| 7.2 | The Unilever Parties shall procure that each Unilever Affiliate gives to the JD Affiliate in the same MLA Territory such access to its personnel and records as is reasonably required and shall cause such personnel to render such assistance as the JD Affiliate may reasonably request in each case in connection with the preparation of the Former MSA Closing Statement; provided that such access shall be organized in a manner as shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Unilever Affiliate. |
| 7.3 | The Former MSA Closing Stock shall be valued on the basis of the transfer price for each such MLA Product as agreed between each JD Affiliate and Unilever Affiliate to be applicable as from the Commencement Date (or in relation to any Delayed Transition Territory, the Delayed Transition Date) and shall be expressed in local currency. |
| 7.4 | If any Unilever Affiliate disagrees with the corresponding JD Affiliate’s calculation of the Former MSA Closing Stock, it may, within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof, deliver a notice to the JD Affiliate disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth its calculation of such amount (a “Notice of Disagreement”). Any such Notice of Disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Unilever Affiliate disagrees (“Disputed Items”), and it shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts. If the Unilever Affiliate does not disagree with the Former MSA Closing Statement within such 15 Business Day period, then the Former MSA Closing Statement as provided by the JD Affiliate shall be deemed to be agreed and in final form. |
| 7.5 | If a Notice of Disagreement shall be delivered in accordance with Clause 7.4, the Parties shall, during the 15 Business Days following such delivery, use their respective reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the Disputed Items in order to determine the amount and value of the Former MSA Closing Stock and if so agreed, the Former MSA Closing Statement shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect such agreement. |
| 7.6 | If the Parties are not able to reach agreement as to amount and value of the Former MSA Closing Stock during the period specified in Clause 7.5, the Parties shall promptly thereafter cause an independent, internationally recognized firm of accountants (the “Accountant”) to review the Disputed Items and all relevant records for the purpose of calculating and determining the amount and value of the Former MSA Closing Stock. In making each such determination, the Accountant shall deliver to the Parties, as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 20 Business Days following the retaining of the Accountant for such purpose, a report setting forth its determination of the amount and value of the Former MSA Closing Stock, which shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The cost of any such review and report shall be borne as to 10/13 by JohnsonDiversey and 3/13 by Unilever. |
| 7.7 | Each Unilever Affiliate shall sell, transfer and deliver to the JD Affiliate in its MLA Territory, and each such JD Affiliate shall purchase, as of the Commencement Date (or in relation to any Delayed Transition Territory, the Delayed Transition Date), the Former MSA Closing Stock, for the amount finally determined and agreed to be its value in accordance with this Clause 7, in its MLA Territory, such amount to be paid by each JD Affiliate to the corresponding Unilever Affiliate within 40 Business Days following the Commencement Date (or in relation to any Delayed Transition Territory, the Delayed Transition Date) or within 10 Business Days following receipt of any invoice from the relevant Unilever Affiliate for such amount, whichever is the later. |
| 7.8 | Any payment made pursuant to Clause 7.7 shall be made by the relevant JD Affiliate in the relevant local currency by wire transfer or by delivery to the relevant Unilever Affiliate of the relevant amount in immediately available funds. The payee shall designate its preferred method of payment (and wire instructions, if appropriate) for such purpose at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the payment (or, if not so designated, any such payment shall be made by certified or official bank check payable in immediately available funds to the order of the payee in such amount). |
| 8. | Early Termination Fees |
| 8.1 | The Parties and their respective Affiliates hereby agree and confirm that, taking into account prior payments of Local Additional Agency Fees made by Unilever Affiliates in respect of partial terminations of the Former MSA Agreement (and any related Local Agreements) (including for the avoidance doubt any amounts due (if any) in respect of Chile and UK, which amounts, if not already paid by the date hereof, shall be paid as soon as possible hereafter and in any event prior to the Commencement Date), the remaining balances of the Local Additional Agency Fees in each Territory and of the aggregate amount of the Additional Agency Fees across all the Territories immediately prior to termination of the Former MSA Agreement and the Local Agreements and execution of the MSA and the MLA pursuant to this Agreement are as set forth in column (1) (headed “Additional Agency Fee Outstanding”) of Appendix A to Schedule 1 (the “Final Additional Agency Fee Amounts”). |
| 8.2 | The Parties hereby agree and confirm that upon and in respect of the termination of the Former MSA Agreement and the Local Agreements and execution of the MSA and the MLA pursuant to this Agreement: |
| (A) | clause 12.2 of the Former MSA Agreement shall not apply and shall be regarded as having been deleted from the Former MSA Agreement (and any equivalent provision thereto from any Local Agreement) immediately prior to the Commencement Date; |
| (B) | the Final Additional Agency Fee Amounts are not and shall not be nor become payable as a consequence of the termination of the Former MSA Agreement (and any related Local Agreements) or any other act or transaction pursuant to this Agreement; |
| (C) | no other amounts in respect of Additional Agency Fees or Local Additional Agency Fees are nor shall they be nor become payable as consequence of the termination of the Former MSA Agreement (and related Local Agreements) or any other act or transaction pursuant to this Agreement. |
| 8.3 | The Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that the arrangements set out in the Former MSA Agreement and the Local Agreements for the payment of Additional Agency Fees and Local Additional Agency Fees by Unilever and the Unilever Affiliates have been replaced by new arrangements for the payment of Early Termination Fees in accordance with and on the terms of this Agreement, the MSA, the MLA (and the Inter Affiliate Licences) and the MDA. In consideration of the agreement by Unilever and the Unilever Affiliates to pay Early Termination Fees subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the MSA, the MLA (and the Inter Affiliate Licences) and the MDA, JohnsonDiversey and the JD Affiliates hereby waive any right or entitlement they may have to receive, and release Unilever and the Unilever Affiliates from any obligation to pay, the Final Additional Agency Fee Amounts, or any other amounts in respect of Additional Agency Fees or Local Additional Agency Fees, howsoever arising, whether under the Former MSA Agreement or any Local Agreement or by operation of law in any Territory, now or at any time in the future. |
| 8.4 | Within 20 Business Days following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (or in relation to any Delayed Transition Territory, the Delayed Transition Date), the JD Affiliate in each MLA Territory shall compare (i) the gross margin (being Net Proceeds of Sales, less marketing appropriation and cost of goods sold (where for the avoidance of doubt the cost of goods sold excludes warehousing and distribution costs) it has made on sales of Distribution Products sold under the MDA in the first twelve month period following the Commencement Date; with (ii) the Agency Fee (and in the event that in any such MLA Territory a Reduced Agency Fee (as defined in the Former MSA Agreement) was used to compute any part of the Agency Fee received in respect of 2006, then the Agency Fee attributable to the equivalent products sold under the Former MSA Agreement shall be calculated by applying the average of all Agency Fees received in respect of 2006) it received from the Unilever Affiliate in that Territory in relation to the equivalent products sold under the Former MSA Agreement during the calendar year 2006 (“2006 Agency Fee”) and shall express any increase or decrease as a percentage of the 2006 Agency Fee (“% Consumer Packs Profit Increase/Decrease”), which shall be applied as follows: |
| (A) | If there is a % Consumer Packs Profit Decrease, then the Unilever Affiliate shall pay to the JD Affiliate in that Territory within 20 Business Days of the claim by the JD Affiliate an amount equal to the product of the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee times the % Consumer Packs Profit Decrease and the balance, if any, of the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee shall be added to the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee, which shall be increased by such amount. |
| (B) | If there is a % Consumer Packs Profit Increase, then the Unilever Affiliate shall have no liability to the JD Affiliate in that Territory for any of the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee (which amount will therefore be written off) and the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee for that Territory shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee and the % Consumer Packs Profit Increase. |
For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no payment by a Unilever Affiliate to a JD Affiliate in any MSA Territory under this Clause 8.4.
| 8.5 | Upon termination of the MLA, in whole or in part, (i) by Unilever pursuant to clauses 16.2 or 16.4(C) of the MLA or (ii) pursuant to clause 16.3 of the MLA, provided such termination of the MLA results from a termination of the MSA either (a) by JohnsonDiversey pursuant to clauses 11.1 or 11.3 of the MSA; or (b) by Unilever pursuant to clauses 11.2(A), (B), (E) or (F) of the MSA, then Unilever shall pay to JohnsonDiversey (or procure payment by the relevant Unilever Affiliates to the relevant JD Affiliates) the relevant proportion of the Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee (as determined in accordance with Clause 8.7), such amount to be paid within 40 Business Days after final determination of the proper amount payable or within 10 Business Days following receipt of any invoice from the relevant JD Affiliate for such amount, whichever is the later. |
| 8.6 | Upon termination of the MSA, in whole or in part, (i) by JohnsonDiversey pursuant to clauses 11.1 or 11.3 of the MSA; (ii) by Unilever pursuant to clauses 11.2 (A), (B), (E) or (F) of the MSA; or (iii) pursuant to clause 11.4 of the MSA, provided such termination of the MSA results from a termination of the MLA by Unilever pursuant to clauses 16.2 or 16.4(C) of the MLA, then Unilever shall pay to JohnsonDiversey (or procure payment by the relevant Unilever Affiliates to the relevant JD Affiliates) the relevant proportion of the Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee (as determined in accordance with Clause 8.7), such amount to be paid within 40 Business Days after final determination of the proper amount payable or within 10 Business Days following receipt of any invoice from the relevant JD Affiliate for such amount, whichever is the later. |
| 8.7 | The relevant proportion of the Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee to be paid by the Unilever Affiliate pursuant to Clauses 8.5 and 8.6 shall be calculated by applying the percentage of total sales in the relevant Territory for the twelve months immediately prior to termination represented by sales of the Products directly affected by such termination to the amount of the Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee, the amount of the Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee being immediately reduced by any payment under this Clause. |
| 8.8 | Any claims made by a JD Affiliate for a payment by the Unilever Affiliate in the relevant Territory of part of the Early Termination Fee shall be supported by an audit certificate from either JohnsonDiversey’s external auditor or by JohnsonDiversey’s Internal Audit Department as to the amount claimed in accordance with this Agreement. If the certificate is from JohnsonDiversey’s Internal Audit Department, Unilever shall have the right to request a certificate from a recognised international auditing firm as to the amount claimed, the cost of which shall be shared equally by the Parties. |
| 9. | Compensation for Loss of Profit |
| 9.1 | By way of compensation for any loss of profit that JohnsonDiversey may suffer as a result of the termination of the Former MSA Agreement and its replacement by the MLA, and in full and final settlement of any claim it or any of its Affiliates may have in respect thereof, Unilever shall pay JohnsonDiversey the following sums in aggregate: |

| (B) | Before the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, US$ 1,000,000 (one million Dollars). |
| 9.2 | The payments referred to in Clause 9.1 (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Clause 9.1(A), after deduction of the aggregate of all Consumer Packs Early Termination Fees paid pursuant to Clause 8.4(A)) shall be allocated to the JD Affiliates pro rata to any payments made pursuant to Clause 8.4 (or in the case of the payment pursuant to clause 9.1(A), JohnsonDiversey’s good faith estimate thereof) and the corresponding Unilever Affiliate shall pay the relevant amount to the JD Affiliate in each relevant Territory and (i) in the case of any payment pursuant to Clause 9.1(A) for that Territory, the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee for that Territory shall be reduced by an equal amount (and in the event that such amount exceeds the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee, the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee shall be reduced to zero and any balance remaining shall be applied so as to reduce the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee for that Territory) and (ii) in the case of any payment pursuant to Clause 9.1(B) for that Territory, the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee for that Territory shall be reduced by an equal amount. |
| 10A. | Profit Sharing Arrangements under the MLA |
| 10A.1 | Within each MLA Territory, the Unilever Affiliate and the JD Affiliate shall share the total Operating EBITDA relating to the Products (as determined in accordance with this Clause 10A) made by both Affiliates according to a fixed proportion as follows: the Unilever Affiliate shall take [**]% and the JD Affiliate shall take [**]%. |
| 10A.2 | The 4% Royalty in the MLA is calculated with the intention of achieving the profit shares referred in Clause 10A.1, based on the results of both Parties during 2006 (but excluding business with Costco in the UK during that year). |
| 10A.3 | In arriving at the Operating EBITDA made each Fiscal Year by the Unilever Affiliate and the JD Affiliate in each MLA Territory, the following conditions shall apply for the purposes of this calculation: |

| 10A.6 | To support the year-end accounting requirements of both Parties, the Unilever Affiliate and the JD Affiliate in each MLA Territory shall, by the end of the month of November of each Fiscal Year, inform each other of its estimated Operating EBITDA for that Fiscal Year and shall agree upon the amount of the estimated profit adjustment that will be required.

| 10A.7 | If, in any Fiscal Year, the sum of all profit adjustments paid by either the Unilever Affiliates or the JD Affiliates in the MLA Territories (net of profit adjustments received in the MLA Territories) exceeds US$ [**] ([**] Dollars), then the Parties shall, subject to Clause 10A.8, amend the Royalty payable pursuant to the MLA for subsequent years to the rate that would have achieved the agreed [**]:[**] profit share prescribed under Clause 10A.1 above for the Fiscal Year in question. The new Royalty will be calculated to one decimal place only and shall apply to all MLA Territories. |

This estimated adjustment will not be paid by the Unilever Affiliate and will be superseded by the actual performance related bonus agreed by the relevant Unilever Affiliate and JD Affiliate following the end of the Fiscal Year in question in accordance with Clauses 10B.1 and 10B.3. |
| 10B.5 | If, following the extension of MSA beyond the tenth anniversary of the Commencement Date, Unilever sells, discontinues or otherwise disposes of one or more brands sold by JohnsonDiversey in any MSA Territory, the following shall apply in each of those Territories: |
| (A) | For the first twelve month period following the relevant event, the sales figure to which the fixed percentage of overheads is charged by the JD Affiliate to the MSA business as prescribed by Clause 10B.2 (A) above shall be increased to include a figure equal to 100% of the sales of the brands sold, discontinued or disposed of in the 12 months preceding the relevant event; |

SCHEDULE 1
EARLY TERMINATION FEES
| 1. | The Final Additional Agency Fee Amounts for each MLA Territory and MSA Territory are set out in column (1) (headed “Additional Agency Fee Outstanding”) of Appendix A attached to this Schedule 1. |
| 2. | The Early Termination Fee for each MLA Territory and MSA Territory is set out in column (4) (headed “Total Early Termination Fee”) of Appendix A attached to this Schedule 1 and has been calculated as follows: |
Early Termination Fee = Final Additional Agency Fee Amount LESS (Retained MSA Amount x 37%)
| 3. | The Early Termination Fee is divided into two elements for each MLA Territory as follows: |
| (A) | The “Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee” which is set out in column (6) (headed “Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee”) of Appendix A attached to this Schedule 1 and which has been calculated by multiplying the Early Termination Fee by the same percentage that sales of consumer packs sold in 2006 in such MLA Territory under the Master Sales Agency Agreement represented of total sales made under that agreement for such MLA Territory; |
| (B) | The “Professional Packs Early Termination Fee”, being the Early Termination Fee less the Consumer Packs Early Termination Fee, which is set out in column (7) (headed “Professional Packs Early Termination Fee”) of Appendix A attached to this Schedule 1, (as increased or decreased pursuant to Clause 8.4 and as decreased pursuant to Clause 9.2). |
The “Professional Packs Early Termination Fee” for each MSA Territory is the same as the Early Termination Fee for that MSA Territory and is as set out in column (7) (headed “Professional Packs Early Termination Fee”) of Appendix A attached to this Schedule 1.
| 4. | On the first and each subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date, the amount of the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee shall be reduced by an annual amortisation charge equal to 10% of the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee (as determined in accordance with paragraph 3 above) (each such reduced amount being the “Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee”), such that Amortised Professional Packs Early Termination Fee will be written down to zero by the tenth anniversary of the Commencement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if in any calendar year Unilever makes any payments to JohnsonDiversey pursuant to Clauses 8.5, 8.6 or 9.2 of this Agreement, the annual amortisation charge for the following and all subsequent years shall be calculated in accordance with the following: |
(PPETF - Y)
Z
Where:
“PPTEF” is the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee (after reduction by amortisation and any payments pursuant to Clauses 8.5, 8.6 and 9.2 for prior years but before reduction by amortisation and by any such payments pursuant to Clauses 8.5, 8.6 and 9.2 for the just completed year)
“Y” is the aggregate amount of all such payments made pursuant to Clauses 8.5, 8.6 and 9.2 for the just completed year.
“Z” is 10 (the number of years required for full amortisation) minus the number of years for which amortisation has already been taken at the time such payment was made.
By way of example and for illustrative purposes only, if after taking in to account the adjustment provided in Paragraph 3 above, the Professional Packs Early Termination Fee for a particular Territory was $750,000, then the amortisation charge for the first year would be $75,000 leaving a balance of $675,000. Assuming no payment of a Professional Packs Early Termination Fee during the second year, the amortisation change for the second year would also be $75,000, leaving a balance of $600,000. If during the third year, a Professional Packs Early Termination Fee of $50,000 was paid by Unilever to JohnsonDiversey, then the amortization charge for the third year would be $68,750, leaving a balance of $481,250, calculated as follows:
| ($600,000 minus $50,000) |
= | $550,000 | = | $68,750 | ||||
| (10 years minus 2 years) |

| (C) | there is a change of control of JohnsonDiversey or JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc, a change of control occurring if any person acquires Control or any person who previously had control ceases to have such Control (whether or not another person acquires Control), other than any transaction relating to the sale or transfer by any member of the Unilever Group of its equity interest in JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc or an initial public offering of the shares of JohnsonDiversey or JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc, it being understood that, upon a change of control of a JD Affiliate, it ceases to be a member of the JohnsonDiversey Group with the effect set forth in paragraph 19 below; |

| 18. | For the avoidance of doubt, the right to terminate the Distribution Appointments in accordance with this Schedule 4 is without prejudice to any rights, powers and remedies provided by law, and any rights or liabilities accrued hereunder, to either Party at the date of termination. |
| 19. | For the avoidance of doubt, on any member of JohnsonDiversey’s Group (including any JD Affiliate) ceasing to be a member, the Distribution Appointments shall be treated as terminated (in relation to that member only) for the purposes of Clause 21, on such JD Affiliate ceasing to be a member of the JohnsonDiversey Group. |
| 20. | Termination of the Agreement of which this Schedule 4 forms part in accordance with its terms or of any Distribution Appointment by Unilever in accordance with this Schedule 4 or expiry of the Term shall not give JohnsonDiversey or any JD Affiliate any right to compensation other than (i) in connection with any rights or liabilities arising under this Schedule 4 prior to such termination; and (ii) any amounts payable under this Schedule 4. |
