SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This Separation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of June 4, 2008, among The Procter & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Company, an Ohio corporation (“Parent”), The Folgers Coffee Company, a Delaware corporation and presently a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Folgers”), and The ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Company, an Ohio corporation (“RMT Partner”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article VIII.

RECITALS

1. Parent is engaged, directly and indirectly, in the Coffee Business;

2. Parent has determined that it would be appropriate and desirable to separate the Coffee Business from Parent;

3. Parent has caused Folgers to be formed in order to facilitate such separation;

4. Parent currently owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Folgers (the “Folgers Common Stock”);

5. Parent and Folgers have each determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for Parent and certain of its Subsidiaries to contribute and transfer to Folgers, and for Folgers to receive and assume, directly or indirectly, certain Assets and Liabilities of the Coffee Business in exchange for (i) Parent’s receipt of shares of Folgers Common Stock calculated in accordance with the Transaction Agreement and (ii) the Cash Dividend as further described herein (the “Folgers Transfer”);

6. Parent and Folgers contemplate that, following the Folgers Transfer and Recapitalization, Parent will either (i) distribute all of the shares of Folgers Common Stock to Parent shareholders without consideration on a pro rata basis (the “One-Step Spin-Off”) or (ii) consummate an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) shares of Folgers Common Stock for currently outstanding shares of Parent’s common stock, without par value (“Parent Common Stock”) and, in the event that Parent’s shareholders subscribe for less than all of the Folgers Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, Parent will distribute, pro rata to its shareholders, any unsubscribed Folgers Common Stock on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer so that Parent will be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as having distributed all of the Folgers Common Stock to its shareholders (the “Clean-Up Spin-Off”);

7. The disposition by Parent of 100% of the Folgers Common Stock, whether by way of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer (followed by any Clean-Up Spin-Off) is referred to herein as the “Distribution”;

8. Parent and Folgers intend that the Folgers Transfer and the Distribution should qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, with respect to which no gain or loss should be recognized under Code Sections 361 and 355;

9. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization and within one year after the Distribution Date, Parent will distribute the Cash Dividend to Parent’s creditors in retirement of outstanding Parent indebtedness (the “Parent Cash Distribution”);

10. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Transaction Agreement”), among Parent, Folgers, RMT Partner and Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of RMT Partner (“Merger Sub”), immediately following the Distribution, Folgers and Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) and Folgers Common Stock will be converted into shares of common stock of RMT Partner on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Transaction Agreement;

11. The Parties intend that the execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement constitutes a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code; and

12. The Parties intend in this Agreement to set forth the principal arrangements among them regarding the Folgers Transfer and the Distribution.

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

I. TRANSFER OF THE COFFEE BUSINESS

1.1 Recapitalization of Folgers. Parent and Folgers will cause the following to occur at the Business Transfer Time:

(a) In consideration for the transfer of Assets contemplated by Section 1.2, Folgers will:

(i) issue to Parent shares of Folgers Common Stock as set forth in Section 1.2 of the Transaction Agreement (the “Folgers Stock Issuance”), which Folgers Common Stock, together with the 100 shares of Folgers Common Stock owned by Parent as of the date hereof, will constitute all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Folgers outstanding as of the Business Transfer Time;

(ii) declare a dividend in cash (which will be payable no later than immediately prior to the Distribution) in the amount of up to $350,000,000 (which will be reduced by the Shortfall Amount if Parent elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 7.1(b), as contemplated by Section 1.02(c) of the Transaction Agreement) (such dividend, the “Cash Dividend”), which will be payable to Parent as the sole stockholder of Folgers Common Stock; and

(iii) assume the Folgers Liabilities in accordance with Section 1.3 below.

(b) Credit Facility. Folgers, together with the other members of the Folgers Group, will enter into a credit facility with a third-party creditor or third-party creditors, with total available credit in the principal amount of $350,000,000 (which will be reduced by the Shortfall Amount if Parent elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 7.1(b), as contemplated by Section 1.02(c) of the Transaction Agreement), in accordance with the Folgers Credit Facility Commitment (such credit facility, the “Folgers Credit Facility,” and the entry into the Folgers Credit Facility, together with the Folgers Stock Issuance and the Cash Dividend, the “Recapitalization”).

(c) Cash Dividend. Folgers will borrow sufficient funds in the Recapitalization to allow it to promptly distribute to Parent an amount equal to the Cash Dividend. Parent will maintain the funds received from the Cash Dividend in a segregated account, and will take into account for Tax purposes all items of income, gain, deduction or loss associated with the funds while maintained in this segregated account. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization and within one year of the Distribution Date, Parent will effect the Parent Cash Distribution. Prior to effecting the Parent Cash Distribution, Parent will adopt a corporate resolution specifying that the distribution will be made from the funds maintained in the segregated account referenced above.

1.2 Transfer of Assets. Except as provided in Section 1.9(b), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Parent will assign, transfer, convey and deliver (“Convey”) (or will cause any applicable Subsidiary to Convey) to Folgers, or, to the extent set forth in Schedule 1.2, a Folgers Entity, and Folgers will accept from Parent, or the applicable Subsidiary of Parent, and will cause the applicable Folgers Entity to accept, all of Parent’s and its applicable Subsidiaries’ respective right, title and interest in and to all Folgers Assets (other than any Folgers Assets that are already held as of the Business Transfer Time by Folgers or a Folgers Entity, which Folgers Asset will continue to be held by Folgers or such Folgers Entity).

1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Parent will Convey (or will cause any applicable Subsidiary to Convey) to Folgers or, to the extent set forth on Schedule 1.3, a Folgers Entity, and Folgers will assume, perform, and fulfill when due and, to the extent applicable, comply with, or will cause any applicable Folgers Entity to assume, perform, and fulfill when due and, to the extent applicable, comply with, all of the Folgers Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms (other than any Folgers Liabilities that as of the Business Transfer Time is already a Liability of Folgers or a Folgers Entity, which Folgers Liability will continue to be a Liability of Folgers or such Folgers Entity). As between members of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and members of the Folgers Group, on the other hand, the members of the Folgers Group will be solely responsible for all Folgers Liabilities, on a joint and several basis.

1.4 Transfer of Excluded Assets; Excluded Liabilities. Subject to Section 1.9(b), prior to the Business Transfer Time (a) Parent will cause any applicable

Folgers Entity to Convey to Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (as set forth on Schedule 1.4) any Excluded Assets that it owns, leases or has any right to use, and Parent will accept from such member of the Folgers Group, and will cause an applicable Subsidiary of Parent to accept, all such respective right, title and interest in and to any and all of such Excluded Assets and (b) Parent will cause any applicable Folgers Entity to Convey any Excluded Liability for which it is otherwise responsible to Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (as set forth on Schedule 1.4), and Parent will assume, perform and fulfill when due, and to the extent applicable, comply with, or will cause the applicable Subsidiary of Parent to assume, perform and fulfill when due, and to the extent applicable, comply with, any and all of such Excluded Liabilities.

1.5 Misallocated Transfers. In the event that at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Business Transfer Time), either Party (or any member of the Parent Group or the Folgers Group, as applicable) is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Asset (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable) or Liability that is allocated to any Person that is a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (except in the case of any acquisition of Assets from the other Party for value subsequent to the Business Transfer Time), such Party will promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset or Liability to the Person so entitled thereto. Prior to any such transfer, such Asset will be held in accordance with Section 1.9(c).

1.6 Folgers Assets. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Folgers Assets” will mean, in each case to the extent existing and owned immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the following Assets:

(i) all computers and other electronic data processing equipment, fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture, office equipment, motor vehicles and other transportation equipment, special and general tangible tools, prototypes and models and other tangible personal property exclusively used in the Coffee Business, including those listed or described in Schedule 1.6(a)(i);

(iv) all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries of Parent listed on Schedule 1.6(a)(iv) (such stock, the “Folgers Entity Interests”, and such Subsidiaries, the “Folgers Entities”);

(viii) (A) all business and employment records exclusively related to the Coffee Business, including the corporate minute books and related stock records of the Folgers Entities, (B) all of FCC’s and MCC’s separate Tax Returns, and (C) all other books, records, ledgers, files, documents, correspondence, lists, plats, drawings, photographs, product literature (including historical), advertising and promotional materials, distribution lists, customer lists, supplier lists, studies, market and product share data (including historical), EAV’s by account listings, reports, operating, production and other manuals, manufacturing and quality control records and procedures, research and development files, and accounting and business books, records, files, documentation and materials, in all cases whether in paper, microfilm, microfiche, computer tape or disc, magnetic tape or any other form, that are exclusively related to the Coffee Business (collectively, the “Folgers Books and Records”); provided, that (x) none of clauses (A), (B) or (C) will include Intellectual Property in any such records, writings or other materials (which is the subject of clause (vii), above), (y) Parent will be entitled to retain a copy of the Folgers Books and Records, which will be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a), and (z) neither clause (A) nor (C) will be deemed to include any books, records or other items with respect to which it is not reasonably practicable to identify and extract the portion thereof exclusively related to the Coffee Business from the portions thereof that relate to businesses of Parent other than the Coffee Business;

(ix) all Assets reflected on the balance sheet (including the notes thereto) attached hereto as Schedule 1.6(a)(ix) (the “Folgers Balance Sheet”);

(x) all Assets that have been written off, expensed or fully depreciated that, had they not been written off, expensed or fully depreciated, would have been reflected in the Folgers Balance Sheet in accordance with the accounting principles and policies under which the Folgers Balance Sheet was prepared;

(xi) all Assets acquired by Parent or its Subsidiaries after the date of the Folgers Balance Sheet that would be reflected in the balance

sheet of Folgers as of the Business Transfer Time if such balance sheet was prepared using the same accounting principles and policies under which the Folgers Balance Sheet was prepared;

(xii) all rights to causes of action, lawsuits, judgments, claims and demands exclusively related to the Coffee Business, including those set forth on Schedule 1.6(a)(xii);

(xiv) all of the Assets set forth on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Schedule; and

(xv) any and all other Assets owned immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that are exclusively related to the Coffee Business; provided, however, that no Intellectual Property or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Assets will be deemed to be a Folgers Asset solely by reason of this clause (xv).

A single Asset may fall within more than one of clauses (i)-(xv) in this Section 1.6(a); such fact does not imply that (x) such Asset must be Conveyed more than once or (y) that any duplication of such Asset is required. The fact that an Asset may be excluded under one clause does not imply that it is not intended to be included under another. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (A) no Intellectual Property and (B) no Assets that are not exclusively related to the Folgers Business will be deemed to be included in clauses (ix)-(xi) of this Section 1.6(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Folgers Assets will not in any event include any of the following Assets (the “Excluded Assets”):

(i) the Assets listed or described on Schedule 1.6(b)(i);

(iii) Assets of any Coffee Business Compensation And Benefit Plan; and

(iv) any and all Assets that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Assets to be retained by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Folgers nor any of its Subsidiaries will acquire or be permitted to retain any right, title and interest in any Excluded Assets through the Conveyance of the Folgers Entity Interests, and that if any of the Folgers Entities owns, lease or has the right to use any such Excluded Assets, such Excluded Assets will be Conveyed to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.4.

(c) Any Assets of any member of the Parent Group not included in any of the clauses in Section 1.6(a) above are Excluded Assets and no Excluded Assets will be Folgers Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, all right, title and interest in and to the Excluded IP Assets are expressly retained by the Parent Group in all respects.

1.7 Folgers Liabilities. (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Folgers Liabilities” will mean each of the following, regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Business Transfer Time, or where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by Parent, Folgers, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates:

(i) the Liabilities listed or described on Schedule 1.7(a)(i) and all other Liabilities that are expressly provided by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Liabilities to be assumed by Folgers or any other member of the Folgers Group, and all Liabilities of Folgers or any other member of the Folgers Group under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(vi) all Liabilities, whether arising before, at or after the Business Transfer Time, to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(A) the operation of the Folgers Business or the ownership or use of the Folgers Assets at any time before, at or after the Business Transfer Time by any member of the Folgers Group, RMT Partner or any of their respective predecessors or, prior to the Business Transfer Time, any member of the Parent Group or any of their predecessors (relating to, arising out of or resulting from any act or failure to act by any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of any member of the Folgers Group or any of their predecessors or, prior to the Business Transfer Time, any member of the Parent Group or any of their predecessors (whether or not such act or failure to act is or was within such Person’s authority), including Liabilities with respect to Continuing Employees under those Compensation and Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 1.7(b)(iii)); or

(B) the operation of any other business conducted by any member of the Folgers Group or RMT Partner at any time after the Business Transfer Time (including any Liability relating to, arising out of or resulting from any act or failure to act by any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of any member of the Folgers Group (whether or not such act or failure to act is or was within such Person’s authority)); or

A single Liability may fall within more than one of clauses (i)-(vi) in this Section 1.7(a); such fact does not imply that (x) such Liability must be Conveyed more than once or (y) any duplication of such Liability is required. The fact that a Liability may be excluded under one clause does not imply that it is not intended to be included under another.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Folgers Liabilities will not in any event include any of the following Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”):

(i) the Liabilities listed or described on Schedule 1.7(b)(i);

(ii) all Liabilities of a member of the Parent Group to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Excluded Assets;

(iii) all Liabilities under any Compensation And Benefit Plans (whether or not listed in Section 3.10 of the Parent Disclosure Letter to the Transaction Agreement) or any other compensation or benefit plans, agreements or arrangements of the Parent Group, except for Liabilities with respect to Continuing Employees under those Compensation and Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 1.7(b)(iii); and

(iv) all Liabilities that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Liabilities to be retained or assumed by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, and all Liabilities of any member of the Parent Group under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Folgers nor any other member of the Folgers Group will be required to assume or retain any Excluded Liabilities as a result of the Conveyance of the Folgers Entity Interests, and that if any of the Folgers Entities is liable for any Excluded Liabilities, such Excluded Liabilities will be assumed by Parent as contemplated by Section 1.4.

(c) Any Liabilities of any member of the Parent Group not included in any of the clauses in Section 1.7(a) above are Excluded Liabilities and no Excluded Liabilities will be Folgers Liabilities.

1.8 Termination of Intercompany Agreements; Settlement of Intercompany Accounts. (a) Except as set forth in Section 1.8(b) and Section 1.8(c), Folgers, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Folgers Group, on the one hand, and Parent, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate any and all Contracts, whether or not in writing, between or among Folgers or any member of the Folgers Group, on the one hand, and Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, effective as of the Business Transfer Time. No such Contract (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) will be of any further force or effect after the Business Transfer Time and all parties shall be released from all Liabilities thereunder. Each Party will, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) The provisions of Section 1.8(a) will not apply to any of the following Contracts (or to any of the provisions thereof):

(i) this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and each other Contract expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be entered into or continued by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups);

(ii) any Contracts to which any Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates is a Party (it being understood that to the extent that the rights and Liabilities of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under any such Contracts constitute Folgers Assets or Folgers Liabilities, they will be Conveyed pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.3 or allocated pursuant to Section 1.8(c)); and

(iii) any other Contracts that this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement expressly contemplates will survive the Business Transfer Time.

(c) All of the intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts between Folgers or any Folgers Entity, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other tha Folgers and the Folgers Entities), on the other hand, in existence as of immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time (collectively, the

“Intercompany Accounts”) will netted against each other, and the balance will be, without further action, contributed to the equity of Folgers or distributed to Parent, as the case may be, such that, as of the Business Transfer Time, there are no Intercompany Accounts outstanding.

1.9 Governmental Approvals and Third-Party Consents. (a) Obtaining Consents. To the extent that the consummation of the Folgers Transfer or the Distribution requires any third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals, the Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consents or Governmental Approvals, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.9(b); provided, however, that Parent will not be required to make any payments or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain any such Consent, except to the extent that Folgers agrees to reimburse and make whole Parent to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction for any payment or other accommodation made by Parent at Folgers’ request. For the avoidance of doubt, the required efforts and responsibilities of the Parties (i) to seek the Consents necessary to provide the Services (as defined in the TSA) will be governed by Section 7.8 of the TSA and (ii) to seek approval pursuant to the HSR Act (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) and the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval shall be governed by the Transaction Agreement.

(b) Transfer in Violation of Laws or Requiring Consent or Governmental Approval. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected Conveyance to the Folgers Group of any Folgers Assets or to the Parent Group of any Excluded Asset would be a violation of applicable Laws or require any Consent or Governmental Approval in connection with the Folgers Transfer or the Distribution, then notwithstanding any other provision hereof the Conveyance to the Folgers Group of such Folgers Assets or to the Parent Group of such Excluded Asset will automatically be deferred and no Conveyance will occur until all legal impediments are removed or such Consents or Governmental Approvals have been obtained (except that Parent or RMT Partner may elect to require the immediate Conveyance of any Folgers Asset or Excluded Asset notwithstanding any requirement that an immaterial Consent or immaterial Governmental Approval be obtained, provided that (x) if RMT Partner so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any such Folgers Asset or Excluded Asset, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be deemed to be Folgers Liabilities, (y) if Parent so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any such Folgers Asset or Excluded Asset, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities, and (z) if RMT Partner and Parent jointly agree to immediately Convey such Folgers Asset or Excluded Asset, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be shared evenly between Folgers and Parent and, notwithstanding any provision in Section 4.5 to the contrary, the defense of any Third-Party Claim relating thereto will be jointly managed by Folgers and Parent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Asset will still be considered a Folgers Asset or Excluded Asset, as applicable, and will be subject to Section 1.9(c). The Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain any Consents or Governmental Approvals and to develop and implement arrangements to make such Asset available for use by (and the benefit of) the Person entitled to receive it pending removal of such legal impediments or obtaining such Consents or Governmental

Approvals. If and when the legal or contractual impediments the presence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset pursuant to this Section 1.9(b) are removed or any Consents and/or Governmental Approvals the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset pursuant to this Section 1.9(b) are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Asset will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or such applicable Ancillary Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Section 1.9(b) will terminate on the two-year anniversary of the Business Transfer Time.

(c) Conveyances Not Consummated Prior To or At the Business Transfer Time. If the Conveyance of any Assets intended to be Conveyed hereunder is not consummated prior to or at the Business Transfer Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 1.9(b) or for any other reason (including any misallocated transfers subject to Section 1.5), then the Person retaining such Asset will thereafter hold such Asset in trust for the benefit, insofar as reasonably possible (taking into account any applicable restrictions or considerations relating to the contemplated Tax treatment of the Transactions), of the Person entitled thereto (and at such Person’s sole expense) until the consummation of the Conveyance thereof (or as otherwise determined by Parent and Folgers, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.9(b)). In addition, the Person retaining such Asset will take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Asset is to be Conveyed (at such requesting Person’s expense) in order to place such Person, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset had been Conveyed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, any Tax liabilities in respect thereof and dominion, control and command over such Asset, are to inure from and after the Business Transfer Time to the Person to whom such Asset is to be transferred. The obligations set forth in this Section 1.9(c) will terminate on the two-year anniversary of the Business Transfer Time.

1.10 No Representation Or Warranty. Each of RMT Partner and Folgers acknowledges that neither Parent nor any member of the Parent Group makes any express or implied representation or warranty herein as to any matter whatsoever, including any representation or warranty with respect to: (a) the value of any Folgers Asset or the amount of any Folgers Liability; (b) the freedom from any Security Interest of any Folgers Asset; (c) the absence of defenses or freedom from counterclaims with respect to any claim to be Conveyed to Folgers or held by a member of the Folgers Group; or (d) any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. RMT Partner, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including after the Merger, Folgers), further acknowledges that all other warranties that Parent or any member of the Parent Group gave or might have given, or which might be provided or implied by applicable Law or commercial practice, are hereby expressly excluded. All Assets to be transferred to Folgers (and all of the Folgers Assets held by the Folgers Entities) will be transferred and are held “AS IS, WHERE IS” and from and after the Closing Folgers will bear the economic and legal risk that any Conveyance will prove to be insufficient to vest in Folgers good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security Interest or any necessary

Consents or Governmental Approvals that are not obtained or that any requirements of Laws are not complied with.

1.11 Waiver of Bulk-Sales Laws. Each of Parent and Folgers hereby waives compliance by each member of their respective Group with the requirements and provisions of the “bulk-sale” or “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the Assets to any member of the Parent Group or Folgers Group, as applicable.

1.12 Inventory and A/P Adjustment. (a) The Parties will negotiate in good faith to determine the anticipated amount of Inventory of the Coffee Business as of the Closing Date (the “Target Folgers Inventory Amount”) and the anticipated amount of Accounts Payable of the Coffee Business as of the Closing Date (the “Target Folgers A/P Amount”). For purposes of this Section 1.12, “Inventory” and “Accounts Payable” will be valued in the same manner in which they are valued in the Folgers Balance Sheet. Such determination will be made no later than 45 days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, and will reflect the Parties’ good faith estimate of what these levels would be in the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date, with agreed adjustments and/or adjustment mechanics taking into account, as appropriate to the measure in question, including seasonal fluctuations, variations based on sales volume and market conditions, changes in commodity prices and other factors that have historically affected levels of Inventory and Accounts Payable.

(b) Within 60 days following the Business Transfer Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to RMT Partner a statement setting forth the type and value of the Inventory and the amount of Accounts Payable, as of the Business Transfer Date, calculated consistent with the accounting principles and policies under which the Folgers Balance Sheet was prepared (the “Closing Adjustment Statement”). Upon the reasonable request of Parent, RMT Partner will provide (or will cause a member of the Folgers Group to provide) to Parent and its accountants access to the books and records, any other information, including working papers of its accountants, and to any employees of Folgers or any other member of the Folgers Group necessary for Parent to prepare the Closing Adjustment Statement, to respond to the RMT Partner Objection and to prepare materials for presentation to the Accounting Firm in connection with Section 1.12 and RMT Partner will otherwise cooperate with and assist Parent as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 1.12.

(c) For a period of 45 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement, Parent will make available to RMT Partner all books, records, work papers, personnel (including their accountants and employees) and other materials and sources used by Parent to prepare the Closing Adjustment Statement and not already in the possession or under the control of RMT Partner. The Closing Adjustment Statement will be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, RMT Partner unless RMT Partner shall have notified Parent in writing within 45 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement of any good faith objection thereto (the “RMT Partner Objection”). Any RMT Partner Objection will set forth a description of the basis of the RMT Partner Objection and the adjustments to the value of Inventory and the amount of

Accounts Payable reflected on the Closing Adjustment Statement which RMT Partner believes should be made. Any items not disputed during the foregoing 45 day period will be deemed to have been accepted by RMT Partner.

(d) If Parent and RMT Partner are unable to resolve any of their disputes with respect to the Closing Adjustment Statement within 30 days following Parent’s receipt of the RMT Partner Objection to such Closing Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 1.12(c), they will refer their remaining differences to an nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which Parent and RMT Partner mutually agree (the “Accounting Firm”) for a decision, which decision will be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm will act as an arbitrator and not an expert and will address only those items in dispute and for each item may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Any expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm will be shared equally by Parent, on one hand, and RMT Partner, on the other hand.

(e) The Closing Adjustment Statement will become final and binding on the Parties upon the earliest of (i) if no RMT Partner Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which RMT Partner must make its objection pursuant to Section 1.12(c) hereof, (ii) agreement in writing by Parent and RMT Partner that the Closing Adjustment Statement, together with any modifications thereto agreed by Parent and RMT Partner, will be final and binding, and (iii) the date on which the Accounting Firm issues its written determination with respect to any dispute relating to such Closing Adjustment Statement. The Closing Adjustment Statement, as submitted by Parent if no timely RMT Partner Objection has been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the Parties or as determined pursuant to the decision of the Accounting Firm, when final and binding on all Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, is herein referred to as the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement.”

(f) Within five business days following issuance of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement, the net adjustment payment payable pursuant to this Section 1.12(f) (the “Adjustment Payment”) and interest thereon will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Parent or Folgers, as the case may be. The Adjustment Payment will be equal to (1) the value of the Inventory minus the value of the Accounts Payable, each as reflected on the Final Closing Adjustment Statement; minus (B) the Target Folgers Inventory Amount minus the Target Folgers A/P Amount; provided, however, that the Adjustment Payment will be deemed to be zero, and no payment will be made to either Folgers or Parent pursuant to this Section 1.12, if the absolute value of the Adjustment Payment is less than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000). The Adjustment Payment, if any, will be payable by Folgers to Parent, if positive, and if the Adjustment Payment is negative, an amount equal to the absolute value of such Adjustment Payment will be payable by Parent to Folgers. The Adjustment Payment will bear interest from the Distribution Date to the date of payment at the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal, Northeastern Edition) in effect on the Distribution Date, which interest will be calculated on the basis

of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and such interest will be paid on the same date and in the same manner as such Adjustment Payment.

1.13 Exemption Certificates. Parent shall cause Folgers or a Subsidiary of Folgers, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parent on or before the Business Transfer Date properly executed resale exemption certificates and requisite tax registration numbers for the Folgers Inventory (and, where relevant in accordance with applicable local Law, for any tangible personal property and any other Folgers Assets), and such other certificates and documentation as may be required to reasonably evidence any exemption from transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties, as applicable, are and remain responsible for all transfer Taxes in accordance with the Tax Matters Agreement.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 2.5) or in any Ancillary Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction and waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, the effective time and date of each Conveyance and assumption of any Asset or Liability in accordance with Article I in connection with the Folgers Transfer will be 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the anticipated Distribution Date (such time, the “Business Transfer Time”, and such date the “Business Transfer Date”).

(ii) Resignations of each of the individuals who serve as an officer or director of members of the Parent Group as set forth on Schedule 2.2(b)(ii) in their capacity as such and the resignations of any other Persons that will be employees of any member of the Folgers Group after the Business Transfer Time and that are directors or officers of any member of the Parent Group, to the extent requested by Parent.

2.3 Transfer of Folgers Assets and Assumption of Folgers Liabilities. In furtherance of the Conveyance of Folgers Assets and the assumption of Folgers Liabilities provided in Section 1.2 and Section 1.3, on the Business Transfer Date (a) Parent will execute and deliver, and will cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, stock powers, certificates of title, assignments of Contracts and other instruments of Conveyance, as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the Folgers Transfer of all of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ (other tha Folgers and its Subsidiaries) right, title and interest in and to the Folgers Assets to Folgers and its Subsidiaries and (b) Folgers will execute and deliver such assumptions of Contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Folgers Liabilities by Folgers. All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.3, including the documents set forth on Schedule 2.3, will be referred to collectively herein as the “Parent Transfer Documents.”

2.4 Transfer of Excluded Assets; Assumption of Excluded Liabilities. In furtherance of the Conveyance of Excluded Assets and the assumption of Excluded

Liabilities provided in Section 1.4: (a) Folgers will execute and deliver, and will cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, certificates of title, assignments of Contracts and other instruments of Conveyance as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the Conveyance of all of Folgers’ and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Assets to Parent and its Subsidiaries and (b) Parent will execute and deliver such assumptions of Contracts as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Excluded Liabilities by Parent. All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.4, including the documents set forth on Schedule 2.4, will be referred to collectively herein as the “Folgers Transfer Documents” and, together with the Parent Transfer Documents, the “Transfer Documents.”

2.5 Timing of Business Transfer and Closing. Subject to the provisions of Schedule 2.5, (a) the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Transfer Date, Distribution Date and Closing Date to occur on the final Business Day of a calendar month, and (b) in the event that it is anticipated that, in spite of the preceding sentence, the Distribution Date and Closing Date are anticipated to occur on a date that is not the final Business Day of a calendar month, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Distribution Date and Closing Date to occur as soon after the final Business Day of a calendar month as reasonably practicable.

III. THE DISTRIBUTION

3.1 Form and Manner of Distribution. (a) Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect the Distribution in the form of either (i) a One-Step Spin-Off or (ii) an Exchange Offer (including any Clean-Up Spin-Off, as set forth below); provided, however, that, assuming all other requirements are satisfied, Parent will effect the Distribution as an Exchange Offer (and any Clean-Up Spin-Off) in the event Parent’s counsel determines that it can only deliver the written opinion referenced in Section 6.03(e) of the Transaction Agreement if Parent effects the Distribution in such manner.

(b) If Parent elects to effect the Distribution in the form of a One-Step Spin-Off, the Board of Directors of Parent, in accordance with applicable Law, will establish (or designate Persons to establish) a Record Date and the Distribution Date and Parent will establish appropriate procedures in connection with the Distribution. All shares of Folgers Common Stock held by Parent on the Distribution Date will be distributed to the Record Holders in the manner determined by Parent and in accordance with Section 3.2(f).

(c) If Parent elects to effect the Distribution as an Exchange Offer, Parent will determine the terms of such Exchange Offer, including the number of shares of Folgers Common Stock that will be offered for each validly tendered shares of Parent Common Stock, the period during which such Exchange Offer will remain open, the procedures for the tender and exchange of shares and all other terms and conditions of such Exchange Offer, which will comply with securities Law requirements applicable to such Exchange Offer. In the event that Parent’s shareholders subscribe for less than all

of the Folgers Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, Parent will consummate the Clean-Up Spin-Off on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer.

3.2 The Distribution. (a) To the extent the Distribution is effected as a One-Step Spin-Off, subject to the terms thereof, in accordance with Section 3.2(f), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive for each share of Parent Common Stock held by such Record Holder a number of shares of Folgers Common Stock equal to the total number of Folgers Common Stock held by Parent on the Distribution Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is number of Parent Common Stock held by such Record Holder and the denominator of which is the total amount of Parent Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Date.

(b) Subject to the terms thereof, to the extent the Distribution is effected as an Exchange Offer, each Parent shareholder may elect in the Exchange Offer to exchange a number of Parent Common Stock held by such Parent shareholder for shares of Folgers Common Stock in such quantities, at such an exchange ratio and subject to such other terms and conditions as may be determined by Parent and set forth in the Folgers Form 10/S-4.

(c) None of the Parties hereto will be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Folgers Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) that are delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(d) Parent and Folgers, as the case may be, will be entitled, and may instruct the transfer agent or the exchange agent in the Distribution, as applicable, to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the Code or any provision of local or foreign Tax Law. Any withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the persons otherwise entitled thereto.

(e) The terms and conditions of any Clean-Up Spin-Off will be as determined by Parent in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(a).

(f) Upon the consummation of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.02 of the Transaction Agreement), a global certificate representing the Folgers Common Stock being distributed in the One-Step Spin-Off or exchanged in the Exchange Offer, as the case may be, for the account of the Parent shareholders that are entitled thereto. Upon a Clean-Up Spin-Off, if any, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent an additional global certificate representing the Folgers Common Stock being distributed in the Clean-Up Spin-Off for the account of the Parent shareholders that are entitled thereto. The Exchange Agent shall hold such certificate or certificates, as the case may be, for the account of the Parent shareholders pending the Merger, as provided in Article II of the Transaction Agreement.

3.3 Plan of Reorganization. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for the Transactions under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, (i) Parent will complete the Distribution through either (a) a One-Step Spin-Off or (b) the Exchange Offer and any Clean-Up Spin-Off (which Clean-Up Spin-Off will be completed on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer) and (ii) Folgers will merge with Merger Sub immediately following the Distribution.

IV. MUTUAL RELEASES; INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Release Of Pre-Business Transfer Time Claims. (a) Folgers Release. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Folgers does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Folgers Group, and their respective successors and assigns, remise, release and forever discharge the Parent Indemnitees from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur at or before the Business Transfer Time or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Business Transfer Time, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Folgers Transfer and the Distribution.

(b) Parent Release. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Parent does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Parent Group, and their respective successors and assigns, remise, release and forever discharge the Folgers Indemnitees from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur at or before the Business Transfer Time or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Business Transfer Time, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement any of the Folgers Transfer and the Distribution.

(c) No Impairment. Nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b) will limit or otherwise affect any Party’s rights or obligations pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any Other RMT Agreements, in each case in accordance with its terms, including (i) the obligation of Folgers to assume and satisfy the Folgers Liabilities, (ii) the obligation of Parent to retain, assume and satisfy the Excluded Liabilities, and (iii) the obligations of Parent and Folgers to perform their obligations and indemnify each other under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(d) No Actions as to Released Pre-Business Transfer Time Claims. Neither Folgers nor RMT Partner will, and will cause each of their respective Affiliates not to, make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Parent or

any member of the Parent Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). Parent will not, and will cause each other member of the Parent Group not to, make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Folgers, RMT Partner or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

4.2 Indemnification By RMT Partner and the Folgers Group. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of the Transaction Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, RMT Partner, Folgers, and each of the Folgers Entities will, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Parent Indemnitees from and against, and will reimburse such Parent Indemnitees with respect to, any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise, whether prior to or following the Business Transfer Time, out of any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Folgers Liabilities and the Liabilities of the Folgers Entities, including the failure of Folgers or any other member of the Folgers Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full, any such Liabilities; and

(b) any breach by RMT Partner, Folgers or any other member of the Folgers Group of any obligations to be performed by such Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement subsequent to the Business Transfer Time.

4.3 Indemnification By Parent. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of the Transaction Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, Parent will, and will cause each other member of the Parent Group to, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Folgers Indemnitees from and against, and will reimburse such Folgers Indemnitee with respect to, any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise, whether prior to or following the Business Transfer Time, out of any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any Excluded Liability, including the failure of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full such Liabilities; and

(b) any breach by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group of any obligations to be performed by such Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement subsequent to the Business Transfer Time.

4.4 Reductions For Insurance Proceeds And Other Recoveries. (a) Insurance Proceeds. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3, as applicable, will be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance

Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from unaffiliated third-parties (and excluding any captive insurance companies of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates) by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss (net of any corresponding increase in premium payments or other related increases in insurance expenses of the Indemnitee). The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third-party in respect of any indemnifiable Loss will not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather, the Indemnifying Party will make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnitee for Insurance Proceeds or against such third-party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third-party will be (i) entitled to a “wind-fall” or other benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or otherwise have any subrogation rights with respect thereto or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

(b) Tax Detriment/Tax Benefit. In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary and except for any post-Distribution interest, any amount payable by Folgers to Parent under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the Transactions, as an inter-company distribution, and any amount payable by Parent to Folgers under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the Transactions, as a contribution to capital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3, as applicable, will be (i) decreased to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item, and (ii) increased to take into account any Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the receipt of the relevant indemnity payment. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 4.4(b) and will be reduced or increased to reflect any applicable Tax benefit or Tax cost, as the case may be, within 30 days after the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) realizes such Tax benefit or incurs such Tax cost by way of a refund, an increase in Taxes or otherwise. In the event of a Final Determination relating to the Indemnitee’s (or an Affiliate’s) incurrence or payment of an indemnified item and/or receipt of an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 4.4(b), the Indemnitee will, within 30 days of such Final Determination, provide the other party with notice thereof and supporting documentation addressing, in reasonable detail, the amount of any reduction or increase in Taxes of the Indemnitee (or its Affiliate) resulting from such Final Determination, and the parties will promptly make any payments necessary to reflect the relevant reduction or increase in Tax liability.

4.5 Procedures For Defense, Settlement And Indemnification Of Third-Party Claims. (a) Direct Claims. All claims made hereunder by (i) any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, against RMT Partner or any member of the Atom Group, on the other hand, or (ii) by RMT Partner or any member of the Folgers Group, on the one hand, against any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand

(collectively, “Direct Claims”), will be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VI.

(b) Third Party Claims. (i) Notice Of Claims. If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Parent Group or RMT Partner or any of its Affiliates (including after the Merger, the Folgers Group) of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (a “Claims Notice”) thereof but in any event within 15 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 4.5(b)(i) will not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

(ii) Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnitee of the commencement or assertion of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article IV, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the (A) defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, (x) if Parent is the Indemnifying Party, affect RMT Partner or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including after the Merger, any member of the Folgers Group) in a materially adverse manner and (y) if RMT Partner or Folgers is the Indemnifying Party, affect Parent or any of its Controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner; (B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages and/or equitable relief (with or without monetary damages) which equitable relief would not reasonably be expected to affect in any material and adverse respect the operations of (x) Parent or its Controlled Affiliates, if RMT Partner or Folgers is the Indemnifying Party, or (y) RMT Partner or its Controlled Affiliates (including after the Merger, any member of the Folgers Group), if Parent is the Indemnifying Party; and (C) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees with the Indemnitee in writing to be fully responsible for all of the Losses that arise from the Third-Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). For purposes of clause (C) of the preceding sentence, if a Third-Party Claim consists of multiple claims by a plaintiff or group of plaintiffs, and it is reasonably practicable for an Indemnifying Party to control the defense of a subset of the such claims, the Indemnifying Party may elect to agree to be fully responsible for only all of the Losses that arise from such subset of claims, and may elect to control the defense of only such subset of claims, provided that the other Litigation Conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence are satisfied. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 4.5(b), the

Indemnitee may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 4.5(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if (x) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee has the right to settle any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Cooperation In Defense And Settlement. With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which RMT Partner or Folgers, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, may have Liability under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost.

(b) Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.5, Parent may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all Actions pending at the Business Transfer Time which relate to or arise out of the Coffee Business, the Folgers Assets or the Folgers Liabilities if such Action also relates to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and a member of the Parent Group is also named as a target or defendant thereunder (but excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection with the Coffee Business, the Folgers Assets or the Folgers Liabilities); provided that, (i) Parent will consult with Folgers on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (ii) if Parent fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Action, Folgers may assume such defense, and Parent will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, (iii) Folgers has the right to participate in (but, subject to clause (ii) above, not control) the defense of such Action, and (iv) Parent must obtain

the written consent of Folgers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Action if such settlement, consent or judgment would require Folgers to change its business practices or incur any Liabilities with respect thereto. After any such compromise, settlement, consent to entry of judgment or entry of judgment, Parent will in good faith reasonably allocate to Folgers and Folgers will be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, Folgers’ proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Folgers Business, the Folgers Assets or the Folgers Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same.

(c) Substitution. In the event of an Action that involves solely matters that are indemnifiable and in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party so requests, the Parties will endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and obligations of the Parties regarding indemnification and the management of the defense of claims as set forth in this Article IV will not be affected.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Not Applicable to Taxes. Except for Section 4.4(b) and as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement, including Section 1.7(a), will not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Matters Agreement).

(d) Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Section 5.2 are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement.

(e) Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting Information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs,

The Parties agree that all discussions, negotiations and other Information exchanged between the Parties during the foregoing escalation proceedings or those in Section 6.2 below will be without prejudice to the legal position of a Party in any subsequent Action.

If the Dispute has not been resolved by the negotiation procedures as provided in Section 6.1 within 40 Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Escalation Notice, or if the Parties failed to meet within 40 Business Days after delivery, the Parties will endeavor to settle the Dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Parties will not be restricted in the

identities of mediators that they may propose to utilize in the mediation. If the Dispute is not resolved in mediation (or if the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator), either Party will have the right to begin arbitration and submit an Arbitration Demand Notice in accordance with Section 6.4.

6.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of its respective Group: (a) that any dispute, controversy or claim (a “Dispute”) governed by this Article VI will be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as then currently in effect (the “Arbitration Rules”), as the rules may be modified in this Agreement; (b) that the procedures set forth in this Article VI will be the sole and exclusive manner by which any Dispute relating to any of the foregoing matters will be claimed and irrevocably waives any right to begin any Action in or before any Governmental Authority; and (c) that it irrevocably waives any right to any trial by jury with respect to any Dispute between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

6.4 Demand for Arbitration. At any time after the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 are completed, any Party involved in the Dispute may make a written demand (the “Arbitration Demand Notice”) that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration, which Arbitration Demand Notice will be given to the Parties to the Dispute in the manner set forth in Section 8.4. Subject to Section 6.8, on delivery of an Arbitration Demand Notice, the Dispute will be decided by an arbitration panel in accordance with the rules set forth in this Article VI.

6.5 Forum. The forum for arbitration under this Article VI will be agreed on by the Parties or, in the absence of any agreement, will be in a venue located in Franklin County, Ohio.

6.6 Selection of Arbitrators. (a) Arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators selected as provided in this Article VI. In connection with any arbitration hereunder, each Party will select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected will select a third arbitrator within ten days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. In connection with the selection of the arbitrators, consideration will be given to familiarity with corporate transactions and experience in dispute resolution between Parties, as a judge or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the rules of the American Arbitration Association relating to the selection of arbitrators and the location of arbitrations will not apply to arbitrations hereunder.

(b) If an arbitrator cannot continue to serve, a successor will be selected as specified in Section 6.6(a). If such withdrawal occurs after the arbitration hearing has begun but before a final decision has been delivered, a full rehearing will be held if, and only if, the remaining arbitrators unanimously agree that a rehearing is appropriate.

6.7 Arbitration Decision. (a) The final decision of the arbitration panel will be rendered in writing to the Parties not later than 60 days after the last hearing date, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The decision of the arbitration panel will be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be had and will be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. Arbitration awards will bear interest from the date that they are awarded at an annual rate equal to (i) the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal, Northeastern Edition), plus (ii) 3% per annum, commencing at the time the award is rendered.

(b) The arbitrator or arbitrators will be guided, but not bound, by the Federal Rules of Evidence and by the procedural rules, including discovery provisions, of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any discovery will be limited to Information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration.

6.8 Arbitration Panel’s Authority. The arbitration panel will give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and follow applicable Law and will have full power and authority to determine whether issues may be subjected to arbitration hereunder and to interpret or construe the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of this Agreement (including interim or permanent injunctive relief). The arbitration panel will not have any right or authority (i) in excess of the authority a court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the Dispute would have absent these arbitration provisions, (ii) to award any punitive, exemplary, special, consequential or similar damages or any diminution in value or indirect damages (including lost profits, revenues or opportunities), except, in each case, to the extent that such damages are included in the definition of “Damages” in connection with an arbitration relating to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim, or (iii) to modify the terms of this Agreement. If a Party fails or refuses to appear at and participate in an arbitration hearing after due notice, the arbitrator may hear and determine the controversy on evidence produced by the appearing Party.

6.9 Continuity of Performance and Remaining Obligations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the dispute resolution under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to all matters not subject to the Dispute.

6.10 Law Governing Arbitration Procedures. The interpretation of the provisions of this Article VI, only insofar as they relate to the agreement to arbitration and any procedures pursuant thereto, will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal Law.

8.12 Counterparts.
