The Parties hereto agree that none of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, including this Agreement, shall result in any SpinCo Employee, SpinCo LTD Employee or Former SpinCo Employee being deemed to have incurred a termination of employment or being eligible to receive severance benefits, solely as a result of the Distribution.

Section 2.02. Delayed Transfer Employees. To the extent that applicable Law (including the Transfer of Undertakings) or any arrangement with a Governmental Authority or any agreement between Parties prevents the Parties from causing any (a) RemainCo Employee who is intended to be a SpinCo Employee to be employed by a member of the SpinCo Group as of immediately following the Distribution as contemplated by Section 2.01 or (b) SpinCo Employee who is intended to be a RemainCo Employee to be employed by a member of the RemainCo Group as of immediately following the Distribution (each such employee, a “Delayed Transfer
7

Employee” and the SpinCo Group or RemainCo Group entity to which such Delayed Transfer Employee is intended to be transferred, the “Destination Employer”), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the Destination Employer at the earliest time permitted by applicable Law or such agreement with a Governmental Authority and (ii) the Destination Employer receives the benefit of such Delayed Transfer Employee’s services from and after the Distribution, including under the TSA or by entering into an employee leasing or similar arrangement. “Delayed Transfer Employee” shall also include (x) any RemainCo Employee who, following the Distribution, provides services to the SpinCo Group under the TSA and whose employment is intended by RemainCo to transfer to the SpinCo Group following the completion of the applicable TSA service, and with respect to such Delayed Transfer Employees, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the SpinCo Group as soon as practicable following the completion of the applicable TSA service, and (y) any RemainCo Employee located in the United Arab Emirates and/or Saudi Arabia as of immediately prior to the Distribution and whose employment is intended to transfer to the SpinCo Group as of immediately following the Distribution as contemplated by Section 2.01, and with respect to each such Delayed Transfer Employee, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the SpinCo Group as soon as practicable following the Distribution. From and after the commencement of a Delayed Transfer Employee’s employment with the Destination Employer, such Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if such Delayed Transfer Employee commenced employment with the Destination Employer as of the Distribution as contemplated by Section 2.01.

Section 2.04. Collective Bargaining Agreements. As of the Distribution, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of the SpinCo Group as appropriate to, adopt and assume any Collective Bargaining Agreement covering any of the SpinCo Employees immediately prior to the Distribution, subject to any agreed-upon changes required by the transition of such Collective Bargaining Agreement to SpinCo or applicable Law, and recognize the works councils, labor unions and other Employee Representatives that are party to such Collective Bargaining Agreements; provided that any compensation or benefits that were, prior to the Distribution, provided to SpinCo Employees under the Collective Bargaining Agreements through the
8

RemainCo Benefit Plans shall, to the extent such compensation and benefits are still required to be provided under the Collective Bargaining Agreements on and after the Distribution, be provided as mutually agreed with such works councils, labor unions and other Employee Representatives through the SpinCo Benefit Plans as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter the provisions of any Collective Bargaining Agreement or modify in any way the obligations of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group to any Employee Representative or any other Person as described in such Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Section 2.05. Information and Consultation. The Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of the RemainCo Group and/or SpinCo Group (as applicable) to, comply with all requirements and obligations to inform, consult or otherwise notify any SpinCo Employees, any RemainCo Employees, and/or Employee Representatives in relation to the Distribution or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Separation Agreement, whether required pursuant to any Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Transfer of Undertakings, or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE 8
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
Section 8.01. RemainCo U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Notwithstanding Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the Distribution, the RemainCo Group shall retain sponsorship of the RemainCo International Inc. Retirement Earnings Plan (the “RemainCo Pension Plan”) and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to the RemainCo Pension Plan; provided that on or prior to the Distribution, RemainCo shall assign, and SpinCo shall accept such assignment (or cause such assignment to be accepted), to a new U.S. defined benefit pension plan sponsored by SpinCo (the “SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan”) all Liabilities for vested and unvested benefits under the RemainCo Pension Plan relating to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo LTD Employees (the “SpinCo U.S. Pension Liabilities,” and such individuals, the “SpinCo U.S. Pension Participants”). No later than the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall establish or maintain, or cause to be established or maintained, such SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan, which shall have material terms and conditions that are substantially identical to the terms and conditions of the RemainCo Pension Plan that apply to the SpinCo U.S. Pension Participants and shall be (or remain) qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and a trust which is part of such SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan and which shall be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code (the “SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust”). Each SpinCo U.S. Pension Participant shall become a participant in the SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date. As soon as administratively practicable following the Distribution Date, but subject to the following paragraph, RemainCo shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) from the applicable tax-qualified trust which is part of the RemainCo Pension Plan (the “RemainCo Pension Trust”) to the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust an amount of assets (the “Pension Asset Transfer Amoun t”) from the RemainCo U.S. Pension Trust with a fair market value that results from maintaining the same funded ratio (market value of assets over plan liabilities) as the predecessor/combined pension plan, as calculated by an actuary designated by RemainCo using the actuarial assumptions and calculation procedures dictated by ERISA 4044 for the calendar month immediately prior to the calendar month in which the Distribution Date occurs. The fair market value of such transferred assets will be based on actual market values as of the date of transfer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such amount of assets shall be determined and certified by an actuary in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.414(l)-1 promulgated thereunder). In executing this transfer, 90% of the estimated transfer value will be transferred on the Distribution Date with the remaining true-up transfer occurring as soon as practicable, but not later than six months after the Distribution Date. The true-up transfer will be adjusted for investment returns of the Remainco pension trust from Distribution Date until final true-up transfer is completed. The date of such final transfer is hereinafter referred to as the “SpinCo U.S. Pension Transfer Date.” The Pension Asset Transfer Amount shall be adjusted, for the period between the Distribution and the SpinCo U.S. Pension Transfer Date, to reflect (i) investment earnings (or losses) on the Pension Asset Transfer Amount, based on the actual rate of return for the Honey Pension Plan during such period, (ii) any benefit payments that are made from the RemainCo Pension Trust to the SpinCo U.S. Pension Participants during such period and (iii) reasonable costs and expenses incurred by RemainCo in respect of the SpinCo U.S. Pension Participants during such period. The Pension Asset Transfer Amount, as adjusted in
16

accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be transferred in a combination of cash and in-kind assets as agreed between RemainCo and SpinCo, provided, however, that the RemainCo Pension Trust shall not be obligated to convert assets into cash to the extent that such conversion would result in a significant reduction in the value of such assets or the remaining assets with respect to the RemainCo Pension Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of Liabilities or assets shall be made from the RemainCo Pension Trust to the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust until the later of (a) such date as agreed to between RemainCo and SpinCo in accordance with the TSA, if any, and (b) such time as RemainCo has determined, in its sole discretion, that (i) SpinCo has established the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust, (ii) the SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan satisfies the requirements for a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, (iii) the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code and (iv) the parties have received all other approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities (or such approvals are pending). Following the SpinCo U.S. Pension Transfer Date, RemainCo and the RemainCo Group shall have no further liability (either under this Agreement or otherwise) to provide the SpinCo U.S. Pension Participants with benefits under the RemainCo Pension Plan. The SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan and the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust (and any successor to such plan and/or trust) shall provide that (i) with respect to assets transferred to the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust from the RemainCo Pension Trust, such assets shall be held by the SpinCo U.S. Pension Trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants in the SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan, and (ii) the accrued benefits as of the Distribution Date of each SpinCo U.S. Pension Participant may not be decreased by amendment or otherwise. Following the date of this Agreement, RemainCo and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in administering the SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan, including by exchanging any necessary participant records, engaging recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties and making any and all filings and submissions to the appropriate Governmental Authorities in effectuating the provisions of this Section 8.01 (including IRS Forms 5310-A in respect of the transfers of assets and, in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a “reportable event” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder for which the applicable notice period has not been waived, timely notification to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and filing of all reports required in connection therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, the SpinCo U.S. Pension Plan shall be a SpinCo Benefit Plan.
Section 8.02. Non-U.S. Partial Transfer Pension Plans. Except as required by applicable Law or under the terms of a Local Agreement, RemainCo and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate an assignment and transfer of Liabilities for vested and unvested benefits relating to SpinCo Employees and SpinCo LTD Employees, and an amount of assets related thereto, under any non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans sponsored by RemainCo or a member of the RemainCo Group in respect of employees in Japan and Switzerland (each, a “RemainCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan”) to a non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan or plans sponsored by SpinCo (each, a “SpinCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan”) in accordance with the principles of Section 8.01 (or any analogous principles or other requirements under applicable Law), except that the amount of assets transferred from any such RemainCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan (or any trust related thereto) to a corresponding SpinCo Partial Transfer Pension
17

Plan (or any trust related thereto) shall be determined on a plan-by-plan, country-by-country (or, if required by applicable Law, other jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction) basis and shall be equal to a percentage of the Projected Benefit Obligation relating to SpinCo Employees, SpinCo LTD Employees and Former SpinCo Employees participating in such RemainCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan or SpinCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan, as of the Distribution Date, applicable to such plan in such country (or other required jurisdiction) equal to the applicable RemainCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan’s funding level (expressed as a percentage and as determined by an actuary designated by RemainCo) in such country (or other required jurisdiction) as of the Distribution Date, or such higher amount as required by applicable Law in such country (or other required jurisdiction). For the avoidance of doubt, any such SpinCo Partial Transfer Pension Plan shall be a SpinCo Benefit Plan. Further details regarding the treatment of the RemainCo Partial Transfer Pension Plans and SpinCo Partial Transfer Pension Plans will be as set forth in the applicable Local Agreement.
Section 8.03. Non-U.S. Full Transfer Pension Plans. Following the Distribution, the SpinCo Group shall retain sponsorship of the defined benefit pension plan in Germany set forth on Schedule 8.03 to this Agreement (the “SpinCo Full Transfer Pension Plan”) and all pension Liabilities relating to such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, following such assignment and transfer, the SpinCo Full Transfer Pension Plan shall be a SpinCo Benefit Plan.

RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate in good faith to work with the RemainCo 401(k) Plan and SpinCo 401(k) Plan recordkeepers to develop a process and procedure for effecting the in-kind direct rollover of promissory notes evidencing participant loans from the RemainCo 401(k) Plan to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan, and the obligation of the RemainCo 401(k) Plan to permit the direct rollover of loan promissory notes is conditioned on the development of a loan
18

rollover process and procedure that is acceptable to the respective recordkeepers. The RemainCo Group and the RemainCo 401(k) Plan shall have no further Liabilities with respect to any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee whose RemainCo 401(k) Plan account balance is rolled over to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan in accordance with this Section 9.02. In the event that the elections by SpinCo Employees pursuant to this Section 9.02 in connection with the Distribution result in a mass rollover, RemainCo and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to effect such mass rollover, including by exchanging any necessary participant records and engaging recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties.
Section 9.03. Employer 401(k) Plan Contributions. The RemainCo Group shall remain responsible for making all employer contributions to the RemainCo 401(k) Plan with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to periods prior to the Distribution; provided that, by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Distribution occurs, the RemainCo Group shall make all employer contributions with respect to such SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee required under the RemainCo 401(k) Plan for periods of time prior to the Distribution. Any such contributions that are unvested as of the Distribution shall become fully vested as of the Distribution. On and after the Distribution, the SpinCo Group shall be responsible for all employer contributions under the SpinCo 401(k) Plan with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees.
Section 9.04. Stock Considerations. Following the Distribution, SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees shall not be permitted to acquire shares of RemainCo Common Stock in any stock fund under the SpinCo 401(k) Plan.

Section 9.06. Non-U.S. Defined Contribution Plans. The treatment of any RemainCo Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees outside of the United States and in which any SpinCo Employee, SpinCo LTD Employee or Former SpinCo Employee participates (each, a “Non-U.S. DC Plan”) shall be governed by the applicable Local Agreement; provided that if a Local Agreement does not address the treatment of an applicable Non-U.S. DC Plan, then RemainCo and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Non-U.S. DC Plan to be treated in a manner that is consistent with applicable Law and, to the extent practicable, the general principles of this ARTICLE 9.
