(b) Upon receipt by any Party of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may call for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information or if any Party obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of such Party has received any subpoena, discovery or other request that may call for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Parties, such Party shall notify promptly the other Parties of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Parties a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 3.3 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. The Parties hereto agree that they will not produce or disclose any information or document over which they reasonably believe another Party has any claim of Privilege under this Section 3.3 unless (i) the Party who may claim a Privilege has provided its written consent to such production or disclosure (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a ruling that the information is not entitled to protection under any applicable Privilege.

(c) ASD’s (on behalf of the members of the ASD Group) transfer of books and records and other information to the members of the WABCO Group, and ASD’s agreement to permit WABCO to possess Privileged Information existing or generated prior to the Effective Time, are made in reliance on WABCO’s agreement, as set forth in Distribution Agreement, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable

Privileges. The access to information being granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Distribution Agreement, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement and the transfer of Privileged Information to WABCO pursuant to this Agreement and the Distribution Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 3.3 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement or the Distribution Agreement shall operate to reduce, minimize or condition the rights granted to ASD in, or the obligations imposed upon WABCO by, this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Common Interest. (a) The Parties hereto and their respective counsel believe that (i) there is a mutuality of interest with respect to the Indemnifiable Matters and (ii) communications between or among the Parties’ counsel and communications involving the Parties in the presence of such counsel regarding Indemnifiable Matters have been and will continue to be essential to the provision of legal advice regarding Indemnifiable Matters and the continued effective representation of the Parties in connection with Indemnifiable Matters. Accordingly, it is the intention and understanding of the each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its respective counsel and other Representatives, that any communications among the Parties or their counsel regarding Indemnifiable Matters are confidential and protected from disclosure to any third party by the attorney-client, common interest and work-product privileges, whether or not so identified or marked. The protection from disclosure includes, but is not limited to, disclosure in litigation relating to Indemnifiable Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall prevent the disclosure of the existence of this Agreement or the terms hereof.

(b) “Common Interest Materials” shall include, without limitation, all work and communications preparatory to the identification of and related to the defense of the Indemnifiable Matters. In order to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the following shall be deemed to be Common Interest Materials and shall be covered by this Agreement: (i) all work product and communications relating to the Indemnifiable Matters or this Agreement, (ii) all communications and information relating to the Indemnifiable Matters or this Agreement made or given by, between, or among the Parties hereto or their respective counsel and disclosed by one Party or its counsel to any other Party or its counsel, (iii) memoranda of law and all analyses and materials related to Indemnifiable Matters, (iv) all agreements, contracts and other memoranda, including preparatory materials, drafts and all oral and written communications pertaining to Indemnifiable Matters, and (v) any documents or information that would otherwise be protected by any applicable privilege or work product protection from disclosure to third parties other than the Parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Common Interest Materials shall not include this Agreement or any information relating the Indemnifiable Matters or to a Party which is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement by the disclosing Party.

(c) No Common Interest Materials received by a Party, or its counsel, from another Party, or its counsel, shall be disclosed to any third party without prior consent of the Party that has supplied the materials pursuant to this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other restriction or limitation contained herein, in the event of any dispute between or among the Parties, each Party may disclose Common Interest Material in or in connection with any proceeding resulting from such dispute to the extent reasonably necessary, but shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a

confidentiality stipulation with respect to the Common Interest Materials. In addition, if Common Interest Materials are required by applicable Law to be disclosed in connection with any Action or otherwise, or are requested to be disclosed to any Governmental Entity, any Party may disclose such materials (to the extent lawful to do so) if (i) before doing so it uses its reasonable best efforts in consultation with the relevant other Parties (or their counsel) to obtain a confidentiality stipulation with respect to such disclosure and (ii) if such efforts are not successful, it limits the scope of any disclosures to only that portion of the Common Interest Materials which it believes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required to furnish under applicable Law or in order to appropriately conduct such Action or the defense thereof, as the case may be.

(d) The Parties agree that if any attempt is made by any third party to secure or obtain Common Interest Materials, the other Parties shall be promptly notified and shall be given copies of any writings or documents, including subpoenas, summonses and the like, which relate to the attempt by the third party to obtain the information and such other Parties shall be given a reasonable opportunity to oppose the production of such requested Common Interest Material.

(e) The Parties agree that the Common Interest Materials created or produced by any other Party to this Agreement shall only be used in connection with the Indemnifiable Matters to which they relate. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, a Party may not use any Common Interest Material that are created or produced by any other Party in connection with any other matter or proceeding without the express prior written consent of the Party that created or produced such material. However, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Party from using Common Interest Materials that it created or produced in any other subsequent proceeding or matter. The Common Interest Materials shall remain the property of the producing Party and, following the conclusion of any Action, shall be returned to such Party upon twenty (20) days’ written notice.

(f) Each Party acknowledges that, as a result of this Agreement, legal counsel for each of the other Parties may have access to confidential information of such Party in the form of Common Interest Materials. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement and no sharing of information with such legal counsel pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to create an attorney-client relationship between any attorney and anyone other than the client of that attorney. Each Party hereby represents and agrees that it will not seek to disqualify counsel for any other Party from continuing to represent such other Party in any subsequent proceedings, whether or not that other Party’s interests become adverse to it, on the basis of access to information obtained hereunder.

(g) Each of the Parties hereto agrees, on behalf of itself and its respective counsel and other Representatives, that to the extent the Parties, their counsel and other Representatives of the Parties have already been in communication with one another about Indemnifiable Matters, their communications and work-product are subject to Section 3.4.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

Section 4.1 Payment; Timing; Escrow.

(a) Payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Indemnitors shall be responsible for and shall pay, on behalf of the Indemnitees, any and all Indemnifiable Losses imposed on any of the Indemnitees in connection with the Indemnifiable Matters and the Indemnitees shall in no event be required to make any such payment and then seek indemnification hereunder; provided, however, if ASD or any of the other Indemnitees makes any such payment for any reason whatsoever, nothing herein shall limit its rights to seek indemnification from the Indemnitors in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, except to the extent provided in Section 4.7(c), if applicable.

(b) Escrow. Following the Initial Decision Date and at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Payment Due Date (the “Funding Date”), WABCO shall or shall cause any other Indemnitor to deposit the Initial Decision Amount (the “Escrowed Amount”) by wire transfer in immediately available cash into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with a third party banking institution which is mutually acceptable to ASD and WABCO to be governed by an escrow agreement entered into among WABCO, the WABCO Charged Parties, ASD and the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) in substance and form reasonably acceptable to ASD and WABCO, which Escrow Agreement shall contain customary terms and conditions and shall reflect the agreed upon mechanics set forth in this Section 4.1. Following the deposit of the Escrowed Amount into the Escrow Account, seven Business Days prior to the Payment Due Date (or such earlier date as ASD and WABCO may mutually agree):

(i) if, in accordance with Section 2.2, neither WABCO (on behalf of the WABCO Charged Parties or B&K Charged Parties) nor ASD (on behalf of the ASD Charged Parties) appeal the Initial Decision by the Appeal Deadline Date, the Escrowed Amount will be released (pursuant to a written instruction that ASD is required to deliver to the escrow agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) to the European Commission in the manner specified in the Initial Decision or otherwise provided by applicable Law; or

(ii) if, in accordance with Section 2.2, WABCO (on behalf of the WABCO Charged Parties or B&K Charged Parties) or ASD (on behalf of the ASD Charged Parties) appeal the Initial Decision by the Appeal Deadline Date with respect to the decision rendered against any such Charged Party, the Escrowed Amount will be released seven Business Days prior to the Payment Due Date (pursuant to a written instruction that ASD is required to deliver to the escrow agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) to the European Commission in the manner specified in the Initial Decision or otherwise provided by applicable Law; provided, however, in lieu of the foregoing, if, at least nine Business Days prior to the Payment Due Date, WABCO provides or causes to be provided (x) a bank guarantee that is accepted by the European Commission which guarantees the Initial Decision Amount and the amount of any interest that will accrue on the Initial Decision Amount and will be due and owing to the European Commission between the Payment Due Date and the date on which the fine

and any accrued interest thereon have been paid in full following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by the Charged Parties in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings), in each case determined in accordance with the Initial Decision and the applicable rules in force in the European Union (with copies of such bank guarantee being simultaneously provided to ASD and the escrow agent) and (y) such other evidence, to ASD’s reasonable satisfaction, that the European Commission has accepted the bank guarantee in the form and amount provided by WABCO, the Escrowed Amount shall be released if ASD determines, in its good faith discretion, that clause (x) and (y) above have been satisfied (such guarantee being referred to herein as an “Accepted and Confirmed Bank Guarantee”), pursuant to a written instruction delivered by ASD to the escrow agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by WABCO. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the time WABCO provides or causes to be provided an Accepted an Confirmed Bank Guarantee in accordance with this Agreement (whether through an Early Payment or pursuant to this Section 4.1(b)(ii)), according to the standard practice of the European Commission, WABCO shall have the right, with the consent of ASD, to replace such bank guarantee, in whole or in part, with a provisional payment in the manner specified by the Initial Decision or as otherwise agreed by the European Commission and ASD.

(c) Interest. Any interest that accrues on the Escrowed Amount between the date such funds are deposited into the Escrow Account and the date such funds are released from the Escrow Account pursuant to any of subclauses (i) or (ii) above shall be delivered to WABCO, after deduction for any fees and expenses of the escrow agent and its reasonable expenses of outside advisors, at the time such Escrowed Amount is so released.

(d) Early Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.1, if (i) with the prior written consent of ASD, WABCO (on behalf of the WABCO Charged Parties and the B&K Charged Parties) pays or causes to be paid the Initial Decision Amount in cash to the European Commission prior to the Funding Date or (ii) WABCO (on behalf of the WABCO Charged Parties and the B&K Charged Parties) provides or causes to be provided prior to the Funding Date an Accepted an Confirmed Bank Guarantee (each, an “Early Payment”), neither WABCO nor any other Indemnitor shall have any obligation to deposit any funds into the Escrow Account on the Funding Date or thereafter.

Section 4.2 Letter of Credit. From and after the date hereof until the date (the “Release Date”) the Indemnitors pay the Escrowed Amount in cash to the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 4.1 (or the date an Early Payment is made) if a Change of Control of WABCO should occur, then, upon the demand of ASD, WABCO (or any such successor) shall be required to post a letter of credit or similar security obligation reasonably acceptable to ASD in respect of the Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement in an amount equal to $880,000,000 USD (which amount shall be converted to EURO at the time such letter of credit or similar security obligation is required to be posted, based on the prevailing exchange rate at the close of business on the second Business Day immediately prior to such time such letter of credit or similar security obligation is required to be posted) or, if an Initial Decision has been rendered, such other amount as may be specified in the Initial Decision; provided, however, in

the event of a Change of Control of WABCO, with ASD’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) in lieu of WABCO posting such letter of credit or similar security obligation, the Person acquiring WABCO may provide to ASD and the other Indemnitees a full, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the Indemnitors obligations hereunder. In the event of a Change of Control of WABCO, such letter of credit, similar security obligation or guarantee, as applicable, shall be posted or delivered at or prior to the consummation of such Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of such a letter of credit, similar security obligation or guarantee, as applicable, shall in no event relieve the Indemnitors (or their respective successors) with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement, and shall not result in a cap on the Indemnitors’ (or any respective successors) Indemnifiable Losses with respect thereto. The letter of credit or similar security obligation shall provide that, without any further action on the part of any Indemnitor, funds thereunder shall be released to ASD (or, at the direction of ASD, to the applicable Indemnitee) upon such time as ASD provides a written instruction to the applicable bank or other issuer of such letter of credit, that any such Indemnitee is entitled to be reimbursed for Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement. Upon such payment in full to the Indemnitees, the letter of credit shall be terminated.

Section 4.3 Public Announcements. No Party hereto shall issue any press release or make any similar public announcement or communication concerning any information relating to any Indemnifiable Matter, without the prior written consent of ASD (in the case of a public statement by any member of the WABCO Group or, following a B&K Sale, a statement by any B&K Charged Party) or WABCO (in the case of a public statement by any member of the ASD Group), in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either ASD or WABCO may make or cause to be made any such press release or similar public announcement or communication as such Party may deem necessary or appropriate, including in order to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of ASD or WABCO, as applicable, are listed; provided, that to the extent in the good faith judgment of ASD or WABCO it is reasonably practicable to do so, ASD or WABCO, as applicable, (x) will provide the other with a reasonable opportunity in light of the circumstances to review the intended communication and (y) consider in good faith modifications to the intended communication that are requested by the other. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, without the written consent of any Party, this Agreement may be filed as an exhibit to any periodic or current report filed by ASD or WABCO from and after the date hereof.

Section 4.4 Access to Information and Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that Sections 7.2 and 7.4 of the Distribution Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference but solely as they relate to the Indemnifiable Matters.

Section 4.5 B&K Buyer Parties Cooperation. ASD shall in good faith seek to include a provision in any definitive sale agreement relating to a B&K Sale (the “B&K Sale Agreement”) whereby WABCO would be a third party beneficiary of the obligations of the B&K Buyer Parties (i) to cooperate with WABCO in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings and (ii) to acknowledge that WABCO will have authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings on behalf of the B&K Charged Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties

acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Time, no agreement relating to a B&K Sale will have been finalized with any B&K Buyer Parties and that, as a result, neither ASD nor any B&K Charged Party can ensure that any of the provisions set forth in the first sentence hereof will be included in the B&K Sale Agreement. Therefore, WABCO acknowledges that ASD shall have no liability hereunder if any such definitive B&K Sale Agreement does not include such provisions for the benefit of WABCO.

Section 4.6 ASD Cooperation. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation on ASD to cooperate with WABCO or any of the WABCO Charged Parties and/or any of the B&K Charged Parties (or B&K Buyer Parties) with respect to the production of any documentation or information not subject to Section 3.3. that would, in the good faith judgment of ASD, prejudice in any respect any substantive, procedural or jurisdictional defenses that ASD may assert with respect to the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings. This Section 4.6 shall also apply in respect of the cooperation referred to in Section 3.2. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.6 shall not affect ASD’s obligation to cooperate to the extent that in the reasonable judgment of WABCO, ASD’s cooperation is required to assist WABCO with its substantive defense.

Section 4.7 ASD Election Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that WABCO delivers a WABCO Non-Appeal Notice and ASD responds by delivering an ASD Election Notice, in each case in accordance with Section 2.2, then:

(a) if the Escrowed Funds were released to the European Commission in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii) and the Initial Decision Amount is reduced on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, ASD in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then ASD shall have the right to, and the WABCO Charged Parties and B&K Charged Parties acknowledge that ASD shall be entitled to, the amount of such reduction, plus accrued interest on such reduction amount determined in accordance with the applicable rules in force in the European Union, which such amount shall be distributed to ASD when refunded by the European Commission;

(b) if, in lieu of the Escrowed Funds being released to the European Commission in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii), WABCO provided, or caused to be provided, a bank guarantee to the European Commission covering the Initial Decision Amount plus interest as required pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and the Initial Decision Amount is reduced on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, ASD in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then WABCO is hereby obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, to ASD a cash amount equal to the amount of such reduction; and the amount of the fine, as so reduced, plus accrued interest shall be paid by WABCO (or its designees (including bank guarantor as may be provided in the relevant bank guarantee)) to the European Commission in accordance with applicable rules in force in the European Union; and

(c) if the Initial Decision Amount is increased on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, ASD in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then ASD hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WABCO, the WABCO Charged Parties and the B&K Charged Parties from and against, and shall reimburse and be responsible for the payment to the European

Commission of, any such increased amount; it being understood that ASD is only responsible for the amount by which the fine was increased over the Initial Decision Amount and the Indemnitors remain responsible for, and indemnify the Indemnitees in accordance with Section 2.2 with respect to, the payment of the Initial Decision Amount plus accrued interest.

Section 4.8 WABCO Election Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that ASD delivers an ASD Non-Appeal Notice and WABCO responds by delivering a WABCO Election Notice, in each case in accordance with Section 2.2, then:

(a) if the Escrowed Funds were released to the European Commission in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii) and the Initial Decision Amount is reduced on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, WABCO or ASE, as applicable, in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then WABCO shall have the right to, and the ASD Charged Parties and B&K Charged Parties acknowledge that WABCO shall be entitled to, the amount of such reduction, plus accrued interest on such reduction amount determined in accordance with the applicable rules in force in the European Union, which such amount shall be distributed to WABCO when refunded by the European Commission;

(b) if, in lieu of the Escrowed Funds being released to the European Commission in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii), WABCO provided, or caused to be provided, a bank guarantee to the European Commission covering the Initial Decision Amount plus interest as required pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and the Initial Decision Amount is reduced on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, WABCO or ASE, as applicable, in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then WABCO shall have no obligation to pay, or cause to be paid, to ASD the amount of such reduction; and the amount of the fine, as so reduced, plus accrued interest shall be paid by WABCO (or its designees (including bank guarantor as may be provided in the relevant bank guarantee)) to the European Commission in accordance with applicable rules in force in the European Union; and

(c) if the Initial Decision Amount is increased on appeal following the rendering of a final resolution of the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (including the final judgment concluding the appeal process initiated by, or at the direction of, WABCO or ASE, as applicable, in connection with the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings) then the Indemnitors hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse and be responsible for the payment to the European Commission of, any such increased amount in addition to the Initial Decision Amount in accordance with Section 2.2 with respect to, the payment of the Initial Decision Amount plus accrued interest.

ARTICLE V

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 5.1 Negotiation. The Parties shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any dispute arising in connection with the Agreement (a “Dispute”) through negotiation. Within 10 days after notice of a Dispute is given by either ASD (on behalf of any Indemnitee) to WABCO (on behalf of any Indemnitor), or vice versa, ASD and the Indemnitor Representative shall select one or more representatives who are the general counsel or other senior executive officer of such disputing Party and such representatives shall meet and make a good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute and shall continue to negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve such Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceedings.

Section 5.2 Arbitration. If such representatives fail to resolve the Dispute within the 10 day period, unless otherwise mutually agreed by ASD and WABCO, ASD or WABCO shall have the right to submit such Dispute to final and binding arbitration. It is the intent of the Parties that any such arbitration be structured in such a way as to result in a resolution of such Dispute as promptly as practicable in accordance herewith. The arbitration panel shall consist of 3 members, one selected by ASD, one selected by WABCO and the third to be mutually agreed upon by ASD and WABCO. The Party instituting the arbitration proceeding shall provide notice to the other Parties describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute, the claims of the disputing Party and the requested relief. Within 15 days of receipt of a demand for arbitration, the other Party shall furnish the disputing Party with a written statement answering the claims, in reasonable detail, of the disputing Party. All Parties will provide all reasonable cooperation to the other Party and the arbitration panel in conducting the arbitration proceeding. The prevailing Party in any arbitration shall be entitled to expense reimbursement, including costs of attorneys’ and other professional fees, incurred in connection with the arbitration. In connection with any Dispute, the arbitration panel shall be obligated to apply solely principles of Law. Any arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Rules. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.3 Discovery. With respect to discovery in an arbitration proceeding, the arbitration panel must allow each Party to make discovery requests for documents of the other Parties where the information sought is reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence, and each Party agrees to respond to such discovery request within a reasonable time.

The arbitration panel shall be instructed to use best efforts to complete all arbitration hearings within 2 weeks from the date of the arbitrator’s appointment and render a decision within 1 month from such date. The arbitration panel shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings that is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, specific performance and other forms of legal and equitable relief. The Parties hereby waive any claim to exemplary, punitive, multiple or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, except as may be expressly required by statute or as necessary to indemnify a Party for a Third Party Claim and the arbitration panel is not empowered to and shall not award such damages. Any final award must provide that the Party against whom an award is issued shall comply with the order within a specified period of time, not to exceed 10 days.

Section 5.5 Pre-Hearing Procedure and Disposition. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party, from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Dispute, including to compel a Party to arbitrate any Dispute or to require witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitrator(s). Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties agree to accept and honor any orders relating to interim or provisional remedies that are issued by the arbitrator(s) and agree that any such interim order or remedy may be enforced, as necessary, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.3 Successors and Assigns; Additional WABCO Parties.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement, nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder, may be directly or indirectly assigned, delegated, sublicensed or transferred by any of the Indemnitors, in whole or in part, to any other Person without the prior written consent of ASD. ASD shall have the right, without the prior consent of the Indemnitors or any other Party hereto, at any time, to assign all or a portion of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement to any B&K Buyer Party. In addition, ASD may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates or in connection with a collateral assignment for the benefit of its lenders. Promptly following any such assignment

permitted pursuant to the prior two sentences, ASD shall provide written notice to the Indemnitor Representative and the other Parties of such assignment. WABCO may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates or in connection with a collateral assignment for the benefit of its lenders. Nothing in any such assignment relieves the Indemnitors of their obligations to ASD or any other Indemnitee.

(b) If, at any time following the Effective Time, any member of the WABCO Group (other than WABCO, ASE and WABCO Austria) becomes a named party in the Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures Proceedings (such newly named party, an “Additional WABCO Party” and collectively, the “Additional WABCO Parties”), WABCO shall cause the Additional WABCO Parties to execute and deliver one or more joinder agreements to this Agreement reasonably acceptable to ASD to the effect that such Additional WABCO Parties are parties hereto, that such Additional WABCO Parties agree to be bound by the obligations of the Indemnitors and the WABCO Charged Parties herein, and that any references to “WABCO Charged Parties” or “Indemnitors” in this Agreement and any obligation of the Indemnitors and the WABCO Charged Parties shall be deemed a collective reference to, and the joint and several obligations of, WABCO, the Indemnitors and such other Additional WABCO Parties.

Section 6.4 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the Parties hereto.

Section 6.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws, and not the Laws governing conflicts of Laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law), of the State of New York.

Section 6.6 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “New York Courts”), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding to compel arbitration or for provisional relief in aid of arbitration in accordance with this Agreement or for provisional relief to prevent irreparable harm, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the enforcement of any award issued thereunder. Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 6.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the New York Courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 6.6. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the New York Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 6.7 Specific Performance. The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Indemnitees would suffer irreparable damage in the event that the Indemnitors fail to perform any of their obligations under the Agreement in accordance with the specific

terms of the Agreement or otherwise breaches any such obligations or any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that remedies at law would be inadequate to protect the Indemnitees against any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Indemnitors. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Indemnitees, the Indemnitors agree to the granting of equitable relief in the Indemnitees favor, including injunctive relief to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement by the Indemnitors and specific performance requiring the Indemnitors to perform their obligations under this Agreement, in each case in an arbitration proceeding (without first complying with the negotiation provisions described above) or in court without proof of actual damages. WABCO shall reimburse the Indemnitees for reasonable legal fees and other costs incurred to enforce this Agreement.

Section 6.8 Further Assurances. WABCO hereby agrees to, and to cause the other Indemnitors to, execute and deliver, for the benefit of the Indemnitees (including any assignee of any Indemnitee permitted under this Agreement), such documents as may be reasonably requested by ASD (on behalf of the Indemnitees), evidencing the Indemnitors agreement that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by the Indemnitees and their permitted assigns.

Section 6.9 Construction. Unless otherwise stated, references to Articles and Sections are references to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnitees, to the extent not a Party hereto, and the B&K Buyer Parties or other assignees permitted under Section 6.3 shall, from and after any assignment of indemnification rights by ASD, be third party beneficiaries to enforce the rights to indemnification from the Indemnitors under this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 6.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Distribution Agreement, the Defense Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and any Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and thereto, shall constitute the entire agreement among the Parties

with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings, both written and verbal, among the Parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Distribution Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement and the Defense Agreement shall exclusively govern and control all the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Parties after the Effective Time with respect to the Indemnifiable Matters. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, nothing in the Agreement shall modify or limit the rights and remedies of ASD or WABCO under the Distribution Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than this Agreement) relating to, arising out of or resulting from any breach by ASD or WABCO of the Distribution Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than this Agreement). In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Indemnifiable Matters.

Section 6.14 No Circumvention. The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any of such Parties’ Affiliates to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is to undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, adversely affecting the rights or ability of Indemnitees to successfully pursue indemnification or payment pursuant to this Agreement).

Section 6.15 Survival. The rights and obligations of the Indemnitors and Indemnitees under the Agreement shall survive the sale or other transfer by any such Party of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or the sale by any Indemnitee or Indemnitor of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary to any Person, including, in each case, any Change of Control of such Party. In addition, if WABCO sells any other Indemnitor, the obligations of WABCO and such Indemnitor under this Agreement shall remain joint and several regardless of any arrangements made between WABCO, such Indemnitor and the Person that acquires such Indemnitor.

Section 6.16 Appointment of Indemnitor Representative.

(b) Notwithstanding any notice received by any Indemnitee to the contrary (except any notice of the appointment of a successor Indemnitor Representative approved by the Indemnitee) and absent bad faith or willful misconduct, each Indemnitee (i) shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, shall have no liability to any Indemnitor with respect to, actions, decisions and determinations of the Indemnitor Representative and (ii) shall be entitled to assume that all actions, decisions and determinations of the Indemnitor Representative are fully authorized by each of the Indemnitors.

Any actions taken, exercises of rights, power or authority and any decision or determination made by the Indemnitee Representative consistent therewith, shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each of the Indemnitees as if such Indemnitee personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Indemnitee’s individual capacity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any action required to be taken by any Indemnitee hereunder or any action which such Indemnitee, at its election, has the right to take hereunder, shall be taken only by the Indemnitee Representative and no Indemnite acting on its own shall be entitled to take any such action.
