(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Approved Sale shall be consummated unless (i) the Unilever Stockholder shall have received prior to, or on completion of, such Approved Sale (A) consideration in cash for all the Unilever Shares in an amount equal to the Share Price (as hereinafter defined) for all such Unilever Shares, and (B) consideration in cash for all the Notes held by Unilever Group Members in an amount equal to the Accreted Value of such Notes on the date on which the Approved Sale is consummated, (ii) all the Unilever Shares and all such Notes are sold in connection with such Approved Sale, and (iii) no other Shares are sold in such Approved Sale before all the Unilever Shares and the Notes held by Unilever Group Members are sold; provided, however, that the Unilever Stockholder may, in its sole discretion, waive any of the foregoing requirements.

7.3 Certain Permitted Transfers.

(a) The restriction contained in Section 7.1 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of all or any Class A Shares by any Holdco Stockholder (i) that is previously approved in writing by the Unilever Stockholder, which approval may be granted or withheld in the Unilever Stockholder’s sole discretion (such approval being deemed to be given by virtue of the execution of this Agreement in respect of any Transfer of Class A Shares made pursuant to Section 7.2), (ii) to any other Holdco Group Member of which Holdco has Holdco Required Control, (iii) in an Approved Sale or (iv) pursuant to Section 7.9; provided, that such restriction shall continue to be applicable to the Class A Shares after any such Transfer, the Transferees of such Class A Shares shall have executed an Assumption Agreement and the Transferring Stockholder promptly notifies the Company and the Unilever Stockholder of the names of such Transferees.

(b) The restriction contained in Section 7.1 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of (1) all or any Class B Shares by the Unilever Stockholder (i) that is previously approved in writing by the Holdco Stockholder, which approval may be granted or withheld in the Holdco Stockholder’s sole discretion (such approval being deemed to be given by virtue of the execution of this Agreement in respect of any Transfer of Class B Shares made pursuant to Section 7.2), (ii) to any other Unilever Group Member of which Unilever has Unilever Required Control, (iii) in an Approved Sale, or (iv) pursuant to Section 7.3(f) or (2) all of the Additional Shares to Holdco pursuant to Section 7.9; provided, that such restriction shall continue to be applicable to the Class B Shares after any such Transfer, the Transferees of such Class B Shares shall have executed an Assumption Agreement and the Transferring Stockholder promptly notifies the Company and the Holdco Stockholder of the names of such Transferees.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to such limitations as the non-Transferring Stockholders may reasonably request, the Transfer of Shares by a Stockholder pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) (as the case may be) of this Section 7.3 at any time to a member of such Transferring Stockholder’s Group shall be subject to the Transferring Stockholder entering into an agreement with the other Stockholders providing that so long as such Transferee holds such Transferring Stockholder’s Shares, such Transferee will remain a member of such Transferring Stockholder’s Group. If such Transferee ceases to be such a member, the foregoing Transfer will be deemed, without further action, to have been rescinded.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII, no Transfer of Shares or any other interest in the Company may be made unless in the opinion of counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), such Transfer would not require registration under the Securities Act or any state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or the interest to be Transferred, or cause the Company to be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(e) The Transferor and Transferee of any Shares or other interest in the Company shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with any Transfer or proposed Transfer (other than a Transfer effected pursuant to Section 7.2 or Article VIII), whether or not consummated.

(f) During the Initial Sale Period, the Unilever Stockholder shall be entitled, subject to Sections 7.3(g) and 7.3(h), to effect a Unilever Sale of all, but not less than all, of the Unilever Shares then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members to no more than one Person (the “Relevant Transferee”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but in addition to the rights set forth in Section 8.13; provided that (i) all necessary consents and approvals of Governmental Authorities shall have been obtained (each of the Stockholders and the Company agreeing to use all reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and approvals), (ii) the Holdco Stockholder shall have the right to approve any purchaser of such Unilever Shares which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (iii) such sale would not violate or result in a termination or conversion of the brand license agreement, dated as of May 3, 2002, between S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. and the Company, as amended as of the date hereof (the “Brand License Agreement”), (iv) the Relevant Transferee shall not be an SCJ Competitor (as defined in the Brand License Agreement) (an “SCJ Competitor”) and (v) such Unilever Sale would not constitute a change of control under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any

such proposed Unilever Sale (an “Early Unilever Sale”), the Unilever Stockholder may submit to the Company a list of proposed purchasers, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review such list with S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. for the purpose of obtaining S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc.’s consent to such Early Unilever Sale so as to prevent a termination or conversion of the Brand License Agreement and to notify the Unilever Stockholder in writing whether it or S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. considers that any such purchaser constitutes, at the date of such request, an SCJ Competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the receipt of a Put Notice, the Company shall have acquired more than 50% of the Unilever Shares, the Unilever Stockholder’s right to effect an Early Unilever Sale shall be suspended unless and until the Unilever Stockholder shall have given a subsequent Put Notice applicable to the Remaining Unilever Shares.

(g) From May 3, 2007 through May 2, 2008, prior to commencing an Early Unilever Sale, the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver a notice (a “First Offer Notice”) to the Company stating (i) its bona fide intention to pursue an Early Unilever Sale, (ii) the number of Unilever Shares then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members (the “Noticed Shares”) and (iii) the price per share at which it proposes to sell the Noticed Shares (the “First Offer Price”). For a period of 30 days after receipt of the First Offer Notice, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Noticed Shares at the First Offer Price.

(i) If the Company elects to purchase all the Noticed Shares pursuant to this Section 7.3(g), it shall give written notice of said election to the Unilever Stockholder within the 30-day period following receipt of the First Offer Notice. The closing of the purchase of the Noticed Shares pursuant to this Section 7.3(g) (a “First Offer Sale”) shall take place at the offices of the Company on a date as the Company shall specify by notice to the Unilever Stockholder, which date shall not be later than 90 calendar days after the later to occur of (i) the date the First Offer Notice is received by the Company or (ii) the date on which any consents or approvals necessary for the purchase of the Noticed Shares shall have been obtained (such date, the “First Offer Closing Date”). On the First Offer Closing Date, the Company shall be entitled to receive the representations and warranties from the Unilever Stockholder described in Section 8.7(b). At the First Offer Closing Date, the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver to the Company a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing the number of Noticed Shares then to be purchased by the Company, and the Company shall deliver payment of the First Offer Price for the Noticed Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(ii) If the Company does not elect to purchase the Noticed Shares, or fails to provide written notice of its election to the Unilever Stockholder within the 30-day period following receipt of the First Offer Notice, the Unilever Stockholder may commence an Early Unilever Sale.

(h) If, after compliance with Section 7.3(g), the Unilever Stockholder has commenced an Early Unilever Sale to a Relevant Transferee, the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver a notice (a “ROFR Notice”) to the Company stating (i) its bona fide intention to effect an Early Unilever Sale, (ii) the number of Noticed Shares, (iii) the price per share at which it proposes to sell the Noticed

Shares (the “ROFR Price”) and the terms of payment for such shares, (iv) the name and address of the proposed Relevant Transferee and (v) all other material terms and conditions of sale. For a period of 30 days after receipt of the ROFR Notice, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Noticed Shares. If the Company elects to purchase all the Noticed Shares, it shall give written notice of said election to the Unilever Stockholder within the 30-day period following receipt of the ROFR Notice. The price per share of the Noticed Shares purchased pursuant to this Section 7.3(h) shall be the sum of the ROFR Price and an amount equal to 3.0% of the ROFR Price (the “Premium”); provided that in no event shall the aggregate Premium be less than $10.0 million or more than $15.0 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the date of the ROFR Notice, the Company has purchased more than 50% of the Unilever Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the minimum and maximum limitations applicable to the aggregate Premium under this Section 7.3(h) shall be reduced pro rata based on the relation of the number of Noticed Shares pursuant to the ROFR Notice to the number of Unilever Shares as of the Closing Date. The Premium shall be paid by the Holdco Stockholder. The purchase of the Noticed Shares shall be in all other material respects on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as those set forth in the ROFR Notice. If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Noticed Shares, then none of such Noticed Shares shall be purchased by the Company, and the Unilever Stockholder may sell all, but not less than all, of such Noticed Shares to the Relevant Transferee named in the ROFR Notice at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice, provided that such Early Unilever Sale is consummated within 90 days of the date of the ROFR Notice to the Company (the “Early Unilever Sale Period”). Any purported Early Unilever Sale in violation of Section 7.3(g) or this Section 7.3(h) shall be void and ineffective, and shall not operate to transfer any interest in or title to the Unilever Stockholder’s Class B Shares to the purported Relevant Transferee.

(i) The Company may elect to assign its rights under Sections 7.3(g) and (h) to the Holdco Stockholder and, if so assigned, all references to the Company in such sections shall be to the Holdco Stockholder.

7.4 Stockholders Leaving Groups. A Holdco Stockholder or a Unilever Stockholder shall Transfer, in a manner and to a Transferee permitted by this Agreement, all the Shares held by it before Holdco or Unilever, respectively, ceases to have Required Control of such Stockholder.

7.5 Termination of Restrictions. The restriction set forth in Section 7.1 shall continue with respect to each Share following any Transfer thereof; provided, that such restriction shall terminate on the first to occur of an Approved Sale resulting in the Unilever Group ceasing to hold any Shares or Notes or a Public Offering in respect of which Unilever’s consent, including by way of the Supermajority Approval, has been obtained.

7.6 Void Transfers. Any attempted Transfer by any Stockholder of any Shares or other interest in the Company in contravention of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the Transferee, including a Relevant Transferee, to execute an Assumption Agreement) shall be void and of no effect and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other party. No purported transferee shall have any voting rights or any right to any profits, losses or distributions of the Company.

7.7 Legend. Each certificate representing Shares will bear the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

In addition, during the term of this Agreement, each certificate representing Shares will bear the following legend:

THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 3, 2002, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AND MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CORPORATION. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT.

7.8 Lock-up; Registration Rights. In connection with the Company seeking Supermajority Approval of a Public Offering, the Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees to negotiate in good faith the terms of (a) a customary lock-up agreement with the Company, and (b) a waiver of the Unilever Stockholder’s rights under Section 8.1 in exchange for customary registration rights for the Unilever Shares; provided, however, that the Unilever Stockholder may withhold its approval of such Public Offering and may withhold its agreement to any such lock-up or waiver in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever.

7.9 Transfer of Additional Shares.

(a) On the earlier of (x) May 3, 2010, and (y) the Final Exit Date (such earlier date, the “Additional Shares Exercise Date”), the Unilever Stockholder shall purchase from Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)), and Holdco shall sell to the Unilever Stockholder (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)), that number of Class A Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% percent of the total number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares issued and outstanding as of such date (such number of Additional Shares to be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number) and (ii) the largest whole number of Class A Shares, the aggregate Value of which does not exceed $40,000,000, in either case at a purchase price of $0.01 per Additional Share.

(b) The closing of the purchase of the Additional Shares by the Unilever Stockholder pursuant to Section 7.9(a) shall take place at a mutually agreed upon place on the Additional Shares Exercise Date, or (if required) such later date on which the Share Price per Additional Share as of the Additional Shares Exercise Date shall have been agreed to by the Unilever Stockholder and

Holdco or otherwise determined in accordance with Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 (such later date, the “Additional Shares Closing Date”). At closing, Holdco shall represent and warrant to Unilever as to the matters set forth in Section 8.7(b) (with the “Unilever Stockholder,” “Unilever Group Members” and “Subject Securities” being, for the purposes of such representations and warranties, Holdco, the Holdco Group Members and the Additional Shares, respectively). At closing, Holdco shall deliver to the Unilever Stockholder (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing the number of Additional Shares against payment therefor by the Unilever Stockholder.

(c) The Unilever Stockholder shall require Holdco to purchase (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) from the Unilever Stockholder all, but not less than all, of the Additional Shares on the Additional Shares Exercise Date or, if applicable, the Additional Shares Closing Date. The aggregate purchase price (the “Additional Shares Purchase Price”) of the Additional Shares purchased by Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) shall be equal to the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares.

(d) The closing of the purchase of the Additional Shares by Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) pursuant to Section 7.3(c), shall take place at a mutually agreed upon place and on the Additional Shares Exercise Date or, if applicable, the Additional Shares Closing Date. At closing, Holdco shall be entitled to receive the representations and warranties from the Unilever Stockholder described in Sections 8.7(b)(iii),(iv) and (v). At closing, the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver to Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing all of the Additional Shares against payment of the Additional Shares Purchase Price and any additional payment required pursuant to Sections 7.9(e) and (f) by Holdco in immediately available funds.

(e) If the Additional Shares Purchase Price is less than $20,000,000, Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) shall make a cash payment to the Unilever Stockholder equal to the difference between $20,000,000 and the Additional Shares Purchase Price (an “Additional Floor Payment”).

(f) If the number of Additional Shares was determined by rounding down to the nearest whole number pursuant to Section 7.9(a)(i), Holdco (in accordance with Section 7.9(h)) shall make a cash payment to the Unilever Stockholder equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares if no such rounding had occurred and (ii) the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares (an “Additional Rounding Payment” and, together with an Additional Floor Payment, the “Additional Payments”).

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, save as set forth in Section 7.9(h), the obligations to transfer Additional Shares pursuant to Section 7.9(a) and to repurchase Additional Shares pursuant to Section 7.9(c) are obligations solely of Holdco. Save as set forth in Section 7.9(h), no Company Group Member shall be required to make any payments or have any obligations with respect to the Additional Shares.

(h) The transfer of the Additional Shares and payment of any Additional Payments pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be structured as a transfer and payment through the Company to the Unilever Stockholder, with a simultaneous capital contribution by Holdco (the “Primary Structure”), provided that (i) the Primary Structure shall be economically neutral to the Company, shall not create any liability or obligation of the Company not backed by an equal liability or obligation of Holdco to the Company and shall not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach or event of default under, the Financing Agreements, and (ii) the Primary Structure shall be structured, if possible, to be economically neutral to Holdco, but in no event shall the Primary Structure be effected if it would (x) create any liability or obligation of Holdco in excess of 133% of the sum of (1) the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares and (2) any Additional Payments required by this Section 7.9, and (y) deliver to the Unilever Stockholder net after-tax proceeds of less than the sum of (1) the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares and (2) any Additional Payments required by this Section 7.9 (collectively, the “Alternative Structure Conditions”). If the Primary Structure cannot be effected in accordance with the Alternative Structure Conditions, the Unilever Stockholder, Holdco and the Company shall discuss, in good faith, alternative structures to effect the transfer of the Additional Shares pursuant to this Section so as to optimize tax efficiencies (the “Secondary Structures”), provided that any Secondary Structures must satisfy the Alternative Structure Conditions. If the Primary Structure does not satisfy, and the Unilever Stockholder, Holdco and the Company cannot agree on a Secondary Structure that satisfies, the Alternative Structure Conditions, Holdco shall effect the transfer of the Additional Shares in accordance with Sections 7.9 (a) to (g) and the payment of any Additional Payments in accordance with Sections 7(e) and (f) directly to the Unilever Stockholder and not through the Company, and Holdco shall also reimburse the Unilever Stockholder for the Unilever Stockholder’s tax costs associated with such transfer of the Additional Shares and payment of any Additional Payments in an amount not to exceed 33% of the sum of (1) the aggregate Value of the Additional Shares and (2) any Additional Payments required by this Section 7.9.

8.2 Put Price.

(a) The purchase price (i) for Unilever Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be equal to the total of (A) the Fair Market Value of such Shares, plus (B) any accrued interest and adjustments pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 8.2 (collectively, the “Share Price”), and (ii) for Put Notes shall be equal to the Accreted Value thereof on the applicable Put Closing Date, without any payment of premium or penalty, including any premium or penalty that may be provided for in the Put Notes or the Note Indenture (collectively with the Share Price, but subject to subsection (b) of this Section 8.2, the “Put Price”).

(b) If the aggregate Share Price for (x) any Unilever Shares to be purchased on any date after a Put Closing Date or Call Closing Date, as the case may be, or (y) all the Unilever Shares (the Unilever Shares referred to in clause (x) or (y) above in either case being the “Remaining Unilever Shares”) is, in either case, fixed in accordance with Section 8.4(d), 8.5(a), 8.5(b) or 8.13(b)(i), then the Share Price of such Shares (i) shall be equal to (A) with respect to the Remaining Unilever Shares referred to in clause (x) above, the Share Price applicable to the Unilever Shares purchased on such Put Closing Date or Call Closing Date, as the case may be, and (B) with respect to the Remaining Unilever Shares referred to in clause (y) above, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares based on a deemed Base Value of eight times the Applicable EBITDA pursuant to Section 8.5(b) or the Share Price applicable to the Unilever Shares that the Company has failed to purchase by the Eighth Year, as the case may be, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B) on the basis of the number of such Remaining Unilever Shares and the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (on a Fully-Diluted basis) on the date the Initial Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be, is given, and (ii) shall be increased by an amount equal to (X) interest on such amount at the Applicable Rate as of the date on which such amount is fixed (the “Fixed Price Date”) accruing from (and including) the Fixed Price Date to (but excluding) the date on which the Share Price is paid by the Company (whether in cash or with the Exit Note) for the Remaining Unilever Shares; provided, however, no interest shall accrue or be payable with respect to that portion of the Share Price attributable to clause (a)(iv) in the definition of Fair Market Value, minus (Y) the sum of (1) the value of any dividends or distributions paid on, or with respect to, the Remaining Unilever Shares with a record date after the Fixed Price Date and through and including the date on which the Remaining Unilever Shares are purchased by the Company, and (2) subject to the proviso to the definition of “Repurchase Expenses” herein, the Unilever Stockholder’s pro rata share of all Repurchase Expenses (measured by the Unilever Stockholder’s Ownership Interest at the time such Repurchase Expenses are incurred) incurred after the Fixed Price Date and through and including the date on which the Remaining Unilever Shares are purchased by the Company. The interest referred to in clause (X) above shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days for which interest is due.

8.3 Put Closing. Subject to Section 8.4, the closing of the purchase of Put Securities or Partially Put Securities (the “Put Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company on a date as the Company shall specify by notice to the Unilever Stockholder, which date shall be as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the applicable Put Notice and in any event not later than (a) 90 calendar days after the later to occur of (i) the date such Put Notice or the Partial Put Notice (as the case may be) is received by the Company, (ii) the date on which the Fair Market Value of the Put Shares shall have been agreed to by the Unilever Stockholder and the Company or otherwise determined pursuant to Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11, (iii) the date on which any consents or approvals

On the Put Closing Date, the Company shall be entitled to receive the representations and warranties from the Unilever Stockholder described in Section 8.7(b). At the Put Closing, (x) on a Put Closing Date prior to the Eighth Year and, subject to clause (y) below, on a Put Closing Date after the Eighth Year, (i) the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver to the Company, (A) with respect to Put Shares, a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing the number of Put Shares then to be purchased by the Company, and (B) with respect to Put Notes, the original of the Note and instruments of transfer complying with the Note Indenture evidencing the amount of the Note to be repurchased by the Company, in exchange for (ii) payment of the Put Price for such Put Securities or Partially Put Securities to the Unilever Stockholder, including any accrued interest and adjustments pursuant to Section 8.2(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (y) on a Put Closing Date after the Eighth Year where the conditions set forth in Sections 8.4(a)(ii) shall not have been satisfied (an “Eighth Year Put Closing Date”), the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver to the Company a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing all the Unilever Shares, in exchange for payment of the Share Price for such Unilever Shares to the Unilever Stockholder, including any accrued interest and adjustments pursuant to Section 8.2(b), by delivery of the Exit Note; provided, however, that the Unilever Stockholder may elect, by written notice given no later than five Business days prior to the Eighth Year Put Closing Date, to retain such Unilever Shares in lieu of the Exit Note.

8.4 Termination and Limitations of Put Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this or any other agreement, the right of the Unilever Stockholder to sell and the obligation of the Company to purchase the Put Securities to the Company pursuant to Section 8.1 (i) on a Put Closing Date prior to the Eighth Year, shall be subject to and conditional upon consummation by the Company of a Refinancing, and (ii) for cash on the Eighth Year Put Closing Date, shall be subject to and conditional upon (A) consummation by the Company of a Refinancing or an Eighth Year Action, and (B) such sale and purchase not violating, constituting a breach of, or causing an event of default under (or an event that, after notice or passage of time or both, would constitute such a violation, breach or event of default) the Financing Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of the Exit Note in accordance with Section 8.3 shall not be subject to any of the conditions set out in this Section 8.4.

(b) The Company’s obligation to purchase Put Securities or any Partially Put Securities under Sections 8.1 and 8.3 shall be suspended so long as, and to the extent that, immediately after giving effect to such purchase, the Company would violate any provision of the DGCL; provided, however, that such obligation shall revive immediately after the condition referred to in this subsection (b) no longer exists. The Company shall (i) take such steps in accordance with the DGCL, including Sections 160 and 172 thereof, as are necessary to determine whether any such purchase would violate any provision of the DGCL, including instructing its independent auditors to prepare such calculations and financial reports as may be necessary for the Board to make such determination,

and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts prior to the Seventh Year and best efforts after the Seventh Year to structure any Refinancing to avoid any such violation; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to issue Common Stock or other equity securities or Common Stock Equivalents to any Person in connection with any Refinancing.

(c) Following the receipt of a Put Notice, the Company shall (i) prior to the Seventh Year, use its reasonable best efforts to consummate a Refinancing (to be consummated on the applicable Put Closing Date), including providing all information concerning itself (and confirmation of the accuracy of such information) reasonably required in connection therewith, and (ii) after the Seventh Year, use its best efforts to consummate such a Refinancing and to take Eighth Year Actions in accordance with Section 8.13. If after receiving a Put Notice at any time prior to the Eighth Year and after having used such efforts, the Company shall not have consummated a Refinancing which will yield Net Proceeds of more than 50% of the Put Price by the 120th calendar day following receipt by the Company of the Initial Unilever Proposals (or the date by which the Unilever Stockholder is required to deliver the Initial Unilever Proposals pursuant to Section 8.9) (the “Refinancing Period”), the Initial Put Notice shall terminate and the right to exercise the Put Option shall be suspended for the period commencing on the last day of the Refinancing Period and ending after the earlier of the first anniversary of the date on which the Initial Put Notice was given or the Eighth Year, at which time the Unilever Stockholder shall have the right to give a new Put Notice; provided, however, that if the Refinancing Period would expire prior to the date on which Fair Market Value shall have been determined pursuant to Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11, the Refinancing Period shall be extended until such date.

(d) If the Company can arrange for a Refinancing which will yield Net Proceeds of more than 50% but less than 100% of the Put Price within the Refinancing Period, (i) the Unilever Stockholder shall designate, by written notice given to the Company (the “Partial Put Notice”) within five Business Days of receipt by the Unilever Stockholder of notice of such arrangements, the Partially Put Securities, including its election in respect of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Partially Put Securities,” (ii) the Company shall be required to purchase only the Partially Put Securities as so elected, (iii) the Initial Put Notice shall terminate and the right to exercise the Put Option shall be suspended with respect to the Put Securities other than the Partially Put Securities (the “Remaining Put Securities”) for the period commencing on the Put Closing Date on which such Partially Put Securities are purchased and ending on the earlier of the date falling 18 months after such Put Closing Date or the Eighth Year, at which time a new Put Notice shall be deemed to have been given in respect of all of the Remaining Put Securities, and the Company shall renew its efforts to arrange a Refinancing, and (iv) the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall apply to the Remaining Put Securities, and the Put Price in relation to the Remaining Put Securities shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company consummates a Refinancing which will yield less than 100% of the Put Price following the exercise of a Put Option, (x) Unilever may elect, by written notice to the Company given on or prior to the applicable Put Closing Date, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining Unilever Shares as of such Put Closing Date, and (y) the Unilever Stockholder shall not be required to sell Put Shares pursuant to this subsection (d) to the extent that, as a result of such sale, the Unilever Stockholder’s Ownership Interest would be reduced below 10% without its consent; provided, however, that if the Partially Put Securities include Put Shares and Put Notes, the Company shall not be required to purchase such Shares and Notes in relative amounts other than as described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Partially Put Securities” herein.

(e) Each giving or deemed giving of a Put Notice to the Company pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 8.4 shall be deemed a separate exercise by the Unilever Stockholder of its Put Option and shall cause the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and this Section 8.4 to apply, mutatis mutandi, to such exercise, as if such Put Notice was the Initial Put Notice given hereunder.

(f) If the Company purchases less than all the Put Securities pursuant to this Section 8.4 or Section 8.13(a), the Company shall, in good faith, consider possible alternatives regarding the purchase of the Remaining Put Securities and, at the Unilever Stockholder’s reasonable request, meet in good faith with the Unilever Stockholder from time to time to discuss such alternatives; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to, and in its sole discretion may elect not to, pursue any such alternatives, and no such meetings or discussions shall be binding in any respect.

(g) On the maturity date of the Exit Note, the right of the Unilever Stockholder to exercise the Put Option pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to Notes beneficially owned by any Unilever Group Member and, to the extent it relates to Put Notes, any outstanding Put Notice shall terminate.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Holdco Group Member shall be required to make any additional contribution or pay any assessment or other amount to the Company to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Article VIII.

8.5 Call Right.

(a) At any time after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right (the “Call Option”) exercisable by giving written notice to the Unilever Stockholder (the “Call Notice”) to purchase from the Unilever Stockholder, at a price equal to the Put Price, at least 50% of the Unilever Shares then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members (the “Call Shares”) and at least 50% of the aggregate Accreted Value of all the Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members (the “Call Notes” and, together with the Call Shares, the “Call Securities”); provided, however, that no Call Notice shall be effective unless it is given during the Notice Period; provided, further, that the relative percentages of such Unilever Shares represented by such Call Shares and of such aggregate Accreted Value represented by such Call Notes (measuring the Call Notes on the basis of their Accreted Value), respectively, shall be as near to equal as possible. The Call Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, and from time to time more than once. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company exercises its Call Option with respect to less than 100% of the Unilever Shares and Notes, in each case then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members, (x) the Unilever Stockholder may designate, by written notice to the Company given within five Business Days of receipt by the Unilever Stockholder of the Call Notice, whether the Call Securities (A) comprise the Call Shares and Call Notes specified in the Call Notice, or (B) comprise solely Call Shares with an aggregate Share Price, subject to clause (z) below, equal to the aggregate Put Price of the Call Shares and Call

Notes specified in the Call Notice, (y) the Unilever Stockholder may elect, by written notice to the Company given on or prior to the applicable Call Closing Date, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining Unilever Shares as of such Call Closing Date, and (z) the Unilever Stockholder shall not be required to sell Call Shares pursuant to this Section 8.5 to the extent that, as a result of such sale, the Unilever Stockholder’s Ownership Interest would be reduced below 10% without its consent; provided, however, that if the Call Securities, as designated by the Unilever Stockholder, include Call Shares and Call Notes, the Company shall not be required to purchase such Shares and Notes in relative amounts other than as described in last proviso to the first sentence of this Section 8.5.

(b) The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate a Call Notice and any obligation it may have to purchase Call Securities pursuant to this Agreement by written notice to the Unilever Stockholder and shall not be liable for failing to purchase Call Securities on or prior to the Call Closing Date, and, if the Company does not terminate a Call Notice but fails, for any reason, to consummate the Call Option on or prior to the Call Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 8.6, then such Call Notice will be deemed to have been terminated on such date; provided, however, that the Unilever Stockholder may elect, by written notice to the Company given no later than ten Business Days after the date on which the Applicable EBITDA shall have been determined pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10, to fix the aggregate Share Price for the Remaining Unilever Shares, at an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares based upon a deemed Base Value of eight times the Applicable EBITDA, as of the Call Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 8.6.

8.6 Call Closing. Subject to Section 8.5(b), the closing of the purchase of the Call Securities pursuant to a Call Option shall take place at the offices of the Company on a date as the Company shall specify in the applicable Call Notice not more than (a) 90 calendar days after the later to occur of (i) the date the Call Notice is received by the Unilever Stockholder, (ii) the date on which the Fair Market Value shall have been agreed to by the Unilever Stockholder and the Company or otherwise determined pursuant to Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11, (iii) the date on which any consents or approvals of governmental authorities necessary for the purchase of the Call Securities shall have been obtained, or (iv) the date on which the Contingent Payment Amount shall have been determined pursuant to Section 2 of Exhibit 9, if applicable, or (b) the last day of the Refinancing Period (such date, the “Call Closing Date”). On the Call Closing Date, the Company shall be entitled to receive the representations and warranties from the Unilever Stockholder described in Section 8.7(b). At the closing, the Unilever Stockholder shall deliver to the Company (x) with respect to Call Shares, a certificate or certificates (properly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers or similar appropriate documentation of authority to transfer) evidencing the number of Call Shares then to be purchased by the Company, and (y) with respect to Call Notes, the original of the Note and instruments of transfer complying with the Note Indenture evidencing the amount of the Note to be repurchased by the Company, in exchange for payment of the Put Price for the Call Securities subject to the Call Option to the Unilever Stockholder, including any accrued interest and adjustments pursuant to Section 8.2(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

8.7 Purchase Terms. The purchase and sale of Subject Securities shall be on the following terms:

8.9 Determination of Fair Market Value.

(a) If the Unilever Stockholder exercises its Put Option pursuant to Section 8.1 or the Company exercises its Call Option pursuant to Section 8.5 or in the case of an Approved Sale in accordance with Section 7.2, the Unilever Stockholder shall have twenty Business Days from the date of the Put Notice, in the case of an exercise of a Put Option, and thirty Business Days from the date of the Call Notice or Approved Sale Notice Date (as the case may be), in which to propose (i) a Base Value (such proposal, the “Initial Valuation Proposal”), which shall be accompanied by a report and analysis of the Unilever Stockholder’s financial advisor (the “Unilever Valuation Report”) supporting the Initial Valuation Proposal, prepared in accordance with the Valuation Principles, and (ii) the Applicable EBITDA (such proposal, the “Initial EBITDA Proposal” and, together with the Initial Valuation Proposal, the “Initial Unilever Proposals”). The Company shall, during such periods, provide access to the Unilever Stockholder, at the Unilever Stockholder’s cost, to the information described in Section 8.12 as is reasonably requested by the Unilever Stockholder in connection with the preparation of the Initial Unilever Proposals and the Unilever Valuation Report (which documentation shall be considered nonpublic information for purposes of Section 6.4). The Initial Unilever Proposals shall be in writing, shall be submitted to the Company within the periods referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8.9 and shall specify the facts and circumstances supporting the reasonableness and propriety of the Initial Valuation Proposal and the Initial EBITDA Proposal under the Valuation Principles and Exhibit 4, respectively.

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

(c) The Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall use their respective best efforts for 30 Business Days after the timely submission of the Initial Unilever Proposals or the expiration of the periods described in Section 8.9(a), as the case may be, to agree upon the Base Value and/or the Applicable EBITDA, as the case may be.

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

8.11 Expert Determination of Base Value.

(a) Subject to Section 8.9(b), if the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall not have agreed on the Base Value within the periods described in Section 8.9(c), then the Financial Advisors shall use their best efforts for an additional 30 Business Days to agree upon the Base Value.

(i) the closing of the sale and purchase of such Put Shares or Call Shares under Section 8.3 or 8.6, respectively, shall be conditional upon obtaining such consents and approvals; and

(ii) (A) prior to the Eighth Year, the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts to obtain the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary for the purchase of the Subject Securities as referred to in Section 8.3(a)(iii) and 8.6(a)(iii), including taking such measures as shall be reasonably required, having regard to the interests of the Business, to obtain such consents and approvals, and (B) from and after the Eighth Year, the Company shall use its best efforts to structure the purchase by it of the Put Shares or Call Shares so as to facilitate, or avoid the necessity of, obtaining such consents and approvals, and the Unilever Stockholder will cooperate with and assist the Company in such efforts.

(b) If, by the Eighth Year, the Company shall have failed to purchase the Put Securities or the Call Securities for cash pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(ii) or otherwise pursuant to Section 7.3(g) or (h):

(i) if the Share Price has not previously been fixed pursuant to Section 8.4(d), 8.5(a) or 8.5(b), the aggregate Share Price as determined in accordance with Sections 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 for the Remaining Unilever Shares (such determination to be made on the next applicable exercise of the Put Option or Call Option) shall be fixed as of the Eighth Year; and

(ii) the Unilever Stockholder’s sole and exclusive remedies (other than remedies for breach of the provisions of this Agreement) shall be, subject in each case to Sections 8.13(c) and 10.17, and without derogation of the Unilever Stockholder’s rights under the Exit Note and, subject to Section 10.16(b), the Note, to elect to:

purchaser of such Shares which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (2) any sale of such Shares shall be made free of the restrictions under Article VII; provided, further, that in connection with any proposed Unilever Sale the Holdco Stockholder shall review, at the Unilever Stockholder’s reasonable request, a list of proposed purchasers and designate which such purchasers it approves and shall otherwise cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with such Unilever Sale, including by preparing preliminary and final offering memoranda, assisting the Unilever Stockholder in the preparation of a confidential information package for delivery to approved potential purchasers, participating in investors’ meetings, conferences and telephone calls, providing information and projections prepared by the Company or its advisors, and allowing reasonable access to such purchasers to conduct due diligence, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings;

(C) cause the Company to arrange for the sale of part or all of (1) the Company’s Japanese business, divisions, assets or Subsidiaries (including through the public sale of securities) (the “Japan Business”), and/or (2) Polymer or its assets or Subsidiaries (the “Polymer Business”), and/or (3) if the Polymer Business is sold (in whole or in part) prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, such other business or division, or businesses or divisions, of the Company, or their assets or Subsidiaries, the identity of which shall be determined by the Company in accordance with Section 8.13(e) (each a “Subsidiary Sale” and, together with a Unilever Sale and a Private Placement, the “Eighth Year Actions”);

in each case as shall be necessary to yield Net Proceeds sufficient to pay the Share Price. Subject to subsection (d) of this Section 8.13, upon the Unilever Stockholder making any such election(s) (which shall be communicated to the Company by written notice), the Company shall use its best efforts to consummate such Eighth Year Actions no later than the maturity date of the Exit Note and shall, and shall be entitled to, take all reasonable steps on its part as are necessary to carry out such Eighth Year Actions, including structuring such Eighth Year Actions to avoid any violation of the DGCL. It is expressly agreed and understood that any and all other remedies (other than remedies described in this Section 8.13 and remedies for breach of the provisions of this Agreement), whether arising by this Agreement, any other agreement or operation of law, and whether at law or in equity (other than the Unilever Stockholder’s remedy of enforcing the Exit Note and, subject to subsection (d) of this Section 8.13 and Section 10.16(b), the Note), are hereby expressly waived by Unilever and each other Unilever Stockholder.

to pay or prepay amounts owing under the Exit Note. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Proceeds of any sales of Unilever Shares pursuant to Unilever Sales and/or Private Placements shall belong to the Unilever Stockholder.

(d) Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the undertaking and agreements of the Company in this Section 8.13 (other than undertakings and agreements relating to sales of Unilever Shares), including without limitation, any Additional Divestiture, are subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreements, including restrictions on the sale of assets, restrictions on liens, sale of equity, repurchase of Shares and the requirement to apply the proceeds of certain sales of capital stock and assets to the reduction of Indebtedness, and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder, and to the exercise thereof by such lenders, noteholders and holders with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and that no right or remedy provided in this Section 8.13 or any provision of this Section 8.13 (other than undertakings and agreements relating to sales of Unilever Shares) shall not be exercised or enforced unless and until such exercise or enforcement shall not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of any of the Financing Agreements.

(e) After May 3, 2009 and prior to May 3, 2010, the Company, through a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors comprised solely of Independent Directors (the “Special Committee”), shall identify (the “Additional Divestiture Identification”) one or more businesses or divisions of the Company or their assets or Subsidiaries (other than the Japan Business and the Polymer Business), which, if sold, would yield Net Proceeds sufficient to enable the Company to pay the Put Price for the Put Securities in connection with a previously exercised Put Option, taking into account the anticipated Net Proceeds that can reasonably be expected from the disposal of the Japan Business (“Additional Divestiture”). The Special Committee shall engage an investment banking firm of national standing to assist with such Additional Divestiture Identification and shall undertake its evaluation and make its recommendations in good faith, taking into account such factors as it shall deem appropriate in its business judgment. Without prejudice to any liability of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, no director of the Company shall have any liability to the Unilever Stockholder or any Relevant Transferee for any acts or omissions taken or failed to be taken in connection with or related to an Additional Divestiture or the Additional Divestiture Identification.

8.14 Priority of Put and Call Rights. Following the delivery of a Call Notice by the Company, the Unilever Stockholder’s right to exercise the Put Option or to effect a Unilever Sale, including an Early Unilever Sale, with respect to the Unilever Shares and Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members shall be suspended from the end of the Notice Period during which such Call Notice was delivered until after the earlier of the date on which such Call Notice is terminated pursuant to Section 8.5(b) or the date immediately following the delivery by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or (c) of financial statements for a period that includes the applicable Call Closing Date, as the case may be. Following the delivery of a Put Notice, a First Offer Notice or a ROFR Notice by the Unilever Stockholder, the Company’s right to exercise the Call Option with respect to the Put Securities subject to the Put Option or the Noticed Shares subject to the First Offer Notice or ROFR Notice, as the case may be, shall be suspended until (1) in the case of a Put Notice, after the earlier of the date on which such Put Notice is terminated pursuant to Section 8.4(c) or the date

immediately following the delivery by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or (c) of financial statements for a period that includes the applicable Put Closing Date, as the case may be, or (2) in the case of a First Offer Notice or ROFR Notice, the termination of the Early Unilever Sale Period.

8.15 Exit Planning. After the fourth, but prior to the fifth, anniversary of the Closing Date, at the Unilever Stockholder’s reasonable request, the Company and the Unilever Stockholder shall meet in good faith from time to time to discuss possible exit strategies with respect to the sale or repurchase of the Unilever Shares and the Notes then beneficially owned by the Unilever Group Members; provided, however, that no such meetings or discussions shall be binding in any respect.

8.16 Unilever Brands Adjustment. The Unilever Brands Adjustment shall be subtracted from the Net Debt Amount applicable to the Share Price payable on the first Put Closing Date or Call Closing Date, as the case may be, following the date of this Agreement. The Unilever Brands Adjustment shall not be taken into account more than once. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s liability or obligation to subtract the Unilever Brands Adjustment from the Net Debt Amount, if any, shall not be deemed to be Indebtedness.

8.17 Contingent Payments. The Unilever Stockholder shall have the right to receive the Contingent Payments, if any, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth on Exhibit 9 in recognition of its period of ownership of the Class B Shares.

ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE X

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Charter Documents or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreements and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Stockholders and their Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

10.4 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations under this Agreement is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any other Person or to declare any other Person in default in the performance of such other Person’s obligations under this Agreement, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute–of–limitations period has run.

10.5 Amendment, Modification or Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived from time to time only by a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and all of the Stockholders, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that the Board may amend and modify Schedule A to the extent necessary to reflect the Transfer of Shares and Exhibit B to the extent necessary to reflect the adoption of a New Material Benefit Plan, in each case as permitted in accordance with this Agreement.

10.6 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Stockholders and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives. Neither Stockholder nor any member of its Group may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part otherwise than pursuant to a Transfer of Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, each party hereto may assign as collateral security all of its rights under this Agreement to any secured creditor of such assigning party, and each party hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to such assignment.

10.7 Specific Performance. The parties agree that any breach by any of them of any provision of this Agreement would irreparably injure the Company and the other Stockholders, as the case may be, and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties agree that the other parties will be entitled to one or more injunctions enjoining any such breach and requiring specific performance of this Agreement and consent to the entry thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such other parties are entitled at law or in equity.

10.8 Governing Law; Severability. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law, rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10.9 Notice to Stockholders of Provisions. By executing this Agreement or an Assumption Agreement, each Stockholder acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Article VII) and (b) all of the provisions of the Charter Documents.

10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

10.11 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Each party agrees that it will not initiate any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than (i) the Delaware Chancery Court or (ii) if the Delaware Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such action, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware or a Delaware state court. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware over any such suit, action or proceeding and agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Each party hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to such party at its address set forth on Schedule A or in Section 10.2, as the case may be, shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Unilever Stockholder also appoints and agrees to maintain The Corporation Trust Company, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Corporation Trust Center, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 as its agent in the State of Delaware for service of process in connection with any dispute or proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction such party is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment, including, with respect to Unilever, the Dutch and English courts, and, with respect to Holdco, state or federal courts in the State of Wisconsin.

10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE STOCKHOLDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDERS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE STOCKHOLDERS ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF ANY OF THE OTHER PARTIES. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL

OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE STOCKHOLDERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE STOCKHOLDERS FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS OR HIS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS OR HIS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION COMPLETED HEREBY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.13 Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the Stockholders and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including the Relevant Transferee to whom the Unilever Stockholder has transferred Class B Shares pursuant to Section 7.3(f), nor shall anything in this Agreement relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any other Person to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any other Person any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement. If Class B Shares are transferred to any Relevant Transferee, such Relevant Transferee shall execute an Assumption Agreement and shall be considered to be a Permitted Transferee of the Unilever Stockholder and each Stockholder agrees that any such Relevant Transferee shall have all rights which the Unilever Stockholder has under this Agreement and the Certificate and the Bylaws and that for purposes of this Agreement with effect from the time such transfer is effected references to Unilever, Unilever NV or Unilever PLC (including references to Unilever, Unilever NV or Unilever PLC in other defined terms) shall be replaced by references to the ultimate controller of the Relevant Transferee at the time the Class B Shares are transferred to the Relevant Transferee, and the Relevant Transferee shall be considered to be a Stockholder for the purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will not terminate pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and the restrictions in Section 7.1 shall not terminate as described in Section 7.5, in each case, as a result of such transfer. Following such transfer, the Relevant Transferee shall be considered to be the “Stockholder that nominated” any director who was nominated by any Unilever Group Member for the purposes of Section 4.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Early Unilever Sale, the provisions of Section 7.3(f) of this Agreement shall not apply to the Relevant Transferee as if such Relevant Transferee was the Unilever Stockholder.

10.14 Fees and Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay all of its own fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, investment bankers or other representatives and consultants) in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise specified herein or in another Transaction Document.

10.15 No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the parties under this Agreement shall constitute a partnership, association or other cooperative entity between any of the parties or constitute any party the agent of any other party, including the Company, for any purpose.

10.16 Supremacy.

(a) If any of the provisions of this Agreement conflict with any of the provisions of the Charter Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail as between the Stockholders. The Stockholders shall:

(i) exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to them to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement; and

(ii) if necessary, and subject to Applicable Law, ensure that any required amendment is made to the Charter Documents of the Company to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

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

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

that the payment by the Company of such Put Price shall not be made until and unless permitted by the provisions of the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder; provided, further, that if the Company does not pay such amount at such time but for the provision of the immediately preceding proviso, interest shall accrue on such amount at the Applicable Rate from such time until the date of payment.

10.18 Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not become effective and binding until, and shall be effective and binding immediately upon, the execution of the MLA, the Restated MSA and the Umbrella Agreement by and among Unilever PLC, Unilever NV and CMI. If any of such agreements are not executed by any of Unilever PLC, Unilever NV and CMI, this Agreement shall not become effective and the provisions of the original Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2006, by and among the Company and the Stockholders shall remain in full force and effect.

* * * * *

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Stockholders and the Company have executed this Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. prior to May 3, 2002 ((i) and (ii) collectively, “Professional Separation Acquisitions”). The agreement for Professional Separation Acquisitions will be no less favorable to the Company than the form of Transfer and Assumption Agreement attached hereto as Attachment 1. The Territorial License Agreement (item 51 of this Part A) will be amended to delete the countries subject to the Professional Separation Acquisitions from the scope of the license granted to S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc.

Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. prior to May 3, 2002 ((i) and (ii) collectively, “Polymer Separation Acquisitions,” and together with the Professional Separation Acquisitions, the “Separation Acquisitions”). The agreement for Polymer Separation Acquisitions will be no less favorable to the Company than the

form of Transfer and Assumption Agreement attached hereto as Attachment 1. Any licenses permitting S.C. Xxxxxxx & Son, Inc. to use Polymer trademarks in South Africa would be terminated. This will also result in a modification of the Technology and Disclosure License Agreement (item 50 of this Part A) eliminating S.C.

9. Employees.

a. The parties have agreed that the employees employed by Transferor whose names are included on Schedule D and who work in the Business on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Day Preceding”) (collectively the “Transferred Employees”) will be transferred with the Business. If it is determined after the Closing Date that a Transferred Employee was not included in Schedule D but should have been included, such Transferred Employee will be added to Schedule D. Transferor will employ the Transferred Employees until the close of business on the Day Preceding. Transferee will employ, effective as 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, the Transferred Employees on terms and conditions of employment which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided to such Transferred Employees by Transferor. To the extent necessary to fully implement

the requirements of this Section 9, Transferee shall recognize and grant to all of the Transferred Employees service credits for the entire period that the Transferred Employees were employed by Transferor. The business records of Transferor shall conclusively determine such periods of employment with Transferor. Transferee warrants and represents that it will continue to recognize and grant the Transferred Employees such employment service credits throughout the entire period of time that such Transferred Employees are employed by Transferee. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement will require Transferee to retain any Transferred Employees for any minimum period of employment; provided, however, Transferee shall be fully responsible for any costs or liabilities associated or arising out of any termination or limitation of employment of any Transferred Employee.

b. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Section 9, Transferor shall bear and discharge all obligations and liabilities accrued and due and owing up to the Day Preceding respecting the Transferred Employees including wages, salary, (excluding any form of deferred compensation or payment) and any employee benefits owed to the Transferred Employees which have accrued and were due and owing on the Day Preceding. Transferor shall not pay or provide any severance pay, termination pay, notice of termination of employment or pay in lieu of such notice to any of the Transferred Employees relating to the transfer contemplated by this Agreement. Except for the obligations agreed to be discharged by Transferor above in this Section 9(b), Transferee will assume, bear and discharge all obligations and liabilities, including without limitation, any and all claims made after the Closing Date in respect of all employee benefits, retiree benefits, deferred compensation, deferred payments, employee bonuses and incentives, separation pay, notice of termination of employment, pay in lieu of such notice, damages for wrongful dismissal, workers’ compensation benefits, and unemployment compensation of the Transferred Employees, regardless if such claims are based on facts arising before, on or after the Closing Date or arising out of employment with Transferor or Transferee. Transferor and Transferee agree that the Transferred Employees shall not receive such employee and other benefits (or substantially similar employee or other benefits) from both Transferor and Transferee and that such employee benefits will only be paid or provided to such Transferred Employee once.

c. All items in respect of the Transferred Employees that require adjustment to property reflect the obligations retained by Transferor and assumed by Transferee pursuant to this Section 9, including without limitation, accrued wages, salaries and commissions and employee benefit plan payments and premiums, will be appropriately adjusted to the Day Preceding. To the extent that Transferor makes any payments to, or on behalf of, Transferee on account of such adjustments, Transferee agrees to reimburse Transferor and to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Transferor from and against all claims in connection therewith. To the extent that Transferee makes any payments to, or on behalf of, Transferor on account of such adjustments, Transferor agrees to reimburse Transferee and to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Transferee from and against all claims in connection therewith.

d. Effective on the Closing Date (which phrase shall mean 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date), except as may be otherwise provided below, Transferee shall provide to the Transferred Employees the employee benefit plans, arrangements and fringe benefits which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the plans of Transferor. Without limiting the foregoing, Transferee and Transferor agree to the following:

i. Transferee shall arrange for the continuation of any pension plan on a substantially similar basis effective on the Closing Date. The accrued liability in the Pension Plan for the Business Employees shall be computed in accordance with the actuarial assumptions, procedures and methods used in the most recent actuarial valuation by Transferor’s designated actuary, and the amount of such liability shall be administratively segregated for accounting purposes on behalf of the Business Employees and transferred to the Transferee as soon after the Closing Date as reasonably practicable to the extent allowable by law. The Business Employees shall have no further rights against the Transferor’s pension plan after the transfer of the applicable plan assets to the Transferee’s pension plan. Transferee assumes the accumulated Pension Plan liabilities for all of the Business Employees effective on the Closing Date.

ii. Transferee shall, effective on the Closing Date, adopt employee benefit plans that are substantially identical to the plans maintained by the Transferor on the Closing Date. Transferee will indemnify, hold harmless and defend Transferor from and against all claims, including, without limitation, any costs, expenses, obligations or liabilities arising out of the providing of such services or consulting by Transferor pursuant to such agreement.

iii. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Transferor shall issue to Transferee a listing of any deferred compensation or other deferred payment owed to any of the Transferred Employees on the Day Preceding, which amounts shall be assumed and paid by Transferee according to the deferral agreements. Such listing shall only be informative as the actual records of Transferor shall conclusively establish the amount and time of payment for any such obligation.

10. Mutual Covenants. Each of the parties covenants and agrees as follows:

a. Consents. Transferee acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required by governmental authorities relating to Permits or from parties to the Contracts and that such consents have not been obtained. Transferor shall not have any liability whatsoever to Transferee arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any required consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any Permit or Contract as a result thereof. No representation, warranty or covenant of Transferor contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached and no condition deemed not satisfied as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or (ii) any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any persons arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination. Transferor shall cooperate with Transferee in any reasonable manner in connection with Transferee’s obtaining any such consents; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not require the Transferor to expend money, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

b. Shared Contracts. Transferee acknowledges that the Contracts may include contracts that Transferor shares with Transferee and are used in the Business (“Shared Contracts”) and the Shared Contracts shall not constitute Assets and shall not be transferred to Transferee. With respect to any Shared Contract, Transferor shall cooperate with Transferee in a reasonable manner in connection with its efforts to obtain the agreement of the other party or parties to any Shared Contract to enter into a separate agreement with Transferee with respect to the matters covered by such Shared Contract as they relate to the Business; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not require the Transferor to expend money, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party. Transferee agrees that Transferor shall not have any liability whatsoever to Transferee arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such separate agreement. No representation, warranty or covenant of Transferor contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition deemed not satisfied, as a result of the failure to obtain any such separate agreement or as a result of any facts relating to the Shared Contracts.

c. Nontransferred Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Contracts, Permits, or other Assets of Transferor shall be deemed sold, transferred or assigned to Transferee pursuant to this Agreement if the attempted sale, transfer or assignment thereof to Transferee without the consent or approval of another party or governmental entity would be ineffective or would constitute a breach of contract or a violation of any law or regulation or would in any other way adversely affect the rights of Transferor (or Transferee as transferee or assignee), and such consent or approval is not obtained. With respect to any Shared Contracts and any Contracts not transferred to Transferee because of the failure to obtain a required consent (“Nontransferred Contracts”), Transferee shall cooperate with Transferor to minimize any liability that Transferor may have in connection with such Shared Contracts or Nontransferred Contracts as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by enabling Transferor to perform its obligations under such Shared Contracts or Nontransferred Contracts for a period of up to six (6) months following the Closing Date.

In such case, to the extent possible, (i) the beneficial interest in or to such Contracts, Permits or Assets (collectively, the “Beneficial Rights”) shall in any event pass as of the Closing Date to Transferee under this Agreement; and (ii) pending such consent or approval, Transferee shall assume or discharge the obligations of Transferor under such Beneficial Rights (but only to the extent such obligations are Assumed Liabilities) and Transferor shall act as Transferee’s agent in the receipt of any benefits, rights or interest received from the Beneficial Rights. At the request of either party, Transferee and Transferor shall use efforts which are reasonable and commensurate with the value and materiality of the Contract, Permits, or Asset being transferred to obtain and secure any and all consents and approvals that may be necessary to effect the legal and valid sale, transfer or assignment of the Contracts, Permits or other Assets underlying the Beneficial Rights to Transferee without material change. Transferee shall pay for all out-of-pocket expenses associated with such efforts. Transferee and Transferor will make or complete such transfers as soon as possible and cooperate with each other in any other mutually agreeable arrangement designed to provide for Transferee the benefits of such Contracts, Permits, and other Assets.

d. Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate with each other and shall cause their officers, employees, agents and representatives to cooperate with each other for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Transferee, to permit Transferor and Transferee to file necessary returns and reports, and to minimize the disruption to the respective businesses of the parties hereto resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby. No party shall be required by this Section 10(d) to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business.

Definition of EBITDA

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

EBITDA shall also be adjusted, without duplication, (a) to give effect to acquisitions and divestitures occurring during such Measurement Period on a pro forma basis as if such acquisitions and divestitures occurred on the first day of such Measurement Period, and (b) to eliminate the material positive and negative effect on EBITDA during such Measurement Period of (i) any Special Items, (ii) any Post Measurement Period Special Programs, (iii) the difference between any Non-Arm’s Length Terms and arm’s length terms, (iv) any Pension Plan Amendment Differential Costs, (v) any Contingent Payments paid during such Measurement Period, and (vi) any Company Indemnification Amounts.

“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with reference to any Measurement Period, the interest expense, net of interest income, of the Company Group set forth in the Company’s financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and (c) for such Measurement Period and calculated on a consolidated basis for such period in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to eliminate any interest expense, net of interest income, attributable to or arising out of the Unilever Brands Agreements and, if and to the extent applicable during the Measurement Period, the Former MSA Agreement.

“Consolidated Net Income” means, with reference to any Measurement Period, the net income (or loss) of the Company Group set forth in the Company’s financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and (c) for such Measurement Period and calculated on a consolidated basis for such period in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to eliminate any net income attributable to or arising out of the Unilever Brands Agreements and, if and to the extent applicable during the Measurement Period, the Former MSA Agreement.

“Special Items” means (a) items that under GAAP would qualify as special, extraordinary or non-recurring one-time items and/or (b) any other special, extraordinary or non-recurring one-time items arising other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and of the type taken into account in the calculation of EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to the DiverseyLever Business and/or the CMI Business (in each case as defined the Purchase Agreement) as set forth on Schedule F to the Purchase Agreement.

“Post Measurement Period Special Programs” means expenditure programs of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than expenditure programs approved by the Unilever Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section II.A.2.b of Article Fourth of the Certificate or by a Unilever Director pursuant to Section 4.11) (a) which are not in the Ordinary Course of Business, (b) to the extent (but only to such extent) such Programs are initiated for the principal purpose of producing a material benefit to the Company Group for periods subsequent to such Measurement Period, (c) to the extent (but only to the extent) such Programs result in increases in expenses during such Measurement Period materially in excess of expenses for similar programs or expenditures during periods prior to such Measurement Period, (d) to the extent (but only to such extent) such Programs result in a negative impact on EBITDA for such Measurement Period and (e) if such Programs are disclosed in writing to a Unilever Director, are objected to by a Unilever Director following any such disclosure, either in writing or by a vote against such Program in connection with any vote taken by the Board on any such Program.

“Non-Arm’s Length Terms” means the effect of terms that (a) are materially less favorable to the Company or a Company-Controlled Affiliate than those that could have been obtained in a transaction by the Company or such Company-Controlled Affiliate with a person that is an independent third party, and (b) are included in, or arise out of, non-arms length (as described in clause (a) above) Affiliate Transactions, other than Affiliate Transactions which (i) have been disclosed in writing to Unilever prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) have been approved by the Unilever Stockholder or a Unilever Director.

“Company Indemnification Amount” means any expense, accrual or provision made during the applicable Measurement Period (a) to the extent that such expense, accrual or provision decreases Applicable EBITDA for such Measurement Period, and (b) to the extent that, subject to the provisions of Article XI of the Purchase Agreement (including provisions relating to minimum and maximum indemnity amounts and time limitations on indemnification), such expense, accrual or provision would entitle a Unilever Indemnified Party to indemnification under Section 6.9(a)(ii) (relating to the Original CMI Business), 11.1(b)(i), 11.1(b)(ii), 11.1(b)(v), 11.1(b)(vi), or 11.1(o) through (v) of the Purchase Agreement.

Contingent Payments

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

a. on the Payment Date in 2007, the Contingent Payment (the “2007 Contingent Payment”) shall equal the lesser of (i) $100,000,000, or (ii) (A) 0.25, times (B) the 2006 Cumulative Differential;

b. on the Payment Date in 2008, the Contingent Payment (the “2008 Contingent Payment”) shall equal the lesser of (i) (A) $100,000,000, minus (B) any 2007 Contingent Payment, or (ii) (A) 0.25, times (B) the 2007 Cumulative Differential;

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

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

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

2. Limitations on Contingent Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

a. The Company shall not pay, and the Unilever Stockholder shall have no right to receive, any Contingent Payment in respect of Cash Flows (or any portion thereof) for any Fiscal Year after the Fiscal Year in which the End Date occurs (such Contingent Payment, if any, the “Final Contingent Payment”), and after such Final Contingent Payment shall have been paid, the Unilever Stockholder shall have no further rights under this Exhibit 9.

b. The Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the payment by the Company of the Contingent Payment Amount in this Exhibit 9 shall not be made until and unless permitted by the provisions of the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and

holders of collateral thereunder; provided, further, that such payment shall not be made until and unless the dividends declared in accordance with Section 4.10(a)(iv) of the Agreement, including the Agreed Dividend Policy, shall have been paid; provided, further, that if the Company does not pay the Contingent Payment Amount at any time it would otherwise be obligated to pay such amount but for the provisions of this subsection (b), interest shall accrue on such amount at the Applicable Rate from such time until the date of payment.

3. Determination of Cash Flows. The Cash Flows for each Fiscal Year included in a period described in Section 1 hereof shall be determined by the Company and shall be set forth in an Annual Statement of Cash Flows (an “Annual Statement”). Each Annual Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Company to the effect that such Annual Statement was prepared in accordance with this Exhibit 9. A copy of each such Annual Statement and certificate shall be delivered to the Unilever Stockholder not later than 90 days after the end of the Fiscal Year to which such Annual Statement relates. If the Unilever Stockholder disagrees with the calculation of Cash Flows contained in an Annual Statement, the Unilever Stockholder may, within 15 Business Days after receipt of such Annual Statement, deliver a notice to the Company disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Unilever Stockholder’s calculation of such amount (a “Cash Flows Dispute Notice”). Any such Cash Flows Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Unilever Stockholder disagrees (“Cash Flows Disputed Items”), and the Unilever Stockholder shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Annual Statement other than the Cash Flows Disputed Items. In connection with the Unilever Stockholder’s review of an Annual Statement, the Company, at the Unilever Stockholder’s expense, will provide the Unilever Stockholder with reasonable access at reasonable times to all books and records in the control of the Company relevant to such review. If a Cash Flows Dispute Notice shall be delivered in accordance with this Section 3, the parties shall, during the 15 Business Days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the Cash Flows Disputed Items in order to determine the amount of Cash Flows for the applicable Fiscal Year; provided, that such amount determined by the parties shall not be less than the amount shown on the Annual Statement nor more than the amount shown in the Cash Flows Dispute Notice. If the parties are not able to reach agreement as to the amount of Cash Flows for the applicable Fiscal Year during such additional 15-Business Day period, the determination of such amount shall be referred to the Accounting Expert in accordance with Sections 8.10 and 8.11(e) of the Agreement.

4. Definitions.

EXHIBIT 10

Certain Indemnification

SECTION 1. Indemnification.

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

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

(c) Procedures. The provisions of Section 11.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to claims for indemnification made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification. The provisions of this Exhibit 10 shall not affect any other agreement between any Company Group Member and any Unilever Group Member with respect to indemnification.

SECTION 2. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 1 hereof is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Costs referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Costs incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company Group on the one hand and the Unilever Group on the other from the

issuance or sale of securities or (ii) if the allocation provided in clause (i) above is not permitted by Applicable Law, not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company Group on the one hand and of the Unilever Group on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Costs, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that, the Unilever Group Members shall not be liable to the Company Group in any case to the extent any Unilever Group Member has furnished in writing to the Company Group, prior to the delivery or circulation of the final prospectus or offering memorandum, as the case may be, or any supplement or amendments thereto, information expressly for use therein which corrected or made not untrue or misleading information previously furnished to the Company Group and the Company failed to include such information therein.

The relative fault of the Company Group on the one hand and the Unilever Group on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by a Company Group Member or by a Unilever Group Member and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 3. Certain Procedures. In connection with any filing of a Registration Statement or any other Indemnified Documents described in clause (c) of the definition of “Indemnified Documents” (collectively, “Section 3 Documents”) in respect of which the Unilever Group would have a liability or obligation in respect of the Company Indemnification, (a) the Company shall provide the Unilever Group and its outside counsel, at the Unilever’s Stockholder’s sole cost and expense, with (i) the right to participate in such due diligence reviews of the management, auditors, financials, information, books and records of the Company Group as is customarily afforded to counsel to underwriters and as may be reasonably necessary for the Unilever Group to satisfy the standards of investigation applicable to control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) the right to attend working group and due diligence meetings with underwriters at which the Section 3 Document and any other Indemnified Document incorporated by reference therein is prepared or substantively reviewed, discussed and revised, and (iii) copies of drafts and amendments or supplements of the Section 3 Document a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, or in the case of Section 3 Documents that are not to be so filed, dissemination to investors, and (b) the Unilever Stockholder shall, at its sole cost and expense, be provided a reasonable opportunity to review, comment and propose reasonable revisions to the Section 3 Document, but the Company shall retain the sole right to determine the final form and content of such Documents. The Unilever Directors shall be provided with copies of any Indemnified Document that is not a Section 3 Document prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

SECTION 4. Financing Agreements. The Unilever Stockholder hereby agrees, consents to and acknowledges that the payment by the Company of the Unilever Indemnification shall not be made until and unless permitted by the provisions of the Financing Agreements and the rights, remedies and powers of the lenders or noteholders (other than any Unilever Group Member) and holders of collateral thereunder.

SECTION 5. Unilever Information. The Unilever Stockholder shall furnish the Company with such information relating to the Unilever Group and the Unilever Directors as the Company may reasonably request, but only to the extent as shall be required by Applicable Law to be included in any Indemnified Documents.

SECTION 6. No Prejudice. The inclusion of this indemnity shall not be deemed to be an admission of any control person liability under Applicable Law.
