(g) Delayed YUM Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the YUM Group of any YUM Asset or assumption by the YUM Group of any YUM Liability would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Effective Time then, unless the Parties mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the YUM Group of such YUM Asset or the assumption by the YUM Group of such YUM Liability, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such YUM Assets or YUM Liabilities shall continue to constitute YUM Assets and YUM Liabilities, as the case may be, for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any outstanding checks issued or payments initiated by YUM, SpinCo or any other member of their respective Groups prior to the Effective Time, such outstanding checks and payments shall be honored following the Effective Time by the Person or Group owning the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.

(c) As between YUM and the SpinCo Parties (and the other members of their respective Groups), all payments made and reimbursements received after the Effective Time to or by any Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of another Party (or other member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, promptly following receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, YUM or the SpinCo Parties, as applicable, shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable other member of its Group to pay over, to such other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

Any such Certification(s) provided by YUM to SpinCo under this Section 2.12 shall be provided by YUM (and not by any officer or employee in their individual capacity).

(xi) No other event or development shall have occurred or shall exist that, in the judgment of the YUM Board, in its sole discretion, makes it inadvisable to effect the Separation, the Distribution or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of YUM and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of YUM or the YUM Board to waive or not waive any such condition or in any way limit YUM’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article IX or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in Article IX. Any determination made by the YUM Board prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(a) shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

3.4 The Distribution.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3, at or prior to the Effective Time, SpinCo will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Record Holders, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding SpinCo Shares as is necessary to effect the Distribution, and shall cause the transfer agent for the YUM Shares to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of SpinCo Shares to each such holder or designated transferee or transferees of such holder by way of direct registration in book-entry form. SpinCo will not issue paper stock certificates in respect of the SpinCo Shares. The Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4(c), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of whole SpinCo Shares to be determined by resolution of the YUM Board, for every one (1) YUM Share held by such Record Holder on the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a shareholder of SpinCo. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a SpinCo Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, YUM shall direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional SpinCo Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers’ fees and commissions. None of YUM, SpinCo or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional SpinCo Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Neither YUM nor SpinCo will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of YUM or the SpinCo Parties. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of YUM Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the distribution of SpinCo Shares pursuant to the Distribution is not permitted under the applicable Law of any jurisdiction (each such jurisdiction, a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”), each Record Holder in such Prohibited Jurisdiction who, but for such applicable Law, would have received a SpinCo Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall receive a distribution of cash, without any interest thereon, in lieu of such SpinCo Share to the extent permitted by the applicable Law of such Prohibited

Jurisdiction. The procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c) with respect to fractional shares shall apply to the distribution of SpinCo Shares to Record Holders in Prohibited Jurisdictions, mutatis mutandis, with each reference to a “fractional share” in such sentences being deemed a reference to a SpinCo Share that, but for this Section 3.4(d) and for applicable Law, would have been distributed pursuant to the Distribution to a Record Holder in a Prohibited Jurisdiction.

(e) Any SpinCo Shares or cash in lieu of SpinCo Shares (or fractions thereof) that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to SpinCo, and SpinCo shall hold such SpinCo Shares for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such SpinCo Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of SpinCo Shares (or fractions thereof) shall be obligations of the SpinCo Parties, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and YUM shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(f) Until the SpinCo Shares are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.4 and applicable Law and subject to Section 3.4(d), from and after the Effective Time, the SpinCo Parties will regard the Persons entitled to receive such SpinCo Shares as record holders of SpinCo Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons. The SpinCo Parties agree that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the SpinCo Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the SpinCo Shares then held by such holder.

Except as provided in Sections 4.1(c) and 4.2, effective as of the Effective Time, YUM does hereby, for itself and each other member of the YUM Group and their respective successors and assigns, and, to the extent permitted by Law, all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the YUM Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge each SpinCo Party and the other members of the SpinCo Group, and their respective successors and assigns, from (A) all YUM Liabilities, (B) all Liabilities arising from or in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Separation and the Distribution and (C) all Liabilities arising from or in connection with actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time (whether or not such Liabilities cease being contingent, mature, become known, are asserted or foreseen, or accrue, in each case before, at or after the Effective Time), in each case to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the YUM Business, the YUM Assets or the YUM Liabilities.

(c) Obligations Not Affected. Nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.7(b) or the applicable Schedule to Section 2.7(b) as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group that is specified in Section 2.7(b) or the applicable Schedule to Section 2.7(b) as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, or any other Liability specified in Section 2.7(b) as not to terminate as of the Effective Time;

(ii) 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 Liability for the sale, lease, construction or receipt of goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course of business by a member of one Group from a member of the other Group prior to the Effective Time;

(iv) any Liability provided in or resulting from any Contract or understanding that is entered into after the Effective Time between any Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and any other Party (and/or a member of such other Party’s Group), on the other hand;

(v) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution or other obligation pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties or members of their Groups by Third Parties, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article IV and Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or

(vi) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 4.1.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) shall release any member of the YUM Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of SpinCo who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the YUM Group at or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to such existing obligations, it being understood that, if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a SpinCo Liability, the SpinCo Parties shall indemnify YUM for such Liability (including YUM’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV.

(d) No Claims. The SpinCo Parties shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the SpinCo 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 YUM or any other member of the YUM Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). YUM shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the YUM 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 either SpinCo Party or any other member of the SpinCo Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

(e) Execution of Further Releases. At any time at or after the Effective Time, at the request of YUM or SpinCo, each other Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.1.

4.2 Indemnification by the SpinCo Parties. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the SpinCo Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless YUM, each other member of the YUM Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “YUM Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the YUM Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any SpinCo Liability;

(b) any failure of a SpinCo Party, any other member of the SpinCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time;

(d) any breach by a SpinCo Party or any other member of the SpinCo Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(e) except to the extent it relates to a YUM Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the SpinCo Group by any member of the YUM Group that survives following the Distribution; and

4.3 Indemnification by YUM. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, YUM shall, and shall cause the other members of the YUM Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each SpinCo Party, each other member of the SpinCo Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any YUM Liability;

(b) any failure of YUM, any other member of the YUM Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any YUM Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time;

(d) any breach by YUM or any other member of the YUM Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(e) except to the extent it relates to a SpinCo Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the YUM Group by any member of the SpinCo Group that survives following the Distribution; and

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in YUM’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if SpinCo shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.3(f) shall be the only statements made explicitly in YUM’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document, and all other information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be information supplied by SpinCo.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) under this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts, 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 the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the liability allocation, indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Accordingly, any provision herein that could have the result of giving any insurer or other Third Party such a “windfall” shall be suspended or amended to the extent necessary to not provide such “windfall.” Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek or collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable with respect to the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV; provided that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Effective Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than fourteen (14) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, 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 an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent (if any) to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise, subject to Section 4.5(e)), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any Liabilities to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and

shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel, as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel, as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. No Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which any Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable, and are capable of being paid in full, by the settling or compromising Party, does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by any other Party (or any other member of its Group or any of their respective past, present or future directors, officers or employees) and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of each other Party (and each other relevant member of its Group and any of its or their relevant past, present, or future directors, officers or employees) from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents any other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which any Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) the knowledge at any time by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against each other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to any other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then such other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any 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 such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable

manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Substitution. In the event of an Action for which a Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, and, subject to the other provisions of this Article IV, the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

4.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an 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 the 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 other members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed SpinCo Assets or Delayed SpinCo Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the YUM Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the SpinCo Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo, YCCL and the other members of the SpinCo Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of YUM or any other member of the YUM Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed YUM Assets or Delayed YUM Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the SpinCo Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the YUM Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of YUM and the other members of the YUM Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo, YCCL or any other member of the SpinCo Group.

4.8 Covenant Not to Xxx. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the other members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it or any of them shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo, YCCL or any other member of the SpinCo Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any YUM Liabilities by YUM or a member of the YUM Group on the terms and conditions set

forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

4.10 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of YUM and the SpinCo Parties and the respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by any Party or any member of its respective Group of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving a Party or any of the other members of such Party’s Group.

4.11 Coordination with Ancillary Agreements.

(a) The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.10 and Sections 4.12 through 4.13 shall not apply with respect to Taxes or Tax matters (including the control of Tax related proceedings), which shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall prevail.

(b) The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.10 shall not apply (except as expressly set forth in the applicable Ancillary Agreement) with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Master License Agreement, the Guaranty or the Transition Services Agreement, which shall be governed by the Master License Agreement, the Guaranty and the Transition Services Agreement, respectively. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Master License Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Master License Agreement, the Master License Agreement shall prevail. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Guaranty in relation to any matters addressed by the Guaranty, the Guaranty shall prevail. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Transition Services Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement shall prevail.

4.12 Management of Certain Actions. This Section 4.12 shall govern the direction of certain pending and future Actions in which members of the SpinCo Group or the YUM Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II or the rights and obligations under Section 4.5 unless expressly set forth in this Section 4.12.

(a) Management of SpinCo Specified Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the SpinCo Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) SpinCo Specified Actions and (ii) any other Actions that constitute only SpinCo Liabilities or SpinCo Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely a SpinCo Liability or a SpinCo Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the YUM Group as a party thereto, then the SpinCo Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the YUM Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No Party shall add any other Party (or any other

member of its Group) to any Action pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of such other Party.

(b) Management of YUM Specified Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the YUM Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) YUM Specified Actions and (ii) any other Actions that constitute only YUM Liabilities or YUM Assets. If an Action that constitutes solely a YUM Liability or a YUM Asset is commenced after the Effective Time naming a member of the SpinCo Group as a party thereto, then YUM shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the SpinCo Group to be removed as a party to such Action. No Party shall add any other Party (or any other Member of its Group) to any Action pending as of the Effective Time without the prior written consent of such other Party.

(c) Management of Mixed Actions. From and after the Effective Time, the Parties shall jointly manage (whether as co-defendants or co-plaintiffs) any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 4.12(c) (except as otherwise set forth therein) and (ii) any other Action that constitutes both a SpinCo Liability and a YUM Liability (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Mixed Actions”). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for YUM, SpinCo and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to Mixed Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared equally by YUM, on the one hand, and the SpinCo Parties, on the other hand) 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 YUM, on the one hand, and the SpinCo Parties, on the other hand, shall share equally discovery and other joint litigation costs. In any Mixed Action, each of YUM and the SpinCo Parties may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the YUM Business or the SpinCo Business, respectively; provided that each Party shall in good faith make all reasonable efforts to avoid adverse effects on any other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if a judgment is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Liabilities in respect of such judgment between them based on the YUM Business and the SpinCo Business, and otherwise shall share equally such Liabilities; and (ii) if a recovery is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Assets in respect of such recovery between them based on their respective injuries, and otherwise shall share equally such Assets. A Party (or another member of its Group) that is not named as a defendant in a Mixed Action may elect to become a Party to such Mixed Action, and the Party (or other member of its Group) named in such Mixed Action shall reasonably cooperate to have such first Party (or other member of its Group) named in such Mixed Action.

(d) Delegation of Rights of Recovery. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights to recovery of each member of a Party’s Group in respect of any past, present or future Action are hereby delegated to such Party. It is the intent of the Parties that the foregoing delegation shall satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. Each of the Parties and each of the other members of its Group shall execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

4.13 Settlement of Actions. No Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 4.12 shall settle or compromise such Action without the prior written consent of a Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or compromise would result in any remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of such other Party’s Group (or any of such Group’s respective past, present or future directors, officers or employees).

ARTICLE V
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) YUM and the SpinCo Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Effective Time. In no event shall YUM, any other member of the YUM Group or any YUM Indemnitee have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the SpinCo Group if any insurance policy or other Contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the SpinCo Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liabilities incurred by any member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time, YUM will provide SpinCo with access to, and SpinCo may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to YUM, make claims under, YUM’s third-party insurance policies that may provide coverage for acts occurring prior to the Effective Time, if renewed, and YUM’s historical policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the SpinCo Group prior to the Effective Time; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) The SpinCo Parties shall report any claim to YUM, as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with YUM’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by YUM to the SpinCo Parties in writing);

(ii) The SpinCo Parties and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse YUM and the other members of the YUM Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees and expenses incurred by YUM or any members of the YUM Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by the SpinCo Parties or any other members of the SpinCo Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by the SpinCo Parties, their employees or Third Parties; and

(iii) The SpinCo Parties shall exclusively bear (and neither YUM nor any other members of the YUM Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse the SpinCo Parties or any other member of the SpinCo Group for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by the SpinCo Parties or any other member of the SpinCo Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b). If an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the YUM Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to YUM’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time). To the extent that the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to YUM’s insurance carrier(s), each other Party shall promptly pay the first Party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, YUM may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that YUM elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to SpinCo, and SpinCo may direct YUM in writing to, and YUM shall, in such case, reinstate the policy aggregate; provided that the SpinCo Parties shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

If any member of the YUM Group incurs any Liabilities prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the YUM Group is entitled to coverage under third-party insurance policies of any member of the SpinCo Group, the same process pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall apply, substituting “YUM” for “SpinCo” or “the SpinCo Parties,” as applicable, and “the SpinCo Parties” for “YUM.”

(c) Except as provided in Section 5.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, neither the SpinCo Parties nor any other member of the SpinCo Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of YUM or any other member of the YUM Group. At the Effective Time, the SpinCo Parties shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with the contractual obligations of the SpinCo Parties and the other members of the SpinCo Group and such other insurance policies required by applicable Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to the SpinCo Business.

(d) Neither the SpinCo Parties nor any other member of the SpinCo Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of YUM or any other member of the YUM Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between YUM or any other member of the YUM Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by YUM or any other member of the YUM Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of YUM or any other member of the YUM Group under the applicable insurance policy.

(e) All payments and reimbursements by the SpinCo Parties pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within thirty (30) days after the SpinCo Parties’ receipt of an invoice therefor from YUM. If YUM or any other member of the YUM Group incurs costs to enforce the

SpinCo Parties’ obligations herein, the SpinCo Parties agrees to indemnify and hold harmless YUM and the other members of the YUM Group for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. YUM shall retain the exclusive right to control the YUM Group’s insurance policies and programs, including the right to erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any SpinCo Liabilities and/or claims the SpinCo Parties or any other member of the SpinCo Group has made or could make in the future, and no member of the SpinCo Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with insurers of any member of the YUM Group with respect to any of their respective insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. The SpinCo Parties shall and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group to cooperate with YUM and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit YUM to manage and conduct the YUM Group’s insurance matters as it deems appropriate. Neither YUM nor any of the other members of the YUM Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Liability policies of YUM or any other member of the YUM Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the SpinCo Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

(f) YUM shall, and shall cause the other members of the YUM Group to, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at SpinCo’s reasonable request (and provided that the SpinCo Parties comply with the requirements of Section 5.1(b)), to assist SpinCo in making claims under the YUM Group insurance policies described in Section 5.1(b), (ii) notify SpinCo within thirty (30) days of any election by YUM to control any claim under a YUM Group insurance policy or program to the extent such claim relates to a SpinCo Asset and/or SpinCo Liability, (iii) promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days after YUM’s receipt thereof) pay over to SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group any Insurance Proceeds that are received by YUM or any member of the YUM Group in respect of such claims, and (iv) endeavor to notify SpinCo of any changes to the structure or limit of subsequent renewals relating to directors and officers insurance programs.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a Contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the YUM Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other Contract or policy of insurance.

(h) Each of the SpinCo Parties does hereby, for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, agree that no member of the YUM Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of YUM and the other members of the YUM Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.2 Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or

demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest from and including the date immediately following the due date therefor through and including the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%). Such rate shall be redetermined at the beginning of each calendar quarter following such due date. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days for which due.

5.3 Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes. For all tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Effective Time) as either a contribution by YUM to SpinCo or a distribution by SpinCo to YUM, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Effective Time or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; and (ii) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to receive such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law. In the event that any such payment is made by a member of the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group (other than YUM or SpinCo) or is received by a member of the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group (other than YUM or SpinCo), then for all Tax purposes the Parties shall treat such payment as being made and received by YUM or SpinCo, as the case may be, with corresponding distributions or contributions deemed to occur between YUM and the applicable members of the YUM Group or SpinCo and the applicable members of the SpinCo Group, as the case may be.

5.4 Non-Solicitation. Each Party, agrees that, for a period of twelve (12) months from the Distribution Date, such Party (a “Soliciting Party”) shall not, and shall cause the other members of its Group not to, solicit for employment any person who is employed by any member of any other Party’s Group (a “Protected Party”) at the level of seniority of director or higher without the Protected Party’s express written consent; provided, that this Section 5.4 shall not prohibit: (i) generalized solicitations that are not directed to employees of the Protected Party; (ii) the solicitation of a person whose employment was terminated by the Protected Party prior to any such solicitation; or (iii) the solicitation of a person who has terminated his or her employment with the Protected Party without any prior solicitation by the Soliciting Party.

5.5 Inducement. The SpinCo Parties acknowledge and agree that YUM’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by the SpinCo Parties’ covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including the SpinCo Parties’ assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and the SpinCo Parties’ covenants and agreements contained in Article IV.

5.6 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, YUM (and the other members of the YUM Group) shall be independent of SpinCo (and the other members of the SpinCo Group), and SpinCo (and the other members of the SpinCo Group) shall be independent of YUM (and the other members of the YUM Group), in each case with responsibility for its own respective actions and inactions and its own respective Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or any

Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall and shall cause the other members of its Group to (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by any other Party (or the other members of its Group).

(a) Subject to Section 6.9, any other applicable confidentiality obligations, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, each of YUM and each of the SpinCo Parties, on behalf of itself and each other member of its respective Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to each other Party and the other members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or any other member of such Party’s Group to the requesting Party or other member of such Party’s Group to the extent that (i) such information relates to the SpinCo Business, or any SpinCo Asset or SpinCo Liability, if a SpinCo Party or any other member of the SpinCo Group is the requesting Party, or to the YUM Business, or any YUM Asset or YUM Liability, if YUM or any other member of the YUM Group is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party or any other member of such Party’s Group to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, if the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing the information or any other member of such Party’s Group, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of a Party under Section 6.4.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the SpinCo fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other Party’s information requests to enable (i) each other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (ii) each other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. Subject to any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, the Party requesting information agrees to reimburse each other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures as may be provided to each other Party from time to time.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, each of the Parties agrees to use (and to cause the other members of its respective Group to use) commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for retention of such Party’s own information, to retain all information in their respective possession or control on the Effective Time in accordance with the policies of YUM as in effect on the Effective Time or such other policies as may be adopted by YUM after the Effective Time (provided, that, in the case of SpinCo or YCCL, that YUM notifies SpinCo of any such change); provided, that in the case of any information relating to Taxes, such retention period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 6.5 of the Tax Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax related records.

6.5 Limitations of Liability. No Party shall have any Liability to any other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Party providing such information. No Party shall have any Liability to any other Party if any information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

(a) The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention, use or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups.

6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) After the Effective Time, except in the case of an adversarial Action or Dispute between YUM and SpinCo, or any other members of their respective Groups, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its Group’s control or which its Group otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any 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 in which the requesting Party (or member of such Party’s Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, each other Party shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its Group’s control or which its Group otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any 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 such defense, settlement or compromise, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, except in the case of an adversarial Action or Dispute between YUM and SpinCo or any other members of their respective Groups, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 6.7 and subject to the terms of the Master License Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each other member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect to any Intellectual Property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or

permit any other member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a Third Party in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim.

(e) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents without regard to whether such person could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).

6.8 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the YUM Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the YUM Group and the SpinCo Group should 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 Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the YUM Group or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) YUM 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 YUM Business and not to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the YUM Group or any member of the SpinCo Group. YUM 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 YUM Specified Actions or to any YUM Liabilities resulting from 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 YUM Group or any member of the SpinCo Group; and

(ii) SpinCo 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 SpinCo Business and not to the YUM Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the SpinCo Group or any member of the YUM Group. SpinCo 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 SpinCo Specified Actions or to any SpinCo Liabilities resulting from 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 SpinCo Group or any member of the YUM Group.

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information,

and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information until such time as it is finally judicially determined that such information is not Privileged Information, unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any Disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the YUM Business, solely to the SpinCo Business, or to both the YUM Business and the SpinCo Business.

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both YUM and SpinCo (or one (1) or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both YUM and SpinCo have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by any Party (or another member of its Group) without the written consent of each other Party.

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

(e) Subject to Section 6.9, in the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between YUM and SpinCo, or any other members of their respective Groups, any Party may waive a privilege in which any other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c); provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action or Dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by any Party, or by any other member of its respective Group, of any 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 another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any other member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any 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 each other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide each other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreements of YUM and the SpinCo Parties set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. 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.

(h) The Parties acknowledge that members of the YUM Group and members of the SpinCo Group may have or develop interests adverse to each other following the Effective Time. Each Party hereby waives (i) any and all current and future objections to any outside counsel that represented YUM or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time from continuing to represent or in the future representing their respective clients or any Party (or any members of such Party’s Group) in any matter, including matters in which members of the YUM Group and members of the SpinCo Group are adverse and Disputes relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) all current and future rights to seek disqualification, whether based on the possession or disclosure of confidential information or otherwise, of any such outside counsel from any representation of their respective clients or any Party (or any members of such Party’s Group) in any matter, including matters in which members of the YUM Group and members of the SpinCo Group are adverse and Disputes relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(i) In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the other members of their respective Groups to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10, any Ancillary Agreement and any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, from and after the Effective Time until the five (5)-year anniversary of the Effective Time, each of YUM and each of the SpinCo Parties shall, and shall cause each other member of its respective Group to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives to, hold in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to YUM’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning each other Party or any other member of such other Party’s respective Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or its or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and not use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a

disclosure by such Party or any other member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any other Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of any other Party or any other member of such Party’s Group, or (iv) determined by YUM, in its reasonable discretion, to be information required to be disclosed pursuant to federal, state or other applicable securities Laws or the rules of any applicable securities exchange, including in YUM’s periodic filings made under the Exchange Act. If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any other member of such Party’s Group is disclosed to any other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any other member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10.

(c) Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of such Party’s Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies and/or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and any other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the Parties, was originally collected by any other Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies, as well as privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Subject to any Ancillary Agreement and any other agreement between the Parties or other members of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its respective Group and its respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy policies and privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among any other Party or members of any other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

6.10 Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any other member of such Party’s Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of any other Party (or any other member of any other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify each other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable

under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at such other Party’s cost and expense, in seeking any appropriate protective order reasonably requested by any other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) so required or receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information will actually prejudice the Party (or member of such Party’s Group) so required or receiving the request or demand (or other member of such Party’s Group), then the Party (or member of such Party’s Group) so required or that received such request or demand (or other member of such Party’s Group) may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) shall promptly provide each other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Subject to Section 7.8, any Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Master License Agreement or the Guaranty) (a “Dispute”) shall provide written notice thereof to each other Party (an “Initial Notice”). For a period of thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by the appropriate executives of each Party who have authority to resolve the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Initial Notice (which period may be extended by written agreement of the Parties) or if a Party reasonably concludes that each other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by this Section 7.1, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 7.2.

7.2 Mandatory Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1 shall, at the written request of any Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to mandatory mediation in accordance with the then current International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure, except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in English in Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. or such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. YUM and SpinCo shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by YUM and SpinCo within twenty (20) days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, then YUM or SpinCo may request (on written notice to each other Party) that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the CPR Mediation Procedure. The costs and expenses of any such mediation, including compensation and expenses of the mediator, shall be borne by YUM and SpinCo, except for any Party’s own legal costs (which are separately addressed in Section 7.7). All mediation pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation

Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding confidential arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.3 Confidential Arbitration.

(a) In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section 7.2, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, at the written request of YUM or SpinCo (the “Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding confidential arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Rules for Administered Arbitration (the “Administered Rules”), except as modified herein. The details of the arbitration shall be as set forth in this Section 7.3.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided (i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $5 million; or (ii) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $5 million or more or involves a request for non-monetary relief.

(c) The panel of three (3) arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, YUM and SpinCo will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that YUM or SpinCo fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then, upon written application by YUM or SpinCo, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Administered Rules. In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the time frame specified above or in the event that YUM or SpinCo fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Administered Rules. If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of YUM and SpinCo within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator during such fifteen (15) day period, then upon written application by YUM or SpinCo, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Administered Rules.

(d) The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Any document that a Party seeks to use that is not in English shall be provided along with an English translation.

(e) The place of arbitration shall be Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.

(f) The arbitrator or arbitrators shall establish procedures under which each Party will be entitled to conduct discovery.

(g) The arbitrator or arbitrators shall award to the substantially prevailing Party (as determined by arbitrator or arbitrators) the costs and expenses of the proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

(h) The arbitrator or arbitrators will issue a reasoned award.

(i) The arbitrator or arbitrators will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which the arbitrator or arbitrators deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date) and injunctive relief (including specific performance and other equitable relief); provided that the arbitrator or arbitrators will not award any relief not specifically requested by a Party and, in any event, will not award any relief not permitted by this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that the award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators (the “Original Award”) may be appealed under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure (“Appeal Procedure”). Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Original Award, in accordance with the Appeal Procedure, by filing a written notice with CPR. The Original Award shall not be considered final until after the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appeal Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the appeal shall be conducted at the place of the original arbitration.

(k) Any Original Award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators that is not timely appealed in accordance with the foregoing provisions or that is not modified by the appeal tribunal, and any award as modified or established by the appeal tribunal, shall be final and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(l) Subject to Section 7.3(g), the costs and expenses of any such arbitration, including compensation and expenses of the arbitrator or arbitrators, shall be borne by YUM and SpinCo equally, except for each Party’s own legal costs (which are separately addressed in Section 7.7).

7.4 Confidentiality. No oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during any negotiation, mediation or arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article VII shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. YUM shall not, and shall cause the other members of its respective Group not to, and the SpinCo Parties shall not, and shall cause the other members of the SpinCo Group not to, disclose any information provided or documents produced by a member of the other Group in any negotiation, mediation or arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article VII or any information about the existence, contents or results of any such negotiation, mediation or arbitration without the prior written consent of YUM (in the case of disclosure by a member of the SpinCo Group) or the SpinCo Parties (in the case of disclosure by a member of the YUM Group), except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or requested by a Governmental Authority. Before it or another member of its respective Group makes any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, each of YUM and SpinCo shall, to the extent

reasonably practicable, give each other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford each other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

7.5 Conduct and Tolling During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Group to, continue to honor all commitments and obligations under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required thereby during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments or obligations are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue. The initiation of mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

7.6 Limitations Period. Any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Master License Agreement or the Guaranty) shall be governed by the statute of limitations under the governing law set forth in Section 10.2.

7.7 Enforcement Costs. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, each Party shall bear its own legal costs (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and all other expenses) incurred in enforcing this Agreement or in otherwise pursuing, or defending against, a claim, demand, action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement.

7.8 Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief from a court with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (b) a Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such Party has submitted a Mediation Request and the other Parties have failed, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, to agree upon a date for the first mediation session to take place within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the mediator.

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

10.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by an arbitrator or 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, void or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect, as closely as possible, the original intent of the Parties.

10.7 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to each other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.

10.8 No Set-Off. Except as expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, no Party and no other member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to another Party or any other member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

The Parties agree that certain specified costs and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties as set forth on Schedule 10.9.

10.10 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.

10.11 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any such obligations contained herein, shall survive the Separation and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect.

10.12 Waivers of Default; Remedies Cumulative. Waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of another Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.13 Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect 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, 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 by each of the Parties.

10.14 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

10.15 Interpretation. In this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of

10.16 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the SpinCo Parties or any other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, nor YUM or any other member of the YUM Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other (other than any such damages awarded to a Third Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim).

10.17 Performance. All obligations of the SpinCo Parties under this Agreement are joint and several obligations of SpinCo and YCCL. YUM shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the YUM Group. The SpinCo Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantee the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the SpinCo Group.
