Fortune Brands. Fortune Brands and H&S are referred to herein as “Parties” or each individually as a “Party.” 
 WHEREAS, Fortune Brands, through the H&S Subsidiaries (as defined herein) and the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined herein), is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling home
and security products, as described more fully in the Form 10 Registration Statement (as defined herein) (the “Transferred Business”); 
 WHEREAS, the board of directors of Fortune Brands (the “Fortune Board”) has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of Fortune Brands and its stockholders
for Fortune Brands to transfer to H&S (i) 100% of the ownership interests of the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined herein) and (ii) the Transferred Business Assets (as defined herein) as further described in the Separation and
Distribution Agreement by and between Fortune Brands and H&S (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”), dated September 27, 2011; 
 WHEREAS, the Fortune Board has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of Fortune Brands and its stockholders for Fortune Brands to distribute on a pro rata basis to the
holders of shares of Fortune Brands’ common stock, par value $3.125 per share (“Fortune Brands Shares”), without any consideration being paid by the holders of such Fortune Brands Shares, all of the outstanding shares of
H&S common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“H&S Shares”), owned by Fortune Brands as of the Distribution Date (as defined herein); 
 WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, the Contribution, Conversion and Distribution, together with the other actions described in Exhibit A, (collectively, the “Plan of
Separation”) are intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); 

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that the distribution of H&S Shares to the stockholders of Fortune Brands, except for
cash received in lieu of any factions H&S Shares, will qualify as tax-free under Section 355(a) of the Code to such stockholders and as tax-free to Fortune Brands under Section 361(c) of the Code; and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Plan of Separation, the Parties desire to set forth their agreement with respect to tax matters for
taxable periods prior to and including the Distribution Date, in line with the following: (i) H&S is responsible for and shall pay all taxes attributable to the H&S Business and will indemnify Fortune Brands for these taxes,
(ii) Fortune Brands is responsible for and shall pay all taxes to the extent such taxes are not attributable to the H&S Business and will indemnify H&S for these taxes, (iii) the Parties will cooperate to efficiently settle Audits,
(iv) the Parties are restricted from taking certain actions that could cause the Distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distribution to fail to qualify for tax-free or tax-favored treatment, and each
Party will be responsible for any taxes 

  
 -1-

 
imposed as a result of the failure of the Distribution or the internal transactions to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code if such failure is attributable to certain
post-distribution actions taken by that Party or in respect of that Party’s shareholders, and (v) the Parties will cooperate fully and share information with respect to the tax matters covered herein.

payable on such Tax Return if such Tax Return were recalculated excluding the H&S-Fortune Brands Entities; provided, however, that (a) and (b) shall be determined by ignoring any available losses, deductions, allowances
or credits of Fortune Brands that are permitted or allowed as a result of consolidated, combined, unitary, group, or similar relief of the Parties (or their Subsidiaries). To the extent the H&S Allocable Portion is determined to be less than
zero (for example, due to an overpayment of estimated taxes by an H&S Party to a Fortune Brands Party), such amount shall be treated as a Refund to which H&S is entitled as of the due date of the applicable Tax Return. Notwithstanding
anything to contrary, the H&S Allocable Portion shall be computed by taking into account any W-2 wages of any Fortune Brands Party, as permitted under Law, for purposes of determining the eligibility for any deduction allowable under

of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Returns with the applicable Taxing Authority. Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner (i) consistent with the past practice of the Parties and their Subsidiaries unless
otherwise modified by a Final Determination or required by applicable Law; and (ii) consistent with (and the Parties and their Subsidiaries shall not take any position inconsistent with) the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, and the
Tax Opinions. No Parties shall take any actions inconsistent with the assumptions (including items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit) made in determining all estimated or advance payments of Income Tax on or prior to the Distribution Date.

 (b) Tax Package. To the extent not previously provided, the Party other than the Preparing Party shall (at its own
cost and expense), to the extent that a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or a Straddle Period Income Tax Return includes items of that Party or its Subsidiaries, prepare and provide or cause to be prepared and provided to the Preparing Party a Tax
Package relating to that Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return. Such Tax Package shall be provided in a timely manner consistent with the past practices of the Parties and their Subsidiaries. In the event a Party
does not fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), the Preparing Party shall be entitled, at the sole cost and expense of the first Party, to prepare or cause to be prepared the information required to be included in the
Tax Package for purposes of preparing any such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return. 
 (c)
Procedures Relating to the Review and Filing of Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns. 
 (i) In the case of Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns, to the extent not previously filed, no later than 30 days prior to the Due Date of each such Tax Return
(reduced to 15 days for state or local Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns), the Preparing Party shall make available or cause to be made available drafts of such Tax Return (together with all related work
papers) to the other Party. The other Party shall have access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of all such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns and the Parties shall cooperate
fully in the preparation and review of such Tax 

  
 13 

 
Returns. Subject to the preceding sentence, no later than 15 days after receipt of such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns (reduced to 5 days for state or
local Pre-Distribution Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns), the other Party shall have a right to object to such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return (or items with respect thereto) by
written notice to the Preparing Party; such written notice shall contain such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. 
 (ii) With respect to a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return submitted by the Preparing Party to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), if the other
Party does not object by proper written notice described in Section 2.1(c)(i), such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and to be final and
conclusive, for purposes of this Section 2.1(c)(ii). If a Party does object by proper written notice described in Section 2.1(c)(i), the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Parties have not resolved the disputed item or items by the day 5 days prior to the Due Date of such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or
Straddle Period Income Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared pursuant to this Section 2.1 (revised to reflect all initially disputed items that the Parties have agreed upon prior to such date). 

(iii) In the event that a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return is filed that includes any disputed
item for which proper notice was given pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) that was not finally resolved and agreed upon, such disputed item (or items) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.2. In the event that the
resolution of such disputed item (or items) in accordance with Section 12.2 with respect to a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or a Straddle Period Income Tax Return is inconsistent with such Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or
Straddle Period Income Tax Return as filed, the Preparing Party (with cooperation from the other Party) shall, as promptly as practicable, amend such Tax Return to properly reflect the final resolution of the disputed item (or items). In the event
that the amount of Taxes shown to be due and owing on a Pre-Distribution Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Income Tax Return is adjusted as a result of a resolution pursuant to Section 12.2, proper adjustment shall be made to the
amounts previously paid or required to be paid in accordance with Article III in a manner that reflects such resolution. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, in the case of any Income Tax Return for estimated Taxes (“Estimated Tax Return”) for a
Pre-Distribution Tax Period, to the extent not previously filed, as soon as practicable prior to the Due Date of each such Estimated Tax Return, the Preparing Party shall make available or cause to be made available drafts of such Estimated Tax
Return (together with all related work papers) to the other Party. The other Party shall have access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of such Estimated Tax Returns and the Parties shall cooperate fully in the
preparation and review of such Estimated Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice. Subject to the preceding sentence, a Party shall have a right to object by written notice to the other Party (and such written notice shall contain such
disputed item (or items) and the basis for the objection) and the principles of Section 2.1(c)(ii) shall apply to such Estimated Tax Return. 

  
 14 

 (v) For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.1(c) shall only apply to

Returns and Non-Income Tax Returns. The Party or its Subsidiary responsible under applicable Law for filing a Post-Distribution Income Tax Return or a Non-Income Tax Return shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely

and Straddle Period Income Tax Returns that Fortune Brands is required to file or cause to be filed with such Taxing Authority pursuant to Section 2.1; and

 ARTICLE IV 
 REFUNDS, CARRYBACKS AND AMENDED TAX RETURNS 

SECTION 4.1 Refunds. 
 (a) Each Party (and its Subsidiaries) (the “Claiming Party”) shall be entitled to Refunds that relate to Taxes for which it (or its Subsidiaries) is liable for hereunder.

 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a), to the extent a claim for a Refund results in a Correlative Detriment to the
other Party (or its Subsidiaries), any such Refund that is received by the Claiming Party (or its Subsidiaries) shall, and only to the extent thereof, be paid proportionately to the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) that incurs such Correlative
Detriment. A “Correlative Detriment” is an increase in a Tax of a Party (or its Subsidiaries) that occurs as a result of the Tax position that is the basis for a claim for Refund by the Claiming Party or for a Final
Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, a Correlative Detriment does not include an item that results in a temporary increase in a Tax of a Party (or its Subsidiaries) that will be recovered through a deduction under Section 162 of the Code
or a similar provision of Law in one or more subsequent years or recovered through amortization or depreciation deductions allowed under Sections 167, 168, or 197 of the Code or similar provisions of Law (a “Timing Item”).

 (c) Any Refund or portion thereof to which a Claiming Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1 that is
received or deemed to have been received as described herein by the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) shall be paid by such other Party to the Claiming Party in immediately available funds in accordance with Article VIII. To the extent a
Party (or its Subsidiaries) applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such Refund, if received,
would have been payable by such Party to the Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 4.1, such Party shall be deemed to have actually received a Refund to the extent thereof on the date on which the overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes
otherwise payable. 
 SECTION 4.2 Carrybacks. Each of the Parties shall be permitted (but not required) to
carryback (or to cause its Subsidiaries to carryback) a Tax Attribute realized in a Post-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period only if such carryback cannot reasonably result in
the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) being liable for additional Taxes. If a carryback could reasonably result in the 

  
 16 

 
other Party (or its Subsidiaries) being liable for additional Taxes, such carryback shall be permitted only if such Party consents to such carryback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, any Party that has claimed (or caused one or more of its Subsidiaries to claim) a Tax Attribute carryback shall be liable for any Taxes that become due and payable as a result of the subsequent adjustment, if any, to the carryback
claim 
 SECTION 4.3 Amended Tax Returns. 

(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1, any Fortune Brands Party or H&S Party that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for
a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period shall be permitted to prepare and file such amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner
(i) consistent with the past practice of the Parties (and their Subsidiaries) unless otherwise modified by a Final Determination or required by applicable Law; and (ii) consistent with (and the Parties and their Subsidiaries shall not take
any position inconsistent with) the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letter, and the Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, if such amended Tax Return could reasonably result in the other Party becoming responsible for
a payment of Taxes pursuant to Article III or a payment to a Party pursuant to Section 9.3, then such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the consent of such other Party is obtained. The consent of such other Party shall
not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed to be obtained in the event that a Party (or its Subsidiary) is required to file an amended Tax Return as a result of an Audit adjustment that arose in accordance with Article IX. 

(b) A Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Post-Distribution Tax Period shall be permitted to
do so without the consent of the other Party. 
 (c) A Party that is permitted (or whose Subsidiary is permitted) to file an
amended Tax Return shall not be relieved of any liability for payments pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding that the Party consented to the filing of such amended Tax Return giving rise to such liability. 

ARTICLE V

Attributes. 
 (a) If H&S would have been responsible under Section 5.1 for Distribution Taxes but for

and payable as a result of the use of the Fortune Brands Party’s Tax Attributes. 
 (b) If Fortune Brands would have been
responsible under Section 5.1 for Distribution Taxes but for the use of Tax Attributes that are attributable to any H&S Party (the “H&S Party’s Tax Attributes”), then Fortune Brands shall pay to
H&S the amount of Distribution Taxes that did not become due and payable as a result of the use of the H&S Party’s Tax Attributes.

Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion, or (ii) occurs during or after the Restricted Period; or 
 (b) the direct or indirect
acquisition of all or a portion of the stock of any Party (or any transaction or series of related transactions that is deemed to be such an acquisition for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated

 19 

 provided, however, that Fortune Brands and H&S shall be permitted to take such action or

such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”), in form and substance satisfactory to the other Party (the “Non-Acting Party”) in its discretion, which
discretion shall be reasonably exercised in good faith solely to prevent the imposition on the Non-Acting Party, or responsibility for payment by the Non-Acting Party, of Distribution Taxes or (2) have received an Unqualified Tax Opinion that
confirms that such action or actions will not result in Distribution Taxes, taking into account such actions and any other relevant transactions in the aggregate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Non-Acting Party, acting reasonably and in
good faith solely to prevent the imposition on the Non-Acting Party, or responsibility for payment by the Non-Acting Party, of Distribution Taxes. The Acting Party shall provide a copy of the Post-Distribution Ruling or the Unqualified Tax Opinion
described in this paragraph to the Non-Acting Party as soon as practicable prior to taking or failing to take any action set forth in the foregoing clause (b) through (k). The Non-Acting Party’s evaluation of a Post-Distribution Ruling or
Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. The Acting Party shall
bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse the Non-Acting Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Non-Acting Party may incur in good faith in
seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

complete as of the Effective Time; and (2) if, after the Effective Time, any Fortune Brands Party or H&S Party obtains information indicating, or otherwise becomes aware, that any such information or representations is or may be inaccurate
or incomplete, to promptly inform the other Party. Except in accordance with Section 5.4, no Fortune Brands Party or H&S Party shall take any action or fail to take any action, or permit any other Fortune Brands Party or H&S Party to
take any action or fail to take any action, that is or is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, or the Tax Opinions.

Matters Agreement, shall be entitled to claim any Income Tax deduction arising after the Distribution Date in respect of such equity awards and other incentive compensation on its respective Tax Return. 

(b) Withholding and Reporting. The Party (or its Subsidiary) that claims the deduction described in Section 6.1(a)
shall be responsible for all applicable Taxes (including withholding and excise taxes) and shall satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable Tax reporting obligations in respect of the equity awards and other incentive compensation that
gives rise to the deduction. The Parties shall cooperate (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to cooperate) so as to permit the Party (or Subsidiary thereof) claiming such deduction described in Section 6.1(a) to discharge any applicable
Tax withholding and Tax reporting obligations, including the appointment of the Party claiming the deduction (or its Subsidiary) as the withholding and reporting agent if that Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) is not otherwise required or permitted
to withhold and report under applicable Law. 
 ARTICLE VII

(b) all Taxes and reasonable out-of-pocket costs for advisors and other expenses attributable to a breach of any representation, covenant
or obligation of Fortune Brands under this Agreement.

 ARTICLE VIII

 PAYMENTS 
 SECTION 8.1 Payments 
 (a) General. Unless otherwise
provided in this Agreement, in the event that an Indemnifying Party is required to make a payment to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement: 
 (i) Aggregate Payments of Less than $250,000. If such payments are in the aggregate less than $250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand dollars) during the calendar quarter, the Indemnified Party
shall deliver written notice of the payments to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 12.11 on the first day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the obligation giving rise to the indemnification
payment must be satisfied, and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to make payment to the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days after notice of such payment is delivered to the Indemnifying Party. 

(ii) Payments Equal to or Greater than $250,000. If such payments are in the aggregate equal to or greater than $250,000 (two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars) during the calendar quarter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of the payments to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 12.11 during the calendar quarter in which the
obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment must be satisfied, and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to make payment to the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days after delivery of the written notice that resulted in aggregate
payments for the calendar quarter equaling $250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand dollars) or greater. 
 (b) Procedural
Matters. The written notice delivered to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 12.11 shall show the amount due and owing together with a schedule calculating in reasonable detail such amount (and shall include any
relevant Tax Return, statement, bill or invoice related to Taxes, costs, expenses or other amounts due and owing). All payments required to be made by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be made by electronic,
same day wire transfer. Payments shall be deemed made when received. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make a payment to the Indemnified Party within the time period set forth in Section 8.1(a), such Indemnifying Party shall be
considered to be in breach of its covenants and obligations established in this Section 8.1 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party (i) interest that accrues (at a rate equal to the Prime Rate) on the amount of
such payment from the time that such payment was due to the Indemnified Party until the date that payment is actually made to the Indemnified Party; and (ii) any costs or expenses (other than consequential damages) incurred by the Indemnified
Party to secure such payment or to satisfy the Indemnifying Party’s portion of the obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment. 

  
 22 

 (c) Right of Setoff. It is expressly understood that an Indemnifying Party is hereby
authorized to set off and apply any and all amounts required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.1 against any and all of the obligations of the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party arising under
Section 8.1 of this Agreement that are then either due and payable or past due, irrespective of whether such Indemnifying Party has made any demand for payment with respect to such obligations. 

SECTION 8.2 Treatment of Payments under this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement. In the absence
of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, any payments made by a Party under this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall be reported for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as
distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the
regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of assumed or retained liabilities, as appropriate. 

SECTION 8.3 Tax Gross Up. If, notwithstanding the manner in which payments were reported, there is an Income Tax
incurred by a Party as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, as applicable, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by the
amount of Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment that the Party receiving such payment would
otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, as applicable. This Section 8.3 shall not apply to any payment (or part thereof) made by an H&S Party to a Fortune Brands Party
which is treated by Fortune Brands as nonqualified property for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the Contribution and Conversion. 
 SECTION 8.4 Interest or Expenses. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent the Indemnifying Party makes a payment of interest or other expense reimbursement to
the Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the interest payment shall be treated as an expense under Section 162 or Section 163 of the Code, as applicable, to the Indemnifying Party (deductible
to the extent provided by Law) and as income by the Indemnified Party (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment of interest or other expense reimbursement shall not be adjusted under Section 8.3 to
take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnifying Party or Tax detriment to the Indemnified Party. 
 SECTION
8.5 Payments Net of Tax Benefits. If not otherwise provided in this Agreement, the amounts payable under this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement by one Party to another Party shall be reduced by the amount of
any Tax Benefit obtained by the Party receiving such payment. 

  
 23 

 ARTICLE IX 
 AUDITS 
 SECTION 9.1 Notice. Within 10 Business Days
after a Party or any of its Affiliates receives a written notice from a Taxing Authority of the existence of an Audit that may require indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, that Party shall notify the other Party of such receipt and send such
notice to the other Party in accordance with Section 12.11. The failure of one Party to notify the other Party of an Audit shall not relieve such other Party of any liability or obligation that it may have under this Agreement, except to
the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s rights under this Agreement are materially prejudiced by such failure. 

SECTION 9.2 Audit Administration. 
 (a) Administering Party. Subject to Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(c): 
 (i) Fortune Brands and its Subsidiaries shall administer and control all Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audits. 
 (ii) Audits other than Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audits shall be administered and controlled by the Party or Subsidiary thereof that is primarily liable under applicable Law to pay to the
applicable Taxing Authority the Taxes resulting from such Audits. 
 (b) Administration and Control; Cooperation.

 (i) Except as provided in Section 9.2(b)(ii), Fortune Brands shall have sole responsibility for administration
and control (including settlement authority) over all Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audits; provided that H&S shall have the right to participate in such Audit pursuant to Section 9.2(c) and as otherwise contemplated by this
Section 9.2(b), but only to the extent that such Audit relates to Taxes for which H&S would be liable under Section 9.3(a)(ii). 
 (ii) In the case of a Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit involving Taxes for which each of Fortune Brands and H&S would be liable pursuant to Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement, the
Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to separate the issues for resolution, in which case the Party that would be liable for any Tax relating to such issue shall have sole responsibility for the administration and control (including
settlement authority) of the separated issue, provided that— 
 (1) H&S shall only have sole responsibility for the
settlement of the separated issue if (x) the issue, as asserted by the Taxing Authority, would cause an individual payment obligation for H&S of $75,000 (seventy-five thousand dollars) or greater (including tax, interest and penalties)
under this Agreement (an “H&S Separated Issue”) and (y) all H&S Separated Issues and H&S Non-Separated Issues (as defined below) would cause an aggregate payment obligation for H&S of $750,000 (seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars) or greater under this Agreement. In addition to the conditions above, in the case of a Change of Control of H&S, H&S shall provide Fortune Brands an opinion from Qualified Counsel concluding that H&S
more likely than not shall prevail on the H&S Separated Issues. 

  
 24 

 (2) Fortune Brands shall have sole responsibility for the settlement of all separated
issues, other than H&S Separated Issues for which H&S has sole settlement responsibility under Section 9.2(b)(ii)(1), except that Fortune Brands shall accept or enter into a settlement of such issues at the reasonable request of
H&S unless: (x) the settlement relates to an issue the settlement of which would cause an individual payment obligation for Fortune Brands of $75,000 (seventy-five thousand dollars) or greater (including tax, interest and penalties) (a
“Fortune Brands Separated Issue”) and (y) the settlement of all Fortune Brands Separated Issues and Fortune Brands Non-Separated Issues (as defined below) would cause an aggregate payment obligation for Fortune Brands of
$750,000 (seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars) or greater. In addition to the conditions above, in the case of a Change of Control of Fortune Brands, Fortune Brands shall provide H&S an opinion from Qualified Counsel concluding that Fortune
Brands more likely than not shall prevail on the Fortune Brands Separated Issues. 
 (iii) To the extent that issues in a
Pre-Distribution Income Tax Audit cannot be separated— 
 (1) Fortune Brands shall not accept or enter into a settlement
without the consent of H&S (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) if: (x) the settlement relates to an issue the settlement of which would cause an individual payment obligation for H&S of $75,000 (seventy-five thousand dollars) or
greater (including tax, interest and penalties) under this Agreement (an “H&S Non-Separated Issue”); (y) H&S has provided Fortune Brands with H&S’s responses to all information document requests or
similar requests from the Taxing Authority with respect to all H&S Non-Separated Issues and (z) all H&S Non-Separated Issues and H&S Separated Issues would cause an aggregate payment obligation for H&S of $750,000 (seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars) or greater under this Agreement. In addition to the conditions above, in the case of a Change of Control of H&S, H&S shall provide Fortune Brands an opinion from Qualified Counsel concluding that H&S more
likely than not shall prevail on the H&S Non-Separated Issues. 
 (2) Fortune Brands shall accept or enter into a
settlement at the reasonable request of H&S unless: (x) the settlement relates to an issue the settlement of which would cause an individual payment obligation for Fortune Brands of $75,000 (seventy-five thousand dollars) or greater
(including tax, interest and penalties) under this Agreement (a “Fortune Brands Non-Separated Issue”); (y) Fortune Brands has provided H&S with Fortune Brands’ responses to all information document requests or
similar requests from the Taxing Authority with respect to all Fortune Brands Non-Separated Issues and (z) the settlement of all Fortune Brands Non-Separated Issues and Fortune Brands Separated Issues would cause an aggregate payment obligation
for Fortune Brands of $750,000 (seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars) or greater. In addition to the conditions above, in the case of a Change of Control of Fortune Brands, Fortune Brands shall provide H&S an opinion from Qualified Counsel
concluding that Fortune Brands more likely than not shall prevail on the Fortune Brands Non-Separated Issues. 

  
 25 

 (c) Participation Rights; Information Sharing. 

(i) The Parties shall arrange for a meeting or conference call to be held on a monthly basis (or on such other basis as the Parties may
agree) in order to facilitate regular communication on the status of any Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit. The Parties may determine from time to time to have separate special meetings to discuss significant Audit issues. 

(ii) Upon the reasonable request of H&S or Fortune Brands, as the case may be, Fortune Brands and its Subsidiaries or H&S and
its Subsidiaries, shall make available relevant personnel to meet with the other Party, its Subsidiaries, or its independent auditor, in order to review the status of any Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit. 

(iii) H&S shall have access to any written documentation in the possession of any Fortune Brands Party that pertains to any
Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit (including any written summaries of issues that any Fortune Brands Party has developed in the context of evaluating financial reporting matters) and Fortune Brands shall make such documentation available to
H&S in the offices of Fortune Brands. Such access shall be provided at such times and in such manner as the Parties agree, but no less frequently than monthly. Copies of the documentation will be made available to H&S at its sole cost and
expense. 
 (iv) With respect to any Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit, H&S’s participation rights shall include,
but not be limited to, the right to attend all conferences and participate in all conversations with the Taxing Authority relating to both H&S Separated Issues and H&S Non-Separated Issues. Fortune Brands shall provide on a timely basis
to H&S copies of all documents, including but not limited to all correspondence with the Taxing Authority, which relates to an H&S Separated Issue or H&S Non-Separated Issue. In addition, Fortune Brands shall provide H&S all
submissions to the Taxing Authority which relate to an H&S Separated Issue or a H&S Non-Separated Issue at least 2 Business Days in advance of submitting to the Taxing Authority to allow H&S the opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed submission. 
 (d) Costs and Expenses. Each Party (or its Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for its own costs
and expenses (including all costs and expenses of calculating Taxes and other amounts payable and any reporting obligations that arise out of an Audit, such as the reporting of any Audit adjustments to the various U.S. states) incurred with respect
to a Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit; provided, however, that if a Party (the “Challenging Party”) incurs costs and expenses related to the contest of an issue with respect to such Pre-Distribution U.S.
Income Tax Audit for which the other Party (the “Non-Challenging Party”) could be liable under this Agreement and the Non-Challenging Party opts to discontinue the contest of the issue, then the Challenging Party shall be
permitted to recover from the Non-Challenging Party and the Non-Challenging Party shall pay such costs and expenses incurred by the Challenging Party to contest such issue in an amount equal to (i) the ratio of the Non-Challenging Party’s
Benefit to the Total Benefit, multiplied by (ii) the costs and expenses incurred by the Challenging Party with respect to the issue; provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed the Non-Challenging Party’s Benefit
(tax effected at the highest applicable Income Tax rate). For purposes of this Section 9.2(d), the “Total Benefit” shall be equal to excess of (i) the amount by which the Taxing

  
 26 

 
Authority is willing to accept in settlement of the issue (the “Initial Amount”) over (ii) the amount ultimately included in a Final Determination in respect to the
issue (the “Final Amount”). For purposes of this Section 9.2(d), the “Non-Challenging Party’s Benefit” shall equal the excess of (but not below zero) (i) the Non-Challenging
Party’s allocable portion of the Initial Amount, as determined under this Agreement over (ii) the Non-Challenging Party’s allocable portion of the Final Amount, as determined under this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.3 Payment of Audit Amounts. 
 (a) Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audits. In connection with any Final Determination with respect to a Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit: 

(i) Fortune Brands shall be liable for and shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority the additional Taxes due and
payable as a result of such Final Determination that are attributable to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Tax Period ending on the Distribution Date. 

(ii) H&S shall be liable for and shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority or Fortune Brands (as the case may
be) an amount equal to the H&S Allocable Audit Portion of the additional Taxes due and payable as a result of such Final Determination that are attributable to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Tax Period ending on the
Distribution Date. 
 (b) Audits Other than Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audits. In connection with any Final
Determination with respect to an Audit other than a Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit: 
 (i) Fortune Brands shall be
liable for and shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority the amount due and payable as a result of such Final Determination to the extent Fortune Brands is responsible for such amounts under applicable Law. 

(ii) H&S shall be liable for and shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority the amount due and payable as a
result of such Final Determination to the extent H&S is responsible for such amounts under applicable Law. 
 (c)
Adjustments to Refunds. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a) or 9.2(b), if a Final Determination with respect to an Audit includes an adjustment to a Refund previously received by a Party (or its Subsidiary) in accordance with
Section 4.1, such Party shall pay any Taxes that become due and payable as a result of such adjustment. 
 (d)
Payment Procedures. 
 (i) Preliminary Determination. In connection with any Final Determination with respect to
an Audit that results in an amount to be paid pursuant to Section 9.3(a), Fortune Brands shall, within 30 Business Days following a final resolution of such Audit, submit in writing to H&S a preliminary determination (calculated and
explained in detail reasonably sufficient to enable H&S to fully understand the basis for such determination and to permit H&S to satisfy its financial reporting requirements) of the portion of such amount to be paid by each of the Parties
pursuant to Section 9.3(a), as applicable. 

  
 27 

 (ii) Access to Data. Fortune Brands shall have access to all data and information
necessary to calculate such amounts and H&S shall cooperate fully in the determination of such amounts. 
 (iii)
Objection Rights. Within 20 Business Days following the receipt by H&S of the information described in Section 9.3(d)(i), H&S shall have the right to object only to the calculation of the amount of the payment (but not the
basis for the payment) by written notice to Fortune Brands; such written notice shall contain such disputed item or items and the basis for the objection. If H&S does not object by proper written notice to Fortune Brands within such 20 day
period, the calculation of the amounts due and owing from H&S shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of Section 9.3(d). If H&S objects by proper written notice to Fortune
Brands within such time period, the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable, and if any such dispute is not resolved within 30 days, such dispute shall be deemed not to have been resolved pursuant to
Section 12.2(a) and shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.2(b). Notwithstanding any pending dispute with respect to the H&S Allocable Audit Portion, Fortune Brands is responsible for paying to the applicable
Taxing Authority under applicable Law amounts owed pursuant to a Final Determination and shall make such payments to such Taxing Authority prior to the due date for such payments. H&S shall reimburse Fortune Brands in accordance with Article
VIII for the portion of such payments for which H&S is liable (including interest thereon determined pursuant to Section 8.1(b) commencing from the date Fortune Brands made the payment described in the preceding sentence), if
any, pursuant to this Section 9.3. 
 SECTION 9.4 Correlative Adjustments. If a
Pre-Distribution U.S. Income Tax Audit results in a Final Determination that causes a Correlative Adjustment to one Party (or its Subsidiary) and a corresponding Tax Benefit to the other Party (or its Subsidiary), such other Party shall pay the
amount of the Tax Benefit to the first Party. 

  
 28 

 ARTICLE X 
 COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION 
 SECTION 10.1
Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate fully) and in a timely manner (considering the other Party’s normal internal processing
or reporting requirements) with all reasonable requests from the other Party, or from an agent, representative, or advisor to the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for Refund, Audits, determinations of
Tax Attributes and the calculation of Taxes or other amounts required to be paid hereunder, and any applicable financial reporting requirements of a Party or any Subsidiary thereof, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection
with Taxes or Tax Attributes of either Party or Subsidiary thereof. Such cooperation shall include: 
 (a) the retention until
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or, if later, until the expiration of all relevant Tax Attributes (in each case taking into account all waivers and extensions), and the provision upon request, of copies of Tax Returns of the
Parties and their respective Subsidiaries for periods up to and including the Distribution Date, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation, and other information relating to such Tax Returns,
including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities; 
 (b) the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any Audit of either of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, or the filing of a Tax Return or
Refund claim of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including the signature of an officer of a Party or any Subsidiary thereof); 
 (c) at the other Party’s sole cost and expense, the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation and provide additional facts, insights or views as requested by the
other Party that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any of the foregoing (including any information contained in Tax or other financial information databases); 

(d) at the other Party’s sole cost and expense, the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any Tax Returns
(including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents), documents, books, records, or other information that may be necessary or helpful in connection with any Tax Returns of any of the other Party or any Subsidiary thereof; and

 (e) such services as described on Schedule 10.1(e). 
 Each Party shall make its and its Subsidiaries’ employees and facilities available on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis in connection with the foregoing matters. Except as explicitly
provided in this Agreement, no reimbursement shall be made for costs and expenses incurred by the Parties as a result of cooperating pursuant to this Section 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the H&S Parties be
required to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1 to the extent that compliance would require the H&S Parties to exceed the limitations set forth on Schedule 10.1(e). 

SECTION 10.2 Retention of Records. Subject to Section 10.1, if either of the Parties or their respective
Subsidiaries intends to dispose of any documentation (including documentation that is being retained pursuant to IRS guidelines, such as Revenue Procedure 98-25 and Revenue Procedure 97-22) relating to the Taxes of the Parties or their respective
Subsidiaries for which the other Party may be responsible pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including Tax Returns, books, records, documentation, and other information, accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to
rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities), such Party shall or shall cause written notice to the other Party describing the documentation to be destroyed or disposed of 60 Business Days prior to taking such action. The other Party may
arrange to take delivery of the documentation described in the notice at its expense during the succeeding 60 day period. 

  
 29 

 SECTION 10.3 Confidentiality. For the avoidance of doubt, to the
extent applicable, the obligations imposed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement (including those specified in Section 11.8 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement) with respect to confidentiality shall apply with
respect to any information relating to Tax matters. 
 ARTICLE XI 

ALLOCATION OF TAX ATTRIBUTES AND OTHER TAX MATTERS 
 SECTION 11.1 Allocation of Tax Attributes. Each Party shall make its own determination as to the existence and the amount of the Tax Attributes to which it is entitled after the
Effective Time; provided, however, that such determination shall be made in a manner that is (a) reasonably consistent with the past practices of the Parties; (b) in accordance with the rules prescribed by applicable Law,
including the Code and the Treasury Regulations; (c) consistent with the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, and the Tax Opinions; and (d) reasonably determined by the Party to minimize the aggregate cash Tax liability of the
Parties for all Pre-Distribution Tax Periods and the portion of all Straddle Tax Periods ending on the Distribution Date. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all of the information supporting the Tax Attribute determinations made by
that Party pursuant to this Section 11.1. 
 SECTION 11.2 Third Party Tax Indemnities and
Benefits. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that pursuant to any
agreement to which any H&S Party is a party, any H&S Party has the right to indemnification by any Person (other than any H&S Party or Fortune Brands Party) with respect to Taxes that arise or are attributable to a period (or portion
thereof) ending on or prior to the Distribution Date, H&S shall be responsible for such Taxes and shall be entitled to receive all Tax indemnities related thereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that pursuant to any agreement to which any Fortune Brands Party is a party, any Fortune Brands Party has the right to
indemnification by any Person (other than any H&S Party or Fortune Brands Party) with respect to Taxes that arise or are attributable to a period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Distribution Date, Fortune Brands shall be
responsible for such Taxes and shall be entitled to receive all Tax indemnities related thereto. 
 SECTION 11.3
Allocation of Tax Items. All determinations (whether for purposes of preparing Tax Returns or for purposes of determining a Party’s responsibility for Taxes under this Agreement) regarding the allocation of Tax items between the
portion of a Straddle Tax Period that ends on the Distribution Date and the portion of such Straddle Tax Period that begins the day after the Distribution Date shall be made pursuant to the principles of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1502-76(b) or of a corresponding provision under the Laws of the applicable taxing jurisdiction; provided, however, that Tax items may be ratably allocated to the extent provided by and pursuant to the principles of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii). Any such allocation of Tax items shall initially be determined by Fortune Brands. To the extent that H&S disagrees with such determination, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the
provisions of Section 12.2. 

  
 30 

 ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 12.1 Entire Agreement;
Exclusivity. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein contains the entire understanding of the Parties with regard to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations,
discussions, understandings, writings and commitments between any of the Fortune Brands Parties, on the one hand, and any of the H&S Parties, on the other hand, with respect to all matters related to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Fortune Brands
Parties or the H&S Parties. Except as specifically set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, all matters related to Taxes or Tax Returns of any of the Fortune Brands Parties or the H&S Parties
shall be governed exclusively by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.2 Dispute Resolution; Mediation. 

(a) Subject to Section 12.2(c), either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party, and following delivery of such notice, the Parties
shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by executives who have authority to settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility
for the subject matter of the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a
Dispute within 30 days after the delivery of such notice, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 12.2(b). 
 (b) Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 12.2(a) shall, at the written request of any Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to non-binding mediation in
accordance with the then current International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure (the “Procedure”), except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in
Chicago, Illinois. The parties shall have 20 days from receipt by a party (or parties) of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the parties within 20 days of receipt by a party (or parties) of a Mediation
Request, then any party may request (on written notice to the other party), that the CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and
settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or
permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by any other party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such
other party except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the party
intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other 

  
 31 

 
party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within 60 days of the appointment of a mediator, or within 90 days of receipt by a party (or parties)
of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, then any party may file an action on the Dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.4.

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, (i) any party may seek preliminary
provisional or injunctive judicial relief without first complying with procedures set forth in Section 12.2(a) and Section 12.2(b) if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (ii) either party my initiate
litigation before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 12.2(b) if such party has submitted a Mediation Request and the other party has failed to participate. 

SECTION 12.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
(as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Delaware.

award shall be the sum of (i) plus (ii), where (i) is the total number of Fortune Brands performance shares which would have been granted to the participant for the full performance period, determined using actual performance results as of

of the Fortune Brands Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Expenses or Losses incurred or suffered by one or more of the Fortune Brands Indemnified Parties in connection with, relating to, arising out of or due to, directly or
indirectly, any of the following: 

  
 17 

 (a) all agreements entered into between any Fortune Brands Party and any
independent contractor providing services to the extent they are related to the Transferred Business; 
 (b) all
collective bargaining agreements, collective agreements, trade union agreements or works council agreements entered into between any Fortune Brands Party and any union, works council or other body to the extent they are related to the Business
Employees; 
 (c) all wages, salary, incentive compensation, commissions and bonuses payable to Business
Employees on or after the Distribution Date, without regard to when such wages, salary, incentive compensation, commissions or bonuses are or may have been earned; 

(d) all moving expenses and obligations related to relocation, repatriation, transfers or similar items incurred by or
owed to any Business Employee; 
 (e) all immigration-related, visa, work application or similar rights,
obligations and liabilities to the extent they are related to any Business Employees; and 
 (f) all liabilities
and obligations whatsoever of the Transferred Business with respect to claims made by or with respect to Business Employees, or any other to the extent their employment duties related to the Transferred Business, relating to any employee benefit
plan, program or policy not otherwise retained or assumed by Fortune Brands pursuant to this Agreement, including such liabilities relating to actions or omissions of or by the H&S Parties or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof
prior to the Distribution Date. 
 7.03 Restrictive Covenants in Employment and Other Agreements. To the extent
permitted under applicable law, following the Distribution, the H&S Parties shall be considered to be successors to the Fortune Brands Parties for purposes of all agreements containing restrictive covenants (including confidentiality and
non-competition provisions) between any Fortune Brands Party and any Business Employee executed prior to the Distribution Date such that each Fortune Brands Party and each H&S Party shall all enjoy the rights and benefits under such agreements,
with respect to their respective business operations; provided, however, that (a) in no event shall any Fortune Brands Party be permitted to enforce the restrictive covenant agreements against any Business Employees in their
capacity as employees of any H&S Party, and (b) in no event shall any H&S Party be permitted to enforce the restrictive covenant agreements against any Fortune Brands employees in their capacity as employees of any Fortune Brands Party.

 7.04 Severance. Effective as of the Distribution Date, H&S may establish one or more severance plans and policies
with respect to Business Employees as H&S deems appropriate in its discretion. Effective as of the Distribution Date, H&S shall assume, and Fortune Brands shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the severance benefits provided
to Business Employees. Following the Distribution Date, H&S shall be solely responsible for administering and paying all benefits under the applicable severance plans, policies or agreements with Business Employees, including Business Employees
whose employment terminated prior to the Distribution Date for an eligible reason under such policies or in accordance with such 

  
 18 

 
agreements, and H&S shall indemnify each of the Fortune Brands Parties for any amounts payable to Business Employees under such plans, policies and agreements. It is not intended that any
Business Employee will be eligible for termination or severance payments or benefits from any Fortune Brands Party as a result of the transfer or change of employment from Fortune Brands to any H&S Party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
in the event that any such termination or severance payments or benefits become payable on account of such transfer, change or the refusal of a Business Employee to accept employment with any H&S Party, H&S shall indemnify each of the
Fortune Brands Parties for the amount of such termination or severance payments or benefits. 
 7.05 Past Service Credit.
With respect to all Business Employees, as of the Distribution Date, the H&S Parties shall recognize all service recognized under the comparable Fortune Brands Plans and Fortune Brands Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements for purposes of determining
eligibility, participation, vesting and calculation of benefits under comparable plans and programs maintained by the H&S Parties, provided that there shall be no duplication of benefits for Business Employees under such H&S Party plans and
programs. Fortune Brands will provide to H&S copies of any records available to Fortune Brands to document such service, plan participation and membership and cooperate with H&S to resolve any discrepancies or obtain any missing data for
purposes of determining benefit eligibility, participation, vesting and calculation of benefits with respect to the Business Employees. With respect to retaining, destroying, transferring, sharing, copying and permitting access to all such
information, Fortune Brands and H&S shall each comply with all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies and each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all liability, claims, actions and
damages that arise from a failure (by the indemnifying party) to so comply with all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies applicable to such information. 
 7.06 Accrued Vacation Days Off. Effective as of the Distribution Date, the H&S Parties shall recognize and assume all liability for all vacation, holiday, sick leave, flex days and personal
days off, including banked vacation, accrued by Business Employees as of the Distribution Date, and the H&S Parties shall credit each Business Employee with such days off accrual. 

7.07 Leaves of Absence. The H&S Parties shall continue to apply all leave of absence policies as in effect immediately prior
to the Distribution to inactive Business Employees who are on an approved leave of absence as of the Distribution Date. Leaves of absence taken by Business Employees prior to the Distribution Date shall be deemed to have been taken as employees of
H&S. 
 7.08 Fortune Brands Assets. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Fortune Brands shall retain all reserves,
bank accounts, trust funds or other balances maintained with respect to Fortune Brands’ Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements. 

7.09 Further Cooperation; Personnel Records; Data Sharing. The parties shall provide each other such records and information as
reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out their obligations under law, this Agreement, or for the purposes of administering their respective plans and policies, including without limitation information relating to the vesting, exercise and
employment status of persons holding equity compensation awards in the common stock of the other party. Each party shall be responsible for the accuracy of records and information provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 7.09, and
shall indemnify such 

  
 19 

 
other party for any losses caused by inaccurate information that it has provided. Subject to applicable law, all information and records regarding employment and personnel matters of Business
Employees shall be accessed, retained, held, used, copied and transmitted after the Distribution Date by H&S in accordance with all laws and policies relating to the collection, storage, retention, use, transmittal, disclosure and destruction of
such records. Access to such records after the Distribution Date will be provided to Fortune Brands in accordance with Article XI of the Distribution Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fortune Brands shall retain reasonable access to those
records necessary for Fortune Brands’ continued administration of any plans or programs on behalf of Business Employees after the Distribution Date, and H&S shall retain reasonable access to those records necessary for H&S’s
administration of any equity award or other compensation or benefit payable or administered by the H&S Parties after the Distribution Date, provided that such access shall be limited to individuals who have a job-related need to access such
records. Fortune Brands shall also retain copies of all confidentiality and non-compete agreements with any Business Employee in which Fortune Brands has a valid business interest. With respect to retaining, destroying, transferring, sharing,
copying and permitting access to all such information, Fortune Brands and H&S shall each comply with all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies, and each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any
and all liability, claims, actions, and damages that arise from a failure (by the indemnifying party) to so comply with all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies applicable to such information. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 8.01 Employment and Plan Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement is not intended to create an employment-related contract between any of the Fortune Brands Parties or the H&S
Parties, on the one hand, and any employee or service provider, on the other, nor may any current or former employee or service provider rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of any employment-related contract claim against any of the
Fortune Brands Parties or H&S Parties, (b) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to require any of the Fortune Brands Parties or H&S Parties to continue to employ any particular employee or service provider for any
period before or after the Distribution Date, (c) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit the right of the Fortune Brands Parties or H&S Parties to terminate the employment of any employee or service provider at any
time before or after the Distribution Date and (d) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as establishing or amending any Pension Plan, Welfare Plan or Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangement, or any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement for
the benefit of any employee or any other person. 
 8.02 Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that any information conveyed
or otherwise received by or on behalf of a Party in conjunction herewith is confidential and is subject to the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 11.8 of the Distribution Agreement. 

8.03 Administrative Complaints/Litigation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following the Distribution Date,
H&S shall assume, and be solely liable for, the handling, administration, investigation and defense of actions, including ERISA, occupational safety and health, employment standards, union grievances, wrongful dismissal, discrimination or

  
 20 

 
human rights and unemployment compensation claims, asserted at any time against Fortune Brands or H&S by any Business Employee (including any dependent or beneficiary of any Business
Employee), or any other person to the extent such actions or claims arise out of or relate to employment or the provision of services (whether as an employee, contractor, consultant or otherwise) to or with the Transferred Business. Any Losses
arising from such actions shall be deemed Assumed Actions under the Distribution Agreement. 
 8.04 Reimbursement and
Indemnification. The parties hereto agree to reimburse each other, within 30 days of receipt from the other party of appropriate verification, for all costs and expenses which each may incur on behalf of the other as a result of any of the
Welfare Plans, Pension Plans and Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements and, as contemplated by Section 7.04, any termination or severance payments or benefits. All liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified against by H&S pursuant to this
Agreement, and all liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified against by Fortune Brands pursuant to this Agreement, shall in each case shall be subject to the indemnification procedures set forth in Article X of the Distribution Agreement.

 8.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any schedules hereto and the sections of the Distribution Agreement
referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, discussions, understandings, writings and commitments between the Parties
with respect to such subject matter. 
 8.06 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, as though all acts and omissions related hereto occurred in Delaware. 
 8.07 Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of Fortune Brands and H&S.

 8.08 Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended,
by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is in writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. The
failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to
enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 
 8.09 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the
provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. 

  
 21 

 8.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by and delivered to each of the Parties.

 8.11 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of either Party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. The successors and
permitted assigns hereunder shall include any permitted assignee as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation (including successive mergers or liquidations) or otherwise). 

8.12 Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given
when delivered or mailed in accordance with the terms of Section 12.11 of the Distribution Agreement. 
 8.13
Performance. Each Party shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Affiliate of such Party. 

8.14 No Public Announcement. Neither Fortune Brands nor H&S shall, without the approval of the other, make any press release
or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that either Party shall be so obligated by law or the rules of any regulatory body, stock exchange or quotation system, in which
case the other Party shall be advised and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications
or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with applicable law, accounting and SEC disclosure obligations or the rules of any stock exchange. 

8.15 Limited Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no individual who is a stockholder, director,
employee, officer, agent or representative of an H&S Party or a Fortune Brands Party, in its capacity as such, shall have any liability in respect of or relating to the covenants or obligations of such Party under this Agreement, and, to the
fullest extent legally permissible, each of H&S and Fortune Brands, for itself and its respective stockholders, directors, employees, officers and Affiliates, waives and agrees not to seek to assert or enforce any such liability that any such
Person otherwise might have pursuant to applicable law. 
 8.16 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the
joint work product of Fortune Brands and H&S and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable. 

8.17 Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim between them with respect to the matters covered
hereby shall be governed by and resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.2 of the Distribution Agreement. 

  
 22 

 8.18 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No Business Employee or other current or former
employee of the Fortune Brands Parties or H&S Parties (or his/her spouse, dependent or beneficiary), or any other person not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement are solely
for the benefit of the Parties and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer upon any third Person any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement or other right in excess of those existing without reference to
this Agreement. 
 8.19 Effect if Distribution Does Not Occur. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if the Distribution Agreement is terminated prior to the Distribution Date, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.
