10.1 Survival. All of the representations and warranties of the Shareholder and Buyer under this Agreement will survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months except for the Shareholder’s representations and warranties under Section 3.16 which shall survive for an additional period of twenty four (24) months (42 months in the aggregate) and except for the Shareholder’s representation and warranties set forth in Section 3.9 which shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) and all covenants of the Shareholder (other than the covenants contained in Section 5.2) and Buyer under this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall terminate upon the Closing, the covenants of the Shareholder contained in Section 5.2 will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months and all covenants of the Shareholder and Buyer that by their terms are to be performed following the Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms (in each case, the “Survival Period”).

(a) The Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from, and will pay to such indemnified party the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (excluding incidental or consequential damages), or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorney’s fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Shareholder under this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant made by the Shareholder under this Agreement, (iii) any environmental claims associated with any 7-Eleven convenience food stores, (iv) any Liability relating to any plan covered by Title IV of ERISA, including any “multiemployer plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), that has been maintained or contributed to by FBHS or any other corporation or trade or business that, together with FBHS, is or was at a relevant time treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001(b) of ERISA, and any Liability relating to any legal compliance failures that affected the Accounts prior to the date of the Trust Transfer, (v) the Restructuring, including the failure to obtain any consent required by reason of the Restructuring, and (vi) the ownership or operation of Winwood and the transfer of Winwood to Shareholder or one of its Affiliates.

39

(b) Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Shareholder and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (the “Shareholder Indemnitees”) harmless from, and will pay to such indemnified party the amount of, any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer under this Agreement and (ii) any breach of any covenant made by Buyer under this Agreement.

10.3 Survival Period. No indemnifying party will have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any specific representation, warranty or covenant unless, on or before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, unless the party seeking indemnification hereunder notifies such indemnifying party in writing of a claim for indemnification under Section 10.2, specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by it.

10.4 Limitations on Amount.

The Shareholder will not have any liability in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of such Damages equals or exceeds an amount equal to $1,300,000 (the “Deductible”) in which case Buyer shall be entitled to be indemnified for all such Damages in excess of the Deductible provided, that, Damages incurred in connection with or arising from any breach of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability for indemnification by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) is $15,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that, for Damages incurred in connection with or arising from any breach of the Fundamental Representations, the Cap shall be the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to Damages relating to or arising out of (i) any claim for indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(iii), (iv), (vi) or (vi), or (ii) intentional or fraudulent misrepresentations.

10.5 Procedure for Indemnification — Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party of written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 10.2, give prompt written notice prior to the expiration of the Survival Period to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to promptly notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to such indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by such indemnified party’s failure to give such prompt notice or where such notice is given after the expiration of the Survival Period.

40

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.5(a) is brought against any indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel of its choosing; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume or continue sole control of the defense of any Proceeding if (i) the Proceeding relates to or arises in connection with any criminal conduct, (ii) the Proceeding seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party, (iii) the Proceeding has or would reasonably be expected to result in Damages in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4, (iv) the Proceeding would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party’s business with any customers, suppliers, vendors or other service providers, or (v) the indemnifying party has denied that such Proceeding is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as the indemnifying party diligently conducts such defense, be liable to such indemnified party under this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel retained by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding.

10.6 Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by an indemnified party only by giving prompt written notice prior to the expiration of the Survival Period to the indemnifying party.

10.7 No Right of Contributions. Neither of the Shareholder or FBHS shall, and none of their respective Affiliates shall, have any right of contribution against any the Companies, or any of the Companies’ respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, controlling persons, management companies or representatives for any claim asserted by any Buyer Indemnitee under this Article 10.

10.8 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Shareholder shall have no liability with respect to claims under Section 10 or Section 11 for any Damages relating to (A) the loss or unavailability of any Tax attribute (including any net operating loss, deduction, credit or Tax basis) or (B) except with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 3.9(e) and (g) and the covenant in Section 5.5, Taxes arising in taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date.

10.9 Calculation of Damages. The amount of any Damages payable under Section 10 or Section 11 shall be net of any Tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to such Damages in the taxable year the indemnification payment is made, any prior taxable year or in the following two (2) taxable years.

41

11. Tax Indemnification; Tax Matters.

11.1 Tax Indemnification. The Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnitees harmless from, and will pay to such indemnified party the amount of, without duplication, any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) Taxes of the Companies for Pre-Closing Periods, including, if any, as a result of the Restructuring and the transfer of Winwood to Shareholder or one of its Affiliates (“Pre-Closing Taxes”), (ii) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Companies are or were members on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of liability under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or 1.1502-78 or comparable provision of foreign, state or local Tax law; or (iii) Taxes or other payments required to be paid after the date hereof by the Companies to any party under any Tax Sharing Agreement (whether written or not) entered into prior to the Closing or by reason of being a successor-in-interest or transferee of another entity prior to the Closing; provided, that the Shareholder’s indemnification obligation under this Section 11.1 shall not include any Taxes arising from transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer’s purchase of the Companies.

11.2 Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a) After the Closing, each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party in writing within ten (10) days of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of an audit received by such party from any Taxing Authority or any other Person with respect to Taxes for which such other party is liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect such other party’s rights to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent that such party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Taxing Authority or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(b) Payment by an indemnitor of any amount due to an indemnitee under this Agreement shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by the indemnitee that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority or other applicable third party is due by the indemnitee, provided that the indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) business days before it is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority or applicable third party. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3, payment of such contested Tax will not be considered due earlier than the date a “final determination” to such effect is made by such Taxing Authority or a court. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall mean a settlement, compromise, or other agreement with the relevant Taxing Authority, whether contained in an IRS Form 870 or other comparable form, or otherwise, or such procedurally later event, such as a closing agreement with the relevant Taxing Authority, an agreement contained in IRS Form 870-AD or other comparable form, an agreement

42

that constitutes a “determination” under Section 1313(a)(4) of the Code, a deficiency notice with respect to which the period for filing a petition with the Tax Court or the relevant state, local or foreign tribunal has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired.

(c) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 11 shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the indemnified party.

11.3 Tax Audits and Contests; Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing Date, except in the case of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to the Companies (any such audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability referred to herein as a “Contest”) relating to a Tax Return of any consolidated, combined or unitary group of which FBHS and the Companies were members, (a “Pre-Closing Consolidated Return”), and except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) below, Buyer shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any Contest. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in subsections (b) and (c) below, FBHS shall have the sole right to conduct any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to any Tax Return of any consolidated combined or unitary group of which FBHS is a member (a “FBHS Contest”) and Buyer shall have no participation rights with respect to any FBHS Contest.

(b) In the case of a Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to Pre-Closing Taxes of the Companies, FBHS shall control the conduct of such Contest, but Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and FBHS shall not be able to settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of the Companies for any taxable year (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that with respect to any such Contest other than a FBHS Contest, if FBHS fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Contest within a reasonable period following the receipt by FBHS of notice of such Contest, Buyer shall have the right to assume control of such Contest; provided that FBHS shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and Buyer shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Contest without the consent of FBHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Buyer participation rights shall be limited to Contests solely involving the Companies.

43

(c) In the case of a Contest that relates solely to the Companies for Straddle Periods, Buyer shall control the conduct of such Contest, but FBHS shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and Buyer shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Contest without the consent of FBHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) FBHS and the Shareholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Companies as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Contest. FBHS and the Shareholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Contest or other proceeding involving or otherwise relating to the Companies (or their income or assets) with respect to any Tax and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 11.3(d). Any information obtained under this Section 11.3(d) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding.

(e) Each of FBHS, the Shareholder, Buyer and the Companies shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to properly retain and maintain the Tax and accounting records of the Companies that relate to Pre-Closing Periods for seven (7) years, (b) transfer such records to the Shareholder upon its written request prior to any such destruction, abandonment or disposition and (c) allow the Shareholder and its affiliates and their respective agents and representatives, at times and dates reasonably and mutually acceptable to the parties, to from time to time inspect and review such records as the Shareholder may deem necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that in all cases, such activities are to be conducted by the Shareholder during normal business hours and at the Shareholder’s sole expense. Any information obtained under this Section 11.3(e) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding.

11.4 Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) FBHS shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file all Tax Returns of the Companies with respect to any taxable period that ends on or prior to the Closing that are required to be filed with any Taxing Authority after the Closing Date, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. FBHS shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable law. FBHS shall (to the extent solely related to the Companies) deliver any such Tax Return, or in the case of a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return, the portion of any such Tax Return that relates to the Companies, to Buyer for its review at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed. If Buyer disputes any item on such Tax Return, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences concerning the items of dispute. If any

44

item of dispute remains unresolved for a period of twenty (20) days after the delivery of a the notice of dispute, either party shall be entitled to submit the dispute to a mutually agreeable internationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm that has not had a material relationship with the parties within the two years preceding the date of this Agreement (the “Independent Accountant”). The party submitting the dispute shall instruct the Independent Accountant to render a determination as to each unresolved item of dispute within sixty (60) days after its retention and the parties shall cooperate fully with the Independent Accountant so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable within such time period. The Independent Accountant shall consider only those outstanding items of dispute. Each party may submit a “position paper” to the Independent Accountant setting forth the position of such party with respect to such Item of Dispute, and the parties may discuss such matters with the Independent Accountant; provided that no party shall have ex parte discussions with the Independent Account. The Independent Accountant shall immediately submit copies of all documents and other data made available by one party to the other party. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to each item of dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to be paid by the parties based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Accountant.

(b) Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies (other than those Tax Returns described in Section 11.4(a) or any Tax Returns related to the FBHS Group). With respect to Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies for Straddle Periods (“Straddle Returns”), such Straddle Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable law), and the Shareholder shall be responsible for the Pre-Closing Taxes due in respect of such Straddle Returns in accordance with Section 11.1. Buyer shall notify the Shareholder of any amounts due from the Shareholder in respect of any Straddle Return no later than ten (10) business days prior to the date on which such Straddle Return is due, and the Shareholder shall remit such payment to Buyer no later than five (5) business dates prior to the date such Straddle Return is due. Buyer shall deliver any Straddle Return to the Shareholder for its review at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed. If the Shareholder disputes any item on such Tax Return, procedures similar to Section 11.4(a) shall govern the resolution of such dispute.

(c) Without the prior written consent of the FBHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and except as otherwise required by Law, Buyer shall not (A) amend, re-file, file or permit any Company to amend, re-file, or file any Tax Returns for a taxable period ending before the Closing Date or any Straddle

45

Period Tax Return or (B) offer to extend or waive, or cause to be offered to extend or waive, or permit any Company to offer to extend or waive, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a taxable period ending before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period Tax Return.

11.5 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Companies that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Companies or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including, without limitation, the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 11.5 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Buyer and the Shareholder agree that any deductions associated with Transaction Expenses shall be included as deductions of the Companies in all Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Periods to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement and further agree, except as otherwise required by Legal Requirement, that the “next day rule” of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) has no application with respect to such Transaction Expenses. Buyer and Shareholder further agree to apply the safe harbor election set forth in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2011-29 to determine the amount of any success based fees in connection with this Agreement.

46

11.6 Refunds.

(a) The Shareholder will be entitled to any credits and refunds (including interest received thereon) in respect of any Taxes for which the Shareholder has agreed to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 10 or Section 11 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any refund or credits for any taxable period of the Companies ending on or before the Closing Date or for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) With respect to any net operating loss generated after the Closing Date, the Companies shall elect to waive any carryback under Code Section 172(b)(3). Buyer shall pay over to the Shareholder any such refund or credit within ten (10) days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 11.6(a) and the Companies will be entitled to any refunds (including any interest received thereon) in respect of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability of the Companies.

11.7 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Shareholder when due. The party required under Applicable Law shall timely file any Tax Return with respect to such Taxes (and the non-filing party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary) and such party will provide such Tax Return to the other party for the other party’s review and approval at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Tax Return is filed.

11.8 Tax Sharing Agreements. Except as provided in Schedule 11.8, any and all existing Tax Sharing Agreements to which the Shareholder and the Companies are a party shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, the Companies shall have no further rights or liabilities thereunder.

12. Guarantee.
