 (A)  the Unilever Parties shall procure, as regards any Unilever Affiliate and its Territory, that such

agreement terminates in its entirety in accordance with its terms, whichever is earlier or, with respect to a Territory, until this agreement terminates in that Territory in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above
obligations shall not apply to any product proposed by the Unilever Group pursuant to clause 5.2(B)(ii) and with respect to which the relevant CMI Affiliate has withheld the giving of its consent in accordance with such clause or withheld or

 3.2  Each CMI Affiliate shall, in

 (i)  third parties over which neither of the Unilever Parties nor any of their respective Affiliates has any control; 
  
 (ii)  distributors or agents of any member of the Unilever Group in territories outside the Area, where the relevant
member of the Unilever Group (or any other person on its behalf) has used reasonable endeavours to procure that such distributor or agent should not so promote or sell Products; or 

 

 3 

 
  
 (iii)  any distributor or agent of the Unilever Parties
or any of their respective Affiliates or by the Unilever Parties or any such Affiliates where (in the case of sales) such sales were not solicited by such distributor or agent or the Unilever Parties or their respective Affiliates, 

 
 PROVIDED THAT nothing in this clause shall release any Unilever Affiliate from its obligations under either clause 7.10(D),
7.10(E) or clause 13.1(B).

neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates for the promotion of or sales of the Products to Customers by: 
  
 (i)  third parties (whether within or outside the Area) over which neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates has any control; 
  
 (ii)  distributors or agents of CMI or any of its Affiliates outside the Area where the relevant member of CMI’s
Group (or any other person on its behalf) has used reasonable endeavours to procure that such distributor or agent should not so promote or sell Products; or 
  
 (iii)  any distributor or agent of CMI or any of its Affiliates or by CMI or any such Affiliates where (in the case of sales) such sales to Customers were
outside the Area and were not solicited by such distributor or agent or CMI or any of its Affiliates PROVIDED THAT nothing in this clause shall release any CMI Affiliate from its obligations under clause 13.4. 
  
 3.5  Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates from conducting bona fide
negotiations, at any time either after the giving of notice by or on behalf of the Unilever Parties and their respective Affiliates to terminate this agreement (whether as a whole or as regards only one or more specified Territories) in accordance
with its terms or in the last six months of the term (including any renewal term, in the event that any may be agreed between the parties) of this agreement (as the case may be), with any third party in relation to the appointment of such third
party or any one or more of its Affiliates as agent of the Unilever Affiliates in place of the CMI Affiliates in all or any part of the Area following termination of the appointment of the CMI Affiliates under this agreement. 

 
 4.    ARRANGEMENTS IN EACH TERRITORY 
  
 4.1  The parties have agreed that for local law purposes the CMI Affiliate and the Unilever Affiliate in each Territory will enter into one or more agreements for (a) the appointment of such CMI
Affiliate as the agent of such Unilever Affiliate (on the terms and conditions of this agreement) (an “Agency Appointment”), or (b) where an Agency Appointment shall conflict with or violate local law in the territory in which the Agency
Appointment is proposed to be made, the appointment of the CMI Affiliate in such other capacity as shall satisfy the requirements of Applicable Law, including appointment as a distributor (a “Distributor Appointment”). The Agency
Appointments and Distributor Appointments shall, where practicable, have been made prior to the date of this Agreement, but where not so made, shall be made as soon as practicable after the date hereof. In respect of each such Territory, and to the
extent that any such agreement shall not have been entered into at or about the time at which this agreement is entered into, on and after the date of this agreement the relevant CMI Affiliate and the relevant Unilever Affiliate shall negotiate with
a view to agreeing and entering into for such Territory as soon as reasonably practicable an agreement for such appointment. Without prejudice to the foregoing obligations of the CMI Affiliates and the Unilever Affiliates, no Unilever Affiliate
shall enter into any such agreement unless the Unilever Parties have given their prior written consent to the terms of such agreement and no CMI Affiliate shall enter into any such agreement unless CMI has given its prior written consent to such
terms. The terms of any such agreement shall so far as possible be consistent with the terms of this agreement and, where applicable, shall be the minimum necessary to comply with any relevant requirements of local law. However, and notwithstanding
the terms of any such agreement, such CMI Affiliate and such Unilever Affiliate shall procure (if necessary, by arrangements to operate outside the relevant Territory and to be agreed in writing) that such 

 

 4 

 
  
 appointment, including any Distributor Appointment, shall for all purposes (other than those of applicable
local law) be given economic and practical effect as if such agreement had not been entered into and as if the terms of this agreement prevailed to the extent of any conflict. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to such agreements in certain
Territories, title to Products shall be deemed to vest in the relevant CMI Affiliate immediately prior to the sale of such Products to Customers, PROVIDED THAT such CMI Affiliate and the relevant Unilever Affiliate shall procure (if necessary, by
arrangements to operate outside the relevant Territories and to be agreed in writing) that the appointment in such Territories shall for all purposes (other than those of applicable local law) be given economic and practical effect as if such
agreements had not been entered into. 
  
 4.2  Each CMI Affiliate acknowledges that the arrangements contemplated
under this agreement may not fulfil the tax objectives of the relevant Unilever Affiliate in any Territory and agrees that, if such Unilever Affiliate notifies the relevant CMI Affiliate in such Territory that the arrangements in such Territory will
not fulfil such tax objectives, such CMI Affiliate will, after due consultation with such Unilever Affiliate in which consultation such Unilever Affiliate shall take into account any reasonable objections raised by such CMI Affiliate to any proposed
changes, make such changes to the arrangements as such Unilever Affiliate may reasonably request in order to achieve such tax objectives, subject to the Unilever Parties indemnifying (on behalf of themselves and such Unilever Affiliate) CMI and such
CMI Affiliate against any liabilities, costs and detriment suffered by CMI or such CMI Affiliate as a result of such change, PROVIDED however that nothing in this clause 4.2 shall entitle any Unilever Affiliate to alter any Agency Fee or
Additional Agency Fee. 
  
 4.3  Each Unilever Affiliate acknowledges that the arrangements contemplated under this
agreement may not fulfil the tax objectives of the relevant CMI Affiliate in any Territory and agrees that, if such CMI Affiliate notifies the relevant Unilever Affiliate in such Territory that the arrangements in such Territory will not fulfil such
tax objectives, such Unilever Affiliate will, after due consultation with such CMI Affiliate in which consultation such CMI Affiliate shall take into account any reasonable objections raised by such Unilever Affiliate to any proposed changes, make
such changes to the arrangements as such CMI Affiliate may reasonably request in order to achieve such tax objectives, subject to CMI indemnifying (on behalf of itself and such CMI Affiliate) the Unilever Parties and such Unilever Affiliate against
any liabilities, costs and detriment suffered by the Unilever Parties or such Unilever Affiliate as a result of such change, PROVIDED however that nothing in this clause 4.3 shall entitle any CMI Affiliate to alter any Agency Fee or
Additional Agency Fee. 
  
 4.4  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this agreement shall not be effective as
to, or binding on, any Unilever Affiliate or CMI Affiliate in any Territory whose Companies are subject to a Delayed Closing until such Delayed Closing occurs. 
  
 5.    SCOPE OF AGENCY 
  
 5.1  (A) CMI or the applicable CMI Affiliate
shall promote the Products to Customers, identify potential sales opportunities for the sale of the Products to Customers, solicit sales of the Products on behalf of the Unilever Affiliates to Customers and generally act as the representative of the
Unilever Affiliates in the Area, in each case with a view to the promotion and sale of the Products only to Customers. 
  
 (B)  In respect of the promotion and sale of the Products to Customers (but not otherwise), CMI or the applicable CMI Affiliate may (in each such case, as agent for the relevant Unilever Affiliate) enter into contracts in
their own names or in the name of the relevant Unilever Affiliate. 
  
 5.2  (A) The Unilever Affiliate in any
Territory may at any time and at its sole discretion (subject to the conditions specified in this clause 5.2 and clause 5.16 and to giving not less than 12 weeks’ prior written notice to the relevant CMI Affiliate): 

 
 (i)  subject to clause 5.2(B), add products to the Products or otherwise extend the range of Products;

 

 5 

 
  
 (ii)  whether as a result of any discontinuance of
manufacture or otherwise, remove products from the Products; 
  
 (iii)  without prejudice to
sub-paragraph (i) above, change the specification, formulation, packaging, appearance or any other feature of any Product and/or the positioning of or claims made for any such Product; or 
  

(iv)  without prejudice to sub-paragraph (i) above, change the brand or brand name under which any of the Products are promoted or sold under
this agreement. 
  
 In the event that the relevant Unilever Affiliate makes a change pursuant to one of either sub-paragraph
(iii) or sub-paragraph (iv) above in respect of a Product and then makes a further change to such Product under the other of such sub-paragraphs (iii) and (iv) within twelve calendar months of the first such change, such
changes (together) shall be deemed to be a single change falling within  sub-paragraph (i) above. 
  
 (B)  Subject to clause 5.16, as regards any product to be added to the Products or any extension otherwise of the range of Products, the relevant Unilever Affiliate may: 
  
 (i)  at any time, add to the Products or otherwise extend the range of Products to include any product sold under a then
current Unilever Consumer Brand which performs the same or substantially the same function as any Product; and 
  
 (ii)  with the prior written approval of the relevant CMI Affiliate (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed), add to the Products or otherwise extend the range of Products to include any other
product. 
  
 (C)  Prior to giving any notice pursuant to clause 5.2(A), the relevant Unilever
Affiliate and the relevant CMI Affiliate shall discuss in good faith the action which such Unilever Affiliate proposes to take and such CMI Affiliate shall provide such Unilever Affiliate with details of any adverse effects known to such CMI
Affiliate which the action such Unilever Affiliate proposes to take may give rise to including, without limitation, breaching the terms of any relevant contracts with Customers, the obsolescence of any stock held by such CMI Affiliate and any cost
implications for such Unilever Affiliate. The failure of a Unilever Affiliate to give the notice addressed in the first sentence of clause 5.2(A) shall not prejudice any rights which CMI or the applicable CMI Affiliate are given under this
clause 5.2. 
  
 (D)  Upon the removal of any Products in accordance with clause
5.2(A)(ii) above or clause 7.6 below, the relevant CMI Affiliate may submit a final order for its reasonable requirements of the Products then subject to the removal or discontinuation, and the relevant Unilever Affiliate shall use all
reasonable endeavours to supply, or procure the supply of, such requirements as soon as commercially practicable after the date of final order. 
  
 5.3  (A) The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall determine for such Territory and notify the CMI Affiliate in such Territory of: 
  
 (i)  the advertising strategy (if any) for the Products; 
  
 (ii)  the promotional strategy (if any) for the Products (including the material to be used in the execution of any such strategy); and 

 
 (iii)  the Marketing Mix (if any) of the Products to be adopted for promotion and sales of the Products to
Customers or types of Customer, 

 

 6 

 
  
 and shall keep the CMI Affiliate in such Territory informed of any material
developments in those areas which affect the ability of such CMI Affiliate to perform its obligations under this agreement. 
  
 (B)  Each such advertising strategy, promotional strategy and Marketing Mix (if any) determined from time to time for the Products in a Territory and communicated to the CMI Affiliate in such Territory shall be implemented
by such CMI Affiliate to the extent (if any) required (including, without limitation, at any meetings of the kind referred to in clause 6.17) in the performance of its agency duties under this Agreement (and subject to the provisions of
clause 5.4 below). 
  
 (C)  The CMI Affiliate in any such Territory may at any time make
suggestions to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory as to the advertising strategy and promotional strategy for and Marketing Mix of the Products in such Territory. 
  
 (D)  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this agreement shall require the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to advertise or promote
any of the Products in any Territory. 
  
 5.4  The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall (subject to the
provisions of this agreement) bear, or shall procure that another Unilever Affiliate shall bear, all costs and expenses in such Territory relating to: 
  
 (A)  advertising (both general and trade) of the Products; and 
  
 (B)  ad hoc price promotions of any Products, 
  
 and all other trade promotion payments made in relation to the Products in such Territory. 
  
 5.5  (A) In the event that the CMI Affiliate in any Territory incurs any costs or expenses of the kinds referred to in clause 5.4 which are consistent with the Budget (as communicated at meetings of the kind referred
to in clause 6.17) applicable at such time to such Territory, the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory shall reimburse such CMI Affiliate for such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no CMI Affiliate shall be
required to spend any amounts that are in excess of or inconsistent with the Budget on the advertising and promotional matters referred to in clause 5.4 unless (i) it so elects, in which case such CMI Affiliate shall have no entitlement to
reimbursement in respect of any such excess or inconsistent amounts, or (ii) it receives a written directive to so spend from the applicable Unilever Affiliate, in which case such Unilever Affiliate shall promptly reimburse the CMI Affiliate for the
excess or inconsistent amount spent. 
  
 (B) Any such reimbursement may be settled by the deduction of the
relevant amounts from any amount in respect of Net Proceeds of Sale otherwise payable by such CMI Affiliate to the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory from time to time, subject to such CMI Affiliate having previously provided such Unilever
Affiliate with an invoice for and reasonable evidence of the amount and nature of any such costs and expenses and their consistency with the applicable Budget. 
  
 5.6  All written material, labels, posters and other material: 
  
 (A)  intended to be used in promoting the Products; or 
  
 (B)  bearing or
using any of the Trade Marks, 
  
 and, in either case, produced or used by any CMI Affiliate (and not provided by the Unilever Parties or any Unilever
Affiliate) shall be consistent with any applicable Brand Key and Category Strategy unless the Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory shall have previously agreed in writing to the contrary. The CMI Affiliate in such Territory shall from time
to time on reasonable request provide a copy of all such 

 

 7 

 
  
 material to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory. The Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory may
by written notice to the relevant CMI Affiliate in such Territory require such CMI Affiliate to: 
  
 (A)  make such changes to any such material that does not comply with this clause 5.6 as such Unilever Affiliate may reasonably specify in such notice; or 
  
 (B)  cease using any such material that does not comply with this clause 5.6, 
  
 in either such case within a reasonable period of time from receipt of such written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, any such material provided to a CMI Affiliate by the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory
shall be deemed to be consistent with any such Brand Key and Category Strategy unless (i) such Unilever Affiliate notifies such CMI Affiliate to the contrary, or (ii) such material is modified, altered, tampered with or otherwise changed in any way.

  
 5.7  No CMI Affiliate in any Territory shall without the prior written consent of the Unilever Affiliate in such
Territory quote to any Customer a price, discount, Prebate or rebate outside the range of prices, discounts, Prebates and rebates for the Products contained on a written list previously sent (and applicable to the relevant Customer) by such Unilever
Affiliate to the CMI Affiliate in such Territory or valid for a period longer than that specified in such written list in relation to any such price, discount, Prebate or rebate (the “Price Range”). For this purpose (and for the avoidance
of doubt), any such price, discount, Prebate or rebate shall only be valid and effective for the period specified in such written list or, if later, unless and until such Unilever Affiliate provides such CMI Affiliate with a replacement Price Range
(pending receipt of which, the relevant CMI Affiliate may quote to any Customer from the earlier Price Range and such earlier Price Range shall remain valid and effective). When drawing up Price Ranges from time to time, such Unilever Affiliate
shall have regard to then current prices charged by such Unilever Affiliate for consumer products similar to the Products in the relevant Territory and need not specify a maximum limit on prices. Neither CMI nor any CMI Affiliate shall be liable to
the Unilever Parties or any Unilever Affiliate for any failure to sell or promote Products for which a Price Range has not been provided to CMI or such CMI Affiliate by the relevant Unilever Affiliate. 
  
 5.8  Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the local CMI Affiliate and the local Unilever Affiliate, should the Unilever Affiliate in
any Territory give its prior written consent to the CMI Affiliate in such Territory quoting a price, discount, Prebate or rebate outside the Price Range, any such price, discount, Prebate or rebate agreed by such Unilever Affiliate may only be
quoted in respect of orders to be received by such CMI Affiliate after the date of such Unilever Affiliate’s written consent and subject always to such Unilever Affiliate’s right to change such price, discount, Prebate or rebate in respect
of future orders, as provided in clause 5.9 below. Such price, discount, Prebate or rebate shall not apply to orders received by such CMI Affiliate prior to the date of such Unilever Affiliate’s written consent, which orders shall be
invoiced within the Price Range, even if goods relating to those orders are despatched by the relevant CMI Affiliate after the date of such Unilever Affiliate’s written consent. Neither CMI nor any CMI Affiliate shall be liable or otherwise
have any obligation to the Unilever Parties or any Unilever Affiliate for any failure to sell or promote Products for which a Price Range has not been provided to CMI or such CMI Affiliate. 
  
 5.9  The Unilever Affiliate in any Territory may at its sole discretion at any time change any of the prices, discounts, Prebates or rebates to be quoted in respect of the
Products offered for sale in such Territory. Such Unilever Affiliate shall give the CMI Affiliate in such Territory 45 Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to change any such price, discount, Prebate or rebate and no such change
to prices, discounts, Prebates or rebates shall be specified as taking effect prior to the date of such written notice. In the event that any such price, discount, Prebate or rebate would cause a CMI Affiliate to breach any agreement with a Customer
that exists as of the Commencement Date, such CMI Affiliate shall notify the relevant Unilever Affiliate within 15 Business Days of such circumstance. Thereafter, such CMI Affiliate and such Unilever Affiliate shall consult in good faith regarding
reasonable resolutions of such circumstance. 
  
 5.10  When quoting a price, discount, Prebate or rebate for a
Product to a Customer, each CMI Affiliate shall have regard to the period of time for which such price, discount, Prebate or rebate will remain valid after 
  

	

 

 8 

 
  
 the time of such quote and shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that where an order is placed for any
such Product during such period, delivery of such Product to the Customer shall take place either during such period or without undue delay following the expiry of such period. 
  
 5.11  Without prejudice to clause 6.7(B), neither CMI nor any CMI Affiliate shall, without the prior written consent of the Unilever Parties, commit any Unilever
Affiliate after the date of this agreement to any contract with a Customer: 
  
 (A)  which would
terminate later than the expiry of this agreement (or, where notice of earlier termination of this agreement has been given to the local CMI Affiliate on or before the time a commitment has been made in relation to any one or more Territories, later
in any such Territory than the date of such earlier termination); or 
  
 (B)  of a duration exceeding
twenty-four months during the first three years of this agreement or, thereafter, exceeding twelve calendar months which (in either such case) is not terminable by the relevant Unilever Affiliate on six months’ notice or less; or 

 
 (C)  which applies to more than five Territories; or 
  
 (D)  which relates to anticipated Net Proceeds of Sale with respect to such Customer for any calendar year in excess of €3 million. 
  
 5.12  Save to the
extent permitted by terms and conditions of business which comply in all respects with clause 6.7(B) or otherwise with the prior written consent of the Unilever Parties, neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall pledge the credit of the
Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or extend credit to Customers or any other person. 
  
 5.13  Neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall give any warranties (other than any warranties implied by local law in the relevant jurisdiction or any warranties contained in terms and conditions of business which comply
in all respects with clause 6.7(B)) on behalf of the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or incur any liabilities on behalf of the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or in any way seek to bind the
Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, in any such case outside the scope of CMI’s appointment and the appointment of its Affiliates as agents of the Unilever Affiliates on the terms and conditions of this agreement.

  
 5.14  The parties acknowledge that from time to time the CMI Affiliate in any Territory may make suggestions to
the Unilever Parties or to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory concerning the strategy to be adopted for the promotion and sale of the Products. 
  
 5.15  The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall have the right, once in each calendar year and upon reasonable advance notice to the relevant CMI Affiliate, to contact each then current Customer
in such Territory to discuss issues relating to their customer/supplier relationship. 
  
 5.16  Notwithstanding any
other provision in this agreement: 
  
 (A)  In no event will CMI be required to market Products under
this agreement that would violate CMI’s agreements with SCJ, including but not limited to the following: 
  
 (i)  Restricted Accounts.    In no event will CMI be required to sell any Products in any channels of trade other than Industrial Channels of Trade and Permitted Cross–Over Channels of Trade
for more than six months after Closing. 
  
 (ii)  Restricted
Products.    In no event will CMI be required to sell any Restricted Products in any channels of trade other than the Industrial Channels of Trade after the later of six 

 

 9 

 
 months after Closing and the date immediately prior to the date on which CMI is prohibited from making such sales in
accordance with CMI’s agreements with SCJ. 
  
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that CMI and Unilever understand that no sales
referred to in clauses 5.16(A)(i) or (ii) shall be made except to the extent such sales are consistent with CMI’s agreements with SCJ. 
  
 All sales of Products falling into either (i) or (ii) above are the “Ex-Agency Sales”. 
  
 (B)  From time to time after the date of this agreement and until this agreement terminates in its entirety, CMI may determine, in its reasonable discretion with respect to a Territory, that sales of Products already
existing under this agreement (each, an “Existing Product”), or sales of products that could become a “Product” under this agreement pursuant to the operation of clause 5.2(B) (each, a “Proposed
Product”) have or will become Ex-Agency Sales (as defined in sub-clause (A) above) for such Territory. 
  
 (C)  If CMI determines in accordance with sub-clause (B) above that sales of an Existing Product have or will become Ex-Agency Sales in a Territory, CMI shall promptly notify the Unilever Parties and, at a time
mutually agreed in writing, but in no event later than 45 days after the giving of such notice, CMI and the CMI Affiliates shall, from such time forward, no longer have any obligations hereunder to make sales that have or will become Ex-Agency Sales
in such Territory. 
  
 (D)  If CMI determines in accordance with sub-clause (B) above that
sales of a Proposed Product could constitute Ex-Agency Sales in a Territory, CMI shall promptly notify the Unilever Parties and, from the date of such notice, the Proposed Product will become a “Product” hereunder, but neither CMI nor any
CMI Affiliates shall be obligated hereunder to make Ex-Agency Sales with respect to such Product in such Territory. 
  
 (E)  Without prejudice to the generality of the exclusivity provision in clause 3.1(C), such exclusivity provision will not apply to Ex-Agency Sales. 
  
 (F)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 5.16: 
  
 (i)  Following finalization of schedule 9 (including confirmation from SCJ that such schedule 9 does not include any consumer accounts), CMI
and its Affiliates shall not amend such schedule 9 to remove any of the Permitted Cross-Over Channels of Trade from such schedule during the initial term of this agreement (but not including any extensions); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any
change of business of any Permitted Cross-Over Channel of Trade occurs after the date of this agreement as a result of which such Permitted Cross-Over Channel of Trade ceases to be a Cross-Over Channel of Trade (and does not become an Industrial
Channel of Trade), CMI and its Affiliates may, on six months’ prior written notice to the Unilever Parties, remove such Permitted Cross-Over Channel of Trade from such schedule during the initial term of this agreement. 
  
 (ii)  CMI and its Affiliates shall not designate as a Restricted Product, at any time during the initial term of this
agreement (but not including any extensions), any product that uses a brand name listed on Part B of schedule 8 that was, as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, marketed under such brand name in the product categories listed on Part B of
schedule 8. 
  
 (iii)  CMI may from time to time notify the Unilever Parties in writing that
certain products that are Restricted Products may nevertheless be sold by the relevant CMI Affiliate into certain Permitted Cross-Over Channels of Trade (by country, by product). Thereafter, any relevant Unilever Affiliate may add such products to
the Products to be sold into such Permitted Cross-Over Channels of Trade (“Exempt Sales”). Exempt Sales shall not
 

 

 10 

 
 constitute “Ex-Agency Sales”. CMI may thereafter notify the Unilever Parties that (in accordance with CMI’s
agreements with SCJ) CMI is not permitted to continue any Exempt Sales, and CMI will be entitled to discontinue such Exempt Sales within six months of such notification. 
  
 5.17  Buying Agent 
  
 (A)  This clause 5.17 applies to the extent agreed between the Unilever Affiliate and the CMI Affiliate in any Territory from time to time, including in the following Territories: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Russia and Romania. 
  
 (B)  Each relevant CMI Affiliate shall manage on behalf of the relevant Unilever Affiliate supply chain relationships of such Unilever Affiliate relating to purchases of Products by such Unilever Affiliate (for on-sale to
Customers under this agreement) from: 
  
 (i)  other members of the Unilever Group; and/or

  
 (ii)  all other third party suppliers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, other members of
CMI’s Group); 
  
 in each case, consistent with the past practices of such CMI Affiliate and/or the DiverseyLever Business
in the Territory, as applicable. 
  
 (C)  Without prejudice to the generality of clause
5.17(B), such CMI Affiliate shall (on behalf of the relevant Unilever Affiliate): 
  
 (i)  place
orders for and (where relevant) forecast demand for Products; 
  
 (ii)  check stock on delivery and
record stock receipts and reconcile them to invoices; 
  
 (iii)  resolve relevant discrepancies; and

  
 (iv)  settle invoices from any such suppliers relating to purchases of Products in accordance
with agreed credit terms. For supplies from other members of the Unilever Group and from other members of CMI’s Group, invoices shall be settled by the end of the month following the month in which the invoice was generated. 

 
 (D)  In the event that the CMI Affiliate in any Territory is required to make any payment (on behalf of the
relevant Unilever Affiliate) to any relevant supplier of Products to settle an invoice of the kind referred to in clause 5.17(C)(iv), the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory shall reimburse such CMI Affiliate for all such costs and expenses,
including, subject to clause 22(B), VAT, sales tax or duty. Any such reimbursement shall be settled by the end of the month following the month in which such CMI Affiliate provides such Unilever Affiliate with an invoice for and reasonable
evidence of the amount and nature of any such payment. If such CMI Affiliate is required to settle invoices from any third-party supplier significantly earlier than the end of the month following the month in which such invoices are sent, such
Unilever Affiliate and such CMI Affiliate shall agree, in good faith, separate reimbursement arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this sub-clause is that all arrangements made under this clause 5.17 shall be cash-neutral
for such CMI Affiliate, and if such CMI Affiliate shall not have been reimbursed by the date on which the CMI Affiliate is required to settle the relevant invoice of the kind referred to in clause 5.17(C)(iv), it may withhold the amounts due
from any subsequent payment of Net Proceeds of Sale to the relevant Unilever Affiliate. 

 11 
  
 (E)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this clause 5.17, the parties intend that: 
  
 (i)  save as provided in clause 5.17(F), all contracts for the supply of Products to any Unilever Affiliate (for on-sale to Customers under this agreement) should be between such Unilever Affiliate and such supplier
and, for the avoidance of doubt, no CMI Affiliate should be a party to any such contracts; 
  
 (ii)  unless otherwise agreed in any Territory, invoices submitted by suppliers to the relevant Unilever Affiliate pursuant to any such contract should be in the name of such Unilever Affiliate. 
  
 (F)  Nothing in this clause 5.17 shall affect the obligations of any member of CMI’s Group or any member of
the Unilever Group under the Supply Agreements.

 (i)  the companies and assets acquired by members of CMI’s Group pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

 12 
  
 provided,
however, that any failure by a CMI Affiliate to fulfil any such obligation that is caused by a breach by the Unilever Parties of their obligations under the Transition Services Agreement shall not be deemed a breach by such CMI Affiliate of any
terms hereunder. 
  
 6.2  Each CMI Affiliate shall keep up-to-date records of Customers, including
name, location, details of discussions, state of progress, names and positions of Customer personnel.

 (B)  Each CMI Affiliate shall, save where and to the extent such CMI Affiliate shall have agreed to the contrary with the Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory: 
  

(i)  send to the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the tenth Business Day of each

the Area, in each such case to the extent such information is publicly available or otherwise generally available to participants in the same industry as the Unilever Parties and CMI; 
  
 (iii)  keep the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory regularly informed of all new and material regulations affecting the promotion, distribution and sale of
the Products in or into such Territory; provided that any breach of this provision by any CMI Affiliate shall not prejudice such CMI Affiliate’s or CMI’s right to indemnification hereunder in accordance with clause 16.2; and

  
 (iv)  permit the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory and its Representatives to have reasonable
access to and inspect and/or copy the books and records of the relevant CMI Affiliate and things material to the promotion and sale of the Products to the extent that such access, inspection and copies are reasonably required by such Unilever

detailed good faith forecast of sales and stock requirements of the Products anticipated for the next three month period (having regard 

 13 
  
 to sales
made and stock held) which shall be as accurate as is reasonably possible (such Unilever Affiliate acknowledging, however, that such forecast is a prediction of a future event and therefore will not necessarily be indicative of CMI’s or any CMI
Affiliate’s actual future performance and that (save that the same was made in good faith) no representation is made or intended with respect to any such forecast); 
  
 (ii)  submit to the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory in each year reports on the following matters at the following times: 
  
 (A)  in a report dated 15th June and 16th December each year, the advertising and promotional activities which
(consistently with clause 5) it will carry out as an agent hereunder in the six months following fifteen days after the date of each report;

its Territory the name, address and any other reasonable details of any current Customer; 
  
 (iv)  without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, send to the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory upon reasonable request such details of present and future sales of Products and other statistical information and

 (vi)  promptly notify the Unilever Affiliate in any relevant Territory of any suspected infringement of, passing off or unfair competition in relation to
any Trade Mark of which in each case they become aware;

other provisions of this agreement, forthwith following any such event, advise the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory in writing of any “change of control” for the purpose of clause 11.2(A) or (B); 
  
 (viii)  inform the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory within a reasonable period of time, should it anticipate a volume
of sales of any of the Products lower by 10% or more than the volume forecasted pursuant to clause 6.3(C)(i) for that Product; and 
  
 (ix)  otherwise provide to the Unilever Affiliate in its Territory on request all other information whatsoever relating to the performance by it of each CMI Affiliate’s obligations under this
agreement or to the promotion and sale of the Products, as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Unilever Affiliate and the CMI Affiliate in such Territory to facilitate the smooth operation of this agreement and the promotion and
sale of the Products. 

 14 
  
 6.4    Payments 
  
 Subject to any set-off permitted by clause 5.5 in
settlement of an invoice relating to advertising and promotional costs and expenses consistent with any applicable Budget or clause 5.17 or 8.3 in settlement of an invoice relating to the Agency Fee, the CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall
pay to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory an amount equal to the aggregate of the full amount of the Net Proceeds of Sale in such Territory for each Base Month and amounts in respect of VAT, sales tax or duty payable by Customers in respect of
the sales and the provision of after-sales services and customer care to which such Net Proceeds of Sale relate, by the end of each corresponding Payment Period, together with an amount equal to the full value (if any and as notified by way of a
debit note) of all stock known by the relevant CMI Affiliate to be lost or damaged in such Territory while under the control of CMI or any of its Affiliates during each such Base Month (other than as provided in clause 7.5 herein and
where CMI or the relevant CMI Affiliate can show that such loss or damage was not due to the negligence or wilful default of itself or any of its Affiliates). To the extent that the amount paid by a CMI Affiliate to a Unilever Affiliate under this
clause or under clause 12.1(E) in respect of the Net Proceeds of Sale in such Territory for each Base Month and amounts in respect of VAT, sales tax or duty payable by customers in respect of the sales and the provision of after-sales
services and customer care to which such Net Proceeds of Sale relate (after taking account of any offset pursuant to clause 8.4 below) exceeds the amounts actually received by the relevant CMI Affiliate in respect of such Net Proceeds of Sale
and amounts in respect of VAT, sales tax or duty prior to the date of payment, it shall constitute a working capital advance by the relevant CMI Affiliate to the relevant Unilever Affiliate. Such working capital advance shall be deemed to be repaid
on each date on which the relevant CMI Affiliate recovers sums in respect of such Net Proceeds of Sale and amounts in respect of VAT, sales tax or duty after that date but before the date falling 12 calendar months from the last day of the relevant
Base Month and retains such sums pursuant to clause 9.4 below. 
  
 6.5    Staff and
Resource 
  
 Each CMI Affiliate shall have premises, suitably qualified and competent personnel, administrative facilities
and other resources adequate for the performance of its obligations under this agreement, subject to the last paragraph of clause 6.1. 
  
 6.6    Due Diligence 
  
 (A)  The CMI Affiliate in each
Territory shall: 
  
 (i)  make such calls upon Customers in the Territory for the purpose of
promoting the Products as CMI or the applicable CMI Affiliate deems fit; and 
  
 (ii)  attend such
trade exhibitions, commercial and technical presentations and other sales outlets in the Territory during a given calendar year as it and the relevant Unilever Affiliate shall have previously and mutually agreed in writing at the beginning of such
year, 
  
 in each such case in a commercially reasonable manner and consistent with the promotional strategy (if any) determined for such Territory in
accordance with clause 5.3. 
  
 (B) Each CMI Affiliate shall advise the relevant Unilever Affiliate in writing at least
two months (or otherwise as soon as reasonably practicable) before attending any trade exhibition, commercial or technical presentation or other sales outlet in accordance with sub-clause (A)(ii) above where such Unilever Affiliate is or will
be required to provide promotional items or demonstration equipment for such exhibition or presentation save that, where no such items or equipment are required, the period for giving such written advice shall be reduced to 14 days. 

 15 
  
 6.7    Prohibitions 
  
 Neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall, without
the prior written consent of the Unilever Affiliate in any relevant Territory: 
  
 (A)  procure
Customers for any products of the Unilever Affiliates which are not Products or actively solicit purchasers of any Products who are not Customers; or 
  
 (B)  whether in connection with the sale of any Product or otherwise in fulfilment of its obligations under this agreement, enter into any contract or offer
any warranty on terms which are inconsistent with those terms of business provided in writing by or on behalf of the relevant Unilever Affiliate to the relevant CMI Affiliate; or 
  
 (C)  make any delivery commitment to a purchaser or potential purchaser with respect to a Product which is inconsistent with any applicable terms of
business complying with sub-clause (B) above or which the Unilever Parties or any relevant Affiliate of the Unilever Parties have notified that they will be unable to fulfil. 
  
 6.8    Licences 
  
 (A)  Except as provided in clauses 6.8(B) and 7.7, the CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall use reasonable endeavours to obtain and maintain in force on behalf of itself as agent for the relevant Unilever
Affiliate all licences, consents and approvals (“Licences”) of any governmental or quasi-governmental or other regulatory authority as may be required in connection with the storage, promotion and sale of the Products by the CMI Affiliate
in the Territory in fulfilment of its obligations hereunder, and the costs of obtaining and maintaining all such Licences shall be for such CMI Affiliate’s account. The Unilever Affiliate in such Territory shall provide all such information and
technical support as the relevant CMI Affiliate may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the obtaining and maintaining in force of any such Licence. Upon its becoming aware of the same, the CMI Affiliate shall promptly notify the
relevant Unilever Affiliate that a Licence has not been granted or that a Licence has been withdrawn and shall take (at the relevant Unilever Affiliate’s expense) any lawful action that such Unilever Affiliate may require it to take in relation
to the refused or withdrawn Licence. 
  
 (B)  Without limitation of clause 7.7 and except as
otherwise expressly provided in this clause 6.8(B), the Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall use reasonable endeavours to obtain and maintain in force on behalf of such Unilever Affiliate all licences, consents or permits for those
things endemic to the Products themselves, such as those related to the formulations and labelling of Products (the “Product Licences”). The CMI Affiliate in such Territory shall provide all such information and technical and regulatory
support as such Unilever Affiliate may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the obtaining and maintaining in force of any such Product Licence, provided that such support shall not cause such CMI Affiliate to incur unreasonable
expenses. The costs of obtaining and maintaining the Product Licences that were obtained, held or maintained by any Company or Asset Seller for purposes of selling, storing or promoting Products in such Territory on or prior to the Closing Date (or
the date of any Delayed Closing, as the case may be), and which were transferred to CMI or the Designated Buyer at or after Closing (or any Delayed Closing, as the case may be), shall be for the account of CMI (on behalf of itself and each relevant
CMI Affiliate). The costs of obtaining and maintaining Product Licences which were not transferred to CMI or the Designated Buyer at or after Closing (or any Delayed Closing, as the case may be) shall be for the account of the Unilever Parties (on
behalf of themselves and each relevant Unilever Affiliate) and paid for by the Unilever Parties (on behalf of themselves and each relevant Unilever Affiliate) promptly upon invoice. CMI and each CMI Affiliate shall be entitled to deduct from amounts
payable by CMI or such CMI Affiliate to the Unilever Parties or any Unilever Affiliate hereunder any amounts payable by the Unilever Parties or any Unilever Affiliate pursuant to this clause 6.8(B). 

 

 16 

 
 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the CMI Affiliate shall be under no obligation to fulfil any of its obligations
under this Agreement to the extent it is unable, under Applicable Laws, to do so due to the lack of having any Licence or the failure by the Unilever Parties to obtain or maintain any Product Licence. 
  
 (C)  The CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall, upon the reasonable request of the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory
made in the ordinary course of business, co-operate with and assist such Unilever Affiliate in understanding compliance matters relating to the packaging and labelling of products, materials handling, pack sizes and pack design in that Territory.

  
 6.9    Title to Goods 
  
 Title to goods (including, without limitation, all Products) made available by the Unilever Affiliate in any Territory to any CMI Affiliate under this agreement shall, unless
otherwise agreed in writing, remain vested in such Unilever Affiliate until the later of the sale of such goods to a Customer and the time at which title to such goods is expressed to pass in any applicable retention of title clause or other terms
and conditions of sale. For the avoidance of doubt, no title to any such goods shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing, pass to CMI or any of its Affiliates. 
  
 6.10    Insurance 
  
 (A)  CMI and each CMI Affiliate confirms that it has made appropriate insurance arrangements (including, where applicable, through appropriate levels of self-insurance) in relation to any liability it may incur under this
agreement. Each such CMI Affiliate shall also procure that, to the extent practicable, the interest of the Unilever Parties and their respective Affiliates are noted in any such insurance policies relating to stock held on behalf of any relevant
Unilever Affiliate. 
  
 (B)  The Unilever Parties and each Unilever Affiliate confirm that they have
made appropriate insurance arrangements (including, where applicable, through appropriate levels of self-insurance) in relation to any liability they may incur in respect of the Products or product liability under this agreement. 

 
 6.11    Delegation 
  
 Neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall delegate any duties or obligations arising under this agreement otherwise than as expressly permitted under its terms. For the avoidance
of doubt, this clause shall not require the termination of any relevant delegated authority in existence prior to the date of this agreement which is to continue on and after such date. 
  
 6.12    Description as Agents 
  
 Neither CMI nor any of its Affiliates shall describe itself as agent or representative of the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates otherwise than in relation to the promotion and sale of the Products and in a manner
consistent with this agreement. 
  
 6.13    Not to modify or tamper with Products

  
 The CMI Affiliates shall sell the Products in the same condition as that in which they receive them on behalf of the
Unilever Affiliates and shall not modify, alter, remove or tamper with them or any markings or name plates or indications of source or origin on them or any packaging supplied by any of the Unilever Affiliates; provided, however, that CMI and the
CMI Affiliates may put such additional labels or markings on these Products or on any packaging supplied by any of the Unilever Affiliates for the Products as is necessary in order for CMI or such CMI Affiliates to comply with their obligations
under any applicable law or regulation. 

 

 17 

 
 6.14    Stock 
  
 The CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall (save where it is unable to do so from time to time because the relevant Unilever Affiliate has not complied with clause 7.5):

  
 (A)  maintain minimum stock levels on behalf of the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory (as
agreed between such CMI Affiliate and such Unilever Affiliate from time to time based on forecast requirements for the Products and with a view to enabling such CMI Affiliate to meet its obligations under this agreement) at all times during the term
of this agreement; 
  
 (B)  accept orders on behalf of the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory and
settle all such orders out of stock held by such CMI Affiliate on behalf of such Unilever Affiliate;

Affiliate; and 
  
 (D)  once in each calendar year (upon the request of and at a time notified by the
Unilever Affiliate in such Territory), furnish to such Unilever Affiliate a stock audit certificate (signed by an independent third party auditor duly qualified in the relevant Territory and which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be prepared and
signed as part of any audit process undertaken by such CMI Affiliate) relating to the stock held on behalf of such Unilever Affiliate at each relevant site by (or on behalf of) such CMI Affiliate, together with details (save where already previously
reported to the relevant Unilever Affiliate) of all stock revealed by such stock audit to have been lost or damaged while under the control of CMI or such CMI Affiliate since the date on which the last such stock audit was carried out (or, if no
such stock audit has previously been carried out, since the date of this agreement). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Unilever Affiliate may request and receive in a calendar year one stock audit in addition to the stock audit
provided above, so long as it provides reasonable advance written notice requesting same and pays all costs associated therewith. 
  
 6.15    Credit Control

time to time: 
  
 (A)  identify Customers; 
  
 (B)  conduct credit and other similar checks on Customers; and

in each such case as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator and in a manner consistent with the practices and procedures for such Territory applied by such CMI Affiliate in the carrying out of such matters
in relation to the DiverseyLever Business PROVIDED THAT the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory may at any time instruct such CMI Affiliate in writing not to extend credit to any particular Customer, 
  
 AND FURTHER PROVIDED THAT as soon as CMI, or the CMI Affiliate in any Territory, becomes aware of a significant risk of the Historical Benchmark
being substantially exceeded in any calendar year either globally or in that Territory, it will: 
  
 (i)  notify the Unilever Parties or the Unilever Affiliate in that Territory thereof as soon as commercially practicable; 
  
 (ii)  allow the Unilever Parties, or the Unilever Affiliate in that Territory, full access to the books and records relating to the Customer(s) concerned;

 

 18 

 
 (iii)  discuss in good faith with the Unilever Parties, or the Unilever Affiliate in that
Territory, the steps which need to be taken to mitigate the risks and minimise potential losses arising from such circumstances; and 
  
 (iv)  allow the Unilever Parties, or the Unilever Affiliate in that Territory, to take responsibility for collecting any debts outstanding in accordance with clause 19.1(C). 
  
 6.16    Delivery of Products, etc. to Customers 
  
 The CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall from time to time deliver Products (and any relevant after-sales technical support or customer care) to Customers at times consistent with
the terms of any applicable contracts with such Customers save where it is prevented from doing so by any failure of a Unilever Affiliate to comply with clause 7.5. 
  
 6.17    Regular Review Meetings 
  
 The Unilever Affiliate and the CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall from time to time (and at least once in each calendar year) upon reasonable notice given by such Unilever Affiliate attend a review meeting at which the parties may
discuss issues relating to the operation of this agreement in such Territory and the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory may, amongst other things: 
  
 (A)  notify the CMI Affiliate in such Territory of any new advertising strategy, promotional strategy and/or Marketing Mix determined for such Territory
under clause 5.3(A); 
  
 (B)  notify such CMI Affiliate of any new Price Range applicable to
such Territory in accordance with clause 5.7; 
  
 (C)  notify such CMI Affiliate of the Budget
for such Territory for the period specified in such Budget; and

Affiliate how to implement any applicable advertising strategy, promotional strategy, Marketing Mix and/or Price Range in such Territory in relation to Customers or types of Customer and how such CMI Affiliate will from time to time comply with its
obligations under clause 6.6(B). 
  
 7.    OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNILEVER PARTIES 
  
 7.1    General 
  
 The Unilever Parties and their respective Affiliates shall during the continuance of this agreement at all times act dutifully and in good faith toward CMI and the CMI Affiliates (in their capacity as agents of the Unilever
Affiliates on the terms and conditions of this agreement). 
  
 7.2    Notification of decrease in volume

  
 If at any time it expects that the volume of sales of the Products in a Territory will be significantly lower than the

 7.3    Sales Literature and other documentation 
  
 If and to the extent that the CMI Affiliate in a Territory is implementing an advertising strategy and/or a promotional strategy (in each case, subject to clause 5), the

 19 

 
 7.4    Training 
  
 The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall receive at its premises for training in the technical characteristics of the Products and the servicing thereof in such Territory such
numbers of employees of the CMI Affiliate in such Territory as may be necessary to enable such CMI Affiliate properly to perform its functions in such Territory under this agreement. The content and duration of the training programme shall be
determined by such Unilever Affiliate after consultation with the relevant CMI Affiliate but shall be comparable to the training otherwise offered to employees of Unilever Affiliates or other agents performing similar functions. All travelling and
living expenses (but not the cost of actual training) of any employees of the relevant CMI Affiliate so received by the relevant Unilever Affiliate for training shall be borne by the relevant CMI Affiliate. 
  
 7.5    Stock 
  
 The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall use its best endeavours to procure the timely delivery (based on the relevant CMI Affiliate’s request for the same) to the CMI Affiliate in such Territory (or as it may
reasonably direct) of its requirements of stock of the Products requested by it pursuant to this agreement PROVIDED THAT no Unilever Affiliate shall be in breach of such obligation to the extent that CMI or any of its Affiliates shall have failed to
supply any such Products (or any other materials) under the relevant Supply Agreement and such failure is not due to a breach by the relevant Unilever Affiliate thereunder. Upon the delivery of such stock, the receiving CMI Affiliate shall have 5
days to identify missing or damaged stock and notify the relevant Unilever Affiliate of same. The relevant Unilever Affiliate shall promptly thereafter replace the necessary or damaged stock identified in the notice and reimburse the CMI Affiliate
for all costs associated with disposing of the damaged stock in accordance with the relevant Unilever Affiliate’s reasonable instructions. 
  
 7.6    Continued Manufacture 
  
 The Unilever Parties and their
respective Affiliates shall be under no obligation to continue the manufacture of all or any of the Products but each relevant Unilever Affiliate shall give at least 12 weeks’ notice to each affected CMI Affiliate prior to discontinuing the
manufacture of any of the Products. 
  
 7.7    Import Licences 
  
 The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining in force at its own expense and on its own behalf (and,
if necessary, on behalf of the CMI Affiliate in such Territory) all licences, consents and approvals of any governmental or quasi-governmental or other regulatory authority as may be required in connection with the import of the Products into such
Territory. The CMI Affiliate in such Territory shall (subject to the relevant Unilever Affiliate meeting such CMI Affiliate’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of which it has provided written evidence to such Unilever Affiliate) provide all
such reasonably available information and all such technical support as such Unilever Affiliate may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the obtaining and maintaining in force of any such licence, consent or approval.

  
 7.8    Product Recalls 
  
 (A)  In the event that for any reason it becomes necessary to implement a recall of any Products sold to Customers or otherwise provide notice to Customers
or end-users with respect to any product warranty, product liability or product use or safety matter relating to any Product, the Unilever Affiliate in any Territory may give instructions to the CMI Affiliate in such Territory as to the manner in
which such recall or notification shall be carried out. Without prejudice to clause 16, the carrying out of all such recalls and notifications shall be at the relevant Unilever Affiliate’s sole cost and expense. 

 

 20 

 
 (B)  The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall keep the CMI Affiliate in its Territory
informed in reasonable detail of any circumstances of which it is aware which would or might give rise to a recall of any Products sold to Customers or to substantially increased levels of complaints about Products from Customers. 

 
 7.9    Packaging 
  
 Each relevant Unilever Affiliate shall be responsible for the packaging, including labels, markings, name plates or indications of source or origin of the Products, for sale to
Customers without the involvement of CMI or any CMI Affiliate (except as CMI or the CMI Affiliate may do, but shall not be required to do, under clause 6.13) and for assessing that such packaging is in compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Each relevant Unilever Affiliate shall promptly notify CMI or the relevant CMI Affiliate if any Applicable Law requires that CMI or such CMI Affiliate be identified on any such packaging and shall provide reasonable access to personnel, information
and documentation relating to any such requirement on a timely basis. 
  
 7.10    Other Duties

  
 The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall: 
  
 (A)  reimburse CMI or the CMI Affiliate in such Territory for the cost of such samples, catalogues, price lists, terms and conditions of sale, advertising,
promotional and selling materials, literature and information as CMI or such CMI Affiliate may from time to time reasonably require for the purpose of the promotion and sale of the Products in the Area; 
  
 (B)  supply to such CMI Affiliate any information that may come into its possession which is not commercially confidential

which the Unilever Parties or any Unilever Affiliate have sold (directly or indirectly through distributors or agents) any Products in the Area pursuant to clause 3.4(A)(iii) (to the extent that the Unilever Parties or such Unilever Affiliate
have such name and address and are able so to provide it). 
  
 8.    REMUNERATION OF CMI AND ITS AFFILIATES 

 
 8.1  The Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall pay to CMI Affiliate in such Territory an aggregate amount equal to the
Agency Fee and the Local Additional Agency Fee in consideration of such CMI Affiliate acting as the agent of such Unilever Affiliate (on the terms and conditions of this agreement). 
  
 8.2  The CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall send to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory an invoice in respect of the Agency Fee applicable to such Territory monthly
(or otherwise periodically as agreed) in arrear as soon as reasonably practicable in and in any event no later than five Business Days following the end of the relevant Base Month. 
  
 8.3  Each such invoice shall be settled by setting off the amount due under such invoice against the amount due from such CMI Affiliate to such Unilever Affiliate under
clause 6.4 above. 

 

 21 

 
  
 8.4  Where a CMI Affiliate is obliged to account to a
Unilever Affiliate for any amounts under clause 9.4(A) or (B), such Unilever Affiliate shall be required to pay an equivalent amount to such CMI Affiliate by way of Agency Fee and such obligation may be satisfied by setting off
the relevant amount against the amount due under clause 9.4(A) or (B). 
  
 8.5  If, by
the date falling 12 calendar months from the last day of the Base Month to which the relevant payment under clause 6.4 relates, any part of the working capital advance described as arising in relation to such Base Month under clause
6.4 above remains outstanding, such amount shall be written off by such CMI Affiliate and such write-off shall be treated as a commensurate refund of and reduction in the Agency Fee payable in respect of the relevant Base Month. 

 
 8.6  (A)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in this agreement or agreed between a Unilever Affiliate
and a CMI Affiliate, any payment to be made under this agreement shall be made in full, without any set-off, restriction or condition (whether for or on account of any counterclaim or otherwise) and without, and free and clear of, any deduction or
withholding whatsoever (save only as required by law). 
  
 (B)  Unless otherwise expressly provided
or agreed between a Unilever Affiliate and a CMI Affiliate, if any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any sums payable by a CMI Affiliate or CMI or a Unilever Affiliate or a Unilever Party under this Agreement (in any
case, for the purposes of this paragraph (B) and paragraph (C) below, a “Payer”), the Payer shall pay to the person to whom payment is to be made (the “Recipient”) such sum as will, after
such deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Recipient with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make such deduction or withholding. 
  
 (C)  Unless otherwise expressly provided or agreed between a Unilever Affiliate and a CMI Affiliate, if a Payer makes a
deduction or withholding pursuant to paragraph (B) above, and the Recipient (or any member of the Recipient’s group) obtains the benefit of any deduction, credit, allowance, set-off or other relief from taxation in respect of or as a
result of the deduction or withholding (a “Tax Benefit”), the Recipient shall pay to the Payer an amount which will leave the Recipient’s group (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the
circumstances giving rise to the withholding or deduction not arisen, provided that nothing in this clause shall affect the Recipient’s group’s right to arrange its tax affairs generally in such manner as it deems fit and such
Recipient’s group shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Payer, except that, with respect to the Recipient’s year–end audit, the Payer may request, and the Recipient shall (at
the Payer’s sole cost and expense) procure, the delivery to the Payer of confirmation from the Recipient’s auditors as to whether any Tax Benefit was received by the Recipient for the year subject to the audit. 
  
 9.    RECEIVABLES AND OTHER PAYMENTS 
  
 9.1  Each CMI Affiliate shall deliver invoices (in a form and a manner suitable for the purposes of any applicable VAT, sales tax or duty and as agreed with the relevant Unilever Affiliate prior to the
date of this agreement) to Customers for all sales of Products and after-sales services and customer care by such CMI Affiliate on behalf of the Unilever Affiliates on the terms and conditions of this agreement. 
  
 9.2  The CMI Affiliate in each Territory shall on behalf of the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory collect all
receivables and other sums due or becoming due to such Unilever Affiliate in relation to all sales of Products and after-sales services and customer care: 
  
 (A)  as at the Commencement Date, in respect of all prior periods; and 
  
 (B)  on and from the Commencement Date, until termination of this agreement. 

 

 22 

 
  
 9.3  In instances where a CMI Affiliate invoices a Customer as an agent
hereunder and also, separately invoices that same Customer, but not as an agent hereunder, and any subsequent payment (not specifying any invoice) by such Customer is for an amount which is less than the total amount of that which has been invoiced
by such CMI Affiliate (as both an agent and not as an agent), then CMI shall apply such payment against the invoices in the chronological order of such invoices, starting with the invoice earliest dated and moving to the next only when such earlier
invoice is paid in full. 
  
 9.4  To the extent that sums in respect of Net Proceeds of Sale or amounts in respect of
VAT, sales tax or duty relating to a Base Month are collected by the relevant CMI Affiliate on behalf of the relevant Unilever Affiliate after the date on which the relevant CMI Affiliate made its payment to the relevant Unilever Affiliate under
clause 6.4 in respect of such Base Month but prior to the end of the twelfth calendar month following such Base Month and do not exceed the amount of the outstanding working capital advance arising under clause 6.4 by reference to that
Base Month, the relevant CMI Affiliate shall be entitled to retain such amounts by way of repayment of the relevant working capital advance. To the extent that such sums: 
  
 (A) exceed the amount of the outstanding working capital advance; or 
  
 (B)  are received after the end of the twelfth calendar month following such Base Month; or 
  
 (C)  relate to a period prior to the date of this agreement, 
  
 the relevant CMI Affiliate shall be required to account to the relevant Unilever Affiliate for such amounts. 
  
 9.5  The parties acknowledge that, in each Territory, the relevant CMI Affiliate will incur certain expenses between the Commencement Date and the end of a period of time equal in length to the Payment Period for its
Territory (such period of time in this clause, the “Qualifying Period”), in the course of acting as agent of the relevant Unilever Affiliate on the terms and conditions of this agreement. 
  
 9.6  Where, in any Territory, between the date of this agreement and the end of the relevant Qualifying Period, the CMI Affiliate in such
Territory receives any amount on behalf of the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory relating to the sale of the Products (or products which are the same as the Products) made at any time prior to the date of this agreement, such CMI Affiliate may
retain a percentage of such amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts so retained, so long as, together with the aggregate of any amounts received under clause 9.7, such amounts do not in aggregate exceed the Expenses Amount. 

 
 9.7  The CMI Affiliate in any Territory may, during the Qualifying Period, request the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory to
make a working capital float (each, a “Float”) to it to enable it to meet the Expenses Amount subject to the amounts so floated, together with any amounts retained under clause 9.6, not in aggregate exceeding the Expenses Amount.

  
 9.8  The CMI Affiliate and the Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory shall each (at their own expense)
maintain records of any amounts retained or floated in accordance with this clause, and such CMI Affiliate shall notify such Unilever Affiliate that it has retained any amount in accordance with clause 9.6 on each occasion that it does so.

  
 9.9  Any amounts: 
  
 (A)  retained by a CMI Affiliate under clause 9.6; or 
  
 (B)  floated by a Unilever Affiliate under clause 9.7; 
  
 shall constitute an advance by the relevant Unilever Affiliate to the relevant CMI Affiliate. 

 

 23 

 
  
 9.10  The aggregate amount of all amounts so retained or floated will (i)
be set off against the amount of the relevant Local Additional Agency Fee when the same is paid or in accordance with paragraph 3 of schedule 6 and shall be discharged by being so set off, or (ii) if such date occurs earlier, shall be
repaid by such CMI Affiliate on the fifth anniversary of the date of this agreement or otherwise at such earlier time as it may elect. 
  
 9.11  Save as expressly provided in clauses 9.5 to 9.9 (inclusive), nothing in such clauses shall affect any other obligation of CMI or any of the CMI Affiliates in this agreement. 
  
 10.    TERM AND DURATION 
  
 Save where this agreement shall terminate earlier under clause 11, this agreement shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the date of this agreement unless the parties mutually agree in writing, not less than 30 days prior
to the expiration of the initial term (or any subsequent term, as applicable) of this agreement, to renew this agreement for an additional, agreed-upon period. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this agreement shall oblige any party to this
agreement to agree to any extension of the term of this agreement. 
  
 11.    EARLY TERMINATION

same within 28 days of being given written notice of such breach; or 
  
 (B)  if any order is made or
a resolution is passed for the winding-up of the other party or if a provisional liquidator is appointed in respect of the other party or if a petition is presented and not discharged within 60 days or a meeting of the creditors of the other party
shall have been called or a meeting is convened for the purposes of winding up the other party; or

other party shall have a receiver (which expression shall include an administrative receiver) of all or any of its undertaking or assets appointed or cease or threaten to cease to carry on its business or compound with its creditors or be unable to
pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (or any statutory modification or re-enactment for the time being); or

 (D)  CMI or the CMI Affiliate in any relevant Territory may
terminate this agreement forthwith upon giving notice in writing to the Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory if such Unilever Affiliate becomes a subsidiary of any of the following persons: Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Henkel,

procure that its Affiliate in the relevant Territory terminates, this agreement as regards the promotion and sale of the Products in any particular Territory forthwith upon giving notice in writing to the Affiliate of the other party in such
Territory if: 
  
 (A)  any of the events listed in clause 11.1 occurs in relation to such
Affiliate (in such clause, the “other party”); 
  
 (B)  the other party or any of its
Affiliates engages in any conduct which has, or might reasonably be expected to have, a prejudicial effect on the reputation of the Products or of the other party or any of its respective Affiliates in such Territory such that the resulting damage,
if any, would be adverse and material; or 
  
 (C)  it is not or ceases to be economically viable or
otherwise consistent with sound business principles in the light of all relevant circumstances for the terminating party in such Territory to promote or sell the Products or to continue to do so.

(on behalf of itself and each CMI Affiliate) in the event that CMI and/or its Affiliates do not meet the Annual Sales Threshold for the Area in any calendar year provided that such failure to meet such Annual Sales Threshold was not due to any
removal or discontinuance of products under clauses 5.2(A)(ii) or 7.6 (net of any additions of Products under clause 5.2(A)(i)), any Product recalls, a Force Majeure, or a breach of a material term in this agreement by one or

Payment Period through the end of the five year term of this agreement, an amount equal to the EBITDA element of the Agency Fee for the relevant Territory (as determined in accordance with schedule 10) that would have been otherwise then
payable to the CMI Affiliate based on the actual sales of the Products or services no longer being sold by CMI due to the termination (but being sold by others) in the sales channels through which CMI sold such Products or services immediately prior
to such termination. CMI may conduct an audit of such sales once a year upon reasonable advance notice to the Unilever Parties and shall be given access to all information relevant thereto.

minus the EBITDA (as determined in accordance with the same principles, consistently applied, as were applied in the preparation of the P&L Account referred to in Section A of schedule 10) of the Unilever Parties or their Affiliates from
actual sales of the Products or services by the Unilever Parties or their Affiliates (or by others on their behalf) after such termination in the sales channels through which CMI sold such Products or services immediately prior to such termination.

 27

 (A) is employed by CMI or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the termination (whether in whole or only as regards one or more Territories) of this agreement;
and

their respective Affiliates or any distributor or agent appointed by any of those persons,

of this agreement pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
  
 15.    BAD DEBTS

Sale Value) experienced by CMI and the CMI Affiliates in relation to sales of the Products in any given calendar year (being after 31st December, 2001) during the term of this agreement is at least twice as high as the Historical Benchmark, the
excess amount of such bad debts over and above double the level of the Historical Benchmark shall be split as to: 
  
 (i)  50% to CMI; and 
  
 (ii)  50% to the Unilever Parties, 

 
 and any necessary balancing payment shall be made by way of an increase in the Agency Fee by the relevant parties to reflect such allocation within 20 Business
Days of the date on which the level of bad debts (so expressed) is calculated for such calendar year.

redundancy or other severance payments and salary related to, in such case, such past employment with CMI. 
  
 16.2  The Unilever Parties (on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates) agree with CMI (on trust for itself and each CMI Affiliate) that they shall indemnify and keep CMI and/or its Affiliates indemnified on an

its Affiliates under any Supply Agreement); 
  
 (C)  claims brought by a Governmental Authority or
any third party against CMI or any of its Affiliates that the Products, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any materials provided to CMI or any of its Affiliates by the Unilever Parties or any of their Affiliates pursuant to clause

clause 5.6 or 6.13 in each case of CMI or any of its Affiliates or to the extent that 

 

 29 

 
  
 such circumstances are the subject of a claim with merit against CMI or any of its
Affiliates under any Supply Agreement); and

 SCHEDULE 4 
  
 AGENCY FEE 
  
 1.  The aggregate amount of the Base Agency Fee payable
in respect of a calendar month to any CMI Affiliate shall be equal to the specified percentage (set forth on schedule 2) for its Territory of the Net Proceeds of Sale made by that CMI Affiliate as agent of the relevant Unilever Affiliates for
such calendar month, subject to adjustment as follows. 
  
 2.  To the extent that the Net Proceeds of Sale of any CMI
Affiliate as agent of the relevant Unilever Affiliates for any calendar year exceed the Base Year Sales for such CMI Affiliate’s Territory, the aggregate amount of the Base Agency Fee payable in respect of such excess shall be equal to the
specified percentage (set forth on schedule 2 and as calculated on schedule 10 (the “Reduced Agency Fee”) for its Territory of such excess. 
  
 3.  Each CMI Affiliate shall ensure that the amount of the Agency Fee stated in any invoice submitted by it in accordance with clause 8.3 shall be consistent with the
principles set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that: 
  
 (A)  initially in any calendar year, any such invoices are likely to reflect a Agency Fee payable at the rate shown in paragraph 1 above; 
  
 (B)  in any invoice for a calendar month in which the aggregate Net Proceeds of Sale of the relevant CMI Affiliate for the relevant calendar year to date
have exceeded the Base Year Sales for such CMI Affiliate’s Territory, the Base Agency Fee will be payable at the specified percentage shown in paragraph 1 above (to the extent it relates to Net Proceeds of Sale up to the amount of the
Base Year Sales) and at the specified percentage shown in paragraph 2 above (to the extent it relates to Net Proceeds of Sale in excess of the Base Year Sales); and 
  
 (C)  in any remaining calendar months of the relevant calendar year, the Reduced Agency Fee for such Territory will be payable at the rate shown in
paragraph 2 above. 
  
 4.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Agency Fee payable from time to time
under this agreement has been structured to take account of the provision of after-sales technical support and customer care relating to the Products by the CMI Affiliates, as more particularly described elsewhere in this agreement. 

  
 SCHEDULE 6 
  
 ADDITIONAL AGENCY FEE 
  
 1.  (A)  The aggregate amount of the
Additional Agency Fee shall be [**] subject to clause 12.2 and to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this schedule. 
  
 (B)  The maximum aggregate amount of Additional Agency Fee payable under this agreement in respect of any individual Territory shall (subject to clause 12.2) be the Local Additional Agency Fee.

  
 2.  (A)  Where this agreement terminates in whole (and not only as regards one or more specified
Territories), the Unilever Affiliate in each Territory shall pay the Local Additional Agency Fee (if any) applicable to such termination to CMI (and/or any relevant CMI Affiliates) within 30 Business Days of the date of such termination.

  
 (B)  Where the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates terminate this agreement as
it relates to the promotion and sale of the Products in one or more but not all of the Territories, the CMI Affiliate in each Territory the subject of such termination shall have the right, on 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Unilever Affiliate in its Territory, to require such Unilever Affiliate to pay to it an amount equal to the Local Additional Agency Fee for such Territory (less an amount equal to the aggregate of all (if any) payments of the Local Additional Agency
Fee previously made for such Territory). Such payment shall, if such CMI Affiliate shall so request on reasonable notice to such Unilever Affiliate, be made in the local currency of the relevant Territory at the closing mid-point spot rate of
exchange between the euro and the relevant local currency quoted by Barclays Bank plc on the immediately preceding Business Day in London, England. 
  
 3.  (A)  Where during the term of this agreement the CMI Affiliate in any Territory does not meet the Base Year Sales for such Territory for any calendar year, such CMI Affiliate shall have the right, on
30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Unilever Affiliate in such Territory, to require such Unilever Affiliate to pay to it some or all of the Additional Agency Fee for such Territory in accordance with this paragraph 3 (and
subject to paragraph 1(B) above). Such payment shall, if such CMI Affiliate shall so request on reasonable notice to such Unilever Affiliate, be made in the local currency of the relevant Territory at the closing mid-point spot rate of
exchange between the euro and the relevant local currency quoted by Barclays Bank plc on the immediately preceding Business Day in London, England. 
  
 (B)  The maximum amount of any such payment as may be requested by the relevant CMI Affiliate pursuant to paragraph 3(A) shall (save as otherwise
provided in this paragraph 3) be equal to such percentage of the Local Additional Agency Fee for such Territory as is equal to the percentage of the Base Year Sales for such Territory and calendar year by which the Net Proceeds of Sale for
such Territory and calendar year fell short of such Base Year Sales. 
  
 (C)  The Unilever Parties
and their respective Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any payment to any CMI Affiliate in accordance with this paragraph 3 where the amount of such payment would be less than 10% of the Local Additional Agency Fee for such Territory.

  
 (D)  Following the making of any payment by a Unilever Affiliate in accordance with this
paragraph 3, the Base Year Sales for such Unilever Affiliate’s Territory shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of Sale for such Territory for the calendar year for which such payment was made. 
  
 4.  Where the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall have made one or more payments to CMI or any of its Affiliates
in accordance with paragraph 3 above in respect of a Territory, the aggregate 

  
 amount of the Local Additional Agency Fee payable on termination of this agreement in respect of such Territory
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of all such payments. In the event that the amount so paid by the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates (together with such interest) exceeds the relevant Local Additional Agency
Fee, the Unilever Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any further payment in respect of the relevant Local Additional Agency Fee and CMI shall (on behalf of the relevant CMI Affiliates) pay an amount equal to such
excess to the Unilever Parties (as trustees for each relevant Unilever Affiliate). 
  
 5.  Where on the termination
of this agreement (whether in whole or only as regards one or more Territories) or otherwise any employee of CMI or any of its Affiliates shall (whether by operation of law or otherwise) become an employee of either of the Unilever Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates or of any third party assuming (whether as agent of the Unilever Parties or otherwise) the responsibilities of CMI and its Affiliates under this agreement, the amount of the Additional Agency Fee (or any Local Additional
Agency Fee) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the final annual salary of the affected employee plus pensions costs for such employee calculated on a basis consistent with that used for the purpose of determining the Base Agency
Fee for the first year of the term of this agreement, multiplied by the relevant regional factor taken into account in determining the amount of the Local Additional Agency Fee for the relevant Territory, less an amount equal to the actual severance
costs (if any) incurred by CMI or any relevant CMI Affiliate in connection with such transfer of the employment of such employee. Where in the case of any affected employee such costs vary significantly from year to year, such total annual cost will
be deemed to be the average total annual cost of employing that employee (or, where he has been replaced, his predecessor) in the previous two financial years). 
  
 6.  Save for any amounts payable by the Unilever Parties or any of their respective Affiliates in accordance with clause 16, nothing in this agreement shall require the Unilever Parties or any
of their respective Affiliates to pay to CMI or any of its Affiliates an aggregate amount on termination of this agreement through effluxion of time exceeding the Additional Agency Fee. 
  
 7.  The Unilever Parties and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled from time to time to set off against any payment of the Additional Agency Fee (or any Local
Additional Agency Fee) an amount equal to the aggregate of: 
  
 (A)  any outstanding payment in
respect of Net Proceeds of Sale owing to any relevant Unilever Affiliate (after allowing for set-off of any Agency Fee payable in respect thereof); 
  
 (B)  any other outstanding payment due to any relevant Unilever Affiliate under this agreement (including, without limitation, under clauses 9.9 and
16); and 
  
 (C)  any amount which the relevant Unilever Affiliate reasonably determines would
or might be payable to it either in respect of any such Net Proceeds of Sale or otherwise under this agreement (including, without limitation, under clause 16).

Control, or (iii) in an Approved Sale; provided, that such restriction shall continue to be applicable to the Class A Shares after any such Transfer, the Transferees of such Class A Shares shall have executed an Assumption Agreement and the
Transferring Stockholder promptly notifies the Company and the Unilever Stockholder of the names of such Transferees. 
  
 (b)  The restriction contained in Section 7.1 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of all or any Class B Shares by the Unilever Stockholder (i) that is previously approved in writing by the Holdco Stockholder, which

with the other Stockholders providing that so long as such Transferee holds such Transferring Stockholder’s Shares, such Transferee will remain a member of such Transferring Stockholder’s Group. If such Transferee ceases to be such a
member, the foregoing Transfer will be deemed, without further action, to have been rescinded. 
  
 (d)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII, no Transfer of Shares or any other interest in the Company may be made unless in the opinion of counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), such Transfer
would not require registration under the Securities Act or any state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or the interest to be Transferred, or cause the Company to be required to register as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

on a date as the Company shall specify by notice to the Unilever Stockholder, which date shall be as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the applicable Put Notice and in any event not later than (a) 90 calendar days after the later to

 may elect, by written notice given no later than five Business days prior to the Eighth Year Put Closing Date, to

 8.4  
Termination and Limitations of Put Rights. 
  
 (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this or any other agreement, the right of the Unilever Stockholder to sell and the obligation of the Company to purchase the Put Securities to the Company pursuant to Section 8.1 (i) on a Put Closing Date prior to the Eighth Year, shall
be subject to and conditional upon consummation by the Company of a Refinancing, and (ii) for cash on the Eighth Year Put Closing Date, shall be subject to and conditional upon (A) consummation by the Company of a Refinancing or an Eighth Year
Action, and (B) such sale and purchase not violating, constituting a breach of, or causing an event of default under (or an event that, after notice or passage of time or both, would constitute such a violation, breach or event of default) the
Financing Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of the Exit Note in accordance with Section 8.3 shall not be subject to any of the conditions set out in this Section 8.4. 
  
 (b)  The Company’s obligation to purchase Put Securities or any Partially Put Securities under Sections 8.1 and 8.3 shall be suspended so long as, and to the extent
that, immediately after giving effect to such purchase, the Company would violate any provision of the DGCL; provided, however, that such obligation shall revive immediately after the condition referred to in this subsection (b) no longer
exists. The Company shall (i) take such steps in accordance with the DGCL, including Sections 160 and 172 thereof, as are necessary to determine whether any such purchase would violate any provision of the DGCL, including instructing its independent
auditors to prepare such calculations and financial reports as may be necessary for the Board to make such determination, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts prior to the Seventh Year and best efforts after the Seventh Year to structure any
Refinancing to avoid any such violation; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to issue Common Stock or other equity securities or Common Stock Equivalents to any Person in connection with any Refinancing. 

 
 (c)  Following the receipt of a Put Notice, the Company shall (i) prior to the Seventh Year, use its reasonable best efforts to
consummate a Refinancing (to be consummated on the applicable Put Closing Date), including providing all information concerning itself (and confirmation of the accuracy of such information) reasonably required in connection therewith, and (ii) after
the Seventh Year, use its best efforts to consummate such a Refinancing and to take Eighth Year Actions in accordance with Section 8.13. If after receiving a Put Notice at any time prior to the Eighth Year and after having used such efforts, the
Company shall not have consummated a Refinancing which will yield Net Proceeds of more than 50% of the Put Price by the 120th calendar day following receipt by the Company of the Initial Unilever Proposals (or the date by which the Unilever
Stockholder is required to deliver the Initial Unilever Proposals pursuant to Section 8.9) (the “Refinancing Period”), the Initial Put Notice shall terminate and the right to exercise the Put Option shall be suspended for the period
commencing on the last day of the Refinancing Period and ending after the earlier of the first anniversary of the date on which the Initial Put Notice was given or the Eighth Year, at which time the Unilever Stockholder shall have the right to give
a new Put Notice; provided, however, that if the Refinancing Period would 
 

 50 

Table of Contents

  
 expire prior to the date on which Fair Market Value shall have been determined pursuant to Sections 8.9, 8.10 and
8.11, the Refinancing Period shall be extended until such date. 
  
 (d)  If the Company can arrange for a Refinancing
which will yield Net Proceeds of more than 50% but less than 100% of the Put Price within the Refinancing Period, (i) the Unilever Stockholder shall designate, by written notice given to the Company (the “Partial Put Notice”)
within five Business Days of receipt by the Unilever Stockholder of notice of such arrangements, the Partially Put Securities, including its election in respect of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Partially Put Securities,” (ii)
the Company shall be required to purchase only the Partially Put Securities as so elected, (iii) the Initial Put Notice shall terminate and the right to exercise the Put Option shall be suspended with respect to the Put Securities other than the
Partially Put Securities (the “Remaining Put Securities”) for the period commencing on the Put Closing Date on which such Partially Put Securities are purchased and ending on the earlier of the date falling 18 months after such Put
Closing Date or the Eighth Year, at which time a new Put Notice shall be deemed to have been given in respect of all of the Remaining Put Securities, and the Company shall renew its efforts to arrange a Refinancing, and (iv) the provisions of this
Section 8.4 shall apply to the Remaining Put Securities, and the Put Price in relation to the Remaining Put Securities shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company consummates a Refinancing which
will yield less than 100% of the Put Price following the exercise of a Put Option, (x) Unilever may elect, by written notice to the Company given on or prior to the applicable Put Closing Date, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining
Unilever Shares as of such Put Closing Date, and (y) the Unilever Stockholder shall not be required to sell Put Shares pursuant to this subsection (d) to the extent that, as a result of such sale, the Unilever Stockholder’s Ownership Interest
would be reduced below 10% without its consent; provided, however, that if the Partially Put Securities include Put Shares and Put Notes, the Company shall not be required to purchase such Shares and Notes in relative amounts other
than as described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Partially Put Securities” herein. 
  
 (e)  Each
giving or deemed giving of a Put Notice to the Company pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 8.4 shall be deemed a separate exercise by the Unilever Stockholder of its Put Option and shall cause the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3
and this Section 8.4 to apply, mutatis mutandi, to such exercise, as if such Put Notice was the Initial Put Notice given hereunder. 
  
 (f)  If the Company purchases less than all the Put Securities pursuant to this Section 8.4 or Section 8.13(a), the Company shall, in good faith, consider possible alternatives regarding the purchase of the
Remaining Put Securities and, at the Unilever Stockholder’s reasonable request, meet in good faith with the Unilever Stockholder from time to time to discuss such alternatives; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to, and in its sole discretion may elect not to, pursue any such alternatives, and no such meetings or discussions shall be binding in any respect. 
  
 (g)  On the maturity date of the Exit Note, the right of the Unilever Stockholder to exercise the Put Option pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to Notes beneficially owned by any Unilever Group
Member and, to the extent it relates to Put Notes, any outstanding Put Notice shall terminate. 
 

 51

 (h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Holdco Group
Member shall be required to make any additional contribution or pay any assessment or other amount to the Company to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Article VIII. 
  
 8.5  
Call Right. 
  
 (a)  At any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Company shall have the right (the “Call Option”) exercisable by giving written notice to the Unilever Stockholder (the “Call Notice”) to purchase from the Unilever Stockholder, at a price equal to the Put Price, at
least 50% of the Unilever Shares then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members (the “Call Shares”) and at least 50% of the aggregate Accreted Value of all the Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members (the
“Call Notes” and, together with the Call Shares, the “Call Securities”); provided, however, that no Call Notice shall be effective unless it is given during the Notice Period; provided, further, that the
relative percentages of such Unilever Shares represented by such Call Shares and of such aggregate Accreted Value represented by such Call Notes (measuring the Call Notes on the basis of their Accreted Value), respectively, shall be as near to equal
as possible. The Call Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, and from time to time more than once. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company exercises its Call Option with respect to less than 100% of the Unilever Shares and Notes, in
each case then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members, (x) the Unilever Stockholder may designate, by written notice to the Company given within five Business Days of receipt by the Unilever Stockholder of the Call Notice, whether the Call
Securities (A) comprise the Call Shares and Call Notes specified in the Call Notice, or (B) comprise solely Call Shares with an aggregate Share Price, subject to clause (z) below, equal to the aggregate Put Price of the Call Shares and Call Notes
specified in the Call Notice, (y) the Unilever Stockholder may elect, by written notice to the Company given on or prior to the applicable Call Closing Date, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining Unilever Shares as of such Call Closing
Date, and (z) the Unilever Stockholder shall not be required to sell Call Shares pursuant to this Section 8.5 to the extent that, as a result of such sale, the Unilever Stockholder’s Ownership Interest would be reduced below 10% without its
consent; provided, however, that if the Call Securities, as designated by the Unilever Stockholder, include Call Shares and Call Notes, the Company shall not be required to purchase such Shares and Notes in relative amounts other than as
described in last proviso to the first sentence of this Section 8.5. 
  
 (b)  The Company may, in its sole
discretion, elect to terminate a Call Notice and any obligation it may have to purchase Call Securities pursuant to this Agreement by written notice to the Unilever Stockholder and shall not be liable for failing to purchase Call Securities on or
prior to the Call Closing Date, and, if the Company does not terminate a Call Notice but fails, for any reason, to consummate the Call Option on or prior to the Call Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 8.6, then such Call Notice will
be deemed to have been terminated on such date; provided, however, that the Unilever Stockholder may elect, by written notice to the Company given no later than ten Business Days after the date on which the Applicable EBITDA shall have been
determined pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining Unilever Shares, at an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares based upon a deemed Base Value of eight times the Applicable EBITDA, as of

Initial Unilever Proposals shall be in writing, shall be submitted to the Company within the periods referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8.9 and shall specify the facts and circumstances supporting the reasonableness and propriety of
the Initial Valuation Proposal and the Initial EBITDA Proposal under the Valuation Principles and Exhibit 4, respectively. 
  
 (b)  Unless the Unilever Stockholder provides the Initial Unilever Proposals and the Unilever Valuation Report to the Company within the periods referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 8.9, the Base Value for the
applicable Measurement Period shall be deemed to be equal to eight times the Applicable EBITDA, the Unilever Stockholder shall have irrevocably waived its rights pursuant to Section 8.11 (including its right to propose any other Base Value for such
Measurement Period or to obtain any determination thereunder), and such Base Value shall be final and binding upon the Unilever Stockholder, each other Unilever Group Member and the Company for all purposes of this Agreement.

submission of the Initial Unilever Proposals or the expiration of the periods described in Section 8.9(a), as the case may be, to agree upon the Base Value and/or the Applicable EBITDA, as the case may be. Any dispute as to the Base Value that is
not resolved by the Company and the Unilever Stockholder during such 30-Business Day period shall be submitted to their respective external financial advisors (the “Financial Advisors”) in accordance with Section 8.11(a), and any
dispute as to the Applicable EBITDA that is not resolved by the Company and the Unilever Stockholder during such 30-Business Day period shall be submitted to the Accounting Expert in accordance with Section 8.10(a). 
  
 8.10

 Expert shall determine (in its opinion and having requested such further information from the Company and the
Unilever Stockholder as it shall require) the Applicable EBITDA prepared in accordance with Exhibit 4 and/or the amount of such Cash Flows prepared in accordance with Exhibit 9, as applicable. The Accounting Expert shall certify to the
Company and the Unilever Stockholder (i) that it has considered the respective submissions of the Company and the Unilever Stockholder and has determined the Applicable EBITDA in accordance with Exhibit 4 and/or the amount of such Cash Flows
in accordance with Exhibit 9, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of such Applicable EBITDA (the “Certified Applicable EBITDA”) and/or such Cash Flows (the “Certified Cash Flows”). The Certified Applicable
EBITDA shall be deemed to be the Applicable EBITDA for the purposes of this Article VIII, and the Certified Cash Flows shall be deemed to be the Cash Flows for the applicable Fiscal Year for the purposes of Exhibit 9. The Accounting Expert
shall act as expert and not as arbitrator, and its determination shall be final and binding upon the Company, the Holdco Stockholder and the Unilever Stockholder in the absence of manifest error. 
  

8.11
  Expert Determination of Base Value. 
  
 (a)   Subject to Section 8.9(b), if
the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall not have agreed on the Base Value within the periods described in Section 8.9(c), then the Financial Advisors shall use their best efforts for an additional 30 Business Days to agree upon the Base
Value. Any Base Value mutually agreed upon by the Financial Advisors within such additional 30-Business Day period shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Unilever Stockholder and shall be deemed to be the Base Value for the applicable
Measurement Period for the purposes of this Article VIII. Any dispute as to the Base Value that is not resolved by the Financial Advisors during such additional 30-Business Day period shall be submitted to the Financial Expert in accordance with
subsection (b) of this Section 8.11. 
  
 (b)  If the Financial Advisors shall not have agreed on the Base Value
within the additional 30-Business Day period described in subsection (a) of this Section 8.11, determination of the Base Value shall be referred to an independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Financial Advisors (the
“Financial Expert” and, together with the Accounting Expert, the “Experts”). The Financial Expert shall be requested to make its determination, if practicable, within a period of 30-Business Days after its
appointment. 
  
 (c)  Each of the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall submit to the Financial Expert a

 (d) The Financial Expert shall certify to the Company and the Unilever Stockholder (i) that it has considered the respective submissions of the
Company and the Unilever Stockholder and has determined the Base Value as of the last day of the applicable Measurement Period according to the principles of this Section 8.11, and (ii) the amount of such Base Value (the “Certified Base
Value”). The greater of (x) the Certified Base Value, and (y) 
 

 56

 eight times the Certified Applicable EBITDA shall be deemed to be the Base Value for the applicable Measurement
Period for the purposes of this Article VIII. The Financial Expert shall act as expert and not as arbitrator, and its determination shall be final and binding upon the Company, the Holdco Stockholder and the Unilever Stockholder in the absence of
manifest error. 
  
 (e)  The costs of the Experts’ determinations shall be included in the Repurchase Expenses.

provide the Unilever Stockholder (and its professional advisers, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings) with such historic and prospective information existing on the date on which the Put Option or Call Option is exercised, or the

 (b)  The information supplied by the Company to the Experts shall be prepared in good faith but otherwise without liability on the part of the Company and any Holdco Group Member or any other party involved in the supply of
information. 
  
 8.13    
Failure by the Company to Acquire Shares. 
  
 (a)  If the closing of the sale and
purchase of the Put Shares or the Call Shares, as the case may be, is not consummated on the date described in Section 8.3(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iv) or (b) or Section 8.6(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iv) or (b), as the case may be, by reason that necessary
consents and approvals of Governmental Authorities for such sale and purchase have not been obtained (despite all reasonable best efforts to procure such approvals having been used by the Company and the Unilever Stockholder), then: 

 
 (i)  the closing of the sale and purchase of such Put Shares or Call Shares under Section 8.3 or 8.6,
respectively, shall be conditional upon obtaining such consents and approvals; and 
  
 (ii)  (A)
prior to the Eighth Year, the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts to obtain the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary for the purchase of the Subject Securities as referred
to in Section 8.3(a)(iii) and 8.6(a)(iii), including taking such measures as shall be reasonably required, having regard to the interests of the Business, to obtain such consents and approvals, and (B) from and after the Eighth Year, the Company
shall use its best efforts to structure the 
 

 57 

Table of Contents

  
 purchase by it of the Put Shares or Call Shares so as to facilitate, or avoid the necessity
of, obtaining such consents and approvals, and the Unilever Stockholder will cooperate with and assist the Company in such efforts. 
  
 (b)  If, by the Eighth Year, the Company shall have failed to purchase the Put Securities or the Call Securities for cash pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(ii): 
  
 (i)  if the Share Price has not previously been fixed pursuant to Section 8.4(d), 8.5(a) or 8.5(b), the aggregate Share Price as determined in accordance
with Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 for the Remaining Unilever Shares (such determination to be made on the next applicable exercise of the Put Option or Call Option) shall be fixed as of the Eighth Year; and 
  
 (ii)  the Unilever Stockholder’s sole and exclusive remedies (other than remedies for breach of the provisions of
this Agreement) shall be, subject in each case to Sections 8.13(c) and 10.17, and without derogation of the Unilever Stockholder’s rights under the Exit Note and, subject to Section 10.16(b), the Note, to elect to: 
  
 (A)  negotiate a sale of any or all of the Unilever Shares and the Notes then beneficially owned by any Unilever Group
Member to a third party (a “Unilever Sale”); provided, that (1) the Holdco Stockholder shall have the right to approve any purchaser of such Shares which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (2) any
sale of such Shares shall be made free of the restrictions under Article VII; provided, further, that in connection with any proposed Unilever Sale the Holdco Stockholder shall review, at the Unilever Stockholder’s reasonable request, a
list of proposed purchasers and designate which such purchasers it approves and shall otherwise cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with such Unilever Sale, including by preparing preliminary and final offering memoranda, assisting
the Unilever Stockholder in the preparation of a confidential information package for delivery to approved potential purchasers, participating in investors’ meetings, conferences and telephone calls, providing information and projections
prepared by the Company or its advisors, and allowing reasonable access to such purchasers to conduct due diligence, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings; 
  
 (B)  cause the Company to arrange for the private placement and sale of Shares (including any or all of the Unilever Shares) or other securities of the
Company (a “Private Placement”); provided, that (1) the Company shall consult with the Unilever Stockholder as to the most appropriate method of sale, having regard to the mutual interests of the Company and the Holdco
Stockholders in effecting an efficient and orderly sale, but shall otherwise be free to conduct the sale as it sees fit, (2) the Holdco Stockholder shall have the right to approve any purchaser of such Shares or securities, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (3) any sale of such Shares shall be made free of the restrictions under Article VII; and/or 
  
 (C)  cause the Company to arrange for the sale of part or all of (1) the Company’s Japanese business, divisions, assets or Subsidiaries (including through the public sale of securities), and/or
(2) Polymer or its assets or Subsidiaries (a “Subsidiary Sale” and, together with a Unilever Sale and a Private Placement, the “Eighth Year Actions”); 
 

 58 

Table of Contents

  
 in each case as shall be necessary to yield Net Proceeds sufficient to pay the Share Price.
Subject to subsection (b)(iv) of this Section 8.13, upon the Unilever Stockholder making any such election(s) (which shall be communicated to the Company by written notice), the Company shall use its best efforts to consummate such Eighth Year
Actions no later than the maturity date of the Exit Note and shall, and shall be entitled to, take all reasonable steps on its part as are necessary to carry out such Eighth Year Actions, including structuring such Eighth Year Actions to avoid any
violation of the DGCL. It is expressly agreed and understood that any and all other remedies (other than remedies described in this Section 8.13 and remedies for breach of the provisions of this Agreement), whether arising by this Agreement, any
other agreement or operation of law, and whether at law or in equity (other than the Unilever Stockholder’s remedy of enforcing the Exit Note and, subject to subsection (b)(iv) of this Section 8.13 and Section 10.16(b), the Note), are hereby
expressly waived by Unilever and each other Unilever Stockholder. 
  
 (iii)  Subject to
subsection (c) of this Section 8.13, Net Proceeds of Eighth Year Actions received before the Eighth Year Put Closing Date shall be applied to the Put Price, and such Net Proceeds received after the Eighth Year Put Closing Date shall be applied to
pay or prepay amounts owing under the Exit Note. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Proceeds of any sales of Unilever Shares pursuant to Unilever Sales and/or Private Placements shall belong to the Unilever Stockholder. 
  
 (iv)  Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the undertaking and agreements of the
Company in this Section 8.13 (other than undertakings and agreements relating to sales of Unilever Shares) are subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreements, including restrictions on the sale of assets, sale of equity, repurchase of Shares
and the requirement to apply the proceeds of certain sales of capital stock and assets to the reduction of Indebtedness, and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of
collateral thereunder, and to the exercise thereof by such lenders, noteholders and holders with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and that no right or remedy provided in this Section 8.13 or any provision of this Section 8.13 (other than
undertakings and agreements relating to sales of Unilever Shares) shall not be exercised or enforced unless and until such exercise or enforcement shall not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of any of the Financing Agreements.

  
 8.14  
Priority of Put and Call Rights.    Following the delivery of a Call Notice by the Company, the Unilever Stockholder’s right to exercise the Put Option with respect to the Unilever Shares and
Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members shall be suspended from the end of the Notice Period during which such Call Notice was delivered until after the earlier of the date on which such Call Notice is terminated pursuant to
Section 8.5(b) or the date immediately following the delivery by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or (c) of financial statements for a period that includes the applicable Call Closing Date, as the case may be. Following the delivery of a Put
Notice by the Unilever Stockholder, the Company’s right to exercise the Call Option with respect to the Put Securities subject to the Put Option shall be suspended until after the earlier of the date on which such Put Notice is terminated
pursuant to Section 8.4(c) or the date immediately following the delivery by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or (c) of financial statements for a period that includes the applicable Put Closing Date, as the case may be.

in good faith from time to time to discuss possible exit strategies with respect to the sale or repurchase of the Unilever Shares and the Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members; provided, however, that no such meetings or
discussions shall be binding in any respect. 
  
 8.16  
Agency Adjustment.    If (a) upon the expiration of the Agency Agreement, the parties thereto enter into a new agreement with a term (the “Agency Term”) of at least two years (a
“New Agency Agreement”), the Agency Adjustment shall be subtracted from the Net Debt Amount applicable to the Share Price payable on the first Put Closing Date or Call Closing Date, as the case may be, following the date of the New
Agency Agreement. The Agency Adjustment shall not be taken into account more than once. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s liability or obligation to subtract the Agency Adjustment from the Net Debt Amount, if any, shall not be deemed to
be Indebtedness. 
  
 8.17  
Contingent Payments.    The Unilever Stockholder shall have the right to receive the Contingent Payments, if any, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth on Exhibit 9 in recognition of
its period of ownership of the Class B Shares.

arising under this Agreement prior to such termination to which Sections 10.11, 10.12 and 10.17 will continue to apply):

 9.2  
Prior Breach.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall relieve the Company or any Stockholder from liability for any prior breach of any
provision of this Agreement or impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by another party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Charter Documents or this Agreement, a written waiver
thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. 
  
 10.3  
Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreements and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the
Stockholders and their Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written. 
  
 10.4  
Effect of Waiver or Consent.    A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations under this Agreement is not
a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any other Person or to
declare any other Person in default in the performance of such other Person’s obligations under this Agreement, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that
default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run. 
  
 10.5  
Amendment, Modification or Waiver.    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived from time to time only by a written instrument signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and all of the Stockholders, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that the Board may amend and modify Schedule A to the extent necessary to
reflect the Transfer of Shares and Exhibit B to the extent necessary to reflect the adoption of a New Material Benefit Plan, in each case as permitted in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

10.6  
Binding Effect.    Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Stockholders and their respective permitted
successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives. Neither Stockholder nor any member of its Group may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part otherwise than pursuant to a Transfer of Shares in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, each party hereto may assign as collateral security all of its rights under this Agreement to any secured creditor of such assigning party, and each party
hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to such assignment. 
  
 10.7  
Specific Performance.    The parties agree that any breach by any of them of any provision of this Agreement would irreparably injure the Company and the other Stockholders, as the case may be, and
that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties agree that the other parties will be entitled to one or more injunctions enjoining any such breach and requiring specific performance of this Agreement and consent
to the entry thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such other parties are entitled at law or in equity. 
  
 10.8  
Governing Law; Severability.    All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by,

 and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law, rules or provisions
(whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law. 
  
 10.9  
Notice to Stockholders of Provisions.    By executing this Agreement or an Assumption Agreement, each Stockholder acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the provisions hereof

 10.11  
Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.    Each party agrees that it will not initiate any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than (i) the Delaware Chancery Court or (ii) if the Delaware Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such action, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware or a Delaware
state court. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware over any such suit, action or proceeding and agrees that it will not attempt to deny or
defeat personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Each party hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to such party at its address set forth on
Schedule A or in Section 10.2, as the case may be, shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Unilever Stockholder also appoints and agrees to maintain The Corporation Trust Company,
1209 Orange Street, Corporation Trust Center, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 as its agent in the State of Delaware for service of process in connection with any dispute or proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Each party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that a
final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction such party is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment,
including, with respect to Unilever, the Dutch and English courts, and, with respect to Holdco, state or federal courts in the State of Wisconsin. 
  
 10.12  
Waiver of Jury Trial.    EACH OF THE STOCKHOLDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE

SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE STOCKHOLDERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO
A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE STOCKHOLDERS FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS
REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS OR HIS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS OR HIS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING

Parties in Interest.    Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the Stockholders and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, nor shall anything in this Agreement relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any other Person to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any other Person any right of subrogation or action over
or against any party to this Agreement. 
  
 10.14  
Fees and Expenses.    Each party hereto shall pay all of its own fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, investment bankers or other representatives and consultants)

or constitute any party the agent of any other party, including the Company, for any purpose. 
  
 10.16  
Supremacy.

 64 

Table of Contents

  
 (ii) if necessary, and subject to Applicable Law, ensure that any required
amendment is made to the Charter Documents of the Company to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (b)  If any of the provisions of the Note or the Note Indenture conflict or are otherwise inconsistent with any of the provisions of Article VIII of this Agreement or are in derogation of any party’s rights under
Article VIII of this Agreement (such provisions of the Note or the Note Indenture, as the case may be, the “Conflicting Provisions”), the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail as between the Stockholders and their Affiliates
with respect to Notes held by such Stockholders and such Affiliates, and each of the Stockholders hereby waives on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates that own any Notes from time to time, and, to the extent necessary, shall cause
such Affiliates to waive, any rights they may have, or any breaches or other events of default under, any such Conflicting Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal to the Stockholders and
the Company, and this Agreement, including this subsection (b), shall not apply to any third party purchaser of the Note or any portion thereof.

Exit Note.    So long as the Exit Note is outstanding and held by a Unilever Group Member of which Unilever has Unilever Required Control, (a) the Company shall not effect a Veto Matter without the
prior written consent of the holder of the Exit Note, and such holder shall have all the rights given to Stockholders (including all rights granted in favor of the Unilever Stockholder under this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that the Unilever
Stockholder no longer holds any Shares), and shall be subject to all obligations to which Stockholders are subject, in each case pursuant to Article VI, and (b) the Company shall not issue any Shares, shall not change its capital structure
(including the rights and preferences of the Shares) as in existence on the Eighth Year Put Closing Date, shall maintain all Class B Shares purchased by it in exchange for the Exit Note pursuant to Article VIII in its treasury and shall comply with
such provisions of Article IV as shall be necessary to give effect to the rights of the Unilever Stockholder to continued Board representation in accordance with the Exit Note. If and to the extent that such Class B Shares are reissued to the
Unilever Stockholder, its rights and obligations shall be as set forth in the New Certificate, the New Bylaws and this Agreement (other than with respect to any Eighth Year Actions) as in effect on the date the Exit Note was issued, and the Put
Price shall be deemed due and payable in full at the time of such reissuance; provided, that the Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the payment by the Company of such Put Price shall not be made until and unless
permitted by the provisions of the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder; provided, further, that if the Company does not
pay such amount at such time but for the provision of the immediately preceding proviso, interest shall accrue on such amount at the Applicable Rate from such time until the date of payment.

 Exhibit 4 
  
 DEFINITION OF EBITDA 
  
 “EBITDA” means, with reference to any
Measurement Period, (a) Consolidated Net Income plus, without duplication, to the extent deducted from revenues in determining such Consolidated Net Income, (b) (i) Consolidated Interest Expense, (ii) expense for taxes paid or accrued, or for which
a provision is made, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, (v) extraordinary losses, and (vi) capital losses, including losses arising from revaluations, minus, without duplication, to the extent included in Consolidated Net Income, (c) (I)
extraordinary gains, and (II) capital gains, including gains arising from revaluations, all calculated for the Company Group in United States dollars on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. For the purposes of making the calculations
described in this Exhibit 4, GAAP, including, without limitation, the application of GAAP with respect to accruals, provisions and reserves, pension expenses, the allocation of assets and liabilities used to determine the Net Periodic Pension Cost
under Shared Pension Plans, accounting for stock option plans, recognition of income, capitalization of expenses, write-offs of inventory and bad debt reserves, shall be applied on a basis consistent with the Audited CMI Financial Statements for the
fiscal year ending June 29, 2001, giving effect only to such changes to the Company’s accounting policies, principles and practices from and after such date as may be required by changes in GAAP or Applicable Law, and/or by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. With regard to actuarial assumptions used for determining pension expense, the above requirement of consistency means that the actuarial assumptions should have the same degree of conservatism relative to typical actuarial
assumptions under GAAP as those used for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2001. For the avoidance of doubt, each component of EBITDA shall be adjusted to eliminate any amounts attributable to or arising out of the Agency Agreement. 

 
 EBITDA shall also be adjusted, without duplication, (a) to give effect to acquisitions and divestitures occurring during such Measurement
Period on a pro forma basis as if such acquisitions and divestitures occurred on the first day of such Measurement Period, and (b) to eliminate the material positive and negative effect on EBITDA during such Measurement Period of (i) any Special
Items, (ii) any Post Measurement Period Special Programs, (iii) the difference between any Non-Arm’s Length Terms and arm’s length terms, (iv) any Pension Plan Amendment Differential Costs, (v) any Contingent Payments paid during such
Measurement Period, and (vi) any Company Indemnification Amounts. 
  
 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means,
with reference to any Measurement Period, the interest expense, net of interest income, of the Company Group set forth in the Company’s financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and (c) for such Measurement Period and calculated
on a consolidated basis for such period in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to eliminate any interest expense, net of interest income, attributable to or arising out of the Agency Agreement. 
  
 “Consolidated Net Income” means, with reference to any Measurement Period, the net income (or loss) of the Company Group set forth in the Company’s financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and (c) for such Measurement Period and calculated on a consolidated basis for such period in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to eliminate any net income attributable to or arising out of the Agency
Agreement. 

Table of Contents

  
 “Special Items” means (a) items that under GAAP would qualify as special,
extraordinary or non-recurring one-time items and/or (b) any other special, extraordinary or non-recurring one-time items arising other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and of the type taken into account in the calculation of EBITDA (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to the DiverseyLever Business and/or the CMI Business (in each case as defined the Purchase Agreement) as set forth on Schedule F to the Purchase Agreement. 
  
 “Post Measurement Period Special Programs” means expenditure programs of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than
expenditure programs approved by the Unilever Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section II.A.2.b of Article Fourth of the New Certificate or by a Unilever Director pursuant to Section 4.11) (a) which are not in the Ordinary Course of Business,
(b) to the extent (but only to such extent) such Programs are initiated for the principal purpose of producing a material benefit to the Company Group for periods subsequent to such Measurement Period, (c) to the extent (but only to the extent) such
Programs result in increases in expenses during such Measurement Period materially in excess of expenses for similar programs or expenditures during periods prior to such Measurement Period, (d) to the extent (but only to such extent) such Programs
result in a negative impact on EBITDA for such Measurement Period and (e) if such Programs are disclosed in writing to a Unilever Director, are objected to by a Unilever Director following any such disclosure, either in writing or by a vote against
such Program in connection with any vote taken by the Board on any such Program. 
  
 “Non-Arm’s Length Terms”
means the effect of terms that (a) are materially less favorable to the Company or a Company-Controlled Affiliate than those that could have been obtained in a transaction by the Company or such Company-Controlled Affiliate with a person that is
an independent third party, and (b) are included in, or arise out of, non-arms length (as described in clause (a) above) Affiliate Transactions, other than Affiliate Transactions which (i) have been disclosed in writing to Unilever prior to the date
of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) have been approved by the Unilever Stockholder or a Unilever Director. 
  
 “Company
Indemnification Amount” means any expense, accrual or provision made during the applicable Measurement Period (a) to the extent that such expense, accrual or provision decreases Applicable EBITDA for such Measurement Period, and (b) to the
extent that, subject to the provisions of Article XI of the Purchase Agreement (including provisions relating to minimum and maximum indemnity amounts and time limitations on indemnification), such expense, accrual or provision would entitle a
Unilever Indemnified Party to indemnification under Section 6.9(a)(ii) (relating to the Original CMI Business), 11.1(b)(i), 11.1(b)(ii), 11.1(b)(v), 11.1(b)(vi), or 11.1(o) through (v) of the Purchase Agreement.

 This Agreed Dividend Policy is subject to compliance with the DGCL and the terms of the Financing Agreements. 
  
 CMI and its Subsidiaries will be authorized to upstream to the Company the amount of cash required to pay the declared quarterly dividends.

Dividend Policy shall be allocated for the sole purpose of satisfying obligations to employees under the Management Plan Documents.

 EXHIBIT 9 
  
 CONTINGENT PAYMENTS 
  
 1.  Calculation and Timing of Contingent
Payments.    Subject to Section 2 hereof, on the applicable Payment Date, the Company shall pay to the Unilever Stockholder an amount in cash (each, a “Contingent Payment”) determined as follows:

  
 a.  on the Payment Date in 2007, the Contingent Payment (the “2007 Contingent
Payment”) shall equal the lesser of (i) $100,000,000, or (ii) (A) 0.25, times (B) the 2006 Cumulative Differential; 
  
 b.  on the Payment Date in 2008, the Contingent Payment (the “2008 Contingent Payment”) shall equal the lesser of (i) (A) $100,000,000, minus (B) any 2007 Contingent Payment, or (ii) (A) 0.25,
times (B) the 2007 Cumulative Differential; 
  
 c.  on the Payment Date in 2009, the Contingent
Payment (the “2009 Contingent Payment”) shall equal the lesser of (i) (A) $100,000,000, minus (B) (1) any 2007 Contingent Payment, and (2) any 2008 Contingent Payment, or (ii) (A) 0.25, times (B) the 2008 Cumulative Differential;
and 
  
 d.  on the Payment Date in 2010, the Contingent Payment shall equal the lesser of (i) (A)
$100,000,000, minus (B) (1) any 2007 Contingent Payment, (2) any 2008 Contingent Payment, and (3) any 2009 Contingent Payment, or (ii) (A) 0.25, times (B) the 2009 Cumulative Differential. 
  

For the avoidance of doubt, the targets for Cash Flows giving rise to any Contingent Payments were determined expressly in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Exhibit 9. Any deviations
from or incongruencies with Valuation Principles or customary corporation finance principles are intentional, as they ensure consistency with the scenarios upon which such targets were based. 
  

2.  Limitations on Contingent Payments.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 
  
 a.  The Company shall not pay, and the Unilever Stockholder shall have no right to receive, any Contingent Payment in
respect of Cash Flows (or any portion thereof) for any Fiscal Year after the Fiscal Year in which the End Date occurs (such Contingent Payment, if any, the “Final Contingent Payment”), and after such Final Contingent Payment shall
have been paid, the Unilever Stockholder shall have no further rights under this Exhibit 9. 
  
 b.  The Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the payment by the Company of the Contingent Payment Amount in this Exhibit 9 shall not be made until and unless permitted by the provisions of
the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder; provided, further, that 

Table of Contents

  
 such payment shall not be made until and unless the dividends declared in accordance with
Section 4.10(a)(iv) of the Agreement, including the Agreed Dividend Policy, shall have been paid; provided, further, that if the Company does not pay the Contingent Payment Amount at any time it would otherwise be obligated to pay such
amount but for the provisions of this subsection (b), interest shall accrue on such amount at the Applicable Rate from such time until the date of payment. 
  
 3.  Determination of Cash Flows.    The Cash Flows for each Fiscal Year included in a period described in Section 1 hereof shall be determined by the Company and shall be set
forth in an Annual Statement of Cash Flows (an “Annual Statement”). Each Annual Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Company to the effect that such Annual Statement was prepared in accordance with this Exhibit
9. A copy of each such Annual Statement and certificate shall be delivered to the Unilever Stockholder not later than 90 days after the end of the Fiscal Year to which such Annual Statement relates. If the Unilever Stockholder disagrees with the
calculation of Cash Flows contained in an Annual Statement, the Unilever Stockholder may, within 15 Business Days after receipt of such Annual Statement, deliver a notice to the Company disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the
Unilever Stockholder’s calculation of such amount (a “Cash Flows Dispute Notice”). Any such Cash Flows Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Unilever Stockholder disagrees (“Cash Flows
Disputed Items”), and the Unilever Stockholder shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Annual Statement other than the Cash Flows Disputed Items. In connection with the Unilever Stockholder’s review
of an Annual Statement, the Company, at the Unilever Stockholder’s expense, will provide the Unilever Stockholder with reasonable access at reasonable times to all books and records in the control of the Company relevant to such review. If a
Cash Flows Dispute Notice shall be delivered in accordance with this Section 3, the parties shall, during the 15 Business Days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the Cash Flows Disputed Items in order to
determine the amount of Cash Flows for the applicable Fiscal Year; provided, that such amount determined by the parties shall not be less than the amount shown on the Annual Statement nor more than the amount shown in the Cash Flows Dispute Notice.
If the parties are not able to reach agreement as to the amount of Cash Flows for the applicable Fiscal Year during such additional 15-Business Day period, the determination of such amount shall be referred to the Accounting Expert in accordance
with Sections 8.10 and 8.11(e) of the Agreement. 
  
 4.  Definitions.    Except as
otherwise provided herein, terms used in this Exhibit 9 with initial capital letters that are not defined in this Exhibit 9 shall have the meanings given to them in the Stockholders’ Agreement. As used in this Exhibit 9, the following terms

 CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 SECTION
1.    Indemnification. 
  
 (a)  Indemnification of the Unilever Stockholder by the
Company.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(b) of this Exhibit 10, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Unilever Stockholder and its Affiliates, officers, directors and employees (the Unilever
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Costs (including, without limitation, any Costs relating to purchases and sales of any securities of the Company or any Company Group Member) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Indemnified Document or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, if, and only to the extent, that such Costs arise from the Unilever Indemnified Party being determined to be a person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Unilever Indemnification”); provided, however, that the Unilever Indemnification shall not apply to any Costs to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or

 (b)  Indemnification of the Company Group by the Unilever Stockholder.    The Unilever Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all Costs (including,
without limitation, any Costs relating to purchases and sales of any securities of the Company or any Company Group Member) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Indemnified Document, or
the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if and only to the extent that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Indemnified Document in reliance upon and in conformity with the Unilever Information (the “Company Indemnification”). 

 
 (c)  Procedures.    The provisions of Section 11.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to
claims for indemnification made pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (d)  Other Agreements with Respect to
Indemnification.    The provisions of this Exhibit 10 shall not affect any other agreement between any Company Group Member and any Unilever Group Member with respect to indemnification. 
  
 SECTION 2.  Contribution.    If the indemnification provided for in Section 1 hereof is for any
reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Costs referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Costs incurred by such indemnified party, as
incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company Group on the one hand and the Unilever Group on the other from the issuance or sale of securities or (ii) if

 the allocation provided in clause (i) above is not permitted by Applicable Law, not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Company Group on the one hand and of the Unilever Group on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Costs, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided
that, the Unilever Group Members shall not be liable to the Company Group in any case to the extent any Unilever Group Member has furnished in writing to the Company Group, prior to the delivery or circulation of the final prospectus or offering
memorandum, as the case may be, or any supplement or amendments thereto, information expressly for use therein which corrected or made not untrue or misleading information previously furnished to the Company Group and the Company failed to include
such information therein. 
  
 The relative fault of the Company Group on the one hand and the Unilever Group on the other hand
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by a Company Group Member or by
a Unilever Group Member and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. 
  
 SECTION 3.  Certain Procedures.    In connection
with any filing of a Registration Statement or any other Indemnified Documents described in clause (c) of the definition of “Indemnified Documents” (collectively, “Section 3 Documents”) in respect of which the Unilever
Group would have a liability or obligation in respect of the Company Indemnification, (a) the Company shall provide the Unilever Group and its outside counsel, at the Unilever’s Stockholder’s sole cost and expense, with (i) the right to
participate in such due diligence reviews of the management, auditors, financials, information, books and records of the Company Group as is customarily afforded to counsel to underwriters and as may be reasonably necessary for the Unilever Group to
satisfy the standards of investigation applicable to control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) the right to attend working group and due diligence meetings with underwriters at which the
Section 3 Document and any other Indemnified Document incorporated by reference therein is prepared or substantively reviewed, discussed and revised, and (iii) copies of drafts and amendments or supplements of the Section 3 Document a reasonable
time prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, or in the case of Section 3 Documents that are not to be so filed, dissemination to investors, and (b) the Unilever Stockholder shall, at its sole cost and expense, be provided a reasonable opportunity
to review, comment and propose reasonable revisions to the Section 3 Document, but the Company shall retain the sole right to determine the final form and content of such Documents. The Unilever Directors shall be provided with copies of any
Indemnified Document that is not a Section 3 Document prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. 
  
 SECTION
4.  Financing Agreements.    The Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the payment by the Company of the Unilever Indemnification shall not be made until and unless permitted by
the provisions of the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder.

 SECTION 5.  Unilever
Information.    The Unilever Stockholder shall furnish the Company with such information relating to the Unilever Group and the Unilever Directors as the Company may reasonably request, but only to the extent as shall be
required by Applicable Law to be included in any Indemnified Documents. 
  
 SECTION 6.  No
Prejudice.    The inclusion of this indemnity shall not be deemed to be an admission of any control person liability under Applicable Law.
