(a)                                  Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and except as specifically addressed in Sections 5.18 and 5.19, each of Purchaser and Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the Contemplated Transactions (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the closing conditions set forth in Article VI).  In furtherance of the foregoing, Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall coordinate and cooperate with one another and shall each use its reasonable best efforts to provide any notices, and to obtain (and shall each refrain from taking any willful action that would impede or delay obtaining) all consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders needed to consummate the Contemplated Transactions; provided that Clorox Parent shall make all payments reasonably necessary to obtain consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders of third parties needed to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, and Purchaser shall reimburse Clorox Parent for 50% of such payments at Closing.

(b)                                 Clorox Parent and Purchaser each shall use its reasonable best efforts to file (i) the appropriate notification and report form, and all other documents to be filed in connection therewith, required by the HSR Act and the notification rules promulgated thereunder with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, but in any event within five Business Days following the Effective Date and (ii) the appropriate notification and report forms, and all other documents to be filed in connection therewith, required by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, but in any event within ten Business Days following the Effective Date.  Purchaser shall be responsible for paying the applicable HSR Act filing fee and any other filing fees imposed in connection with any other antitrust notification. Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be issued by a Governmental Antitrust Authority.  Neither Clorox Parent nor Purchaser shall take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required approvals.

(c)                                  Without limiting the generality of Purchaser’s undertakings pursuant to Section 5.3(b), Purchaser shall:

(i)                             take promptly any or all of the following actions to the extent necessary to eliminate any questions, concerns, issues or objections raised by any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable antitrust Laws (“Governmental Antitrust Authority”) regarding the legality under any antitrust Law of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Transferred Companies and the Business, entering into negotiations, providing information, making proposals, entering into and performing agreements or submitting to judicial or administrative orders, or selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate (through the

33

establishment of a trust or otherwise), particular assets or categories of assets, or businesses, of Purchaser;

(ii)                          use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry in a judicial or administrative proceeding brought under any antitrust Law by a Governmental Antitrust Authority or any other party of any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order that would make consummation of Contemplated Transactions, including the Acquisition, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements unlawful or that would prevent or delay such consummation, including taking the steps contemplated by Section 5.3(c)(i);

(iii)                       take promptly, in the event that such an injunction or order has been issued in such a proceeding, any and all steps, including the appeal thereof, the posting of a bond or the steps contemplated by Section 5.3(c)(i), necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation of the Contemplated Transactions on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv)                      take promptly all other actions and do all other things necessary and proper to avoid, resolve or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Antitrust Authority or any other party to the consummation of Contemplated Transactions, including the Acquisition, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(d)                                 Except where prohibited by applicable Law, and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, coordinate with one another in preparing and exchanging such information, and shall promptly provide the other (or its counsel) with copies of all filings, presentations or submissions made by such Party or its Affiliates with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.  Each of Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall timely make, or cause to be made, all necessary filings with Governmental Authorities.

Section 5.4                                      Notification.  Clorox Parent shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Clorox Parent, of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event after the date hereof, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be materially untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.2(a) and 6.3(a), as the case may be, shall not be met, and (b) any failure of Clorox Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, to materially comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it after the date hereof such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.2(b) and 6.3(b), as the case may be, shall not be met; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not be treated as a breach of covenant for the purposes of Section 7.2(b) or 7.3(b), unless the failure to give such notice results in actual and material prejudice to the other Party.

Section 5.5                                      No Negotiation.  From the Effective Date until the earlier of termination of this Agreement and the Closing, Clorox Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, discontinue any negotiations with any Person (other than Purchaser) relating to any sale of the Transferred Assets or the Transferred Companies, including the sale of any

34

Equity Interests, whether by stock sale, merger, consolidation or similar transaction, or the sale of any material portion of the assets of the Transferred Companies (other than sales in the ordinary course of business).  Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated or the Closing occurs, Clorox Parent will not, and will instruct its Subsidiaries and Representatives to not, solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, or negotiate with, any Person (other than Purchaser) relating to any such transaction involving the sale of the Transferred Assets or any of the Transferred Companies.  Clorox Parent shall send written notice to each Person to whom Clorox Parent has provided information relating to the Business in connection with the proposed Acquisition requiring that such Person return or confirm the destruction of all provided information promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof.

Section 5.6                                      Names; Intellectual Property Transfer.

(a)                                  As promptly as reasonably practicable, but no more than thirty (30) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Transferred Companies to, make all filings with applicable Governmental Authorities to change the name of each Transferred Company and any of its applicable Subsidiaries to remove the name “Clorox”.  Purchaser shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but no more than ninety (90) days after the Closing, further cause the Transferred Companies and their Subsidiaries to remove and cease using any trademarks, trade names, brandmarks, brand names, trade dress or logos incorporating the name “Clorox” (the “Clorox Names”) from all Internet sites, products or packaging, signage, labels, stationery or office forms of the Transferred Companies received in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except in the case of Inventory included in the Final Inventory.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Clorox Parent hereby grants Purchaser Transferee and the Transferred Companies a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Clorox Names during such ninety (90) day period (or for the Inventory included in the Final Inventory, until such time as such Inventory is exhausted) in substantially the same manner as such Marks were used prior to the Closing Date as necessary to transition away from the use of the Clorox Names.  Thereafter, Purchaser shall neither use nor permit or suffer any of its Affiliates to use any of the Clorox Names or any trademark, trade name, brandmark, brand name, trade dress or logo incorporating any of the Clorox Names in connection with the Transferred Companies, the Business or otherwise.

(b)                                 Prior to the Closing, Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause each of its relevant Affiliates to, assign, transfer and convey, for no additional consideration and pursuant to written assignment documents in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the Business Names and Business Registered Intellectual Property, and all other Business Intellectual Property (the “Transferred Intellectual Property”) to Clorox U.S. or such other entities as Clorox Parent and Purchaser may agree.

(c)                                  At the request of Purchaser, Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall promptly take such further actions as shall be reasonably necessary or requested by Purchaser to record with any appropriate Governmental Authority the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property to Clorox U.S. or such other

35

entities as Clorox Parent and Purchaser may agree, provided, however, that Purchaser shall be reasonable in its selection of Transferred Intellectual Property to be recorded. Clorox Parent shall be responsible for costs associated with recording, in the records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and other applicable state, local or other U.S. or foreign Governmental Authorities, any assignment of Business Names and Business Registered Intellectual Property, without any gaps in the chain of title, to Clorox U.S.  Purchaser shall be responsible for costs associated with such recordations for any assignment of Business Names and Business Registered Intellectual Property to any other entity (in excess of what Clorox Parent would reasonably expect to incur if the assignment were to Clorox U.S., or, in full to the extent Purchaser requests assignment of Business Names and Business Registered Intellectual Property from Clorox U.S. to any other entity).  Purchaser shall be responsible for any costs associated with assignment of and recordations of any assignments of Business Names and Business Registered Intellectual Property thereafter.

Section 5.7                                      Tax Matters.

(a)                                  Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the liability for Taxes of a Transferred Company for the Pre-Closing Portion of a Straddle Period, the determination shall be made by assuming that such Straddle Period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date, and by assuming that the Tax period of any pass-through entity owned by the Transferred Company ended at the close of business on the Closing Date.  In the case of property Taxes and similar Taxes which are levied on a per diem basis, the amount of Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion of such Straddle Period shall equal the Taxes for the Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

(b)                                 Clorox Parent shall (i) prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed when due (including extensions), any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return that is required to include the operations, ownership, assets or activities of any of the Transferred Companies for periods ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) timely pay all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns.

(c)                                  Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed when due (including extensions), any Tax Return that is required to be filed after the Closing Date which includes the operations, ownership, assets or activities of the Transferred Companies for a period ending after the Closing Date, including any Straddle Period.  Any Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Tax Return in question (unless such practices are no longer permissible under applicable Tax Law), and to the extent any items are not covered by past practices (or in the event such past practices are no longer permissible under applicable Tax Law), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Purchaser with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Clorox Parent.  No liability in respect of Tax shown on any Tax Return for a Straddle Period prepared by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.7(c) shall be considered a liability for Taxes subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 5.7(e) unless Purchaser shall have provided Clorox Parent with a copy of such Tax Return at least forty-five

36

(45) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within forty-five (45) days of Closing, as soon as possible following Closing), accompanied by a statement (a “Straddle Period Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Return which are allocable to the Pre-Closing Period of such Straddle Period.

(d)                                 If Clorox Parent disagrees with the manner of preparation of a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, or with the amount of Taxes calculated as allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion of such Straddle Period (as shown on the Straddle Period Statement), within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the Tax Return for the Straddle Period and the Straddle Period Statement Clorox Parent may provide to Purchaser a notice of such dispute (a “Tax Statement Dispute”).  If Clorox Parent does not provide a notice of Tax Statement Dispute within such fifteen-day period, Clorox Parent shall be deemed to have accepted the Tax Return and the Straddle Period Statement for purposes of Section 5.7(e).  If Clorox Parent provides Purchaser with a notice of Tax Statement Dispute, Clorox Parent shall also provide to Purchaser a proposed revision of such Tax Return, a statement setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion of the Straddle Period, and a written explanation of the reasons for its adjustment.  Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within five Business Days following Clorox Parent’s notification of a Tax Statement Dispute.  If Clorox Parent and Purchaser cannot reach complete agreement within such five Business Days, each of Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall select a Tax expert from its respective outside accounting firm or law firm knowledgeable in the area of the dispute, and such experts shall attempt to resolve the differences.  Each Party shall be responsible for the costs and fees of its Tax expert.  If Clorox Parent and Purchaser are unable to resolve their differences through their Tax experts, the dispute shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm.  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Clorox Parent and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

(e)                                  Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in this Section 5.7, Clorox Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser an amount equal to the Taxes of the Transferred Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Period or the Pre-Closing Portion of any Straddle Period, except to the extent such Taxes are (i) payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9 or (ii) have been paid by the Transferred Companies prior to the Closing Date.  All such payments shall be made no later than ten Business Days after Purchaser has provided notice of such Taxes to Clorox Parent.

(f)                                    Neither Purchaser nor any of the Transferred Companies shall file any amended Tax Return with respect to the Transferred Companies for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Clorox Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as required under applicable Law.

(g)                                 Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to any Asset Transferring Company (to the extent related to the Transferred Assets or the Business) or a Transferred Company, in each case relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, and (ii) give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if such other Party so

37

requests, shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to allow such other Party to take possession of such books and records (except as would be prohibited by applicable Law).  During the period such books and records with respect to Tax matters are retained by the Parties, each Party shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries and their Representatives to provide, as applicable, reasonable direct access to such books and records to the other Party during normal working hours, including the right to make copies, at such other Party’s expense, in connection with any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or any claim for indemnification with respect to Taxes.

(h)                                 Purchaser and Clorox Parent further agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed; provided that obtaining such certificate or other document may not reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser, any of the Transferred Companies or Clorox Parent.

(i)                                     Within thirty (30) Business Days of Clorox Parent’s request, Purchaser shall cause its employees (including any previous employees of Clorox Parent or its Affiliates with knowledge of the matter at hand) to prepare and provide to Clorox Parent such Tax information as is reasonably requested by Clorox Parent with respect to any operations, ownership, assets or activities of each of the Transferred Companies for periods prior to the Closing Date, including pro forma Tax Returns, to the extent such information is relevant to the preparation of any Tax Return that Clorox Parent is required to prepare and file.  Clorox Parent shall reimburse Purchaser and the Transferred Companies for additional reasonable out-of-pocket costs of preparing any such Tax information.  Purchaser shall not have any Liability for any inaccuracy in any such information.

(j)                                     Purchaser and Clorox Parent further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code or Section 6043A of the Code, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.8                                      Refunds and Credits.  Any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments of Taxes of any of the Transferred Companies for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Refunds”) shall be for the account of Clorox Parent, and Purchaser shall promptly pay to Clorox Parent any Pre-Closing Refunds received by Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing Date.  Any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments of any of the Transferred Companies for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Refunds”) shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Clorox Parent shall promptly pay to Purchaser any Post-Closing Refunds received by Clorox Parent after the Closing Date.  Any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments of Taxes of any of the Transferred Companies for a Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Clorox Parent, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand and promptly paid to such Party, as applicable.  Purchaser shall, if Clorox Parent so requests and at Clorox Parent’s expense, file for and obtain any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments, or cause the Transferred Companies to file for and obtain any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments, to which Clorox Parent shall be entitled under this Section 5.8, and Purchaser shall permit Clorox Parent to control the

38

prosecution of any such refund claim.  Clorox Parent shall, if Purchaser so requests and at Purchaser’s expense, file for and obtain any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments, or cause its Subsidiaries to file for and obtain any refunds, rebates, deposits, credits or overpayments, to which Purchaser shall be entitled under this Section 5.8, and Clorox Parent shall permit Purchaser to control the prosecution of any such refund claim.

Section 5.9                                      Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to Clorox Parent the full amount of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes (including real estate transfer Taxes), and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall be borne (and any applicable refund thereof, including any applicable refund of VAT, shall be shared) fifty percent (50%) by Clorox Parent and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall pay its share of such amounts to Clorox Parent, and Clorox Parent shall remit such amount to the applicable taxing authority.  If and to the extent VAT applies, the Purchaser shall pay the VAT on the production of a valid VAT invoice by the Transferring Companies.

Section 5.10                                Employee Matters.

(a)                                  United States. Clorox Parent shall cause to be transferred to Clorox U.S., effective upon the Closing, the Business employees employed by Clorox Parent or one or more of its Affiliates set forth on Schedule 5.10(a)-1.  The Business employees employed by Clorox U.S. or Clorox U.S. Sub as of the date of this Agreement are listed on Schedule 5.10(a)-2 (the Business employees listed on Schedules 5.10(a)-1 and 5.10(a)-2, as updated pursuant to the following sentence, are referred to herein as “U.S. Transferring Employees”). Schedule 5.10(a)-1 and Schedule 5.10(a)-2 shall be updated from time to time by Clorox Parent, but in any event no later than three days prior to Closing, to reflect employee hires, terminations or other changes in employment status in Clorox U.S. that occur in the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any U.S. Transferring Employee who, as of the Closing Date, is receiving, or entitled to receive as a result of an injury or illness incurred prior to the Closing Date, short-term disability benefits and who subsequently becomes eligible to receive long-term disability benefits shall be provided long-term disability benefits under a Clorox Parent long-term disability plan until such employee is no longer disabled as a result of the original disability incurred prior to the Closing Date.  Clorox Parent shall retain all Liabilities relating to any current or former employee of any Business Operating Entity who is receiving long-term disability benefits on the Closing Date or who becomes entitled to receive long-term disability benefits as a result of an injury or illness incurred prior to the Closing Date, on or following the Closing Date pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)                                 United Kingdom.  Not less than fifteen days before the Closing Date, Clorox Parent shall cause to be transferred from Clorox U.K., effective upon the Closing Date or such earlier date as determined by Clorox Parent in its sole discretion, the employees employed by Clorox U.K. set forth on Schedule 5.10(b)-1 (the “U.K. Transferred Out Employees”).  The Business employees employed by Clorox U.K. as of the date of this Agreement are listed on Schedule 5.10(b)-1 and Schedule 5.10(b)-2 (the Business employees listed on Schedules 5.10(b)-

39

2, as updated pursuant to the following sentence, are referred to herein as “U.K. Transferring Employees”). Schedule 5.10(b)-1 and Schedule 5.10(b)-2 shall be updated from time to time by Clorox Parent, but in any event no later than three days prior to Closing, to reflect employee hires, terminations or other changes in employment status in Clorox U.K. that occur in the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. In the event that any UK Transferred Out Employees claim to be employed by Clorox U.K. following Closing, Clorox U.K. may terminate the employment of such individual and Clorox Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Purchaser against any Liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Clorox U.K. in relation to such employment or its termination.

(c)                                  Other Jurisdictions.  Not less than fifteen days before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall send an offer letter (“Offer Letter”) to (x) each of the Business employees located in Canada employed by Clorox Parent or one or more of its Affiliates set forth on Schedule 5.10(c)-1 (the “Canadian Transferring Employees”) and (y) the Business employees located in Australia set forth on Schedule 5.10(c)-2 (the “Australian Transferring Employees”) offering employment to such employees commencing on the day after the Closing Date with Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries on terms and conditions described in Section 5.10(d).  Purchaser shall consult with Clorox Parent regarding the form and substance of the Offer Letter prior to sending the Offers Letters to employees, provide Clorox Parent with copies of all Offer Letters sent to Business employees and provide copies of all Offer Letters countersigned by Business employees.  Schedule 5.10(c)-1 and Schedule 5.10(c)-2 shall be updated from time to time by Clorox Parent, but in any event no later than fifteen days prior to Closing, to reflect employee hires, terminations or other changes in employment status of Business Employees located in Canada and Australia, respectively.

(d)                                 For at least twelve months following the Closing Date, the terms and conditions of the Transferring Employees’ employment with the Purchaser with respect to (i) base salary, wages, commission, target bonus opportunities (other than any equity-based opportunities or compensation) and (ii) health, welfare and retirement benefits (other than supplemental executive retirement/SERP benefits) shall be substantially similar in value in the aggregate to, with respect to clause (i), those provided by Clorox Parent and/or the applicable Business Operating Entity as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (to the extent disclosed to Purchaser), and, with respect to clause (ii), those provided by Clorox Parent and/or the applicable Business Operating Entity as of immediately prior to the Effective Date; provided that neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall be required to adopt or maintain any particular type of benefit plan, program, policy or arrangements (such as defined benefit pension, retiree medical, or nonqualified deferred compensation plans) to comply with the foregoing.  Benefit plans established, adopted or maintained by Purchaser or the Transferred Companies after the Closing Date to comply with the foregoing sentence shall herein be referred to as “Purchaser Plans”).   Transferring Employees shall be given credit for all service with Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries (including service with a predecessor employer to the extent such service was credited by Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries) prior to the Closing under each Purchaser Plan for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of benefits accrual) to the same extent credited by Clorox Parent for a similar purpose under an analogous Business Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date.  With respect to any Purchaser Plan that is or would be considered a “welfare

40

benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that provides health benefits, Purchaser shall cause there to be waived, (i) any pre-existing condition, and waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements for any Transferring Employee enrolled in similar Business Benefit Plans maintained by Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date to the extent waived, satisfied or inapplicable under such Business Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date, and (ii) any co-payments, deductibles and offsets (or similar payments) made during the plan year that includes the Closing Date for the purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any analogous Purchaser Plans in which they are or become eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date and in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(e)                                  As of the Closing Date, the U.S. Transferring Employees shall become members of the class of employees eligible to participate in the applicable Purchaser Plan that is intended to qualify as qualified cash or deferred arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”).  If a U.S. Transferring Employee has sufficient service (taking into account service credited pursuant to subsection (c) hereof) under the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, such U.S. Transferring Employee shall be allowed to enter active participation in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the Purchaser 401(k) Plan to accept eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code), in cash but including any associated loans (irrespective of whether a rollover distribution of such loans would be considered a cash or in-kind distribution), from each U.S. Transferring Employee who has received such a distribution from the applicable 401(k) Plan of Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries.  The distributions and rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and each Party shall make all filings and take any actions required of such Party under applicable Law in connection therewith.

(f)                                    With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time (including flexible time off and sick pay) as of the Closing to which any Transferring Employee is entitled pursuant to Clorox Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ vacation policy or under Law immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by Law, assume any Liability for such accrued but unused vacation time and allow such Transferring Employee to use such accrued vacation after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be liable for and pay in cash an amount equal to such accrued but unused vacation time to any Transferring Employee whose employment terminates for any reason subsequent to the Closing Date.

(g)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, starting on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, for a period ending on the date one year after the Closing Date, provide (or cause its Subsidiaries to provide) each Transferring Employee whose employment is terminated during this one-year period and who is otherwise entitled to severance pay under the plans or practices of Clorox Parent (provided such plans or practices have been disclosed to Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement) with severance pay  equal to the greatest of (i) the severance pay and benefits in the aggregate offered to similarly situated employees of Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries under the guidelines set forth on Schedule 5.10(g), (ii) the severance pay and benefits offered to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, or (iii) the severance pay required by Law. Purchaser shall assume from Clorox Parent all Liabilities to pay or provide severance in accordance with the guidelines set forth on Schedule 5.10(g) or required by Law to

41

(A) any Business employee who is not offered employment by Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.10(c) and (B) any Transferring Employee who is offered and rejects employment by Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.10(c) and who would otherwise be entitled to severance pay and/or benefits under the plans or practices of Clorox Parent or its Affiliates (provided such plans or practices have been disclosed to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement) had such Transferring Employee’s employment been terminated by Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries under the circumstances under which such Transferring Employee’s employment is terminated by the Purchaser.

(h)                                 With respect to Clorox U.S. and Clorox U.S. Sub, for purposes of WARN Act compliance, on or before the Closing Date Parent shall provide Purchaser with a list of employee layoffs, by date and location, implemented by Clorox U.S. and Clorox U.S. Sub in the 90-day period preceding the Closing.

(i)                                     With respect to all U.S. Transferring Employees (and their respective covered dependents), who are “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” (as defined in Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-4(a) of the Treasury Regulations), Clorox Parent shall provide any notice required by Section 4980B(f)(6) of the Code and shall make available to such individuals continuation coverage under a group health plan maintained by Clorox Parent, as provided by Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-7 of the Treasury Regulations.

(j)                                     Purchaser shall make all retention payments to the Transferring Employees, as set forth in Schedule 5.10(j).

(k)                                  The provisions of this Section 5.10 are entered into specifically and exclusively for the benefit of Clorox Parent, its Subsidiaries and Purchaser and to clarify Clorox Parent’s, its Subsidiaries’ and Purchaser’s related rights and responsibilities.  Nothing in this Section 5.10 confers or is intended to confer any rights or remedies (including any third-party beneficiary rights or remedies) upon any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any U.S. Transferred Company) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) create any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with Purchaser, any U.S. Transferred Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or (iv) shall prohibit or in any way limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any U.S. Transferred Company) to terminate the employment of any employee at any time and for any or no reason.

(a)                                  Purchaser and Clorox Parent shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their Representatives to use its reasonable best efforts for a period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to consummate the Acquisition and the Contemplated Transactions and to transfer, convey, grant and confirm to and vest in Purchaser or its Subsidiaries good title to the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets and for Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to assume the Transferred Liabilities and to minimize any disruption to the respective businesses of Clorox Parent and Purchaser that might result from the Contemplated Transactions.  Clorox Parent shall be responsible for any pre-Closing costs incurred by Clorox to plan for and prepare the Business for separation in connection with the Contemplated Transactions except as otherwise provided for herein, and Purchaser will be responsible for all other costs associated with the separation, relocation, start-up and other activities related to separating the Business from the retained Clorox business, including for example the costs of moving inventory and files, relocating Transferring Employees and reconfiguration of facilities, except as otherwise provided for herein.

(b)                                 After the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice, Purchaser and Clorox Parent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Transferred Companies, the Transferred Assets and Transferred Liabilities and the Business Operating Entities as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting (including the preparation of post-Closing audited financial statements that cover the period prior to the Closing Date) and accounting matters, the defense or prosecution of any litigation, arbitration or other dispute, or the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns or complying with such Party’s obligations under any audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand or the defense of any Tax audit, claim or assessment.  Each Party shall make its Representatives (including, on the part of Purchaser, any former Clorox Parent employees) available to the other Party to provide such reasonably requested information and assistance.  Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, shall reimburse the other party for reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses incurred in assisting Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.12.  Neither Party shall be required by this Section 5.12(b) to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations or result in any actual or potential breach of the Law or Contract, waive attorney-client privilege or similar doctrines or give rise to any other actual or potential compliance concern.

(c)                                  If, after the Closing, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries receive payment on any of the accounts receivable of the Business retained by Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries or if Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries receive payment on any of the accounts receivable of the Business transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser or Clorox Parent shall, or shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, as soon as reasonably practicable: (i) make payment of such funds to the bank account designated by Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, from time to time, and (ii) inform in writing the representative designated by Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, of the amount and payor of the receivable to be transferred.  No Party shall have a right of withholding or set-off with respect to such payments.

43

(d)                                 If, after the Closing, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries make payment on any of the accounts payable of the Business retained by Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries or if Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries make payment on any of the accounts payable of the Business transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser or Clorox Parent shall, or shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, as soon as reasonably practicable: (i) make payment of such funds to the bank account designated by Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, from time to time, to reimburse such other Party for such payment, and (ii) inform in writing the representative designated by Purchaser or Clorox Parent, as applicable, of the amount and payee of the payable to be transferred. No Party shall have a right of holding or set-off with respect to such payments.

(e)                                  If either Party shall, from time to time, identify any Transferred Asset or Transferred Liability that was not transferred to Purchaser, or any asset or Liability which was not listed as a Transferred Asset or Transferred Liability (including Retained Liabilities) but was transferred to Purchaser, each at the time of Closing, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to transfer those assets or Liabilities to the correct Party as promptly as reasonably possible after Closing.

(f)                                    As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing Date and subject to applicable Law, Clorox Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser all material agreements, documents, books, records and files, including records and files stored on computer discs or tapes or any other storage medium but excluding e-mail correspondence (collectively, “Records”) in the possession of Clorox Parent relating exclusively to the operations of the Business (including the Financial Statements and all related accounting records); provided, however, that:

(i)                             Purchaser recognizes that certain Records may relate primarily to Clorox Parent or to Subsidiaries, divisions or assets of Clorox Parent other than the Business and that Clorox Parent may retain such Records and shall provide copies of the relevant portions thereof to Purchaser;

(ii)                          Clorox Parent may retain (and not provide copies of) all Records prepared in connection with the sale of the Business, including bids received from other parties and analyses relating to the Business; and

(iii)                       Clorox Parent may retain any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Returns that include a Transferred Company and any Tax Returns of an Asset Transferring Company and Purchaser shall be provided with copies of such Tax Returns only to the extent that they relate to separate Tax Returns or Tax liability of any of the Transferred Companies or with respect to the Transferred Assets or the Business.

(g)                                 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed by Clorox Parent or Purchaser to constitute an agreement of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to assign or transfer any Transferred Assets to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof without the consent of or notice to a third party thereto would constitute a breach or default thereof, cause or permit the acceleration or termination

44

thereof unless such consent has been delivered and/or such notice has been properly made.  In the event that any Transferred Asset that would otherwise be or be deemed to have been assigned or transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 cannot be or could not have been deemed to have been assigned or transferred or a third party shall not provide or have provided its necessary consent to, or receive or have received its notice of, such assignment or transfer, at the Closing, and without any changes to the Purchase Price, Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assign and transfer to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, to the extent legally possible and without causing any of the consequences to assignment or transfer in the immediately preceding sentence to occur, all of their right and title to and interests in and to each such Transferred Asset and, where necessary or appropriate, Clorox Parent shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s duly appointed agent for the purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Purchaser’s rights and Liabilities arising after the Closing Date with respect to each such Transferred Asset.  In that event, Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable commercial efforts at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense:  (i) to provide Purchaser with the benefit in all material respects of each such Transferred Asset, including (A) enforcing any rights with respect to any such Transferred Asset (including the right to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of Purchaser), and (B) permitting Purchaser to enforce any rights as if such Transferred Asset had been assigned or transferred to Purchaser, and (ii) to the extent Clorox Parent shall have failed to obtain the consent of all parties or to deliver notice to all parties prior to the Closing with respect to such Transferred Asset necessary to permit the assignment or transfer to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries of each such Transferred Asset without causing any of the consequences to assignment in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(g) to occur, when all such consents shall have been obtained or notices have been delivered, to assign and transfer such Transferred Asset to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.  Clorox Parent shall be entitled to retain from or set-off against amounts due to, or otherwise charge and collect from, Purchaser all reasonable incremental costs associated with the retention, maintenance and enforcement of rights of any Transferred Asset and all Liabilities arising thereunder to the extent related to the ownership, use or operation thereof from and after the Closing Date contemplated by this Section 5.12(g) (“Maintenance Costs”), and Purchaser will indemnify Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries for any Losses resulting from or arising out of any such activities.

Section 5.13                                Confidentiality.

(a)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 9.6, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, up to the Closing, any information provided or exchanged in connection with this Agreement and/or the negotiation of the Contemplated Transactions shall be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)                                 [Reserved]

45

except to the extent in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or to the extent reasonably necessary to operate their respective businesses (which disclosures shall be subject to reasonably appropriate restrictions on further use and disclosure).  Shared Confidential Information shall not include information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Party or any of its Affiliates, (b) is or becomes available to a Party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party and its Affiliates, provided that such Party or its Affiliate (as applicable) is not aware that such source is bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of, confidentiality to the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or (c) is independently developed by a Party or any of its Affiliates without use of any Shared Confidential Information or violation of any obligation hereunder, as evidenced by such Party’s or its Affiliates’ (as applicable) contemporaneous written records.

(d)                                 From and for a period of two years after the Closing Date, Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) treat and hold as confidential any proprietary or confidential information relating to the Business (the “Business Confidential Information”) and (ii) refrain from using and disclosing the Business Confidential Information except to the extent in connection with its obligations under this Agreement.  Business Confidential Information shall not include information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Clorox Parent or any of its Affiliates, (b) is or becomes available to Clorox Parent or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, provided that Clorox Parent or its Affiliate (as applicable) is not aware that such source is bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of, confidentiality to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (c) is independently developed by Clorox Parent or any of its Affiliates without use of any Business Confidential Information or violation of any obligation hereunder, as evidenced by Clorox Parent’s or its Affiliates’ (as applicable) contemporaneous written records.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of any Transaction Agreement, or the confidential information referred to in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) above:  (i) to the extent permitted with the other Party’s prior written consent; (ii) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably determined by such Party to be required by applicable Law, regulation, legal process or stock exchange regulation (including any public filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), in which case the disclosing Party shall give the other Party to the extent practicable reasonable advance notice of any such required disclosure and the reasonable opportunity to consult with such Party in advance of the disclosure; (iii) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the enforcement of its rights or satisfaction of its obligations hereunder; or (iv) in confidence to legal counsel, accountants and their advisors.  Further, (x) either Party may disclose the terms and conditions of any Transaction Agreement, and/or the confidential information referred to in paragraph (c), in confidence to banks, financing sources and their advisors, and (y) Purchaser may disclose the confidential information referred to in paragraph (c) (1) in the ordinary course of business, (2) on a confidential basis to any purchaser of equity securities that are not registered for public sale, (3) in connection with a

46

public offering of securities, (4) in connection with a sale of all or a portion of the Business or (5) for financial reporting purposes.

Section 5.14                                Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a)                                  Non-Compete.  From the Closing Date until the second anniversary thereof, Clorox Parent shall not, and Clorox Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to not, either directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) engage in, (ii) own or control any interest in any Person (except as a passive investor of less than five percent (5%) of the capital stock or publicly traded notes or debentures of a publicly held company) that engages in, (iii) act as an officer, director, partner, member or joint venturer of any Person that engages in or (iv) lend credit or money for the purpose of establishing or operating any Person that engages in a Competing Activity anywhere in the world.  In addition, during such period, Clorox Parent shall not, and Clorox Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to not, knowingly influence or attempt to influence any Person who is a contracting party or has a material business relationship with the Business as of the Closing Date to terminate or adversely change any relationship or existing Contract that relates to the Business.  The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.14(a) shall not apply to the acquisition of any Person that at the time of the acquisition is engaged a Competing Activity if the consolidated revenue attributable to such Competing Activity in the previous fiscal year constituted less than twenty percent of the consolidated annual revenue of such acquired Person (an “Incidental Business”).  In the event that such annual revenue attributable to such Competing Activity constitutes more than an Incidental Business, the business activities of such Competing Activity will nevertheless be excluded from the prohibitions set forth in this Section 5.14(a); provided that Clorox Parent sells or otherwise disposes of such Competing Activity within twelve months after the acquisition of such Person.

(b)                                 Non-Solicitation.  From the Closing Date until the second anniversary thereof, Clorox Parent shall not, and Clorox Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to not, solicit, knowingly encourage or induce, or attempt to encourage, solicit or induce any Transferring Employee to leave his/her employment (or terminate his/her relationship or devote less than full time efforts) with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries employing such Transferring Employee, as the case may be, for any reason, or hire any Transferring Employee; provided that this Section 5.14(b) shall not be deemed to prohibit Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from making general public solicitations for employment for any position.

Section 5.15                                Consent to Use Marks.  Purchaser, on behalf of itself and any Affiliate or other Person who may in the future acquire the Marks that are part of Transferred Assets, consents to Clorox Parents’ (and any of its Affiliates’) use of such Marks for non-source identifying purposes, including, by way of example, to describe and illustrate the historical relationship between Clorox Parent and the Transferred Companies and such Marks.  Purchaser further agrees to require any Person who may in the future acquire one or more of such Marks to so consent and to bind any subsequent acquirers.

Section 5.16                                Litigation Support.  For a period of two years following the Closing Date, Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense or settlement of all lawsuits involving the Business for

47

which they have responsibility under this Agreement by providing the other Party and such Party’s legal counsel and other designated Persons reasonable access to their respective books and records and other information related to the Business as such other Party may reasonably request, to the extent the same are maintained or under control of the requested Party.  The requesting Party shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid to third parties in performing its obligations under this Section 5.16.

Section 5.17                                Negotiation of Ancillary Agreements. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Clorox Parent and Purchaser shall in good faith, and use their respective reasonable best efforts to, negotiate and finalize the Ancillary Agreements (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto), in each case, substantially consistent with the forms attached hereto.

Section 5.18                                Financing.

(a)                                  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.18(d) hereof), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) described in the Financing Letters and any related Fee Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to seek to enforce (including through litigation) its rights under the Financing Letters in the event of a material breach by the counterparties thereto, and, without the consent of Clorox Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or consent to any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Financing Letters or any related Fee Letter, if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) from that contemplated in the Financing Letters, or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing or other terms in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) delay or prevent the Closing Date, (y) make the timely funding of the Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur, or (z) adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Letters or Fee Letter.  For purposes of clarification, the foregoing shall not prohibit Purchaser from amending the Debt Commitment Letter and any related Fee Letter to (i) add or replace lender(s) (and Affiliates of such additional lender(s)) as a party thereto or (ii) make such other changes that would not, taken as a whole, adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  Any reference in this Agreement to (A) “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 5.18 and (B) “Financing Letters” or “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 5.18(a).  Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.18 shall include Purchaser’s reasonable best efforts to consummate a senior notes offering using the items listed in Section 5.19(a)(iv)(A)(I), Section 5.19(a)(iv)(A)(II), and Section 5.19(a)(iv)(B) (as it applies to (Section 5.19(a)(iv)(A)(I) and Section 5.19(a)(iv)(A)(II)).

48

(b)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.18(d) hereof), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Financing Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) negotiate and enter into all definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and any related Fee Letter, (iii) satisfy all conditions to such definitive agreements that are applicable to Purchaser that are within its control (including by consummating the Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter) and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, and (iv) comply with its obligations under the Financing Letters and any related Fee Letter.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall keep Clorox Parent reasonably informed on a timely basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Financing, including if for any reason Purchaser has concluded in good faith that it will not be able to obtain any part of the Financing on the terms contemplated in the Financing Letters, and shall give Clorox Parent prompt notice (x) of any breach or default by any party to any Financing Letters or definitive document related to the Financing of which Purchaser become aware and (y) of the receipt by Purchaser of any notice or other communication from any Financing source with respect to any (A) breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing.  As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two Business Days of the date Clorox Parent delivers Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by Clorox Parent relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c)                                  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.18(d) hereof), if any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions that are not (a) outside of, or less favorable than each of the individual terms set forth in the flex provisions applicable to the Debt Commitment Letter or (b) otherwise materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Purchaser than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and any related Fee Letter, and in an amount at least equal to the Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (the “Alternate Debt Financing”), and to obtain a new financing commitment letter with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letter”) which shall replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter, a true, complete and correct copy of which (together with any related fee letter) shall be promptly provided to Clorox Parent; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to execute any New Debt Commitment Letter or arrange for such Alternate Debt Financing on terms and conditions (unless otherwise determined by Purchaser) (x) outside of, or less favorable than, each of the individual terms set forth in the flex provisions applicable to the Debt Commitment Letter that such New Debt Commitment Letter is replacing and (y) with respect to any other terms, which are materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Purchaser than those included in the Debt Commitment Letter that such New Debt Commitment Letter is replacing.

49

In the event any New Debt Commitment Letter is obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to clause (ii) below, (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters that are not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and the New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect and (iii) any reference in this Agreement to “Fee Letter” shall be deemed to include any fee letter relating to the Debt Commitment Letters that are not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and the New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 5.18 shall require, and in no event shall reasonable best efforts of Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, Purchaser to (i) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Financing Letter, (ii) incur the Debt Financing on terms materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Purchaser than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and any related Fee Letter or outside of, or less favorable than, each individual term set forth in the flex provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and any related Fee Letter or (iii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Financing Letters (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise).

(e)                                  Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by Clorox Parent, and whether or not the Closing occurs, reimburse Clorox Parent for all of its documented reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries contemplated by Section 5.19; provided, that the amount reimbursed by Purchaser shall not exceed $1,250,000 without first obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further that any fees and expenses to accountants shall only be reimbursable to the extent such fees and expenses are payable to Ernst & Young.

(f)                                    If all conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been fulfilled  (excluding the conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) and the Closing is otherwise scheduled to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, or cause to be consummated, and shall use, or cause to be used, the proceeds of the senior bridge facility contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (or any Alternate Debt Financing) to the extent available pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent that the Financing through the issuance of senior notes contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (or any Alternate Debt Financing) is not available or not sufficient to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without regard to the interest rate and cost of the Debt Financing, and, for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether or not commercially reasonable, if all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been fulfilled (excluding the conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) and the Closing is otherwise scheduled

50

to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), then Purchaser shall consummate, or cause to be consummated, and shall use, or cause to be used, the proceeds of the senior bridge facility to the extent available pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that availability of all or any portion of the Financing at the Closing shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions so long as the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been fulfilled (excluding the conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) and the Closing is otherwise scheduled to occur pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 5.19                                Financing Cooperation.

(a)                                  Prior to the Closing Date, Clorox Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the officers, employees, representatives and advisors of Clorox Parent and each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to Purchaser such cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser to assist Purchaser in causing the conditions in the Debt Financing Letters to be satisfied and such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing and the Debt Payoff (for the avoidance of doubt, any references to Debt Financing or Financing in this Section 5.19 shall include the issuance of senior notes (which may be secured) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter), including cooperation that consists of:

(ix)                        with respect to the Transferred Companies only, entering into one or more credit or other agreements or indentures on terms satisfactory to Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent direct borrowings or debt incurrences by a Transferred Company are contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter;

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (v) nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would require Clorox Parent to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses for which it has not received prior reimbursement by or on behalf of Purchaser, or incur any Liability or give any indemnities other than as set forth in this Agreement, (w) nothing herein shall require such cooperation from Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries to the extent it would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries (including without limitation, the timely filing of disclosures pursuant to applicable securities laws and the announcement of earnings), or require Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate their respective organizational documents or any Laws or result in the contravention of or could reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of any Contract to which Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound, (x) neither Clorox Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Representatives shall incur any Liability relating to the Debt Financing (other than Liabilities of the Transferred Companies after the Closing Date), (y) no obligation of Clorox Parent or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing shall be effective until the Closing Date, and (z) any bank information memoranda and high-yield offering prospectuses or memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing (1) shall not be issued by Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) shall contain disclosure and pro forma financial statements reflecting the Purchaser and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligor, and (3) shall expressly disclaim any representation, warranty or Liability of Clorox Parent, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives (other than the Transferred Companies post-Closing) to the recipients thereof and the ultimate Lenders.

53

gross negligence or willful misconduct of Clorox Parent, its Affiliates or their respective officers, advisors and representatives or by breach of this Agreement by Clorox Parent, and to the full extent such indemnification is not available Clorox Parent’s contribution shall be limited to its relative fault arising from any gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by Clorox Parent, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, and Purchaser shall reimburse Clorox for any Losses incurred in excess of such amount.

(c)                                  Clorox Parent hereby consents to the use the trademarks, service marks and corporate logos of the Business in connection with the Financing; provided that such trademarks, service marks and corporate logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of Clorox Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.2                                      Indemnification.

(a)                                  Subject to Section 8.5, after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by Clorox Parent for any and all liabilities, damages, debts, obligations, claims, costs or expenses, interest, awards, judgments, orders, fines and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses related thereto) actually suffered or incurred by them (each, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”), to the extent such Losses result from:

(i)                             the breach of any representation or warranty made by Clorox Parent or any other Transferring Company, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements (other than any breach of a representation set forth in Section 3.19 (Tax Returns, Payments and Elections), to which Section 8.3 applies), when made or as of the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties made as of a specific date, as of such specified date) as if such representation or warranty were made again at the Closing Date (or at such other specified date), without regard to any qualification as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import included therein;

57

(ii)                          the breach of any covenant or agreement by Clorox Parent or any other Transferring Company, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements; or

(iii)                       any Retained Liabilities or Retained Assets (other than Pre-Closing Taxes, to which Section 8.3 applies).

(b)                                 Subject to Section 8.5, after the Closing, Clorox Parent or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser for any and all Losses (other than any Losses resulting from a breach by any Transferring Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements) to the extent such Losses result from:

(i)                             the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements;

(ii)                          the breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements;

(iii)                       any Transferred Liabilities or Transferred Assets; or

(iv)                      claims related to the operation of the Business after the Closing made against Clorox Parent and its Subsidiaries; and

(v)                         the operation of the Business after the Closing.

(c)                                  Any Party seeking indemnification under this Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder except to the extent such failure results in actual and material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the immediately foregoing provision shall not apply to the matters covered in Schedule 2.2(d)(v) or any notice delivered with respect to a representation or warranty that is delivered after the applicable survival period in Section 8.1(a).

(d)                                 The Liabilities of an Indemnifying Party under this Section 8.2, with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.2 (“Third Party Claims”), shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:  if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such

58

Third Party Claim within ten calendar days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 8.2, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty calendar days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, as is reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim involves Losses that are less than the Cap (as reduced for any prior claim for Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)).  If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.  Similarly, if the Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.  Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment without the written consent of the other Party unless the other Party is given an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.  No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding Section 8.2(d), Schedule 8.2(e) shall govern with respect to the matters described therein.

(f)                                    Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(b)(i) shall not apply with respect to any Losses arising out of (and no indemnification hereunder shall be available with respect to) any breach of representation and warranty that has terminated as provided in Section 8.1.

Section 8.3                                      Indemnification for Taxes; Defense of Tax Claims.

(a)                                  Clorox Parent and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and indemnify and hold harmless their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (i) any liability, obligation or commitment, whether or not accrued, assessed or currently due and payable, for any Pre-Closing Taxes and, and (ii) any breach of a representation set forth in Section 3.19 (Tax Returns, Payments and Elections).

59

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 8.2 to the contrary, in the event that any Governmental Authority informs Clorox Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, of any notice of a proposed audit or another dispute concerning an amount of Taxes with respect to which the other Party may incur Liability hereunder, the Party so informed shall promptly (and in any case within ten days) notify the other Party of such matter, by facsimile or e-mail, confirmed by regular, first-class mail.  Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax Liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice or other documents received from any Governmental Authority with respect to such matter.  If an Indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it may be indemnified hereunder and such party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the Indemnifying Party is entirely foreclosed from contesting the asserted Tax liability as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Taxes or Losses arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is not entirely foreclosed from contesting the asserted Tax liability, but such failure to provide prompt notice results in any Losses or any monetary detriment to the Indemnifying Party, then any amount which the Indemnifying Party is otherwise obligated to pay the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

(c)                                  Clorox Parent shall control any audits, disputes, administrative, judicial or other proceedings related to Taxes of the Transferred Companies (“Tax Claims”) which relate to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date.  Any Tax Claims (i) which relate to any Straddle Period or (ii) with respect to which Clorox Parent may reasonably be expected to indemnify Purchaser will be controlled by the Party that would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of any adjustment.  Purchaser shall control any other Tax Claims.  Subject to the preceding sentence, in the event that an adverse determination may result in each Party having a responsibility for any amount of Tax under this Article VIII or otherwise, each Party shall be entitled to fully participate in that portion of the proceeding relating to the Taxes for which it may incur liability hereunder.  Each Party shall, upon request, promptly provide to the other Party or its designated Affiliate powers of attorney or similar authorizations necessary to permit such other Party, its Affiliates and Representatives to carry out the purposes of this Section 8.3(c).  For purposes of this Section 8.3(c), the term “participate” shall include (i) participation in conferences, meetings or Proceedings with any Governmental Authority, the subject matter of which includes an item for which such Party may have liability hereunder, (ii) participation in appearances before any court or tribunal, the subject matter of which includes an item for which a Party may have liability hereunder, and (iii) with respect to matters described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), participation in the submission and determination of the content of the documentation, protests, memoranda of fact and law and briefs, and the conduct of oral arguments and presentations.

(d)                                 Neither Purchaser nor Clorox Parent shall agree to settle any Tax Liability or compromise any claim with respect to Taxes which settlement or compromise may materially affect the liability for Taxes of the other party, without such other Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

60

Section 8.4                                      Tax Treatment.  Any payments under this Article VIII shall be treated by the Parties hereto for Federal, state and local income Tax purposes (whether foreign or domestic) as a purchase price adjustment, except to the extent that a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law.

Section 8.5                                      Limits on Indemnification.

(a)                                  No amount shall be payable by Clorox Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), unless (i) the amount of Loss related to any individual item exceeds $100,000 (and such items shall not be aggregated for the purposes of clause (ii)); and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable by Clorox Parent under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds an amount equal to $7,650,000 (and then only to the extent of such excess) (the “Deductible”); provided, that the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to claims based on fraud or the Excluded Representations;

(b)                                 The maximum amount of aggregate indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Clorox Parent or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or (ii) (including the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements and the Equity Transfer Agreements) shall be an amount equal to $38,250,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims based on fraud or the Excluded Representations; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of Clorox Parent with respect to claims based on Section 8.2(a)(iii) or the Excluded Representations (together with any and all other claims arising under this Article VIII, but excluding any claims arising under Section 8.3), shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the amount of the Purchase Price actually received by Clorox Parent.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by an Indemnified Party in respect of Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims.  The Parties shall mitigate their damages and failure to so mitigate Losses shall reduce Losses otherwise recoverable from an Indemnifying Party to the extent attributable to such failure to mitigate.

(d)                                 The amount of an Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds (less any Taxes thereon) received by, and that would reduce the overall impact of the Losses upon, such Indemnified Party.

(e)                                  To the extent curable, Clorox Parent shall have the opportunity to cure, for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice of breach from an Indemnified Party referenced in Section 8.2(a), any claim for indemnification based upon a breach of the representation contained in Section 3.15(b) by Clorox Parent making available to Purchaser any additional assets, rights or properties that should have been conveyed pursuant to this Agreement but were not, or providing additional services to Purchaser as required to fulfill the representation set forth in Section 3.15(b).  If Clorox Parent fails to cure such breach of Section 3.15(b) in the cure period set forth in the preceding sentence or if such breach is not curable, any of the

61

Indemnified Parties referenced in Section 8.2(a) shall have a claim for Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i).

Section 8.6                                      Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy; Specific Performance.

(a)                                  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, (i) the indemnification provided in Section 8.2(a) shall be Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ exclusive remedy for any claims after the Closing arising under this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements, and (ii) the indemnification provided in Section 8.2(b) shall be Clorox Parent’s and its Affiliates exclusive remedy for any claims arising after the Closing under this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements or the Equity Transfer Agreements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Asset and Liability Transfer Agreements and the Equity Transfer Agreements are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached.  Accordingly, each of the Parties hereto agrees that, subject to Section 8.6(b) and Section 8.6(c) below, the other Party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof and any obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions) exclusively in courts of the State of New York, County of Manhattan, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at Law or in equity, and this right shall include the right of Clorox Parent to cause the Purchaser to fully enforce the terms of the Equity Financing Letter against the Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to the Equity Financing Letter and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement.  Each of the Parties hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.  If any Party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party or in accordance with Section 8.6(c), the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (x) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) such other time period established by the New York or federal court presiding over such action.

(b)                                 Clorox Parent hereby agrees that, prior to the Closing, Clorox Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to seek specific performance as its initial remedy with respect to breaches by Purchaser or any other Person or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as provided in Section 8.6(c) below, that prior to the Closing, Clorox Parent may not seek or accept any other form of relief that may be available for breach under this Agreement, the Equity Financing Letter or the Limited Guarantee or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages).

(c)                                  If (i) the New York or federal court presiding over such action declines to specifically enforce the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, including to consummate

62

the Contemplated Transactions, pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.6(b), or (ii) notwithstanding any grant of specific performance, Clorox Parent has, after using reasonable best efforts, been unable to secure the performance of Purchaser’s obligations, including the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, within fifteen calendar days after such grant of specific performance, whether due to the unavailability of any part of the Financing, the refusal of any Person to comply with a court order, or otherwise, Clorox Parent shall solely pursue a claim for monetary damages against the Guarantors under, and subject to the terms of, the Limited Guaranty.  If such a court has granted an award of damages for an alleged breach against Purchaser, Clorox Parent shall solely be entitled to enforce such award against the Guarantors under the Limited Guaranty and accept damages for such alleged breach, subject only to the Liability Cap and the other terms and conditions of the Limited Guaranty.
