The Party to whom the applicable Asset is to be transferred or conveyed or by whom the applicable Liability is to be accepted or assumed shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset, or managing or defending such Liability, promptly after receiving a request therefor. Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Separation Closing and (ii) the time such Assets and Liabilities would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Assets relate, in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

The Party to whom the applicable Asset is to be transferred or conveyed or by whom the applicable Liability is to be accepted or assumed shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset, or managing or defending such Liability, promptly after receiving a request therefor. Any transfer or conveyance made or acceptance or assumption rescinded pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if such Asset or Liability had never been originally transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed, as the case may be, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) To the extent that any transfer or conveyance of any Asset (other than Shared Contracts, which are governed solely by Section 2.04, and Deferred Kenvue Local Businesses, which are governed solely by Section 2.07) or acceptance or assumption of any Liability (other than Shared Contracts, which are governed solely by Section 2.04, and Deferred Kenvue Local Businesses, which are governed solely by Section 2.07) required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed shall not have been completed on or prior to the Separation Date, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption as promptly following the Separation Date as shall be reasonably practicable.

Liability (or the member of the Party’s Group retaining such Asset or Liability) shall thereafter hold such Asset for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto, who shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset or managing or defending such Liability promptly after receiving a request therefor) or retain such Liability for the account, and at the expense, of the Party by whom such Liability should have been assumed or accepted pursuant to this Agreement, as the case may be, and take such other actions as may be required by Law, including the terms and conditions of any applicable order, decree, ruling judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to such Asset or Liability, or otherwise reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset should have been transferred or conveyed, or by whom such Liability should have been assumed or accepted, as the case may be, in order to place both Parties, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Asset or Liability been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed (as applicable) as contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain and control over such Asset or Liability. As and when any such Asset or Liability becomes transferable or assumable, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable). Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Separation Closing and (ii) the time such Assets and Liabilities would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Assets and Liabilities relate, in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the transfer or conveyance of any Assets or the acceptance or assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and submit any necessary Governmental Approvals or other Consents for the transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable) of all Assets and Liabilities required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed including, to the extent applicable, the substitution of a member of the Kenvue Group for a member of the J&J Group in connection with any order, decree, ruling, judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to any Kenvue Liabilities or the substitution of a member of the J&J Group for a member of the Kenvue Group in connection with any order, decree, ruling, judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to any J&J Liabilities; provided, further, that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or submit any such Governmental Approval or Consent (other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and filing, recording or similar fees, all of which, if incurred following the Separation Closing, shall be borne by Kenvue (and Kenvue shall promptly reimburse members of the J&J Group upon request for any such expenses or fees incurred thereby)).

(g) Except as set forth in Section 2.01(f) or Section 2.07, the Party retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the transfer and conveyance of such Asset or the deferral of the acceptance and assumption of such Liability pursuant to this Section 2.01 or otherwise shall not be obligated by this Agreement, in connection with this Section 2.01, to expend any money or take any action that would require the expenditure of money unless and to the extent the Party entitled to such Asset or the Party intended to assume such Liability advances or agrees to reimburse it for the applicable expenditures.

SECTION 2.04. Shared Contracts. The Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the Kenvue Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Kenvue Business (the “Kenvue Portion”), which rights shall be a Kenvue Asset and which obligations shall be a Kenvue Liability, and (b) a member of the J&J Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract not relating to the Kenvue Business (the “J&J Portion”), which rights shall be a J&J Asset and which obligations shall be a J&J Liability. If the Parties, or their respective Group members, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract on or prior to the Separation Date as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, reasonably cooperate in any lawful arrangement to provide that, following the Separation Closing and until the earlier of five years after the Separation Date and such time as the formal division, partial assignment, modification or replication of such Shared Contract as contemplated by the previous sentence is effected, a member of the Kenvue Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Kenvue Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the J&J Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the J&J Portion under such Shared Contract; provided, that if, following such five-year period,

Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments shall not contain any representations or warranties or indemnities, shall not conflict with this Agreement and, to the extent that any provision of a Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument does conflict with any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control unless specifically stated otherwise in such Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument.

(b) In furtherance of Section 3.01(a), to the extent required to obtain a removal or release from a J&J Credit Support Instrument, Kenvue or an appropriate member of the Kenvue Group shall execute an agreement substantially in the form of the existing J&J Credit Support Instrument or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement, except to the extent that such existing J&J Credit Support Instrument contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions (i) with which Kenvue or the appropriate member of the Kenvue Group would be reasonably unable to comply or (ii) which would be reasonably expected to be breached by Kenvue or the appropriate member of the Kenvue Group.

(c) If Kenvue is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, all releases from J&J Credit Support Instruments pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) on or prior to the Separation Date, (i) without limiting Kenvue’s obligations under Article VI, Kenvue shall, and shall cause the relevant member of the Kenvue Group that has assumed the Liability with respect to such J&J Credit Support Instrument, to indemnify and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any Liability arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of Article VI and to, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the

obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder, (ii) with respect to each such J&J Credit Support Instrument, Kenvue, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Kenvue Group, agrees, except as otherwise expressly required by the terms of a contract with a third party in effect as of the Separation Date, not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under or transfer to a third Person any loan, guarantee, lease, sublease, license, contract or other obligation for which J&J or any other member of the J&J Group is or may be liable under such J&J Credit Support Instrument unless all obligations of J&J and the other members of the J&J Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to J&J, and (iii) with respect to each such J&J Credit Support Instrument, Kenvue shall prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, as promptly as reasonably practicable following reasonable written request by J&J, to the extent reasonably necessary for J&J to prepare financial statements or complete an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal control over financial reporting, any relevant information or data regarding the Liability with respect to such J&J Credit Support Instrument.

(a) J&J shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange, at its sole cost and expense and effective on or prior to the Separation Date, the replacement of all Credit Support Instruments provided by or through Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group for the benefit of J&J or any other member of the J&J Group (“Kenvue Credit Support Instruments”) with alternate arrangements that do not require any credit support from Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain from the beneficiaries of such Kenvue Credit Support Instruments written releases (which (i) in the case of a letter of credit or bank guarantee would be effective upon surrender of the original Kenvue Credit Support Instrument to the originating bank and such bank’s confirmation to Kenvue of cancelation thereof and (ii) shall expressly release any collateral in respect of such Credit Support Instrument) indicating that Kenvue or such other member of the Kenvue Group will, effective upon the Separation Closing, have no liability with respect to such Kenvue Credit Support Instruments, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Kenvue.

(b) In furtherance of Section 3.02(a), to the extent required to obtain a removal or release from a Kenvue Credit Support Instrument, J&J or an appropriate member of the J&J Group shall execute an agreement substantially in the form of the existing Kenvue Credit Support Instrument or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement, except to the extent that such existing Kenvue Credit Support Instrument contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions (i) with which J&J or the appropriate member of the J&J Group would be reasonably unable to comply or (ii) which would be reasonably expected to be breached by J&J or the appropriate member of the J&J Group.

(c) If J&J is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, all releases from Kenvue Credit Support Instruments pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and 3.02(b) on or prior to the Separation Date, (i) without limiting J&J’s obligations under Article VI, J&J shall, and shall cause the relevant member of the J&J Group that has assumed the Liability with respect to such Kenvue Credit Support Instrument to, indemnify and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any

Liability arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of Article VI and to, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder, (ii) with respect to each such Kenvue Credit Support Instrument, J&J, on behalf of itself and the other members of the J&J Group, agrees, except as otherwise expressly required by the terms of a contract with a third party in effect as of the Separation Date, not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under or transfer to a third Person, any loan, guarantee, lease, sublease, license, contract or other obligation for which Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group is or may be liable under such Kenvue Credit Support Instrument unless all obligations of Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Kenvue and (iii) with respect to each such Kenvue Credit Support Instrument, J&J shall prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, as promptly as reasonably practicable following reasonable written request by Kenvue, to the extent reasonably necessary for Kenvue to prepare financial statements or complete an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal control over financial reporting, any relevant information or data regarding the Liability with respect to such Kenvue Credit Support Instrument.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Separation shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages on the date on which the Initial Public Offering closes or in such other manner or on such other date as J&J and Kenvue may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which such closing takes place being the “Separation Date”). As partial consideration for the direct or indirect transfer of Kenvue Assets to Kenvue pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Kenvue agrees to pay to J&J, promptly following the consummation of the Separation and the Initial Public Offering, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by J&J to Kenvue in writing, all of the Cash of the Kenvue Group, including (x) all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (including, promptly following the receipt thereof, the net proceeds from the exercise of the Underwriters’ overallotment option if it is so exercised), after deducting only the Underwriters’ discount, and (y) all of the net proceeds of the Kenvue Financing Arrangements (together with any interest accrued thereon following the receipt of such proceeds by the Kenvue Group); provided that the Kenvue Group shall retain an amount in Cash as determined pursuant to Schedule X, after giving effect to the Initial Public Offering, the Kenvue Financing Arrangements and the settlement of Intercompany Accounts as contemplated by the Internal Transactions and Section 2.03(b).

In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth below, J&J may at any time and from time to time until the Separation Closing decide to abandon, modify or change any or all of the terms of the Separation, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Separation. For the purposes of this Section 4.04 only, the term “Separation” shall include any transfers contemplated by Section 2.07.

In addition, in the event that J&J determines to proceed with the Distribution or Other Disposition, J&J may, subject to applicable Law, at any time and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution or Other Disposition abandon, modify or change any or all of the terms of the Distribution or Other Disposition, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution or Other Disposition.

(b) Kenvue shall cooperate with J&J and any member of the J&J Group to accomplish the Distribution or Other Disposition and shall, at J&J’s reasonable request, promptly take any and all actions necessary or desirable to effect the Distribution or Other Disposition, including the registration under the Securities Act of the offering of the Kenvue Common Stock on an appropriate registration form as reasonably designated by J&J, the filing of any necessary documents pursuant to the Exchange Act and the filing of any necessary application or related documents with the Exchange in connection with listing the Kenvue Common Stock that is the subject of such Distribution or Other Disposition. Subject to applicable Law and contractual requirements among the Parties, J&J shall select any investment bank, manager, underwriter or dealer manager in connection with the Distribution or Other Disposition, as well as any financial printer, solicitation or exchange agent and financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors and service providers in connection with the Distribution or Other Disposition, as applicable. J&J and Kenvue, as the case may be, will provide to the exchange agent, if any, all share certificates and any information required in order to complete the Distribution or Other Disposition.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement shall control the terms and conditions of any Other Disposition to the extent contemplated therein.

SECTION 6.01. Release of Pre-Separation Claims. (a) Except as provided in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, effective as of the Separation Closing, Kenvue does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, their respective Affiliates, and to the extent it may legally do so, successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Kenvue Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, their respective successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the J&J Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Kenvue Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution or recovery and including any remedy under Environmental Laws), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Closing, including in connection with the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and any Distribution or Other Disposition and all other activities to implement any such transactions.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, effective as of the Separation Closing, J&J does hereby, for itself and each other member of the J&J Group, their respective Affiliates, and to the extent it may legally do so, successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the J&J Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, their respective successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Kenvue Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all J&J Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution or recovery and including any remedy under Environmental Laws), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Closing, including in connection with the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and any Distribution or Other Disposition and all other activities to implement any such transactions.

(c) The Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that unknown losses or claims exist or might come to exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or both. Accordingly, the Parties are deemed expressly to understand and acknowledge any federal, state or non-U.S. Law or right, rule or legal principle of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein which provides that: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN SUCH CREDITOR’S FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY SUCH CREDITOR MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED SUCH CREDITOR’S SETTLEMENT WITH A DEBTOR. The Parties are hereby deemed to agree that any such or similar federal, state or non-U.S. Laws or rights, rules or legal principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein, are hereby knowingly and voluntarily waived and relinquished with respect to the releases in Section 6.01(a) and (b).

(d) Nothing contained in Section 6.01(a) or (b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Intercompany Agreement or Intercompany Account that is specified in Section 2.03(c) not to terminate as of the Separation Closing, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 6.01(a) or (b) shall release:

(i) any Person from any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group that is specified in Section 2.03(c) as not to terminate as of the Separation, or any other Liability specified in such Section 2.03(c) as not to terminate as of the Separation;

(ii) any Person from any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(iii) any Person from any Liability provided in or resulting from any other agreement or understanding that is entered into after the Separation between one Party (or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and the other Party (or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand; or

(iv) any Person from any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for claims brought against the Parties, the members of their respective Groups or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article VI or, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the relevant Ancillary Agreement.

In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall release any Person from any D&O Indemnification Liabilities; provided, that J&J shall indemnify members of the Kenvue Group for any such D&O Indemnification Liabilities in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article VI.

(e) Kenvue shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Kenvue Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against J&J or any other member of the J&J Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.01(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.01(a). J&J shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the J&J Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification against Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.01(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.01(b).

(f) It is the intent of each of J&J and Kenvue, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 6.01, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Date, between or among Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group, on the one hand, and J&J or any other member of the J&J Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Separation Date), except as set forth in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement. At any time, at the request of the other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

SECTION 6.02. Indemnification by Kenvue. Subject to Section 6.04, Kenvue shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless J&J, each other member of the J&J Group and each of their respective former and current shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “J&J Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the J&J Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Kenvue Liabilities, including the failure of Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Kenvue Liability in accordance with its terms;

(b) any breach by Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling); and

(c) any breach by Kenvue of any of the representations and warranties made by Kenvue on behalf of itself and the members of the Kenvue Group in Section 11.01(c).

SECTION 6.03. Indemnification by J&J. Subject to Section 6.04, J&J shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kenvue, each other member of the Kenvue Group and each of their respective former and current shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Kenvue Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Kenvue Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the J&J Liabilities, including the failure of J&J or any other member of the J&J Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any J&J Liability in accordance with its terms;

(b) any breach by J&J or any other member of the J&J Group of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling); and

(c) any breach by J&J of any of the representations and warranties made by J&J on behalf of itself and the members of the J&J Group in Section 11.01(c).

SECTION 6.04. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Third-Party Proceeds. (a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement will be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee from a third party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) No provision in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is intended to relieve any Commercial Insurer of any responsibility to pay any claim, grant any insurer any subrogation rights with respect to any claim or provide any Commercial Insurer with a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage provision obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of such provision). Subject to Section 6.12, each member of the J&J Group and Kenvue Group shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds and any Third-Party Proceeds to which such Person is entitled in connection with any Liability for which such Person seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, that such Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making an indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt

to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) The calculation of any Indemnity Payments required by this Agreement shall be subject to Section 2.10 of the TXMA.

SECTION 6.05. Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 30 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 6.05 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice in accordance with this Section 6.05. Any Third-Party Claim shall be managed by J&J and Kenvue in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12, as if such Third-Party Claim were an Action.

SECTION 6.06. Additional Matters. (a) Any claim on account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 calendar days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnitee as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

SECTION 6.07. Right to Contribution. (a) If any right of indemnification contained in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by any Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee and any

other Indemnitees entitled to contribution in respect of such Liability, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 6.07: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with Kenvue Assets or the Kenvue Liabilities or with the ownership, operation or activities of the Kenvue Business prior to the Separation Closing shall be deemed to be the fault of Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of J&J or any other member of the J&J Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with J&J Assets or the J&J Liabilities or with the ownership, operation or activities of the J&J Business prior to the Separation Closing shall be deemed to be the fault of J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 6.08. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article X, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 6.09. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of J&J and Kenvue and their respective Indemnitees under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

SECTION 6.10. Limitation on Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of J&J, Kenvue or any other member of either Group shall in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.10(ii) shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third party not affiliated with any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

SECTION 6.11. Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of its Group or any Person claiming on behalf of it or its Group shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any Governmental Authority, alleging that: (a) the assumption or retention of any Kenvue Liabilities by Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the assumption or retention of any J&J Liabilities by J&J or any other member of the J&J Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this

Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article VI are void or unenforceable for any reason.

SECTION 6.12. Management of Actions. This Section 6.12 shall govern the management and direction of pending and future Actions in which members of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II.

(a) From and after the Separation Closing, the Kenvue Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of, and otherwise manage, any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule XI and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XII or Schedule XIII) that solely relate to (A) the Kenvue Business, Kenvue Liabilities or Kenvue Assets or (B) activities of the Kenvue Group following the Separation (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), “Kenvue Actions”). If a member of the J&J Group is named as a party or otherwise made subject to any Kenvue Action, (x) Kenvue and J&J shall use their reasonable best efforts to have Kenvue substituted for such member of the J&J Group (or to otherwise cause such member of the J&J Group to be removed as a party to such Kenvue Action) and (y) such member of the J&J Group shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Kenvue Action without the prior written consent of Kenvue (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) From and after the Separation Closing, the J&J Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of, and otherwise manage, any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule XII and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XI or Schedule XIII) that solely relate to (A) the J&J Business, J&J Liabilities or J&J Assets or (B) activities of the J&J Group following the Separation (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), “J&J Actions”). If a member of the Kenvue Group is named as a party or otherwise made subject to any J&J Action, (x) J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to have J&J substituted for such member of the Kenvue Group (or to otherwise cause such member of the Kenvue Group to be removed as a party to such Kenvue Action) and (y) such member of the Kenvue Group shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such J&J Action without the prior written consent of J&J (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) From and after the Separation Closing, the Parties shall separately but cooperatively manage (including as co-defendants or co-plaintiffs or Actions in which only one Party is named) any (i) Actions set forth in Schedule XIII and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XI or Schedule XII) that relate to both the J&J Business, J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities, on the one hand, and the Kenvue Business, Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities, on the other hand (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Mixed Actions”). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent legally permissible and necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both Parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to any Mixed Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared equally, or as otherwise reasonably agreed, by the Parties) or retain separate counsel (in which case each Party will bear

the cost of its separate counsel) with respect to any Mixed Action; provided that the Parties shall bear their own discovery costs and shall share equally any joint litigation costs. In any Mixed Action, each of J&J and Kenvue may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the J&J Business or the Kenvue Business, respectively; provided that each Party shall in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to avoid adverse effects on the other Party. If a member of each of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group are not both named as parties to any Mixed Action, at the request of either Party, J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to have the Party that is not so named added as a party to such Mixed Action.

(d) No Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 6.12(a) or Section 6.12(b) shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of or compromise any such Action without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such entry of judgment, settlement or compromise (i) contains any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person by such other Party, (ii) would result in any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of such other Party’s Group (other than customary non-disclosure obligations) or (iii) to the extent such other Party (or a member of such other Party’s Group) is named as a party to such Action, does not include a full and unconditional release of such other Party (or such member of such other Party’s Group).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any such pending or future Action requires, results in or relates to any Real Property Remedial Action, such Real Property Remedial Action shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13(c) through Section 6.13(f).

SECTION 6.13. Additional Environmental Terms and Procedures.

(a) Allocation of Specified Environmental Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Schedule XV sets forth a list of Specified Environmental Liabilities and, for each such Specified Environmental Liability (except as otherwise noted on Schedule XV), the proportionate share of the total Liability that is allocated to each Party.

(b) Allocation of Non-Specified Environmental Liabilities. In the event any Environmental Liability (other than any Specified Environmental Liabilities for which an allocation is specified on Schedule XV pursuant to Section 6.13(a)) is alleged by any Person (including either Party) to be attributable in part, on the one hand, to the J&J Business or any member of the J&J Group and in part, on the other hand, to the Kenvue Business or any member of the Kenvue Group (a “Non-Specified Environmental Liability”), the Parties shall attempt in good faith to determine and agree upon a final or interim allocation based on the Parties’ respective obligations in accordance with the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II; provided that, in determining any such allocation, the Parties shall consider, as relevant, the Parties’ respective degree of control over the production or other operations resulting in such Environmental Liability, the ability to distinguish the Parties’ respective contribution to such Environmental Liability, the Parties’ respective amount of contribution and the relative toxicity of any waste or other contaminants resulting in the Environmental Liability or requiring

Remedial Action, the degree of care exercised by each Party with respect to the activities resulting in the Environmental Liability, the degree of each Party’s cooperation with Governmental Authorities to prevent harm to the public health or environment in connection with such Environmental Liability and any other equitable factors upon which the Parties shall reasonably agree; provided, further that, in the case of any Environmental Liability associated with any real property that, prior to the Separation Date, was owned by one Party but operated by the other Party, and such operations were solely associated with the operating Party’s business, the Parties shall not consider mere passive ownership by the Party owning the relevant real property as a basis for allocating Liability to the Party owning the real property. If the Parties are unable to agree to such an allocation within 90 days of the delivery of an indemnification notice in accordance with Section 6.05, either Party may deliver a dispute resolution notice in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02.

(c) Managing Remedial Party Selection. With respect to any Real Property Remedial Action, the Managing Remedial Party (i) for any such Remedial Action associated with any Specified Environmental Liability shall be set forth on Schedule XV and (ii) for any such Remedial Action associated with any Non-Specified Environmental Liability shall be the Party that owns, or leases or subleases from a third party, the real property that is subject to such Real Property Remedial Action and, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.13(c), the Non-Managing Remedial Party shall be the other Party, except that no Party shall be deemed the Non-Managing Remedial Party with respect to, and the provisions of Section 6.13(d)(ii) through Section 6.13(d)(iv), Section 6.13(e) and Section 6.13(f) shall not apply to, any such Specified Environmental Liability or Non-Specified Environmental Liability as to which the Managing Remedial Party is allocated 100% of the cost of such Remedial Action under the terms of Section 6.13(a) and the other Party does not own, lease or operate the relevant real property at the time of the Remedial Action.

(d) Managing Remedial Party Authority and Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Real Property Remedial Action, (i) the Managing Remedial Party identified pursuant to Section 6.13(c) shall manage and control such Remedial Action, including having the right to direct and control discussions with Governmental Authorities and other relevant third parties and to retain qualified environmental consultants, (ii) the Managing Remedial Party shall diligently perform such Remedial Action in accordance with Environmental Law and provide the Non-Managing Remedial Party with a reasonable opportunity to consult, review and comment on draft versions of any work plans and any investigation, remedial and closure reports, in each case that are associated with such Remedial Action and submitted to any Governmental Authority prior to such submission (provided that, the Non-Managing Remedial Party shall provide any such comments within ten (10) Business Days or any shorter period reasonably requested by the Managing Remedial Party to meet any applicable deadline); (iii) the Non-Managing Remedial Party shall have the right (x) to reasonably approve environmental consultants prior to retention by the Managing Remedial Party and (y) at its own expense, to reasonably participate in activities relating to the Remedial Action, including attending meetings with relevant consultants and Governmental Authorities and reasonably observing such Remedial Action (provided that, in observing such Remedial Action, the Non-Managing Remedial Party and its representatives and agents shall comply with

any reasonable safety, confidentiality and other site access conditions for which it is informed, and shall maintain insurance in reasonable form and amount requested, in writing by the Managing Remedial Party), and (iv) the Parties shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in the performance of such Remedial Action.

(e) Additional Non-Managing Remedial Party Rights. Without limiting the rights of the Non-Managing Remedial Party under Section 6.13(d), in the event the Non-Managing Remedial Party is allocated, pursuant to Section 6.13(a), a percentage share of the cost of any Real Property Remedial Action greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%), with respect to such Real Property Remedial Action (i) the Managing Remedial Party shall (x) provide the Non-Managing Remedial Party with advance written notice of any meetings (whether in person, by telephone or virtual) no less than five (5) Business Days prior to such meeting to the extent reasonably practicable (y) if the Non-Managing Remedial Party attends such meeting, reasonably cooperate with the Non-Managing Remedial Party in directing and controlling such meeting on behalf of the Parties and (z) provide the Non-Managing Remedial Party with no less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or a shorter period to which the Parties reasonably agree to meet any applicable deadlines) to comment on a draft version of any work plan, investigation, remedial and closure report, in each case that are submitted to any Governmental Authority prior to submission, and reasonably incorporate any comments provided by such Non-Managing Remedial Party and (ii) the Non-Managing Remedial Party shall have the right to reasonably approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any work plan or closure report submitted or proposed to any Governmental Authority and any interim or final remedial measures to which the Managing Remedial Party agrees with any Governmental Authority to undertake.

(f) Insurance and Institutional Controls. With respect to any Real Property Remedial Actions associated with any Specified Environmental Liability or Non-Specified Environmental Liability, (i) the Managing Remedial Party shall require its environmental consultants to procure and maintain insurance consistent with industry practices and (ii) subject to the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Section 6.13(d) and Section 6.13(e), the Parties shall cooperate to record any engineering or institutional controls and adopt such other covenants that may be necessary for the completion of such Remedial Action in accordance with Environmental Laws and the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Additional Environmental Indemnity Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Environmental Liabilities that are subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement (including in cases where no claim for indemnification has been made but the costs associated with such Environmental Liability are being shared by the Parties pursuant to an allocation determined in accordance with Section 6.13(a)), no Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement for, and no Party shall be obligated to provide indemnification or reimbursement with respect to, such Environmental Liabilities to the extent (i) the resolution or settlement of such Liabilities, or the completion or performance of any Remedial Action associated with such Liabilities, exceed the minimum applicable requirements, or are otherwise not required, to comply with applicable Environmental Law (including, in the case of any Remedial Action, the minimum applicable

cleanup standards and the use of commercially reasonable risk-based remedies, engineering or institutional controls and land use restrictions, taking into account the continued operation of the property for industrial purposes, as used on the Separation Date); (ii) such Liabilities arise from or relate to any (y) change in use classification of any real property after the Separation Date from industrial to commercial or residential or from commercial to residential as a result of any change by the Party seeking indemnification or reimbursement in the use or operation of such real property or (z) contribution to or exacerbation of such Liabilities by any act or omission by any Indemnitee, or any future owner or operator of the relevant property, after the Separation Date (provided that, with respect to any Release of Hazardous Materials or violation of Environmental Law during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the Separation Date, the status quo operation by any Indemnitee, in the ordinary course and as conducted on the Separation Date, without any Indemnitee receiving notice or being aware of such Release or violation of Environmental Law (or receiving notice or being aware of circumstances under which Indemnitee would reasonably be expected to have identified such Release or violation) shall not constitute contribution or exacerbation to the extent such Release or violation was first caused on or prior to the Separation Date) or (iii) such Environmental Liability is solely comprised of the cost of maintaining engineering or institutional controls or land use restrictions after and so long as the Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the matter has determined in writing that no further Remedial Action is required at the relevant real property (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any groundwater monitoring).

SECTION 7.01. Agreement for Exchange of Information; Archives; Memorabilia. (a) Except in the case of an Adversarial Action or threatened Adversarial Action, and subject to Section 7.01(c), each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, at any time after the Separation Closing, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information (or a copy thereof) relating to time periods on or prior to the Separation Date in the possession or under the control of such respective Group, which J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing, notification or other requirements applicable to J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable (including under applicable securities laws), by any national securities exchange or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other Action, internal investigation or internal audit or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, regulatory, litigation, regulatory request for information or other similar requirements or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other contract or agreement in effect as of the Separation Closing. The receiving Party shall use any Information received pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) solely to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable obligations or requirements described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) In addition, subject to Section 7.01(c), each of J&J and Kenvue shall have the right at any time after the Separation Closing to request and access, pursuant to the request protocol set forth in Section 5.01(a) of the DTSA, any Specified Information to the extent related to (i) if Kenvue is the requesting Party, any member of the Kenvue Group, the Kenvue Business or any Kenvue Asset or Kenvue Liability or (ii) if J&J is the requesting Party, any member of the J&J Group, the J&J Business or any J&J Asset or J&J Liability.

(c) In the event that either J&J or Kenvue reasonably determines that the disclosure of any Information pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b) could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, such Party shall not be required to provide access to or furnish such Information to the other Party; provided, however, that, if any access or Information is withheld by a Party pursuant to this Section 7.01(c), such Party shall inform the other Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the basis for withholding such access or Information, and both Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), as applicable, in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Both J&J and Kenvue intend that any provision of access to or the furnishing of Information pursuant to this Section 7.01 that would otherwise be within the ambit of any legal privilege shall not operate as waiver of such privilege.

(d) Subject to the terms of the Memorabilia licenses set forth in the IPA, at any time after the Separation Closing, each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, after written request therefor by such other Party, reasonable access to any Memorabilia owned by such Party’s Group that relates to the history or historical activities of the other Party’s Group for such other Party to prepare and obtain (at its sole cost and expense) copies or reproductions thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) neither J&J nor Kenvue shall be required to provide any Information to the other Party pursuant to a request made under this Section 7.01 to the extent such Information has already been provided to such other Party pursuant to the DTSA and (ii) with respect to requests for or requirements to share TXMA Records contained in the Information, any additional request or sharing protocols set forth in the TXMA shall prevail in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the TXMA.

SECTION 7.02. Ownership of Information. The provision of Information to a requesting Party hereunder shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to transfer ownership of such Information. Except as specifically set forth herein or in the Ancillary Agreements, nothing herein shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

SECTION 7.03. Compensation for Providing Information. The Party receiving access to any Information pursuant to this Article VII shall reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable costs, if any, in complying with a request for Information pursuant to this Article VII, notwithstanding any alternative cost allocation that may have been applicable under the DTSA to the transfer of such Information had such Information been transferred pursuant to the DTSA.

SECTION 7.04. Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article VII and other provisions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to retain all Information in such Party’s possession relating to the other Party or its businesses, Assets or Liabilities, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements substantially in accordance with the provisions of the DTSA, as applicable; provided, that any TXMA Records in the Information shall be retained in compliance with any additional retention protocols set forth in the TXMA and, in case of conflict, the TXMA shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, such policies shall be deemed to apply to any Information in a Party’s possession or control on or after the Separation Date relating to the other Party or members of its Group.

SECTION 7.05. Disclosure and Financial Reporting. The Parties agree that, for so long as J&J is required to consolidate the results of operations and financial position of Kenvue and any other members of the Kenvue Group or to account for its investment in Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group under the equity method of accounting (determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and consistent with Commission reporting requirements) or to complete a financial statement audit for any such period:

(a) Disclosure and Financial Controls. Kenvue will, and will cause each other member of the Kenvue Group to, maintain, as of and after the Separation Date, (i) disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 and (ii) internal systems and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (A) Kenvue’s Financial Statements are reliable and timely prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable Law, (B) all transactions of members of the Kenvue Group are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of Kenvue’s Financial Statements, (C) the receipts and expenditures of members of the Kenvue Group are authorized at the appropriate level within Kenvue and (D) unauthorized use or disposition of the assets of any member of the Kenvue Group that could have a material effect on Kenvue’s Financial Statements is prevented or detected and communicated in a timely manner.

(b) Fiscal Year and Monthly Accounting Periods. Kenvue will, and will cause each member of the Kenvue Group to, maintain a fiscal year for purposes of GAAP reporting that commences and ends on the same calendar days as J&J’s fiscal year commences and ends and maintain monthly accounting periods for purposes of GAAP reporting that commence and end on the same calendar days as J&J’s monthly accounting periods commence and end.

(c) Financial Reporting. Kenvue will, and will cause each member of the Kenvue Group to, deliver to J&J monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports in accordance with J&J’s policies, procedures, practices and timelines (including J&J Worldwide Procedures) with respect to the provision of financial information to J&J in effect as of the Separation Date, as such policies, procedures, practices and timelines may be reasonably modified by J&J from time to time, including by providing such financial reports through, and in a format compatible with, J&J’s BRAVO financial reporting system.

(d) Quarterly and Annual Financial Statements. As soon as practicable after the end of each quarterly and annual accounting period of Kenvue, Kenvue will deliver to J&J drafts

From and after the delivery of such draft Financial Statements, Kenvue shall deliver to J&J all revisions to such drafts as and when such revisions are made. No later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date Kenvue publicly files any Financial Statements with the Commission or otherwise makes such Financial Statements publicly available, Kenvue will deliver to J&J the final form of such Financial Statements; provided, however, that Kenvue may continue to revise such Financial Statements prior to the filing thereof in order to make corrections and non-substantive changes so long as such corrections and changes are delivered to J&J by Kenvue as soon as practicable, and in any event within eight (8) hours of the making thereof; provided, further, that J&J’s and Kenvue’s financial representatives will actively consult with each other regarding any changes that Kenvue considers making to the Financial Statements and related disclosures during the period after delivery of the final form of Financial Statements pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.05(d), J&J and Kenvue will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that its Financial Statements for any fiscal period are filed in accordance with the scheduling requirements set forth on Schedule XVI, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Kenvue Reports Generally. Kenvue shall, and shall cause each other member of the Kenvue Group that files information with the Commission to, deliver to J&J drafts, as soon as the same are prepared, of (i) all releases, reports, notices and proxy and information statements to be sent or made available by any such member of the Kenvue Group to its security holders or the public, (ii) all regular, periodic and other reports to be filed or furnished under Sections 13, 14 and 15 of the Exchange Act (including reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and annual reports to shareholders) and (iii) all registration statements and prospectuses to be filed by any such member of the Kenvue Group with the Commission or any securities exchange (the documents identified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Kenvue Public Documents”).

(g) Additional Information. Kenvue shall promptly deliver to J&J any financial and other information and data with respect to the Kenvue Group and its business, properties, financial position, results of operations and prospects as is reasonably requested by J&J in connection with the preparation of J&J’s annual and quarterly financial statements and reports.

Kenvue agrees to provide to J&J all information that J&J reasonably requests in connection with any J&J Public Documents or that, in the judgment of J&J’s counsel, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under applicable Law. Kenvue will provide such information in a timely manner on the dates reasonably requested by J&J (which may be earlier than the dates on which Kenvue otherwise would be required to have such information available) to enable J&J to prepare, print and release all J&J Public Documents on such dates as J&J may determine. Kenvue will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Kenvue Auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any J&J Public Documents required under applicable Law. If and to the extent requested by J&J, Kenvue will diligently and promptly review all drafts of

such J&J Public Documents and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such J&J Public Documents pertaining to Kenvue. Prior to any printing or public release of any J&J Public Document, an appropriate executive officer of Kenvue will, if requested by J&J, certify that the information relating to any member of the Kenvue Group or the Kenvue Business in such J&J Public Document is accurate, true, complete and correct in all material respects. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Kenvue will not publicly release any financial or other information that conflicts with the information with respect to any member of the Kenvue Group or the Kenvue Business that is included in any J&J Public Document without J&J’s prior written consent. Prior to the release or filing thereof, J&J will provide Kenvue with a draft of any portion of a J&J Public Document containing information relating to the Kenvue Group and will give Kenvue an opportunity to review such information and comment thereon; provided that J&J will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the final form and content of all J&J Public Documents.

(j) Selection of Kenvue Auditors. Unless required by Law, Kenvue will not select an accounting firm other than PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or its affiliate accounting firms) (unless so directed by J&J in accordance with a change by J&J in its accounting firm) to serve as its independent certified public accountants (“Kenvue Auditors”) without J&J’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(k) Information Needed by Auditors. Kenvue shall provide all required financial information with respect to the Kenvue Group to the Kenvue Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit the Kenvue Auditors to take all steps and provide all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to the J&J Auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in J&J’s annual and quarterly financial statements.

(l) Access to Kenvue Auditors. Kenvue will authorize the Kenvue Auditors to make available to the J&J Auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Kenvue and work papers related to the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Kenvue, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the Kenvue Auditors’ opinion date, so that the J&J Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Kenvue Auditors as it relates to the J&J Auditors’ report on J&J’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable J&J to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of J&J’s annual financial statements.

(m) Access to Records. If J&J determines in good faith that there may be some inaccuracy in the financial statements of a member of the Kenvue Group or a deficiency or inadequacy in the internal accounting controls or operations of a member of the Kenvue Group that could materially impact J&J’s financial statements, at J&J’s request, Kenvue will provide the J&J Auditors and J&J’s other representatives with access to the Kenvue Group’s books and records so that J&J may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by Kenvue under this Agreement as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Kenvue Group.

(n) Notice of Changes. Kenvue will give J&J as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, Kenvue’s accounting

estimates or accounting principles from those in effect on the Separation Date. Kenvue will consult with J&J and, if requested by J&J, Kenvue will consult with the J&J Auditors with respect thereto. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Kenvue will not make any such determination or changes without J&J’s prior written consent if such a determination or a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in Kenvue’s or J&J’s financial statements as filed with the Commission or otherwise publicly disclosed therein.

(o) Special Reports of Deficiencies or Violations. Kenvue will report in reasonable detail to J&J the following events or circumstances promptly after any executive officer of Kenvue or any member of the board of directors of Kenvue becomes aware of such matter: (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Kenvue’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Kenvue’s internal controls over financial reporting, (iii) any illegal act within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act, (iv) any report of a material violation of Law that an attorney representing any member of the Kenvue Group has formally made to any officers or directors of Kenvue pursuant to the SEC’s attorney conduct rules and (v) the occurrence of any event following a reporting period that would reasonably be expected to be required by GAAP to be disclosed as a subsequent event in the consolidated financial statements of J&J or Kenvue.

(p) Certifications. In order to enable the principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) (as such terms are defined in the rules and regulations of the Commission) of J&J to make any certifications required of them under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Kenvue shall, within a reasonable period of time following a request from J&J in anticipation of filing such reports, cause its principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) to provide J&J with certifications of such officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to J&J, in support of the certifications of J&J’s principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) required under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K of J&J for which J&J is required by Law to consolidate the financial results or financial position of Kenvue and any other members of the Kenvue Group in its financial statements (either on a consolidation or equity accounting basis, determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with Commission reporting requirements) or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results or financial position of the Kenvue Group were consolidated with those of J&J.

(q) Designees. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.05, all reports, drafts, statements, data, certifications or other information required to be delivered to a Party pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be required to be delivered to the designees of such Party set forth on Schedule XVI. Each Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the designees to which such information is required to be delivered.

SECTION 7.06. No Liability. Neither J&J nor Kenvue shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this

Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person. Neither J&J nor Kenvue shall have any Liability to the other Party hereunder if any Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by Kenvue or J&J, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Section 7.04.

SECTION 7.07. Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. (a) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations or the Parties pursuant to Section 7.01 or Section 7.04, after the Separation Date, except in the case of an Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action, each of J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to make available, upon written request, (i) the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective Group (whether as witnesses or otherwise) and (ii) any books, records or other documents within its control or that it otherwise has the ability to make available, in each case, to the extent that such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action, threatened or contemplated Action or internal investigation or internal audit (including preparation for any such Action, investigation or audit) in which J&J or Kenvue or any Person in its Group, as applicable, may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action, threatened or contemplated Action or internal investigation or internal audit is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and consult with each other to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions, threatened or contemplated Actions or internal investigations or internal audits (including in connection with preparation for any such Action, investigation or audit), other than an Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action.

(c) The obligation of J&J and Kenvue to use reasonable best efforts to make available former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other personnel and agents or provide witnesses and experts pursuant to this Section 7.07 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to make available employees and other officers without regard to whether such individual or the employer of such individual could assert a possible business conflict (other than in the case of any Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action).

SECTION 7.08. Privileged Matters. (a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Separation Closing (whether by outside counsel, in-house counsel or other legal professionals) have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group, and that each of the members of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group shall be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Separation Closing, which services

will be rendered solely for the benefit of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) J&J shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the J&J Business and not to the Kenvue Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the J&J Group or any member of the Kenvue Group. J&J shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities and not any Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities in connection with any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the J&J Group or any member of the Kenvue Group; and

(ii) Kenvue shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the Kenvue Business and not to the J&J Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group. Kenvue shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities and not any J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities in connection with any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group.

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.08, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 7.08(b) in connection with any Actions or threatened or contemplated Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement. Upon the reasonable request of J&J or Kenvue, in connection with any Action or threatened or contemplated Action contemplated by this Article VII, other than any Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action, J&J and Kenvue will enter into a mutually acceptable common interest agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of either Group.

(d) If any dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Group regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith, (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party and the members of its Group and (iii) not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.

(e) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request (or of written notice that it will or has received such subpoena, discovery or other request) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge or becomes aware that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests (or have received written notice that they will or have received such subpoena, discovery or other requests) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of any such subpoena, discovery or other request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 7.08 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information; provided that if such Party is prohibited by applicable Law from disclosing the existence of such subpoena, discovery or other request, such Party shall provide written notice of such related information for which disclosure is not prohibited by applicable Law and use reasonable best efforts to inform the other Party of any related information such Party reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate for the other Party to be informed of to enable the other Party to review the privileged Information and to assert its rights, under this Section 7.08 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

(f) The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise. The Parties further agree that (i) the exchange by one Party to the other Party of any Information that should not have been exchanged pursuant to the terms of Section 7.09 shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such privileged Information and (ii) the Party receiving such privileged Information shall promptly return such privileged Information to the Party who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.

SECTION 7.09. Confidential Information. (a) Each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective Group, agrees to hold, and cause its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, not release or disclose, and protect, with at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, that J&J applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date, all Information concerning the other Group or its business that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession prior to the Separation Closing) or furnished by the other Group or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder,

except, in each case, to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel or other advisors or representatives, as applicable, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation to the knowledge of any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or (iv) required to be disclosed by Law; provided, however, that the Person required to disclose such Information pursuant to this clause (iv) gives the applicable Person prompt, and to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, prior notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Person, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such Person. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Person that is required to disclose such Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of J&J and Kenvue may release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information concerning the other Group (x) to the members of its Group and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of the obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), and (y) prior to the Separation Date, to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as it reasonably deems necessary, solely for the purpose of obtaining a rating of securities or other debt instruments upon normal terms and conditions; provided, however, that the Party whose Information is being disclosed or released to such rating organization is promptly notified thereof.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information concerning the other Group or its business is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each of J&J and Kenvue will, reasonably promptly after the request of the other Party, either return all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party, as applicable, that it has destroyed such Information, other than, in each case, any such Information electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database) pursuant to automatic or routine backup or storage procedures.

SECTION 8.01. Access to Insurance. (a) With respect to Liabilities that constitute Kenvue Liabilities or are otherwise incurred by a member of the Kenvue Group, in each case to the extent related to or arising from an occurrence prior to the Separation Date, any rights to insurance coverage to the extent applicable to those Liabilities under Commercial

Insurance Policies issued to any member of the J&J Group are hereby assigned by J&J (on behalf of itself and the applicable members of its Group) to the applicable members of the Kenvue Group on that same date. J&J shall (or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to) provide the applicable member of the Kenvue Group with, from the Separation Date, access to, and the right to make claims under, the applicable Commercial Insurance Policy; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such Commercial Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such policy, including any limits on coverage or scope, and any deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums and other chargeback amounts, fees, costs and expenses, and shall be subject to the following:

(i) if and to the extent Kenvue or other members of the Kenvue Group are the only entities making a claim for coverage under such Commercial Insurance Policy in respect of a particular claim for coverage, (A) if permitted under such Commercial Insurance Policy, the applicable members of the Kenvue Group shall be responsible for the submission, administration and management of any claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy, and J&J shall reasonably cooperate with Kenvue in connection therewith; provided, that Kenvue shall provide reasonable notice to J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, prior to submitting any such claim; and (B) if such Commercial Insurance Policy does not permit the applicable members of the Kenvue Group to directly submit claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy, Kenvue shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Kenvue Group to, report any potential claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy as soon as reasonably practicable to J&J and J&J shall, or shall cause the relevant member of the J&J Group to, reasonably promptly submit such claims directly to the applicable insurer on behalf of Kenvue and reasonably cooperate with Kenvue in connection with the submission of such claim; provided that with respect to any such claims, Kenvue (or the applicable member of the Kenvue Group) shall (x) be responsible for (1) the preparation of any documents or forms that are required for the submission of such claims and (2) the administration and management of such claims after submission, and (y) provide J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, with such documents, forms or other information necessary for the submission of such claims by J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, on behalf of Kenvue (or the applicable member of the Kenvue Group);

(ii) if and to the extent Kenvue or other members of the Kenvue Group are the only entities recovering under such Commercial Insurance Policy in respect of a particular claim for coverage, Kenvue (or the applicable members of the Kenvue Group) shall be responsible for any payments to the applicable Commercial Insurer under such Commercial Insurance Policy relating to its claims submissions, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse J&J (and the relevant members of the J&J Group) for any deductibles, captive reinsurance or self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums and other chargeback amounts, fees, costs and expenses incurred by J&J (or any other members of the J&J Group) to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by or on behalf of Kenvue (or any other members of the Kenvue Group) under, any such Commercial Insurance Policy provided pursuant to this Section 8.01(a), including

any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are submitted directly or indirectly by or on behalf of Kenvue, another member of the Kenvue Group, its or their employees or third parties;

(iii) if J&J and Kenvue (or other members of their respective Groups) jointly make a claim for coverage under such Commercial Insurance Policy for amounts that have been or may in the future be incurred partially by J&J (or other members of the J&J Group) and partially by Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group), then J&J and Kenvue will cooperate with each other in pursuit of such coverage and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to pursue any such claim (provided that nothing in this Section 8.01(a)(iii) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise), and any insurance recovery therefrom shall first be allocated to reimburse J&J and Kenvue (and the other members of their respective Groups, as applicable) for their respective costs, legal and consulting fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing such insurance recovery, and then the remaining amounts shall be allocated among the Parties in an equitable manner;

(iv) Kenvue (or the applicable members of the Kenvue Group) shall bear (and none of J&J or any member of the J&J Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse any members of the Kenvue Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Kenvue or any members of the Kenvue Group under such Commercial Insurance Policy (unless otherwise constituting a J&J Liability); and

(v) no member of the Kenvue Group, in connection with making a claim under any such Commercial Insurance Policy pursuant to this Section 8.01(a), shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (w) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between any member of the J&J Group, on the one hand, and the applicable Commercial Insurer, on the other hand; (x) result in the applicable Commercial Insurer terminating or reducing coverage to, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by, any member of the J&J Group under such policy; (y) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of any member of the J&J Group under such policy; or (z) otherwise compromise or impair the ability of J&J to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, and J&J shall have the right to cause Kenvue to desist, or cause any other member of the Kenvue Group to desist, from any action that it reasonably determines would compromise or impair its rights in accordance with this clause (z); provided, that this Section 8.01(a)(v) shall not preclude or otherwise restrict any member of the Kenvue Group from reporting claims to insurers in the ordinary course of business.

(b) With respect to any Commercial Insurance Policies which the Kenvue Group has access to, and the right to make claims under, pursuant to Section 8.01(a), claims shall be

paid and the applicable limits under such Commercial Insurance Policies shall be reduced, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such Commercial Insurance Policies and without any priority or preference shown or given to either J&J or Kenvue (or any other members of their respective Groups), absent any written agreement between the Parties otherwise; provided, however, that none of J&J or Kenvue (or any other member of their respective Groups) shall accelerate or delay either the notification and submission of claims, on the one hand, or the demand for coverage for and receipt of insurance payments, on the other hand, in a manner that would differ from that which each would follow in the ordinary course when acting without regard to sufficiency of limits of such Commercial Insurance Policies.

(c) Except as provided in Section 8.04, J&J (or the applicable member of the J&J Group) shall retain the exclusive right to control the insurance policies and programs (including the Commercial Insurance Policies) of the J&J Group, including to terminate, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back, amend, modify, waive any rights under or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any such insurance policies and programs, irrespective of whether any such insurance policies or programs apply to Kenvue Liabilities and/or claims that Kenvue has made or could make in the future.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Separation Closing, neither Kenvue nor any member of the Kenvue Group shall have access to, nor the right to make claims under, any insurance policies or programs of the J&J Group that are not Commercial Insurance Policies (“Non-Commercial Insurance Policies”). Effective as of the Separation Closing, Kenvue does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, release any rights such Persons may have to recover under any Non-Commercial Insurance Policy. From and after the Separation Closing, to the extent any insurer makes a payment in respect of a Non-Commercial Insurance Policy to or on behalf of a member of the Kenvue Group, Kenvue shall promptly pay an equivalent amount to J&J.

SECTION 8.02. Coverage After the Separation. It is the responsibility of the Kenvue Group to obtain continuing insurance coverage for the Assets of the Kenvue Group and for the Liabilities of the Kenvue Group accruing after the Separation Closing. J&J shall provide, and shall cause the other members of the J&J Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Kenvue in order for Kenvue to have in effect after the Separation Closing such new insurance policies and programs as Kenvue deems reasonably appropriate.

SECTION 8.03. No Assignment of Entire Insurance Policies. This Agreement shall not be considered an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the J&J Group under or with respect to any Commercial Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

SECTION 8.04. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. (a) Until the Separation Closing, J&J shall maintain directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance Policies”) for officers and directors of the Kenvue Group to the extent commercially available and at premiums not materially different than the coverage in effect as of the date hereof, and shall not take any action

that would adversely and disproportionately affect the coverage available to officers and directors of the Kenvue Group for D&O Indemnification Liabilities as compared to the officers and directors of the J&J Group; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, during the period between the Separation Closing and the Distribution Date, J&J may elect, in its sole discretion, to cover the applicable liabilities of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group under D&O Insurance Policies that cover both the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group in the same policy.

(b) On and after the Separation Closing, to the extent that any claims have been duly reported before the Separation Closing or are otherwise covered under the D&O Insurance Policies maintained by members of the J&J Group, J&J shall not, and shall cause the members of the J&J Group not to, take any action intended to limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group) prior to the Separation Closing for D&O Indemnification Liabilities under any D&O Insurance Policies maintained by the members of the J&J Group. On and after the Separation Closing, J&J shall, and shall cause the other members of the J&J Group to, reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors and officers of Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group) prior to the Separation Closing in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Insurance Policies for D&O Indemnification Liabilities which could inure to the benefit of such individuals. Kenvue acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Kenvue Group to obtain continuing insurance coverage for the directors and officers of the members of the Kenvue Group for Liabilities accruing after the Separation Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group are covered during the period between the Separation Closing and the Distribution Date under D&O Insurance Policies that cover both the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group in the same policy, the term “Separation Closing” shall be deleted and replaced with the term “Distribution Date” wherever the term “Separation Closing” appears prior to this sentence in this Section 8.04(b).

SECTION 9.01. Further Assurances. (a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall, subject to Section 4.04 and Section 5.02(a), use reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Separation Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Separation Date, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party (i) to execute and deliver, or use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments as such Party may reasonably be requested to execute and deliver by the other Party, (ii) to make, or cause to be made, all filings with, and to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Governmental Approvals or other Consents required by Law or otherwise necessary or advisable under any ruling, judgment, Permit, agreement, indenture or other instrument, (iii) to obtain, or

cause to be obtained, any Governmental Approvals or other Consents required to effect the Separation, any transfers pursuant to Section 2.07, the Initial Public Offering, the Distribution or the Other Disposition, or to conduct the Kenvue Business or the J&J Business, as each was conducted as of the Separation Date, from and after the Separation Date and (iv) to take, or cause to be taken, all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and any transfers of Assets or assignments and assumptions of Liabilities hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or submit any such Governmental Approval or Consent.

(c) On or prior to the Separation Date, J&J and Kenvue, in their respective capacities as direct and indirect shareholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Kenvue or any other Subsidiary of J&J, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Distribution Date, Kenvue will not, without the prior written consent of J&J (which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), issue (i) any shares of Kenvue Voting Stock or any rights, warrants or options to acquire Kenvue Voting Stock (including, without limitation, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Kenvue Voting Stock) or (ii) any share of Kenvue Non-Voting Stock; provided that, regardless of whether or not J&J shall have consented thereto, in no case shall any such issuance (after giving effect to such issuance and considering all the shares of Kenvue Voting Stock or Kenvue Non-Voting Stock acquirable pursuant to any rights, warrants and options that may be outstanding on the date of such issuance (whether or not then exercisable)), result in J&J owning directly or indirectly less than the number of shares necessary to (x) constitute control of Kenvue within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code or (y) meet the stock-ownership requirements described in Section 1504(a)(2) of the Code (in each case, if the number 80.1% were substituted for the number 80 each time it appears in such Sections).

SECTION 10.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by J&J at any time, in its sole discretion, prior to the Separation Closing.

SECTION 10.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Separation Closing, neither Party (nor any of its directors or officers) shall have any Liability or further obligation to the other Party under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

SECTION 11.01. Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power. (a) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and a facsimile or PDF signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

(b) This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement shall be consistent with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any specific provision of an applicable Ancillary Agreement, such Ancillary Agreement shall control; provided that with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument.

(c) J&J represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the J&J Group, and Kenvue represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, as follows:

(i) each such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform each of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ii) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been (or, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, will be on or prior to the Separation Date) duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes, or will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

SECTION 11.02. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. (a)    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.

(b) Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties (a “Dispute”), either Party may refer such Dispute to the respective senior officers of such Parties by delivering written notice of such

Dispute to the other Party (a “Negotiation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Negotiation Notice, each Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation among their respective senior officers who hold, at a minimum, the title of Executive Vice President and who have authority to settle such Dispute.

(c) If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within 30 calendar days of the delivery of a Negotiation Notice, then either Party shall have the right to initiate non-binding mediation by delivering written notice to the other Party (a “Mediation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Mediation Notice, the applicable Dispute shall be promptly submitted for non-binding mediation conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Mediation Rules”), and the Parties shall participate in such mediation in good faith for a period of 30 calendar days or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Mediation Period”). In connection with such mediation, the Parties shall cooperate with each other and the American Arbitration Association in selecting a neutral mediator with relevant industry experience and in scheduling the mediation proceedings; provided, that, if the Parties are unable to agree on a neutral mediator within 10 calendar days of the delivery of a Mediation Notice, the Parties shall cause the American Arbitration Association to select and appoint a neutral mediator on the Parties’ behalf in accordance with the Mediation Rules. The Parties agree to bear equally the costs of any mediation, including any fees or expenses of the applicable mediator; provided, that each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with participating in such mediation.

(d) If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute via negotiation or mediation in accordance with Section 11.02(b) and Section 11.02(c), then, following the Mediation Period, either Party may commence litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 11.02(e). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 11.02(f), neither Party may commence litigation with respect to a Dispute until and unless the Parties first fail to resolve such Dispute via negotiation and mediation in accordance with Section 11.02(b) and Section 11.02(c).

(e) Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the federal court of the United States sitting in Delaware or, if (and only if) the federal court of the United States sitting in Delaware finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction, at any time, in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage on a provisional basis, pending the resolution of any dispute hereunder, including under Sections 11.02(b) or (c) hereof.

SECTION 11.03. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this Section 11.03 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.04. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

SECTION 11.05. Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) on the date received, if sent by a nationally recognized delivery or courier service or (c) upon the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

If to Kenvue, to:
Kenvue Inc.
199 Grandview Road
Skillman, NJ 08558
Attention: General Counsel

Either Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are to be given.

SECTION 11.06. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 11.07. Publicity. Each of J&J and Kenvue shall consult with the other, and shall, subject to the requirements of Section 7.09, provide the other Party the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press releases or other public statements in connection with the Separation, the Initial Public Offering, the Distribution or the Other Disposition or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and any filings with any Governmental Authority or national securities exchange with respect thereto, in each case prior to the issuance or filing thereof, as applicable (including the IPO Registration Statement, the Parties’ respective Current Reports on Form 8-K to be filed on the Distribution Date, the Parties’ respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with respect to the fiscal quarter during which the Distribution Date occurs, or if such quarter is the fourth fiscal quarter, the Parties’ respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with respect to the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs (each such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, a “First

Post-Distribution Report”)). Each Party’s aforementioned obligations in this Section 11.07 shall terminate on the date on which such Party’s First Post-Distribution Report is filed with the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that immediately following the Separation Closing, J&J shall publish a statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on its website located at jnj.com and on its primary social media channels (the wording of the statement in each case to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties), and J&J further agrees that it shall maintain the approved statement on jnj.com for a period of time following the Separation Closing, the duration of such period to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

SECTION 11.08. Expenses.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, (i) J&J shall bear and pay all Transaction Expenses incurred at or prior to the Separation Closing and (ii) Kenvue shall bear and pay all Transaction Expenses incurred after the Separation Closing; provided, that, notwithstanding this clause (ii), J&J shall bear and pay (A) any Transaction Expenses that are primarily related to the stand-up of members of the J&J Group, (B) any Transaction Expenses incurred with respect to the services listed on Schedule XVII and (C) any Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with services expressly requested by J&J in writing following the Separation Closing.

(b) If any Party (or a member of its Group) actually pays any Transaction Expenses (such Party, the “Actual Payor”) that were required to have been borne and paid by the other Party pursuant to this Section 11.08 or otherwise (such other Party, the “Required Payor”), the Actual Payor may invoice the Required Payor for the amount of such Transaction Expenses on a quarterly basis (which such invoice shall include reasonable documentation of the amount of such Transaction Expenses), and the Required Payor shall be required to pay such amount to the Actual Payor within 45 days after receipt of such invoice. Any payment not received by the Actual Payor by such date and not otherwise the subject of a good faith dispute shall be subject to a late payment interest charge using the 1-month term secured overnight financing rate (Term SOFR), determined as of such date, plus 0.5%; provided that in the event of any good faith dispute, interest shall not be due on that part of the invoice subject to dispute until after settlement or other resolution of such dispute; provided, further, that a resolution in favor of the Required Payor shall not result in the incurrence of any late-payment interest charges.

SECTION 11.09. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10. Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants in this Agreement and the liabilities for the breach of any obligations in this Agreement shall survive the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and any Distribution or Other Disposition, as applicable, and shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11.11. Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of

any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 11.12. Specific Performance. Subject to Section 4.04 and Section 5.02(a), in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived.

SECTION 11.13. No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, on the one hand, and Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, on the other hand, and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party.

SECTION 11.14. Amendments; Waivers. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party, and no waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party sought to be bound by such waiver.

SECTION 11.15. Interpretation. Words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section or Schedule references are to the articles, sections and schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule to this Agreement or to any Ancillary Agreement but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement to which such Schedule is attached, as applicable. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including any reference herein to this Agreement) shall be construed to refer to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications as set forth herein). The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise

specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The words “will” and “shall” shall be interpreted to have the same meaning.

SECTION 11.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH OF THE PARTIES UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH OF THE PARTIES MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH OF THE PARTIES HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.16.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.
