dutch company and its associated companies agree to co-operate together in every way they reasonably can (but
not in circumstances where they jointly agree that any action to produce this result would not be beneficial for the group as a whole) to ensure that the ratio of the dividend generating capacity of the Dutch Company to that of the English Company
