TRANSACTION AGREEMENT

This Transaction Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated July 8, 2015, is among The Procter & Xxxxxx Company, an Ohio corporation (“Parent”), Galleria Co., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”), Coty Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”) and Green Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”).

RECITALS

1.Parent is engaged, directly and indirectly through certain of its Subsidiaries, in the Galleria Business.

2.Parent has determined that it would be appropriate and desirable to separate the Galleria Business from Parent and to divest the Galleria Business in the manner contemplated hereby.

3.Parent has caused SplitCo to be formed in order to facilitate such separation and divestiture.

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

5.Parent has determined that, subject to the terms and conditions herein, it would be appropriate and desirable for Parent and certain of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Convey to SplitCo or the Galleria Entities, as applicable, certain Assets of the Galleria Business in exchange for (i) the assumption by SplitCo or the other members of the Galleria Group, as applicable, of certain Liabilities of the Galleria Business and (ii) Parent’s receipt of shares of SplitCo Common Stock and the Recapitalization Amount, all as provided herein.

6.The Parties contemplate that the Galleria Business will be transferred to SplitCo as provided herein, and in connection therewith the Recapitalization will take place, including SplitCo’s entry into the Galleria Credit Facility and SplitCo’s payment of the Recapitalization Amount.

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

8.The disposition by Parent of 100% of the SplitCo 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”.

9.Immediately after the Distribution, Merger Sub, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Acquiror, will merge with and into SplitCo and SplitCo Common Stock will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock (“Acquiror New Common Stock”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

10.The Boards of Directors of Parent, SplitCo, Acquiror and Merger Sub have each approved and declared advisable the Merger of Merger Sub with and into SplitCo.

11.No later than 24 hours following execution of this Agreement, it is anticipated that the holders of shares of common stock of Acquiror representing at least a majority of the voting power of Acquiror will execute and deliver to Acquiror a written consent, in accordance with and pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, approving (i) the issuance of shares of Acquiror New Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) increasing the number of authorized shares of capital stock of Acquiror and (iii) amending the Acquiror’s certificate of incorporation. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, JAB Cosmetics B.V., as the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, is entering into a letter agreement with Parent regarding the conversion of all such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock as of two Business Days prior to the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such letter agreement (the “JAB Letter Agreement”).

12.It is intended that (i) the Galleria Transfer, together with the Distribution, qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) the Distribution, as such, qualify as a distribution of SplitCo Common Stock to Parent’s shareholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Code, (iii) the Merger qualify as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code, (iv) any Parent Cash Distribution qualify as money distributed to Parent creditors in connection with the reorganization for purposes of Section 361(b)(3) of the Code, and (v) the execution of this Agreement constitute a plan of reorganization under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g).

13.Pursuant to the plan of reorganization and within one year after the Distribution Date, Parent will effect any Parent Cash Distribution to Parent’s creditors in retirement of outstanding Parent Indebtedness in the manner described in this Agreement.

14.Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Acquiror are entering into the Split Plan Agreement.

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

This reorganization will include the Galleria Transfer and a restructuring of the Galleria Business as contemplated by Section 5.21 (the Galleria Transfer, together with the activities set forth in Sections 5.21, 6.02 and 6.03, collectively, the “Restructuring”).

(b)SplitCo. SplitCo was formed as a Delaware corporation and will hold and conduct, directly and indirectly through its Subsidiaries, the Galleria Business. Parent will not cause or permit SplitCo to engage in any activity not contemplated by this Agreement, and prior to the Closing SplitCo will not operate any business other than the Galleria Business. In connection with the Restructuring, SplitCo and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries will become the owner of the Galleria Assets and will assume the Galleria Liabilities.

(c)Business Transfer Time. Subject to the satisfaction and waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the effective time and date of each Conveyance and assumption of any Asset or Liability in accordance with this Article I in connection with the Galleria Transfer will be 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the anticipated Closing Date (such time, the “Business Transfer Time,” and such date the “Business Transfer Date”).

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

1.04 Transfer of Excluded Assets; Excluded Liabilities. Except as provided in Section 1.08, prior to the Business Transfer Time, (a) Parent will cause any applicable Galleria Entity to Convey to Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent any Excluded Assets that it owns, leases or has any right to use, and Parent will accept from such member of the Galleria Group, and will cause an applicable Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Galleria Entity) 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 Galleria Entity to Convey any Excluded Liability for which it is otherwise responsible to Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Galleria Entity), 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, all of such Excluded Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms.

The Parties will use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) continue to seek to remove any legal impediments or secure any contractual Consents required from third parties necessary to Convey such Asset and (ii) develop and implement arrangements to place the Person entitled to receive such Asset, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or the relevant Contract, in the same position as if such Asset had been Conveyed as contemplated hereby such 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 such Person. If and when the applicable legal or contractual impediments are removed or the applicable Consents are obtained, the Conveyance of the applicable Asset will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such applicable Ancillary Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Section 1.08 will terminate on the two-year anniversary of the Closing.

(ii) Parent shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each Shared Business Contract to be assigned in relevant part to a Galleria Entity on or prior to the Business Transfer Time or to appropriately amend such Shared Business Contract to the extent permitted by applicable Law or the relevant Shared Business Contract so that Acquiror or its Affiliates will, at and following the Closing, be entitled to the rights and benefits inuring to the Galleria Business under such Shared Business Contracts, and any such amended Shared Business Contract will be treated by the Parties as a separate Contract for all purposes. In addition, Parent will provide Acquiror with contact information for such third parties and introduce representatives of the Acquiror Group to Parent’s contacts at such third parties.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.08 to the contrary, no member of the Parent Group nor any of its Affiliates will be required to undertake any action or arrangement contemplated by this Section 1.08 (i) if Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that such arrangement or action would materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) if such arrangement is not in compliance with applicable Law (or the relevant Shared Business Contract).

II. THE DISTRIBUTION AND MERGER

2.01 Form and Manner of Distribution. (a) Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect the Distribution in the form of either (i) so long as Parent reasonably believes the condition set forth in Section 7.03(d) would be capable of being satisfied, a One-Step Spin-Off or (ii) an Exchange Offer (including any Clean-Up Spin-Off, as set forth below).

(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. All shares of SplitCo 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 2.02(e).

(c)If Parent elects to effect the Distribution as an Exchange Offer, Parent will determine in its sole discretion the terms and conditions of such Exchange Offer, including the number of shares of SplitCo Common Stock that will be offered for each validly tendered share 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; provided, that in any event, Parent shall extend the expiration date of such Exchange Offer for one or more consecutive increments of not more than 20 Business Days each (the length of such period to be determined by Parent in consultation with Acquiror), if, as of any otherwise scheduled expiration of the Exchange Offer, any condition to the Exchange Offer or the closing of the Merger, other than those conditions that are to be satisfied on the date the expiration of the Exchange Offer or the closing of the Merger, has not been satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under applicable Laws), it being understood that no such extension shall extend the expiration date of such Exchange Offer to a time later than, the earlier of (1) the date that is 60 Business Days after the satisfaction of all conditions to such Exchange Offer and the closing of the Merger, other than the Minimum Condition and those conditions that are to be satisfied on the date of expiration of the Exchange Offer or the closing of the Merger, (2) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (3) the End Date. In the event that Parent’s shareholders subscribe for less than all of the SplitCo Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition), Parent will consummate the Clean-Up Spin-Off on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer.

2.02 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 2.02(e), 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 SplitCo Common Stock equal to the total number of shares of SplitCo Common Stock held by Parent on the Distribution Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares 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 shares of Parent Common Stock held by such Parent shareholder for shares of SplitCo Common Stock subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SplitCo Form 10/S-4.

(c)Parent and SplitCo, as the case may be, will instruct the transfer agent or the Exchange Agent in the Distribution, as applicable, to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto.

(d)The terms and conditions of any Clean-Up Spin-Off will be as determined by Parent in its sole discretion, provided that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) any SplitCo Common Stock that is not subscribed for in the Exchange Offer must be distributed to the Parent’s shareholders in the Clean-Up Spin-Off, and (ii) such Clean-Up Spin-Off must take place on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer so that Parent may be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as having distributed all of the SplitCo Common Stock to Parent’s shareholders.

(e)Upon the consummation of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer, Parent will deliver to the Exchange Agent a global certificate representing the SplitCo Common Stock 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 will deliver to the Exchange Agent an additional global certificate representing the SplitCo Common Stock distributed in the Clean-Up Spin-Off for the account of the Parent shareholders that are entitled thereto. The Exchange Agent will hold such certificate or certificates, as the case may be, for the account of the Parent shareholders pending the Merger.

2.03 Plan of Reorganization. This Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, (a) Parent will complete the Distribution through either (i) a One-Step Spin-Off or (ii) the Exchange Offer and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Clean-Up Spin-Off (as described above) and (b) immediately following the Distribution, Merger Sub will merge with and into SplitCo with SplitCo surviving.

2.04 The Merger. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged (the “Merger”) with and into SplitCo in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL.

(b)The Merger will be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and as is agreed to by Parent and Acquiror, the “Effective Time”).

(d)The text of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation in effect at the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated so as to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the corporation set forth in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will continue to be “Galleria Co.”), until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. The bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(e)The initial directors of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time will be the directors of Merger Sub. The initial officers of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time will be the officers of SplitCo at the Effective Time (after taking into account the resignations contemplated by Section 1.12(a)(iii)). Each of such initial officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by Law.

2.05 Amendment of Acquiror’s Certificate. Acquiror will present to its stockholders for approval by written consent in lieu of a meeting, as part of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, a proposal to amend, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Acquiror Certificate”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to provide for the issuance of Acquiror New Common Stock and the increase in the number of total authorized shares of capital stock of Acquiror, and, to the extent the Acquiror Stockholder Approval is so obtained, such certificate of incorporation will be the certificate of incorporation of Acquiror from and after the Effective Time until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(a)Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock will be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)Subject to Section 2.11 in respect of fractional shares, each issued share of SplitCo Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acquiror New Common Stock (such one for one exchange ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”). The shares of Acquiror New Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of shares of SplitCo Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.07 and cash in lieu of fractional shares as contemplated by Section 2.11 are referred to collectively as “Merger Consideration.” As of the Effective Time, all such shares of SplitCo Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and any holder of a certificate representing any such shares of SplitCo Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive Merger Consideration upon surrender of such certificate, without interest. The issuance of Acquiror New Common Stock in connection with the Merger is referred to as the “Acquiror Stock Issuance.”

2.08 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Pursuant to Section 2.02(e), the Exchange Agent will hold, for the account of the relevant Parent shareholders, the global certificate(s) representing all of the outstanding shares of SplitCo Common Stock distributed in the Distribution. Such shares of SplitCo Common Stock will be converted into shares of Acquiror New Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article II.

(b)Prior to the Closing, Parent will appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Acquiror as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”). Prior to or at the Effective Time, or as reasonably requested by Parent, Acquiror will deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of SplitCo Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, evidence in book entry form representing the shares of Acquiror New Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Article II in exchange for outstanding shares of SplitCo Common Stock (such shares of Acquiror New Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). For the purposes of such deposit, Acquiror will assume that there will not be any fractional shares of Acquiror New Common Stock. Acquiror will make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed or as reasonably requested by Parent, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.11. The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Acquiror New Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

2.09 Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, and to the extent not previously distributed in connection with the Distribution, the Exchange Agent will mail to any holder of record of outstanding shares of SplitCo Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.07 (a) a letter of transmittal and (b) instructions for use in effecting the exchange of any shares of SplitCo Common Stock for Merger Consideration. Upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of the letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such SplitCo Common Stock will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the respective SplitCo Common Stock will forthwith be canceled. Until exchanged as contemplated by this Section 2.09, any SplitCo Common Stock will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such exchange Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.09. No interest will be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon exchange of any SplitCo Common Stock.

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in SplitCo Common Stock. The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of SplitCo Common Stock will be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of SplitCo Common Stock, and after the Effective Time there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of SplitCo Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any certificates formerly representing shares of SplitCo Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 No Fractional Shares. (a) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Acquiror New Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion of SplitCo Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.07, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Acquiror Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 2.11, all fractional shares to which a single record holder would be entitled will be aggregated, and calculations will be rounded to three decimal places.

(b)Fractional shares of Acquiror New Common Stock that would otherwise be allocable to any former holders of SplitCo Common Stock in the Merger will be aggregated, and no holder of SplitCo Common Stock will receive cash equal to or greater than the value of one full share of Acquiror New Common Stock. The Exchange Agent will cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold, in the open market or otherwise as reasonably directed by Parent, and in no case later than 20 Business Days after the Effective Time. The Exchange Agent will make available the net proceeds thereof, after deducting any required withholding Taxes and brokerage charges, commissions and transfer Taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of SplitCo Common Stock entitled to receive such cash. Payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock will be made solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Acquiror of issuing fractional shares of Acquiror New Common Stock and will not represent separately bargained-for consideration.

2.12 Distributions With Respect To Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Acquiror New Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any SplitCo Common Stock with respect to the shares of Acquiror New Common Stock issuable upon exchange thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.11, until, in each case, the exchange of such SplitCo Common Stock in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following the exchange of any such SplitCo Common Stock, there will be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Acquiror New Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Acquiror New Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.11 and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Acquiror New Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective

Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such exchange payable with respect to such whole shares of Acquiror New Common Stock.

2.13 Withholding Rights. Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the transfer agent, as the case may be, will deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Persons otherwise entitled hereto.

2.14 No Liability. None of the Parties, the Exchange Agent and the transfer agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of SplitCo Common Stock or Acquiror New Common Stock (or in either case for any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

2.15 Closing Date Adjustment - Cut-Off Date Working Capital. (a) Not later than the 10^th Business Day following the Cut-Off Date, Parent will provide to Acquiror its good faith estimate of the Cut-Off Date Working Capital (if such amount exceeds the Working Capital Target, the absolute value of the difference is the “Working Capital Excess,” and if such amount is less than the Working Capital Target, the absolute value of the difference is the “Working Capital Deficit”). Such statement (as such statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.15, the “Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement”) will be prepared (A) in a manner and format consistent with the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement Format and (B) using the most current and most reliable financial information reasonably available to Parent in the Ordinary Course of Parent’s operations.

(b)Acquiror will review the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement and, if Acquiror disagrees with any item set forth in such statement, it will provide written notice to Parent (an “Acquiror Objection”) within five Business Days following receipt of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement, and Parent and Acquiror will attempt to resolve in good faith any such disagreements as soon as practicable.

(c)If Parent and Acquiror are unable to resolve any of their disputes with respect to the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement within two Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the Acquiror Objection pursuant to Section 2.15(b), either Party may refer the remaining disputed items to Ernst & Young LLP or another independent accounting firm mutually selected by Parent and Acquiror (the “Accounting Firm”) to make a written determination as to each then-remaining disputed item, which written determination will be final and binding on the Parties as to each such disputed item. The Accounting Firm will act as an arbitrator and not an expert and will address only those items that are in dispute. With respect to any item of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement for which a determination is to be made by the Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm may only assign a value that is equal to the value for such item claimed by either Party. The Parties

will use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to have the Accounting Firm make its determination within five Business Days of being engaged (and in any event prior to Closing). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and Acquiror, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputed items not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each Party incurred in connection with their preparation of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement and preparation or review of any Acquiror Objection, as applicable, will be borne by such Party.

(d)The Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement will become final and binding on the Parties upon the earliest of (i) if no Acquiror Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which Acquiror must make its objection pursuant to Section 2.15(b), (ii) the agreement in writing by Parent and Acquiror that the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement, together with any modifications thereto agreed by Parent and Acquiror, is final and binding, and (iii) the date on which the Accounting Firm issues its written determination with respect to any dispute relating to such Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.15(c).

(e)If, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.15(d), (i) there is a Working Capital Excess that is greater than 5.0% of the Working Capital Target (the “Working Capital Band Amount”), then the Recapitalization Amount will be increased by an amount equal to the Working Capital Excess, (ii) there is a Working Capital Deficit that is greater than the Working Capital Band Amount, then the Recapitalization Amount will be decreased by an amount equal to the Working Capital Deficit and (iii) there is a Working Capital Excess or a Working Capital Deficit that is equal to or less than the Working Capital Band Amount, then the Recapitalization Amount shall not be increased or decreased by this Section 2.15.

(f)In furtherance of this Section 2.15, upon the request of Acquiror, Parent will promptly provide to Acquiror and its accountants access during normal business hours to the books and records and any other information, and to any employees of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, that Acquiror determines is reasonably necessary for Acquiror to review the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement.

Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by the Galleria Business that will be contributed to SplitCo or the Galleria Entities or the nature of the Galleria Business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not been and would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Galleria Business.

3.04 Capital Structure; SplitCo. (a) On the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of SplitCo consisted solely of 1,000 shares of SplitCo Common Stock, of which 100 shares of SplitCo Common Stock were outstanding. On the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Distribution, all of the outstanding shares of SplitCo Common Stock are and will be owned directly by Parent free and clear of any Security Interest other than Permitted Encumbrances.

All outstanding shares of SplitCo Common Stock are, and all such shares that may be issued prior to the Effective Time as contemplated by this Agreement will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

There are no outstanding obligations of SplitCo to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding securities of Galleria Equity Interests.

Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Order applicable to any Galleria Entity or the Galleria Business, other than any Order generally applicable to the businesses in which the Galleria Business operates, that would reasonably be expected to affect, in any material respect, individually or in the aggregate, the Galleria Business.

5.02 Further Assurances; Efforts To Obtain Consents; Antitrust Clearance. (a) Generally. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, each of the Parties will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) their reasonable best efforts, prior to, at and after the Closing Date, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable, including, if applicable, forming legal entities, opening bank accounts and reaffirming any consents, approvals or waivers previously granted; provided, however, that (i) with respect to the matters that are the subject of Section 1.08, such matters will be governed by that Section instead of this Section 5.02(a) following the Closing, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(b)-(c), neither Parent nor Acquiror will be required to make any non-de minimis payments, incur any non-de minimis Liability or offer or grant any non-de minimis accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with obtaining any Consent or Governmental Approval, (iii) subject to Section 1.09, the Acquiror will be solely responsible for obtaining the Consents required in respect of the Mercury Licenses (provided that Parent will reasonably cooperate with Acquiror’s requests in respect thereof) and (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.02 will not be deemed to limit in any respect Parent’s exercise of discretion under Section 2.01 or Section 2.02.

(b)Requisite Antitrust Filings. Parent and Acquiror will comply fully with all applicable notification, reporting and other requirements of applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and Acquiror, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event within 15 days after the date of this Agreement, will furnish to the other on an outside-counsel basis such necessary information and assistance as the other may reasonably request so as to enable the Parties to evaluate which jurisdictions may require, under Antitrust Laws, notification or reporting of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. As soon as practicable after the end of such 15-day period, and in any case, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and Acquiror will determine and identify in writing a list of jurisdictions (the “Identified Jurisdictions”), where in its reasonable

opinion, based on such exchange of information and assistance and the advice of appropriately qualified outside counsel, a failure to file would be reasonably likely to expose it to a risk of financial penalties or other sanctions (including post-Closing sanctions or remedies such as the unwinding of the transactions). Parent and Acquiror, as soon as practicable after the end of such 30 day period, will file the required notifications with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in the Identified Jurisdictions pursuant to and in compliance with the HSR Act and make other filings under Antitrust Laws in those jurisdictions. In the event that Parent and Acquiror are unable to agree on the list of Identified Jurisdictions within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, then Parent and Acquiror will submit their respective lists of Identified Jurisdictions on which they disagree (each, a “Potential Identified Jurisdiction”) to an internationally recognized law firm having expertise in antitrust matters and with no material relationships with either Parent or Acquiror (such law firm to be agreed by Parent and Acquiror in good faith and if they are unable to agree, to be drawn by lot from up to three such firms submitted by each of Parent and Acquiror). Parent and Acquiror will use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the selected firm to select any additional Identified Jurisdictions from the Potential Identified Jurisdictions within ten Business Days, based solely on the information that has been shared between the Parties pursuant to, and the standards set forth in, this Section 5.02(b). Parent and Acquiror’s agreed list of Identified Jurisdictions, plus any additional jurisdictions identified by such law firm, will be the “Identified Jurisdictions.” Parent and Acquiror will share the costs and expenses of the law firm equally. Parent and Acquiror will as soon as practicable file any additional information reasonably requested by any Governmental Authority in connection with any Antitrust Law.

(c)Efforts To Obtain Antitrust Approvals. (i) Parent and Acquiror will each use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or terminate, as the case may be, as soon as practicable, the Governmental Approvals required by any Antitrust Law (the “Antitrust Approvals”) that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and will cooperate fully with each other in promptly seeking to obtain such Antitrust Approvals or terminate any waiting period thereunder, all such actions to be effective prior to the Closing. Acquiror and Parent will cooperate in connection with the antitrust defense of the transactions contemplated hereby in any investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Authority or other Person relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or regulatory filings under applicable Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, each of Parent and Acquiror agrees with respect to obtaining any Antitrust Approval to (A) cooperate and consult with each other, (B) furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any notifications or filings, (C) keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by such party from, or given by such party to, any third party or any Governmental Authority with respect to such transactions, (D) permit the other Party to review and consider in good faith the other party’s reasonable comments in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Authority with respect to obtaining the necessary Antitrust Approvals, (E) provide prompt notice to the other Party of any meeting or substantive discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (F) not participate in any

meeting or substantive discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby unless, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, it gives the other party the opportunity to attend, participate and observe; provided that Parent and Acquiror shall not be required to provide the other with information to the extent that it is commercially sensitive; provided, further, that such commercially sensitive information will be made available only to legal counsel of the recipient Party and the recipient Party shall procure that such legal counsel shall not further disclose such information without the prior written consent of the relevant disclosing Party.

(ii)Subject to the last sentence of this clause (ii) and to Section 5.02(c)(iii), in furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants contained in Section 5.02(c)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement, Acquiror will offer to take (and if such offer is accepted, commit to take) all necessary steps to eliminate impediments under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby so as to permit such transactions to be consummated as promptly as practicable and to prevent a prohibition decision or the entry of any Order (or if such Order is so entered, to eliminate such Order or otherwise cause it to be satisfied or cease to be a restraint on such transactions) sought by any Governmental Authority or private Person under any Antitrust Law that would result in the failure of any condition to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to be satisfied. Such steps may include, whether effected by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (A) the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets or businesses of Acquiror or, effective as of the Closing, such assets of the Galleria Business and (B) committing to take any action which Acquiror is capable of taking, including agreements that limit Acquiror’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the Galleria Business, services or assets of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates or any Assets of the Galleria Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) in no case will Acquiror (or, if applicable, Parent) be required pursuant to this clause (ii) to offer or commit to take any step that is not conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, (2) in no event will Acquiror offer or commit to take, or cause or permit SplitCo or any of its Subsidiaries to offer or commit to take, any action prohibited under the Tax Matters Agreement and (3) nothing in this clause (ii) will be deemed to modify the arrangements set forth in Schedule 1.09 in respect of the Mercury Licenses.

(iii)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to compliance with Acquiror’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or terminate, the Antitrust Approvals as soon as practicable pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(i)), Acquiror will (A) have the right to determine and direct the strategy and process by which the parties will seek, and to make the final decision on which steps to take in obtaining, the Antitrust Approvals and (B) take the lead in all joint meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority.

(d)With respect to any Retained Licenses, the Retained Businesses and any Assets that are Excluded Assets by virtue of Section 1.09, all obligations under this Section 5.02 will cease as of any Retained Business Cut-Off Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any Retained Business Cut-Off Date, this Section 5.02 will remain in full force and effect with respect to all elements of the Galleria Business that had not yet become Retained Businesses without giving effect to Section 1.09.

5.03 Public Announcements. The press release(s) announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be in the forms attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2 (the “Transaction Announcement”). The Parties further agree that the Acquiror investor presentation to be made in connection with the announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be in substantially the form previously agreed to by Parent and Acquiror and that both the initial press release and the investor presentation concerning the transactions contemplated hereby will be filed by Acquiror as exhibits to a Form 8-K filing promptly after the execution of this Agreement.

(b)As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and after the financial statements referenced in Section 5.05 have become available, Parent and Acquiror will jointly prepare, and (i) Acquiror will file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Acquiror Form S-4”) to register the shares of Acquiror New Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, and prepare and file with the Commission an information statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act related to the Transaction and this Agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Information Statement”), (ii) SplitCo will file with the Commission a registration statement on Form 10 and/or a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “SplitCo Form 10/S-4”) to register the shares of SplitCo Common Stock to be distributed in the Distribution, (iii) Parent will file with the Commission a Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”, together with the Acquiror Form S-4, the Information Statement and the SplitCo Form 10/S-4, the “SEC Filings”) if Parent elects to effect the Distribution in whole or in part by means of an Exchange Offer and (iv) the Parties will file such other appropriate documents as may be applicable. Each of Parent and Acquiror will use their reasonable best efforts to have the SEC Filings cleared or declared effective, as applicable, under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after such filing (including by responding to comments by the Commission and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions in Article VII and it being understood that the SEC Filings will not be filed until after the financial statements referenced in Section 5.05 have become available). As promptly as practicable after the Information Statement shall have been cleared by the Commission (or after 10 calendar days have passed since the filing of the preliminary Information Statement with the Commission without notice from the Commission of its intent to review the Information Statement), Acquiror shall cause the Information Statement to be mailed to its shareholders and to be filed as required. Each of Acquiror and Parent will also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with, in the case of Acquiror, the issuance of Acquiror New Common Stock in the Merger and, in the case of Parent, the issuance of SplitCo Common Stock in the Distribution.

(c)Parent will furnish all information concerning Parent and SplitCo, and Acquiror will furnish all information concerning Acquiror and Merger Sub, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action and the preparation, filing and distribution of each of the SEC Filings. Each of Parent and Acquiror shall otherwise promptly cooperate as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing of each of the SEC Filings, including, without limitation, assistance with the preparation of the pro forma financial information as necessary. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Information Statement or the Acquiror

Form S-4 will be made by Acquiror, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the SplitCo Form 10/S-4 will be made by SplitCo and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Schedule TO will be made by Parent, in each case without providing the other Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by Parent or Acquiror which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Information Statement, as applicable, the Acquiror Form S-4, the SplitCo Form 10/S-4 or the Schedule TO, so that any such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information will promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information will be promptly filed with the Commission and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the applicable stockholders. The Parties will notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the Commission or its staff and of any request by the Commission or its staff for amendments or supplements to any of the SEC Filings or for additional information and will supply each other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its representative, on the one hand, and the Commission or its staff, on the other hand, with respect thereto and will respond as promptly as practicable to any such comments or requests.

5.09 No Solicitation. (a) Acquiror will, and will cause its Representatives to, cease immediately any discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquiror Takeover Proposal. Except as provided in Section 5.09(b), Acquiror will not, nor will it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor will it authorize or permit any Representative of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries to (and will instruct such Representatives not to), directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any Acquiror Takeover Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquiror Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the two preceding sentences by any Representative or Affiliate of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.09 by Acquiror.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.09(a), prior to receipt of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, Acquiror may, if the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Acquiror to the stockholders of Acquiror under applicable Law, as determined in good faith by such board after consulting with outside legal counsel, in response to a Qualifying Acquiror Takeover Proposal (and subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.09):

(i)furnish information with respect to Acquiror to the Person making such Qualifying Acquiror Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of the other Party than the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that

all such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person); and

(ii)participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Qualifying Acquiror Takeover Proposal.

(c)Neither the Board of Directors of Acquiror nor any committee thereof may (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or SplitCo, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or SplitCo, the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of Directors of Acquiror of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, (ii) approve, adopt or recommend, or permit Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement relating to any Acquiror Takeover Proposal, or (iii) approve, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend, any Acquiror Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to receipt of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Acquiror receives an Acquiror Superior Proposal and as a result thereof the Board of Directors of Acquiror determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Acquiror under applicable Law, then, on the fifth Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from Acquiror, the Board of Directors of Acquiror may withdraw or modify its recommendation of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval and, in connection therewith, recommend such Acquiror Superior Proposal; provided that, during such five-Business Day period, Acquiror will be obligated to negotiate in good faith with Parent and SplitCo any modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent or SplitCo; provided, further, that in the event of any material change to the material terms of such Acquiror Superior Proposal, Acquiror shall have delivered to Parent an additional notice and the notice period shall have recommenced.

(d)Acquiror will, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any case within 24 hours), advise Parent orally and in writing of any Acquiror Takeover Proposal or any inquiry with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquiror Takeover Proposal, and the identity of the Person making any such Acquiror Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the material terms of any such Acquiror Takeover Proposal or inquiry. Acquiror will (i) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status including any change to the material terms of any such Acquiror Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (ii) provide to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any case within 24 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to Acquiror from any third party in connection with any Acquiror Takeover Proposal or sent or provided by Acquiror to any third party in connection with any Acquiror Takeover Proposal.

(e)Nothing contained in this Section 5.09 will prohibit Acquiror from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to Acquiror’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Acquiror after consulting with outside legal counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law; provided,

however, that this Section 5.09(e) will not eliminate or modify (x) Acquiror’s obligations under the proviso in Section 5.09(b) or (y) the effect that taking and disclosing any such position would otherwise have under this Agreement (including under Section 8.01(d)(i)).

(f)For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Acquiror Takeover Proposal” means (A) any proposal for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving Acquiror, (B) any proposal or offer for the issuance by Acquiror of over 15% of its equity securities as consideration for the assets or securities of another Person, or (C) any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 15% of the equity securities or consolidated assets of Acquiror, or assets or business that constitute over 15% of the consolidated revenues or net income of Acquiror, in each case other than the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii)“Qualifying Acquiror Takeover Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquiror Takeover Proposal that (A) is made by a Person the Board of Directors of Acquiror determines, in good faith, after consulting with outside counsel and independent financial advisors, is reasonably capable of making an Acquiror Superior Proposal, (B) the Board of Directors of Acquiror determines, in good faith, after consulting with its independent financial advisor, constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquiror Superior Proposal, and (C) that was not solicited by Acquiror and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.09.

(iii)“Acquiror Superior Proposal” means any bona fide proposal made by a third party to acquire more than 50% of the equity securities or all or substantially all the assets of Acquiror, pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, a consolidation, a liquidation or dissolution, a recapitalization, a sale of all or substantially all its assets or otherwise, on terms which the Board of Directors of Acquiror determines in its good-faith judgment after consulting with its independent financial advisor (A) to be superior from a financial point of view to the holders of Acquiror Common Stock than the transactions contemplated hereby, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby) and (B) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal.

5.10 NYSE Listing. Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be listed on the NYSE as of the Effective Time, subject to official notice of issuance.

5.11 Required Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in respect of amendments to the Transition Plan (and any resulting changes to the Transition Services Agreement and the schedules thereto) in Section 5.21, the Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith with respect to any amendment to the Transaction Documents reasonably requested by a Party in order to enable its counsel to deliver the written opinion(s) contemplated by Sections 7.02 or 7.03 of this Agreement, as the case may be (any such amendment, a “Proposed Amendment”). Neither Party will withhold its consent to a Proposed Amendment that (i) does not result in any change in the Merger Consideration, (ii) is not materially adverse to the interests of any Party, and (iii) does not unreasonably impede or delay consummation of the Distribution or the Merger. Any Proposed Amendment that the Parties consent to will be reflected through the execution of appropriate written amendments to the applicable Transaction Documents.

5.12 Capital Transactions. (a) Galleria Commitment Letter. Attached hereto as Exhibit L is a true and complete fully executed copy of the commitment letter relating to the Galleria Credit Facility (the “Galleria Commitment Letter”). The Galleria Credit Facility will remain outstanding, without amendment and without amortization, for at least one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, that, if SplitCo receives a Bank Letter, SplitCo will be permitted to refinance the Galleria Facility with new debt (the “Refinanced Facility”) that has substantially similar terms, the same maturity date, and the same prepayment restrictions as the Galleria Credit Facility. SplitCo must be the primary obligor on the Refinanced Facility and must remain the primary obligor on the Refinanced Facility at all times during such remaining term. After the Closing, Acquiror shall be permitted to guarantee SplitCo’s obligations under the Galleria Credit Facility or the Refinanced Facility, if, in each case, SplitCo receives a Bank Letter. To the extent any prepayments of the Galleria Credit Facility or the Refinanced Facility are permitted hereunder, such prepayments will be made, in each case, solely (I) out of SplitCo’s and its Subsidiaries’ operating cash flows generated on or after the Closing Date or (II) as otherwise required by the terms of the Galleria Credit Facility or the Refinanced Facility, as applicable.

(b)Creation of Galleria Credit Facility. Parent will cause SplitCo to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Galleria Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Galleria Commitment Letter, including using its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, negotiate and enter into the Galleria Credit Documents on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Galleria Commitment Letter and after reasonable consultation with Acquiror. If any portion of the Galleria Financing becomes, or would reasonably be expected to become, unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Galleria Commitment Letter (after taking into account, and exercising, any flex terms), or if the monies borrowed under the Galleria Financing are insufficient to fund the payment of the Recapitalization Amount by SplitCo, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

(i)if any portion of the Galleria Financing becomes, or would reasonably be expected to become, unavailable on such terms and conditions, SplitCo will seek to obtain alternative financing (and in such circumstance if alternative financing is available, SplitCo may obtain such alternative financing), including from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Galleria Financing on terms and conditions that are substantially similar in all material respects to the terms of the Galleria Commitment Letter and after reasonable consultation with Acquiror; and

(ii)if the Galleria Financing is insufficient to so fund the payment of the Recapitalization Amount by SplitCo, SplitCo will seek to obtain additional financing (and in such circumstance if additional financing is available, SplitCo may obtain such additional financing), including from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to borrow such additional monies as may be necessary to fund such shortfall, which additional financing will be on the most favorable terms reasonably available under the circumstances and after reasonable consultation with Acquiror (and, in a circumstance in which the amount of the Galleria Financing reflected in the Galleria Commitment Letter, together with any additional financing obtained pursuant to this clause (ii), is insufficient to so fund the payment of the Recapitalization Amount, the Parties will negotiate in good faith so as to provide Parent with equivalent value) (the arrangements in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, an “Alternative Financing”);

provided that the terms of any such Alternative Financing must be consistent with the Intended Tax-Free Treatment as determined by Parent in its sole discretion. All references herein to the Galleria Financing will be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and all references to Galleria Credit Documents will include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing.

(c)Cooperation Regarding Galleria Credit Facility. Each of Parent and Acquiror will reasonably cooperate with SplitCo in connection with completing the Galleria Financing, including (i) using (and causing their respective Subsidiaries to use) Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist SplitCo in satisfying all conditions precedent to be satisfied by SplitCo or any Galleria Subsidiary in the Galleria Credit Documents, (ii) providing information regarding the Galleria Business that is reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources and their representatives, including such information required by the Galleria Commitment Letter, (iii) permitting the Debt Financing Sources and their representatives access to the Galleria Business and the relevant businesses of Acquiror and its Subsidiaries, respectively, (iv) participating in, and assisting with, marketing efforts related to the Galleria Credit Facility, including causing its management team and other representatives to participate in (A) meetings with prospective lenders, (B) bank meetings in connection with the financing and (C) meetings with ratings agencies and other parties deemed appropriate, (v) causing members of their respective accounting firms to participate in drafting sessions related to the offering materials, if any, for the financing contemplated by the Galleria Credit Documents and (vi) delivery of documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act (as may be amended from time to time). Parent hereby consents to the use of all logos associated with the Galleria Business in connection with obtaining the Galleria Credit Facility; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner

that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Galleria Business, Parent, SplitCo or any of their Subsidiaries.

(d)Cooperation Regarding Distribution. Acquiror will cooperate with Parent in connection with the preparation of all documents and the making of all filings required in connection with the Distribution. Parent will be permitted to reasonably direct and control the efforts of the Parties in connection with the Distribution, and Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things reasonably necessary to facilitate the Distribution as reasonably directed by Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror will and will cause its employees, advisors, agents, accountants, counsel and other representatives to, as reasonably directed by Parent, cooperate in and take the following actions: (i) participating in meetings, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions, management presentation sessions, and “road shows” in connection with the Distribution (including any marketing efforts), (ii) furnishing to any dealer manager or other similar agent participating in the Distribution (A) “cold comfort” letters from Acquiror’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters as are customary for an underwritten public offering (including with respect to events subsequent to the date of financial statements included in any offering document) and (B) opinions and negative assurance letters of Acquiror’s counsel in customary form and covering such matters as may be reasonably requested, and (iii) furnishing all historical and forward-looking financial and other pertinent financial and other information that is available to Acquiror and is reasonably required in connection with the Distribution and permitting the prospective underwriters and other parties involved in the Distribution to evaluate Acquiror’s current assets, cash management and accounting systems, and policies and procedures relating thereto, for the purpose of establishing necessary arrangements with respect to the Distribution. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) Acquiror will participate, as reasonably requested by Parent, in a two-week equity “road show” to take place prior to the consummation of the Distribution (which may be for a shorter period, at Parent’s option), and will make available individual members of its senior personnel (including its CEO and CFO) for participation in this road show as reasonably requested and specified by Parent, (y) Acquiror will make available individual members of its senior personnel for participation as reasonably requested and specified by Parent for participation in meeting with analysts (both “sell-side” and otherwise) and will reasonably coordinate and cooperate with Parent in connection with such meetings, and (z) the Parties will perform the marketing activities set forth in Section 5.13(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter as provided therein.

(e)Acquiror Refinancing. Attached hereto as Exhibit M is a true and complete fully executed copy of the commitment letter relating to the Acquiror Financing (the “Acquiror Commitment Letter”). From the date hereof through the Closing Date, each of Parent and SplitCo will cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with Acquiror in connection with the efforts of Acquiror to complete the Acquiror Financing, including (i) providing information regarding the Galleria Business that is reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources and their representatives, including such information required by the Acquiror Commitment Letter, (ii) permitting the Debt Financing Sources and their representatives reasonable access to the Galleria Business, (iii) participating in, and assisting with, marketing efforts related to such refinancing, including causing management team and other representatives to participate in (A) meetings with prospective lenders, (B) bank meetings in connection with any refinancing and (C) meetings with

ratings agencies and other parties deemed appropriate and (iv) delivery of documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act. Parent hereby consents to the use of all logos associated with the Galleria Business in connection with obtaining the Acquiror Financing; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Galleria Business, Parent, SplitCo or any of their Subsidiaries. Acquiror will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Acquiror Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Acquiror Commitment Letter, including using its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (x) negotiate and enter into the credit agreement and related agreements and documents in respect thereof on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Acquiror Commitment Letter, (y) obtain the financing contemplated thereby (which will be deemed to include exercising any flex terms if necessary) and (z) obtain alternate refinancing if any portion of the Acquiror Financing becomes, or would reasonably be expected to become, unavailable; provided, further, that Acquiror shall have the right to modify or waive any of its rights under the Acquiror Commitment Letter, and/or substitute other debt financing for all or any portion of the Acquiror Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources, in order to obtain more favorable terms with respect thereto, to the extent that such terms are, at such time, generally available in the market to companies that are similarly situated from a credit perspective to Acquiror; provided, however, that Acquiror shall provide written notice to Parent at least 5 Business Days prior to any such proposed modification or waiver; and provided, further, however, that any such modification to or waiver of any provision of the Acquiror Commitment Letter or such substitute debt financing for all or a portion of the Acquiror Financing shall not (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Acquiror Financing (such that the aggregate funds that would be available to Acquiror would not be sufficient to provide the funds required to consummate such refinancing), (ii) add or expand the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding of the Acquiror Debt Financing as set forth in the Acquiror Commitment Letter, (iii) materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby, as determined by Parent in its sole discretion or (iv) unreasonably impede or delay the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII.

5.13 Agreement for Exchange of Information. (a) Generally. (i) Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement or as prohibited by applicable Law, each Party, on behalf of its respective Group, will provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party’s Group, at any time after the Closing Date and until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Shared Information in its possession or under its control. Each of Parent and Acquiror agree to make their respective personnel available during regular business hours to discuss the Information exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.13.

(ii)Each Party will provide to the other such Information as the other may from time to time reasonably request in order to prepare its financial statements and satisfy its public reporting obligations.

(iii)Prior to the Closing, each Party will take measures that it determines in good faith to be appropriate to ensure that any competitively sensitive Shared Information from one Party is not disclosed to the other Party’s personnel involved in a competing business.

(b)Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by a Party that is provided to the other Party pursuant to this Section 5.13 remains the property of the Party that owned and provided such Information. Each Party will, and will cause members of their respective Groups to, remove and destroy any hard drives or other electronic data storage devices from any computer or server that is reasonably likely to contain Information that is protected by this Section 5.13 and that is transferred or sold to a third party or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Section 5.13(c), unless required by Law or bona fide document retention policies to retain such materials.

(c)Record Retention. Each Party agrees to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to retain all Information that relates to the operations of SplitCo and the Galleria Business in its respective possession or control at the Business Transfer Time in accordance with their respective then-existing document retention policies, as such policies may be amended from time to time.

(d)Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Section 5.13 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 will reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party.

(f)Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. (i) After the Closing Date, except in the case of any Action by one Party or its Affiliates against another Party or its Affiliates, each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available to each other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent

that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents are reasonably requested in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved.

(ii)If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents are reasonably requested in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or the prosecution, evaluation or pursuit thereof, as the case may be.

(iii)The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 5.13 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and will include the obligation to provide as witnesses managers and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict.

(g)Restrictions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, no Party or member of such Party’s Group grants or confers rights of license in any Information owned by any member of such Party’s Group to any member of the other Party’s Group hereunder.

5.14 Privileged Matters. (a) As to all communications among counsel for Parent or the Parent Group (including Xxxxx Day and in-house counsel of Parent or the Parent Group), Parent and any other member of the Parent Group that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to Excluded Liabilities (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Parent and may be controlled by Parent and will not pass to or be claimed by Acquiror, SplitCo, any Galleria Entity or any of their respective Affiliates. The Privileged Communications are the property of Parent, and from and after the Closing none of Acquiror, SplitCo, any Galleria Entity, any other member of the Acquiror Group or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through the Acquiror (including a Continuing Employee), SplitCo, any Galleria Entity or any other member of the Acquiror Group will seek to obtain such communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or through other means. As to any such Privileged Communications prior to the Closing Date, Acquiror, SplitCo, each Galleria Entity and each other member of the Acquiror Group, together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns, further agree that no such Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing. The Privileged Communications may be used by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in any claim for indemnification brought by Acquiror. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Acquiror, SplitCo any

Galleria Entity or any of their Affiliates and a third party (other than a Party or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, Acquiror may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by counsel for Parent or the Parent Group to such third party; provided, however, that neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent.

(b)Upon receipt by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Communications or if Acquiror or any of its Affiliates obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of Acquiror receives any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Communications Acquiror will promptly notify Parent of the existence of the request and will provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to assert any rights it may have under this Section 5.14 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Communications. Acquiror will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, produce or disclose to any third party any of the Privileged Communications under this Section 5.14 unless (i) Parent has provided its express written consent to such production or disclosure or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an Order finding that the Privileged Communications are not entitled to protection from disclosure under any applicable privilege, doctrine or rule.

(c)The access to Information, witnesses and individuals being granted pursuant to Section 5.13 and the disclosure to Parent and Acquiror of Privileged Communications relating to the Galleria Business pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will not be asserted by Parent or Acquiror to constitute, or otherwise deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 5.14 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement will operate to reduce, minimize or condition the rights granted to Parent and Acquiror in, or the obligations imposed upon Parent and Acquiror by, this Section 5.14.

5.15 Restriction on Hiring. (a) Parent agrees that for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date, Parent will not, and will cause each other member of the Parent Group not to, without obtaining the prior written consent of Acquiror, directly or indirectly, employ any Continuing Employee (after giving effect to any employee transfers contemplated in this Agreement); provided, however, that any member of the Parent Group may hire any such Person if such Person’s employment has been terminated by the Acquiror Group for any reason or such Person has been given notice of such termination, in either case, prior to any direct or indirect solicitation by any member of the Parent Group (other than solicitations by means of a general media advertisement).

(b)Acquiror agrees that for a period of 12 months from the Closing Date, Acquiror will not, and will cause each other member of the Acquiror Group not to, without obtaining the prior written consent of Parent, directly or indirectly, employ any employee of Parent or any member of the Parent Group who held a position with a seniority level of “Band 3” or higher (as such employment bands are commonly referred to within Parent’s organization as of the date of this Agreement) and with whom Acquiror had direct contact through face-to-face meetings or conference calls during the course of negotiating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the

Ancillary Agreements (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement with respect to employees of the Galleria Business); provided, however, that any member of the Acquiror Group may hire any such Person if such Person’s employment has been terminated by the Parent Group for any reason whatsoever or such Person has been given notice of such termination, in either case, prior to any direct or indirect solicitation by any member of the Acquiror Group (other than solicitations by means of a general media advertisement).

(c)Parent agrees that for a period of 12 months from the Closing Date, Parent will not, and will cause each other member of the Parent Group not to, without obtaining the prior written consent of Acquiror, directly or indirectly, employ any employee of Acquiror or any member of the Acquiror Group who held a position with a seniority level of “Level F” or higher (as such employment bands are commonly referred to within Acquiror’s organization as of the date of this Agreement) and with whom Parent had direct contact through face-to-face meetings or conference calls during the course of negotiating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that any member of the Parent Group may hire any such Person if such Person’s employment has been terminated by the Acquiror Group for any reason whatsoever or such Person has been given notice of such termination, in either case, prior to any direct or indirect solicitation by any member of the Parent Group (other than solicitations by means of a general media advertisement).

5.16 Intellectual Property Assignment/Recordation. Each Party will be responsible for, and will pay all expenses (whether incurred before or after the Business Transfer Time) involved in notarization, authentication, legalization or consularization of the signatures of any of the representatives of its Group on any of the Transfer Documents relating to the transfer of Intellectual Property. Acquiror will be responsible for, and will pay, all expenses (whether incurred before or after the Business Transfer Time) relating to, the recording of any such Transfer Documents relating to the transfer of Intellectual Property from any member of the Parent Group to any member of the Acquiror Group with any Governmental Authorities as may be necessary or appropriate (other than expenses with respect to correcting or updating information that, immediately prior to the Closing Date, is incorrect or has not been updated with any Governmental Authorities concerning the Registered Intellectual Property immediately prior to the Closing Date and which is required to be corrected or updated in order to validly and effectively transfer such Registered Intellectual Property from a member of the Parent Group (other than any Galleria Group members) to a member of the Galleria Group, which shall be corrected and paid for by Parent).

5.17 Use of Parent Names and Marks. (a) “Parent Names and Marks” means the names and marks “P&G” and “Procter & Xxxxxx”(in any style or design), and any Trademark derived from, confusingly similar to or including any of the foregoing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.17, Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as necessary, hereby grants to SplitCo and the Galleria Entities a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to the extent licensed to third parties by the Parent Group in the Galleria Business prior to the Closing), non-exclusive, royalty-free license, for the six-month period following the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), to use the Parent Names and Marks in connection with the Galleria Business in the manner set forth in Section 5.17(d). Acquiror and SplitCo will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transition from use of the Parent Names and Marks as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to expiration of the Transition Period. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.17 or Section 5.27, Parent reserves for itself and its Affiliates all rights in the Parent Names and Marks, and no other rights therein are granted to SplitCo, any Galleria Entity, member of the Acquiror Group or any of their respective Affiliates, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All use of the Parent Names and Marks by the Galleria Entities will inure to the benefit of Parent and its Affiliates.

(b)As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event prior to the expiration of the Transition Period, Acquiror will, and will cause the other members of the Acquiror Group (including SplitCo and the Galleria Entities) to, (i) change the name of any Galleria Entity whose name includes any Parent Names and Marks to a name that does not include any of the Parent Names and Marks, (ii) remove all publicly accessible references to Parent Names and Marks from any internet or other electronic communications vehicles, including internet domain names and from the content of any internet websites within the Galleria Assets, and remove all links to any internet domains of Parent or any of its Affiliates from any of the foregoing, (iii) remove or irreversibly cover or modify all Parent Names and Marks from or destroy any packaging bearing any of the Parent Names and Marks, except that SplitCo and the Galleria Entities may continue to sell inventories of finished goods existing or in-process as of the Closing Date and included in the Galleria Assets until the expiration of the applicable shelf lives of such products; provided, however, that Acquiror and its Affiliates use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell such existing inventories prior to the sale of subsequently manufactured or packaged products, and (iv) remove or irreversibly cover or modify all Parent Names and Marks from or destroy any product literature, store displays and similar publicly accessible materials bearing any of the Parent Names and Marks.

(c)For all other uses of the Parent Names and Marks not specifically identified in Section 5.17(b) (e.g., signage, business cards and stationery), for up to 90 days after the Closing Date, in each applicable jurisdiction, SplitCo and the Galleria Entities may continue to use the Parent Names and Marks on the same materials and in substantially the same manner as used by the Galleria Business during the 90-day period preceding the Closing. In each applicable jurisdiction, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and, in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Acquiror will, and will cause the other members of the Acquiror Group to, remove or irreversibly cover or modify all Parent Names and Marks from or destroy any such other publicly accessible materials bearing any of the Parent Names and Marks.

(d)In no event will SplitCo or any of the Galleria Entities use, and Acquiror will, and will cause the other members of the Acquiror Group to not use, any of the Parent Names and Marks

that are subject to the license under this Section 5.17 after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose other than in the same or substantially same manner that such Parent Names and Marks were being used by the Galleria Business during the 12-month period preceding the Closing. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, all products sold by the Galleria Business using any Parent Name or Xxxx will be of high quality, consistent in nature and quality with such products as sold by the Galleria Business in the 12-month period preceding Closing. Parent reserves the right to reasonably inspect the Galleria Business’ quality control of the products sold bearing and uses of a Parent Name or Xxxx and other compliance with the terms of the license granted under this Section 5.17, in each of the foregoing cases, upon reasonable prior written notice to Acquiror and during normal business hours.

(e)The license granted under this Section 5.17 may be terminated by written notice if Acquiror, SplitCo or any Galleria Entity is in material breach of any provision hereof that remains uncured for more than ten days after written notice thereof from Parent, provided that such termination shall not be effective if Acquiror, SplitCo or the Galleria Entity, as applicable, is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure or otherwise remedy such breach. Upon such termination of the license granted hereunder for any reason, Acquiror and its Affiliates will not use any of the Parent Names and Marks hereunder.

(f)For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 5.17 shall preclude any uses of the Parent Names and Marks that are required or otherwise not prohibited under applicable Law (e.g., fair use).

5.18 Removal of Tangible Assets. (a) Prior to the Business Transfer Time, the Parties will discuss in good faith the process and timing for moving to a Galleria Facility all tangible Galleria Assets that are located at any facilities of any member of the Parent Group that are not Galleria Facilities and are reasonably able to be moved, including the feasibility of moving such Galleria Assets prior to the Business Transfer Time. Following such discussions, Parent will determine whether such Galleria Assets should be moved prior to or at the Business Transfer Time, and Parent will cause such Galleria Assets to be moved at the applicable time from such facilities to a Galleria Facility (except, in the case of any Galleria Assets that are utilized by Parent in connection with the performance of a service under the Transition Services Agreement, which will be removed as promptly as reasonably practicable following the termination of such service and in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement). Any move of Galleria Assets pursuant to this Section 5.18, whether prior to or after the Business Transfer Time, will be in a manner so as not to cause substantial damage to such Galleria Assets; provided, that Acquiror will be responsible for the installation of such property within SplitCo’s facilities.

(b)Except as may be otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the Parties, all tangible Excluded Assets (if any) that are located at any of the Galleria Facilities will be removed from such facilities prior to the Closing, at Parent’s expense and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of any member of the Acquiror Group and to not cause substantial damage to such Galleria Facility; provided, that Parent will remove any Excluded Assets that remain at any such Galleria Facilities in connection with the

performance of services under the Transition Services Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the termination of such service pursuant to the same terms and conditions stated above in this Section 5.18(b).

5.19 Works Council Cooperation. To the extent required by applicable Law or labor agreement or any agreement with employee representatives, in each case in connection with the transfer of the In-Scope Employees to employment with SplitCo and its Subsidiaries and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, make any notifications to, and consultations with, works councils, economic committees, unions or similar bodies with respect to the In-Scope Employees. Parent and Acquiror will each provide, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to provide, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause each of their respective representatives, including legal, human resources and regulatory, to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with satisfying its obligations with respect to any works council, economic committee, union or similar body, including all notifications and consultations and other processes (including meetings with any such body) necessary to effectuate the transfer of the In-Scope Employees to employment with SplitCo and its Subsidiaries at the Business Transfer Time and the other transactions contemplated hereby, which will include any required notifications and consultations and other processes required to either (a) obtain an opinion or acknowledgment from any works council, economic committee, union or similar body or (b) establish that the Parties are permitted to effect the transactions contemplated hereby without such opinion or acknowledgment. Such cooperation will include the provision of any information and consultation required by applicable Law, the terms of any Contract or as reasonably requested by the other Party. Each of Acquiror and Parent will make available its representatives at such times and in such places as the other Party may reasonably request for purposes of discussions with representatives of any such works council, economic committee, union or similar body. Parent and its Subsidiaries will promptly notify Acquiror (and provide copies) of any binding commitments or final agreements with any works council, economic committee, union or similar body in the information and/or consultation or other procedures with respect to the In-Scope Employees in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and its Subsidiaries will not make any binding commitment or final agreement with any such works council, economic committee, union or similar body (or in each case, to any representatives thereof) for which the Acquiror Group may be liable after the Closing, without the written consent of Acquiror, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.20 Insurance Matters. From and after the Closing, Acquiror will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, assert any claim against any insurance policies or practices of Parent and its Affiliates under any captive insurance policies, fronted insurance policies, surety bonds or corporate insurance policies or practices, or any form of self-insurance whatsoever; provided, however, that (a) Parent and Acquiror agree that all claims with respect to insured events occurring prior to the Closing will be administered in accordance with the terms of Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ third-party policies, if any, and coverage applicable to such claims, (b) Acquiror will receive the benefit of such third-party policies with respect to such claims to the extent losses occurring prior to the Closing related to Galleria Assets are covered notwithstanding the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) Parent will receive the benefit of such policies with respect to such claims to the extent losses related to Liabilities other than Galleria Liabilities are covered notwithstanding the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and provided that in the case of clauses (b) and (c) such recovery will be net of any deductibles or self-insured retention amounts, costs of any retroactive insurance premiums or other amounts paid or expenses incurred in connection with any insured claims made after the Closing under any such policies that relate to the period prior to Closing or any amounts paid by Parent pursuant to Article IX in respect of the applicable Liabilities (it being understood that Parent will have the right to determine whether or not to make any claim against Parent’s insurance policies).

5.21 Restructuring of Galleria Business; Transition Plan. (a) Transition Plan. During the 90-day period immediately following the date of this Agreement, Parent and Acquiror will develop a plan as provided in this Section 5.21 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Transition Plan”) that sets forth reasonable detail regarding (i) the establishment prior to the Closing of such internal functions of SplitCo as may be necessary so as to allow Acquiror to operate SplitCo immediately after the Closing in a commercially reasonable manner in all material respects (which may take into account the functions that will be provided by Acquiror’s existing business and resources and also the transition services that are referenced in Exhibit D or otherwise permitted by clause (ii) of this sentence), and (ii) preparation for the receipt of the transition services referenced in Exhibit D; provided, however, that Acquiror may reasonably request other services if such services are not expressly listed as “Excluded” on Exhibit D, but Exhibit D shall be amended solely to the extent that Parent determines, in its sole discretion, such amendment would not materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)Preparation of Transition Plan. Parent and Acquiror will provide to each other no later than 5 days after the date of this Agreement the names of their transition team leaders. Within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, Parent will prepare a draft Transition Plan and present such plan to Acquiror (the “Original Proposal”). The Parties will discuss in good faith during the 30 day period following the delivery of the Original Proposal to Acquiror any desired changes to the Original Proposal; provided, that no such proposed amendment will result in an increase by more than a de minimis amount in the nature and scope of the services ultimately provided by Parent to SplitCo pursuant to the transition services described in Exhibit D, as such may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 5.21(a). In the event of any disagreement with respect to the preparation of the Transition Plan that continues to be unresolved at the end of this second 30 day period, each of Parent and Acquiror will refer such disagreement to an executive officer of Parent and Acquiror (as applicable), which executive officers will negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement within 30 days. In the event that such negotiations are unable to resolve such disagreement, then the Transition Plan will be completed as proposed by Parent (after taking into account any points of agreement between Parent and Acquiror), provided, that the Transition Plan must be commercially reasonable, consistent with the Intended Tax-Free Treatment and reasonably capable of completion by the End Date.

(c)Proposed Changes After Transition Plan Is Finalized. After the Transition Plan is completed as contemplated by Section 5.21(b), either Parent or Acquiror can propose amendments to such Transition Plan. The adoption of such amendments will be subject to the consent of the other Party after good faith consideration, taking into account the impacts of such a change on the Intended Tax-Free Treatment and the ability to complete the Closing by the End Date; provided, however, that no such proposed amendment will result in an increase by more than a de minimis amount in the nature and scope of the services ultimately provided by Parent to SplitCo pursuant to the transition services described in Exhibit D, as such may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 5.21(a).

(d)Execution of Transition Plan. Parent will, and will cause the other members of the Parent Group to, commence implementation of the Transition Plan promptly after the Transition

Plan is finalized as contemplated by Section 5.21(b), and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the Transition Plan no later than the Business Transfer Time. Parent will provide Acquiror with monthly reports on the progress of implementation of the Transition Plan and expenditures in connection therewith, together with reasonable detail regarding such expenditures. In the event that an action proposed to be taken by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Restructuring would be permitted or prohibited pursuant to Section 5.01 but would conflict with a provision of the Transition Plan, the Transition Plan will control.

(e)Transfer of Accounts Receivable. Prior to the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing, Parent will cause (i) all accounts receivable that are either (A) primarily related to the Galleria Business and held by SplitCo or any Galleria Entity or (B) primarily related to the Salon Professional Business and (ii) all other rights to payment and security for payments to the extent they relate to the Galleria Business to be held by a member of the Galleria Group.

(f)Set-Up of UPC/EAN Codes; Packaging; Transition of Parent Names and Marks. In connection with the Restructuring and implementation of the Transition Plan, Parent will commence, prior to the Closing, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) establish UPC, EAN and similar codes for the Galleria Entities insofar as such entities do not currently have their own such codes, (ii) modify the packaging and related written materials of the Galleria Business used to advertise, promote, market and sell its products so as to remove any Parent Names and Marks that appear on such packaging and materials, (iii) commence the changes contemplated in Section 5.17 prior to the Closing, all of the foregoing in reasonable consultation and cooperation with Acquiror (it being understood that the activities referenced in this Section 5.21(f)(i)-(iii) may not be completed as of the Closing, in which case, in addition to use of the Parent Names and Marks permitted pursuant to Section 5.17, the Galleria Entities will be permitted to use the UPC, EAN and similar codes of the Parent Group for a reasonable period of time following the Closing) and (iv) establish for the Galleria Entities an accumulation of inventory of all Products incorporating or manufactured using any of the Excluded Technologies set forth on Section 5.21(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter that will not be licensed (other than pursuant to a sell-off license) to SplitCo following the Closing, which accumulation is sufficient to meet sales of such Products from the Closing through the 2016 holiday season, as measured by the average sales of such Products during the corresponding period in the three (3) years prior to Closing. To the extent that any inventory build-up contemplated by such clause (iv) would take place between the Cut-Off Date and the Closing Date, the Cut-Off Date Working Capital will include Parent’s good faith projection of the amount of such inventory that would be present as of the Closing Date.

(g)Control of Galleria Entity Structuring. Authorized representatives of Parent and Acquiror will use their reasonable best efforts to meet, within 30 days and then again within 60 days after the date hereof, to discuss (i) the material Galleria Assets that are held and the material Galleria Liabilities that are owed, as of such date, by Parent or any of its Affiliates and that will be held by, transferred to or assumed by, as the case may be, a Galleria Entity prior to the Closing, and (ii) any Tax or other objectives that Acquiror desires that Parent take into account in effecting the Galleria Transfer (the “Acquiror Restructuring Goals”). Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to provide Acquiror, not more than 90 days after the date hereof, with schedules identifying or describing any (1) Galleria Assets that are held, and Galleria Liabilities that are owed, as of such

date by Parent or any of its Affiliates and that will be held by, transferred to or assumed by, as the case may be, a Galleria Entity prior to the Closing and (2) any Excluded Assets that are held, and Retained Liabilities that are owed, as of such date by the Galleria Entities and that will be transferred to or assumed by, as the case may be, Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than a Galleria Entity) prior to the Closing (the schedules described in clause (1) and clause (2) immediately above, collectively, the “Restructuring Schedules”). Within 15 days after receipt of the Restructuring Schedules, Acquiror will notify Parent in writing of any revisions to the Acquiror Restructuring Goals, and Parent will, after giving good faith consideration to the Acquiror Restructuring Goals as revised herein, (x) preliminarily determine, in its sole discretion, the manner in which each Galleria Asset and Galleria Liability is Conveyed to SplitCo or any of its Subsidiaries, including whether a particular Galleria Asset is contributed or Galleria Liability is Conveyed directly to SplitCo or another member of the Galleria Group or is included as an asset or liability of an entity whose equity interests are contributed to SplitCo (collectively, the “Galleria Entity Structuring”), and (y) use its reasonable best efforts to provide Acquiror, within 45 days after receipt of Acquiror’s written notification regarding any revisions to the Acquiror Restructuring Goals, with a reasonably detailed step plan illustrating the steps pursuant to which Parent believes as of such date that Parent will implement the Galleria Entity Structuring (such step plan, the “Galleria Entity Structuring Step Plan”). Within 30 days after receipt of the Galleria Entity Structuring Step Plan, Acquiror will notify Parent in writing of any comments to such plan. Parent will: (i) consult with Acquiror in good faith regarding Acquiror’s written comments to the Galleria Entity Structuring Step Plan, (ii) provide Acquiror with an opportunity to review any contemplated revisions to the Galleria Entity Structuring Step Plan; (iii) in its sole discretion, finalize the Galleria Entity Structuring and (iv) promptly provide a copy of the final Galleria Entity Structuring Step Plan to Acquiror.

(h)Transition Services Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after determination of the Transition Plan, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the schedule of services for the Transition Services Agreement to be entered into by and between Parent and SplitCo at the Closing, for the provision of the services and access contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, Section 5.21(a) and Exhibit D for a term of six months following the Closing Date, plus any extension of such term expressly permitted under the Transition Services Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates will make any substantive business decisions with respect to the Galleria Business in performing any services for SplitCo pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

(i)Restructuring Documentation. Parent will provide any proposed agreements, certificates of formation or other governing documents, instruments of conveyance and other similar documents relating to the Restructuring (collectively, the “Restructuring Documents”) to Acquiror for its review a reasonable amount of time prior to execution of each such Restructuring Document (or, if not executed, prior to the effectiveness of each such Restructuring Document). Parent will, in good faith, consider any reasonable request by Acquiror in such Restructuring Documents, provided that, to the extent Acquiror has not informed Parent of any requested changes within five Business Days of its receipt of any Restructuring Document, such Restructuring Document will be deemed to be satisfactory. All Restructuring Documents will be consistent with the terms of the Agreement and will not impose any additional Liabilities or obligations on SplitCo, Acquiror or any other party beyond those contemplated in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing

in this Agreement will be deemed to permit Acquiror to control or direct any aspect of the Galleria Entity Structuring, which will be determined by Parent as provided in Section 5.21(g).

5.22 Confidentiality. (a) The Parties acknowledge that in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties have disclosed to each other Information which the Parties consider proprietary and confidential (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, any information disclosed by or on behalf of the Parties under the Confidentiality Agreement that is subject to the confidentiality obligations contained therein will be, and will be deemed to be, Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on the disclosure of such Confidential Information contained herein. The Parties agree that, after the Closing, Information that constitutes an Galleria Asset will be Confidential Information of Acquiror and Acquiror will not be subject to this Section 5.22 (except for Section 5.22(c)) with respect to such information, and Parent will be deemed to be the Receiving Party of such Confidential Information for purposes of Section 5.22(b).

(b)Each Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) recognizes and acknowledges:

(i)that Confidential Information of the other Party may be commercially valuable proprietary products of such Party, the design and development of which may have involved the expenditure of substantial amounts of money and the use of skilled development experts over a long period of time and which afford such Party a commercial advantage over its competitors;

(ii)that the loss of this competitive advantage due to unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information of such Party may cause great injury and harm to such Party; and

(iii)that the restrictions imposed upon the Parties under this Section 5.22 are necessary to protect the secrecy of Confidential Information and to prevent the occurrence of such injury and harm. The Parties agree that:

(A)disclosure of Confidential Information will be received and held in confidence by the Receiving Party and that such Receiving Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Party from whom such Confidential Information was obtained (the “Disclosing Party”), disclose, divulge or permit any Person to obtain any Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party (whether or not such Confidential Information is in written or tangible form), other than to Subsidiaries of the Receiving Party and their employees and agents, in each case, who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound in writing by duties of confidentiality and non-use obligations with respect to such Confidential Information no less protective of the Disclosing Party than those set forth herein;

(B)the Receiving Party will take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to others; and

(C)the Receiving Party will use the Information only in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to perform its and its Group’s obligations, or to exercise its rights, under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(c)The commitments set forth above will not extend to any portion of Confidential Information:

(i)which is already known to the Receiving Party other than any member of Parent Group with respect to Confidential Information related to the Galleria Business or any of the Galleria Entities, or is information generally available to the public;

(ii)which, hereafter, through no act on the part of the Receiving Party or its Representatives becomes generally available to the public;

(iii)which corresponds in substance to a disclosure furnished to the Receiving Party by any third party having a bona fide right to do so and not having any confidential obligation, direct or indirect, to the Disclosing Party with respect to the same; or

(iv)which is required to be disclosed by Law; provided that the Receiving Party provides reasonable prior written notice of such required disclosure to the Disclosing Party following the Receiving Party’s knowledge of such requirement in order to provide the Disclosing Party with an opportunity to prevent or limit such disclosure by seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy at the sole expense of the Disclosing Party.

5.23 Certain Material Contracts. (a) Parent has not, prior to the execution of this Agreement, made available to Acquiror copies or summaries of certain Galleria Material Contracts or Shared Business Contracts required to be listed or described in Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contracts”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Parent’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.23, Parent’s failure to identify or make the To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contracts available to Acquiror does not constitute a breach of Sections 3.08(a), 3.08(b) or 3.08(d). Nothing in this Section 5.23 will be deemed to limit or otherwise alter Parent’s obligations, to the extent of Parent’s Knowledge, to list all of the Galleria Material Contracts on Section 3.08 of the Parent Disclosure Letter on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)Parent will use reasonable best efforts to furnish a true, complete and correct copy (or summary of the material terms) of each To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract (other than any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract the terms or existence of which is confidential) existing as of the date of this Agreement to Acquiror as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and, in any event, within 60 days following the date hereof.

(c)If any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract constitutes a Galleria Material Contract of the type referred to in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (vi), (xi), (xii) or (xiii) of Section 3.08(a) (other than (1) distribution agreements that were identified or described on Section 3.08 of the Parent Disclosure Letter that meet such description solely because they contain an exclusivity provision in respect of a material service and therefore fall within clause (i) or (ii) of Section 3.08(a) and (2) any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract the terms or existence of which is confidential), then Acquiror will have the right to notify Parent within 30 days after the delivery of each such Contract (or description of the material terms of such Contract) that it elects not to assume such To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract. With respect to any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract a copy (or description of material terms) of which is not delivered to Acquiror within the 60-day period referenced in sub-paragraph (b), this 30-day election period will commence at the end of such 60-day period.

(d)Any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contracts that Acquiror elects not to assume as provided above, together with, unless otherwise agreed by Acquiror, any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contracts (other than any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract the terms or existence of which is confidential) that are not delivered to Acquiror in accordance with Section 5.23(b) will not constitute Galleria Contracts hereunder and will not be Conveyed to Acquiror or any of its Affiliates pursuant hereto. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, all other To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contracts (including any To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract the terms or existence of which is confidential) will constitute Galleria Contracts hereunder and will be Conveyed to Acquiror or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Acquiror will not decline to assume any such To-Be-Delivered Galleria Material Contract if Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so would materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.24 Mercury Business Perfume Oils. (a) With respect to the Exclusive Third-Party Perfume Oils, in addition to its obligations under Section 1.08(b), Parent hereby agrees to waive (which waiver will be effective at the Business Transfer Time) any exclusivity provision in Parent’s supply agreements with the relevant Existing Perfume Oil Suppliers that is necessary to allow SplitCo to attempt to negotiate its own independent relationship with such Existing Perfume Oil Supplier who can, subject to SplitCo reaching a mutually agreeable arrangement with such Existing Perfume Oil Suppliers, supply the Exclusive Third-Party Perfume Oils directly to SplitCo on an exclusive basis.

(b)At the Business Transfer Time, Parent will provide SplitCo with the formula cards relating to the Exclusive Parent Perfume Oils and SplitCo will be entitled to use such formula cards without further compensation. In addition to its obligations under Section 1.08(b), Parent hereby agrees to waive (which waiver will be effective at the Business Transfer Time) any exclusivity provision in Parent’s supply agreements with any applicable supplier that supplies the ingredients required to produce the Exclusive Parent Perfume Oils to the extent necessary to allow SplitCo to attempt to negotiate its own independent relationship with such suppliers.

(c)Following the Business Transfer Time, the Parent Group shall not (i) use the Exclusive Parent Perfume Oils or the Exclusive Third-Party Perfume Oils or (ii) until the fifth anniversary of the Closing, and without limitation to any Intellectual Property rights of the Galleria Group, intentionally replicate the scent thereof (excluding in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Perfume Oils that are used in a Retained Business).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, SplitCo will not receive access to any Perfume Oils that are exclusively related to any Retained Business.

5.25 Ancillary Fragrances. (a) With respect to the Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances, in addition to its obligations under Section 1.08(b), Parent hereby agrees to waive (which waiver will be effective as of the Business Transfer Date) any exclusivity provision in the Parent Group’s supply agreements with the relevant Existing Ancillary Fragrance Suppliers that is necessary to allow SplitCo to attempt to negotiate its own independent relationship with such Existing Ancillary Fragrance Suppliers that can, subject to SplitCo reaching a mutually agreeable arrangement with such Existing Ancillary Fragrance Suppliers, supply the Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances directly to SplitCo on an exclusive basis for use by SplitCo in products marketed under the same primary brand name as the Non-Mercury Products or Non-Hydroalcoholic Products that use the applicable Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances as of the date of this Agreement.

(b)With respect to the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances, in addition to its obligations under Section 1.08(b), Parent hereby agrees to waive (which waiver will be effective as of the Business Transfer Date) any exclusivity provision in the Parent Group’s supply agreements with the relevant Existing Ancillary Fragrance Suppliers that is necessary to allow SplitCo to attempt to negotiate its own independent relationship with such Existing Ancillary Fragrance Supplier that can, subject to SplitCo reaching a mutually agreeable arrangement with such Existing Ancillary

Fragrance Supplier, supply the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances directly to SplitCo on a non-exclusive basis for use by SplitCo in products marketed under the same primary brand name as the applicable Non-Mercury Products or Non-Hydroalcoholic Products that use the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances as of the date of this Agreement.

(c)At the Business Transfer Time, Parent will provide SplitCo with the formula cards relating to the Exclusive Parent Ancillary Fragrances and SplitCo will be entitled to use such formula cards without further compensation, and Parent will destroy any copies in its possession of such formula cards. At the Business Transfer Time, Parent will provide SplitCo with the formula cards relating to the Non-Exclusive Parent Ancillary Fragrances and SplitCo will be entitled to use such formula cards without further compensation, and Parent and SplitCo will each maintain the confidentiality of such formula cards.

(d)Acquiror acknowledges and agrees that (i) SplitCo’s right to use the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances is non-exclusive, (ii) after the Business Transfer Time, Parent and Parent’s Affiliates may use the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances and Non-Exclusive Parent Ancillary Fragrances in their current or future products under other brand names in their other businesses or sell, assign, transfer, deliver, license or otherwise permit the use of the Non-Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances or the Non-Exclusive Parent Ancillary Fragrances by Third Parties in other products, and (iii) after the Business Transfer Time, Parent and Parent’s Affiliates may develop new fragrances with characteristics similar to the Non-Hydroalcoholic Fragrances in their other businesses.

(e)Following the Business Transfer Time, the Parent Group shall not use the Exclusive Parent Ancillary Fragrances or Exclusive Third-Party Ancillary Fragrances (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Ancillary Fragrances that are used in a Retained Business).

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, SplitCo will not receive access to any Non-Hydroalcoholic Fragrances that are exclusively related to any Retained Business.

5.26 Continuing Employee Restrictions. Without the prior written consent of Parent, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, during the 12-month period following the Closing Date, the Acquiror Group will not permit any Continuing Employee to, and will cause each Continuing Employee not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any activity with, or provide any services to, including as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, any member of the Acquiror Group in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any product of Parent and its Affiliates (including any existing product as well as any product known to the Continuing Employee, as a consequence of the Continuing Employee’s employment with Parent or its Affiliates, to be in development) that is manufactured, marketed or sold in the Retail Channel during such 12-month period, other than products manufactured, marketed or sold by the Galleria Business outside of the Retail Channel and otherwise to the extent not restricted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

5.27 Facilities Split Plan. Following the date hereof, Parent and Acquiror will develop a plan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Split Plan Agreement to separate the Split Facilities from their existing combined sites so that the Split Facilities can be transferred as herein contemplated. Parent and Acquiror will bear the costs of implementation of the Split Plan equally; provided, however, that (a) prior to the Closing, Parent may, in good faith, update any estimates of the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by each of the Parties to separate the Split Facilities as contemplated by this Section 5.27 (such amounts, the “Split Plan Costs”), (b) prior to the Closing, the Recapitalization Amount will be increased or decreased, as applicable, by the net amount of any adjustments necessary to achieve a 50%/50% sharing of the Split Plan Costs (taking into account any updated estimates as contemplated by the preceding clause (a)), and (c) no reimbursement payments will be made by one Party to the other in respect of Split Plan Costs after the Closing.

5.28 Wind-down of Max Factor Gold Business. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Parent Group will wind-down its Max Factor Gold business and will cease production of any new Max Factor Gold business products under the Trademark contained in the Galleria IP Assets and used in connection with the Kosmos Business by the Closing Date.

5.29 Diamond Technology. From the date hereof until the Business Transfer Time, Parent will dedicate the equivalent of three full-time employees to attempt to develop a replacement or substitute Technology for the Diamond Technology, for purposes of securing a replacement or substitute that is substantially similar or superior to the Diamond Technology for use in Care Products (the “Substitute Diamond Technology”).

5.30 Non-Compete Restrictions. (a) Parent Group General Restrictions. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Parent will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior consent of Acquiror, directly or indirectly (it being understood that in respect of Covered Salon Products, indirect sales will be prohibited only insofar as they take place at the direction of a member of the Parent Group through an agent of any member of the Parent Group) engage in, anywhere in the world, the sourcing, manufacturing, development, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution or marketing of: (a) Color Products; (b) Covered Salon Products; (c) Covered Fine Fragrance Products; or (d) Covered Color Cosmetics Products (collectively, the “Restricted Business”); provided, however, that the foregoing will not restrict Parent or its Affiliates from: (i) owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in a Restricted Business if neither Parent, nor any of its controlled Affiliates, beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 10% of any class of securities of such Person; (ii) making any acquisition of any business or Person that engages in a Restricted Business (the “Target”), if the annual net sales attributable to the Restricted Business for the Target’s most recent fiscal year constitute less than 30% of the total net sales of the Target for such year, provided, however, that if such net sales of the Restricted Business for the Target’s most recent fiscal year exceed $200 million and the closing of the acquisition of the Target occurs more than 12 months prior to the end

of the Restricted Period, then Parent will (x) provide Acquiror the right to make a proposal to purchase such Retained Business within 60 days following Parent providing notice to Acquiror of such closing, and, if Acquiror makes such a proposal, to negotiate the terms of such a purchase in good faith for the remainder of such 60 day period and (y) in the event Acquiror declines to make such a proposal (or if Parent and Acquiror do not enter into an agreement with respect to the sale of such Retained Business within such 60 day period or agree to extend such period), use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of the portion of the Target’s business that engages in the Restricted Business and Parent will be required to either sell or cease to operate the portion of the Target’s business that engages in the Restricted Business as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 18 months of the closing of the acquisition of the Target; (iii) licensing any Patents or Trade Secrets that are applicable to the other businesses owned by the Parent Group to any Person (even if such Person owns a Restricted Business) so long as, subject to the limitations set forth in Schedule 5.30(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, any license of such Patents or Trade Secrets to such Person does not permit such Person to use or sublicense such Patents or Trade Secrets in such Restricted Business and Parent will (and will cause its Affiliates to) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such restrictions; or (iv) providing any transitional services or supply to any Person arising from the divestiture of one or more of Parent’s businesses. The parties agree that the covenants included in this Section 5.30(a) are, taken as a whole, reasonable in their geographic and temporal coverage and no party will raise any issue of geographic or temporal reasonableness in any proceeding to enforce such covenant. Parent acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by Parent of the provisions of this Section 5.30(a), monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, Acquiror may, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions hereof.

(b)Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Section 5.30(a) will not prohibit, restrict or prevent any of the following:

(i)the operation of the Existing Parent Business;

(ii)the operation of the Restricted Business by Parent to the extent such Restricted Business is permitted to be retained by Parent pursuant to Section 5.30(a)(ii) or Section 5.30(a)(iii), as applicable;

(iii)the sourcing, manufacturing, development, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution or marketing of any products that are included in the categories specified on Section 5.30(b)(iii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (such products, collectively, the “Parent Out-of-Scope Products”); or

(iv)subject to Section 1.09, the continuation, operation, development, transfer or transition of the Retained Business.

VI. EMPLOYEE MATTERS

6.01 Identification of Employees. (a) Parent will update the lists of In-Scope Employees set forth on Section 6.01 of the Parent Disclosure Letter (i) within 20 days following the date of this Agreement, (ii) from time to time thereafter in Parent’s sole discretion and (iii) no later than ten days prior to the Closing Date, in each case, in order to reflect terminations, allocation of Parent Group employees at the Split Facilities, transfers, new hires, changes in active status, changes to Choice Employee status, accidental or inadvertent errors or omissions and changes resulting from the implementation of the Restructuring and the implementation of the Transition Plan and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, highlighting such changes. Subject to applicable Laws, including following Parent’s receipt of a valid waiver or consent from the applicable employee where applicable Law requires, Parent will also include the names of In-Scope Employees who hold a position with a seniority level of “Band 3” or higher (as such employment bands are commonly referred to within Parent’s organization as of the date of this Agreement) in its updates to the lists of In-Scope Employees set forth on Section 6.01 of the Parent Disclosure Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent may, in its sole discretion, cause the employment of any In-Scope Employee to be transferred to any member of the Galleria Group at any time prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall cause the employment of any employee of any member of the Galleria Group (other than any In-Scope Employee) to be transferred to any member of the Parent Group (other than any member of the Galleria Group) at any time prior to the Closing.

(b)Within 45 days following the date of this Agreement, Parent will provide to Acquiror a true and complete list, on an In-Scope Employee by In-Scope Employee basis, of all equity and equity based awards of Parent (collectively, the “Parent Awards”) held by each In-Scope Employee with an employment level of “Band 4” or higher (as such employment bands are commonly referred to within Parent’s organization) as of the date of this Agreement, and such list will also provide the dates of grant, expiration date, the number of shares underlying such Parent Awards, and the applicable exercise or base price per share.

(c)Within 45 days following the date of this Agreement, Parent will provide to Acquiror a list indicating the visa or similar work authorization status of each Expatriate Employee working pursuant to such a local visa or similar authorization as of the date of this Agreement.

(d)Within 60 days following the date of this Agreement, Parent will provide to Acquiror a true and complete list of each material Compensation and Benefit Plan. Within 60 days following the date of this Agreement, Parent will make available to Acquiror a true and complete copy of Parent’s expatriate policy and with respect to each Galleria Business Acquired Plan, Parent will make available to Acquiror copies of (i) the plan document, including any amendments thereto, (ii) if applicable, the most recent annual report on Form 5500 required to be filed with the IRS or any comparable report required to be filed with a Governmental Authority, (iii) the most recent actuarial valuation report, if applicable, for the applicable plan and (iv) if applicable, the most recent IRS determination letter or any comparable letter from a Governmental Authority regarding the tax-

qualified status of any such plan with a tax-qualified trust if assets will be transferred from such trust to a trust of a Galleria Group Plan pursuant to Schedule 1.05(a)(xiii).

6.02 Continuity of Employment. (a) Parent and Acquiror hereby acknowledge that it is in their mutual best interest for there to be continuity of employment by the Galleria Group following the Closing with respect to (i) each In-Scope Employee (other than any Choice Employee) and (ii) each Choice Employee who agrees to continue employment with the Galleria Group as of the Closing (in each case, other than any employee whose employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries terminated prior to the Closing) (collectively, “Galleria Business Employees”).

(b)As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event prior to the Closing Date (or such time as is required by applicable Law or as is required in connection with notifications to, or consultations with, unions or works councils), (i) SplitCo will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, make an offer of employment to each In-Scope Employee unless such In-Scope Employee is employed by a Galleria Entity or such In-Scope Employee’s employment will otherwise transfer to the Galleria Group pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or applicable Law and (ii) SplitCo will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, present its terms and conditions of employment (including base salary, target bonus opportunity and other terms and conditions in respect of post-Closing compensation and benefits) to all In-Scope Employees (regardless of whether described in clause (i) of this sentence), which employee offers and terms and conditions will be consistent with the provisions of Section 6.04. Prior to making such offers and presenting such terms and conditions, SplitCo will provide Parent and Acquiror with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on its proposed terms and conditions. Subject to applicable Law, Parent, SplitCo and Acquiror will reasonably cooperate in connection with the presentation of such employment offers and terms and conditions of employment to the In-Scope Employees, including with respect to the timing thereof. The Parties acknowledge that any In-Scope Employee (including any Choice Employee) may elect not to continue employment with the Galleria Group. Each Galleria Business Employee who continues employment or accepts employment with a member of the Galleria Group (the applicable entity, the “Employing Entity”) immediately following the Closing is referred to herein as a “Continuing Employee”. Each Continuing Employee whose home country is in the United States is referred to as a “US Continuing Employee,” and each Continuing Employee whose home country is outside of the United States is referred to as a “Non-US Continuing Employee.”

(c)Nothing herein will be construed as a representation or guarantee by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that (i) some or all of the In-Scope Employees will accept employment with the Galleria Group or (ii) some or all of the In-Scope Employees will become employed by or continue in employment with the Galleria Group for any period of time; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable Law, if an In-Scope Employee (other than any Choice Employee) refuses employment with the Galleria Group (the terms and conditions of which employment are consistent with the provisions of Section 6.04), Parent will or will cause its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of such employee with Parent and its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing Date and, notwithstanding Section 5.15, but subject to applicable Law, Parent will not hire any such employee for 24 months following such termination.

(d)With respect to any Galleria Business Employee who is working in any country pursuant to a local visa or similar authorization as of the Closing, Acquiror, the Galleria Group and Parent will use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to allow such Galleria Business Employee to transfer to a member of the Galleria Group in such country at or prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, if such transfer measures are not completed as of the Closing Date, such Galleria Business Employee will remain an employee of Parent or its Subsidiaries, and will not transfer employment to Acquiror or any of its Affiliates until such transfer measures are completed (each, a “Delayed Transfer Employee”). Each Delayed Transfer Employee will not be considered a Continuing Employee unless and until such transfer measures are completed prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, and Parent may determine not to transfer such Person if Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so would materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby. Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide each Continuing Employee who is working in any host country listed on Section 6.01 of the Parent Disclosure Letter (as updated pursuant to Section 6.01) pursuant to a local visa or similar authorization with not less than 90 days advance notice of any termination by the Galleria Group of the employee’s employment occurring while the employee is working pursuant to such local visa or similar authorization.

(e)Within 60 days prior to the Closing Date, Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, and Acquiror will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate to identify and effect the transfer to a member of the Galleria Group of any individual retained as an independent contractor whose services are required to transfer to a member of the Galleria Group as of the Closing pursuant to applicable Law.

6.03 Establishing Galleria Group Plans. (a) Establishing Plans. Prior to the Closing, Parent and Acquiror will mutually cooperate pursuant to the Transition Plan process as set forth in Section 5.21 of this Agreement in order to establish any compensation and benefit plans for the Galleria Group (the “Galleria Group Plans”). The Galleria Group Plans will be sponsored and maintained by the Galleria Group. The Galleria Group Plans will have terms and conditions that meet the requirements of Section 6.04, provided, however, that the requirements of Section 6.04 will be applied as if those requirements were applied prior to the Closing and as if they were applied by reference to any terms and conditions in effect immediately before the Galleria Business Employees are employed by the Galleria Group. The Galleria Group will be responsible for all Liabilities and obligations under COBRA and applicable state or similar Laws with respect to any “qualifying event” (within the meaning of Section 4980B of the Code) of any Galleria Business Employees or their eligible dependents occurring on or after the date such individuals commence participation in a group health plan sponsored by a member of the Galleria Group or, if earlier, the Closing Date.

(b)Galleria Business Acquired Plans. Acquiror and SplitCo will cause one or more Galleria Group Plans to assume the liabilities associated with the Galleria Business Acquired Plans as provided on Section 1.05(a)(xiii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. Parent will cause the transfer

of assets in respect of such liabilities as provided on Section 1.05(a)(xiii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

6.04 Terms of Employment. (a) Place of Employment. During the two-year period that begins as of the Closing or such shorter period as such Continuing Employee remains an employee of an Employing Entity following the Closing (the “Continuation Period”), Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide to each Continuing Employee employment in a position with a primary place of employment that is not greater than 50 miles (or such lesser number of miles in a relevant jurisdiction as may be established pursuant to applicable Law) from such Continuing Employee’s primary place of employment immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that if a Continuing Employee is a party to a written agreement with a member of the Parent Group as of the date of this Agreement that includes a “mobility” provision pursuant to which such Continuing Employee may be relocated by his or her employer at any time, then, to the extent such “mobility” provision remains in effect with respect to such Continuing Employee, the 50 mile (or less) restriction set forth in this Section 6.04(a) will not apply to such Continuing Employee to the extent such restriction is inconsistent with such “mobility” provision in such agreement.

(b)Compensation and Benefits.

(i)Parent and Acquiror will implement the provisions set forth on Schedule 6.04(b)(i).

(ii)If Acquiror and SplitCo fail to comply with their obligations under Section 6.04 in any material respect with respect to any Continuing Employee during the Continuation Period, such Continuing Employee will be eligible to resign and receive severance benefits pursuant to Section 6.04(c).

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all issuances of equity-based compensation by Acquiror or any Affiliate thereof will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of the Tax Matters Agreement.

(c)Severance. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.04(b) but subject to Section 6.04(i)(iii) and Section 1.06(b)(i), with respect to each Continuing Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination during the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide such employee with the severance payments and benefits set forth on Section 6.04(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, and under the applicable formula set forth on the attachment to Section 6.04(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. As a condition to the payment of any such severance to any Continuing Employee, such Continuing Employee must provide a general waiver and release of claims in a form substantially similar to the form used for similarly situated Galleria Group employees (except that such release must also include a provision for general waiver and release of claims for the benefit of Parent and its Affiliates) and such release must be effective. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the payment of any severance pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) will be made on the 60th day following the date of termination of employment (or,

if applicable, at such times as permitted under Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid such payment from being subject to any penalties under Section 409A of the Code).

(d)Compensation Consultant Process. The determination of whether Acquiror and SplitCo are in compliance with Section 6.04(b)(i) will be made by Parent and Acquiror based on proposed terms and conditions provided by SplitCo at least 60 days prior to the date on which it is expected that offers and terms and conditions of employment will be presented to employees pursuant to Section 6.02(b). If Parent and Acquiror are unable to agree within 20 Business Days following Acquiror’s receipt of the applicable information, the determination will be made within ten additional Business Days by an internationally recognized compensation consultant designated by Parent (at Parent’s cost), subject to the approval of a compensation consultant designated by Acquiror (at Acquiror’s cost), which approval may only be withheld if Acquiror’s compensation consultant reasonably believes that Parent’s compensation consultant has used unreasonable assumptions or otherwise made an error. In the event such approval is not provided within ten Business Days following the receipt of the applicable information by Acquiror’s compensation consultant, the compensation consultants designated by Acquiror and Parent will discuss such comparison in good faith for ten Business Days and seek to reach an agreement. If such compensation consultants are unable to do so, they will jointly select a third compensation consultant, which third compensation consultant will make such comparability determination within ten Business Days after the expiration of such ten-Business Day discussion period, which comparability determination will be binding (the process described in this sentence and the three preceding sentences, the “Compensation Consultant Process”). Parent and Acquiror will share equally the cost of any such third compensation consultant. If the Compensation Consultant Process finally determines that Acquiror and SplitCo have not complied with Section 6.04(b)(i) (such difference, the “Compensation Gap”), then Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to either adjust the compensation or benefits of each applicable Continuing Employee so that they are in compliance with Section 6.04(b)(i) or provide each applicable Continuing Employee for the duration of the Continuation Period (including any prior portion of the Continuation Period during which Acquiror and SplitCo have not been in compliance with Section 6.04(b)(i)) a cash payment amount (on a net after-Tax basis) determined by the Compensation Consultant Process to be equal to the Compensation Gap (such cash payment amount, the “Compensation Gap Payment”). Each Compensation Gap Payment will be paid on the same schedule as the applicable Continuing Employee’s regular base pay (with the first Compensation Gap Payment including amounts in respect of any prior portion of the Continuation Period during which Acquiror and SplitCo have not been in compliance with Section 6.04(b)(i)).

(e)Welfare Plans. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause each benefit plan of the Galleria Group in which any Continuing Employee participates that is a health or welfare benefit plan (collectively, “Acquiror Welfare Plans”) to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees, other than limitations that were in effect with respect to such Continuing Employees as of the Closing Date under the corresponding Compensation and Benefit Plan or Galleria Group Plan, (ii) honor any payments, charges and expenses of such Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) that were applied toward the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under the corresponding Compensation

and Benefit Plan or Galleria Group Plan in satisfying any applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums or co-payments under a corresponding Acquiror Welfare Plan during the same plan year in which such payments, charges and expenses were made, and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee following the Closing Date to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation under the corresponding Compensation and Benefit Plan or Galleria Group Plan.

(f)Earned Vacation. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to credit each Continuing Employee the amount of accrued and unpaid hours of vacation, personal hours or days earned and sick leave (together, the “Transferred Leave”) applicable to such Continuing Employee as of the Closing and Parent or SplitCo will provide to Acquiror as of the Closing Date a schedule indicating for each Continuing Employee the type and number of days of Transferred Leave; provided, however, subject to applicable Law, Acquiror will credit such Transferred Leave only to the extent reflected as part of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement. Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to ensure that such Transferred Leave (i) is not subject to forfeiture, to the same extent not subject to forfeiture under the policies of Parent and its Subsidiaries governing such Transferred Leave prior to the Closing and (ii) does not count toward any maximum accrual amount under any plan, program or policy maintained by the Galleria Group after the Closing for the purpose of providing vacation, personal days or hours or sick leave (collectively, the “Galleria Leave Plan”); provided, however, if a Continuing Employee has Transferred Leave in excess of the applicable maximum under the Galleria Leave Plan, once the Continuing Employee uses the type and number of days of Transferred Leave equal to the applicable maximum accrual under the Galleria Leave Plan, then such Continuing Employee’s remaining Transferred Leave will be subject to the applicable maximum accrual under the Galleria Leave Plan. Subject to applicable Law, Acquiror will have the option either to pay cash to a Continuing Employee following the Closing in cancellation of all or a portion of the Transferred Leave that is in excess of the applicable maximum accrual under the Galleria Leave Plan or to permit such Continuing Employee to use such excess Transferred Leave. If applicable Law does not allow for Transferred Leave with respect to any Continuing Employee, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to allow such Continuing Employee to use any leave time following the Closing that was scheduled with Parent or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (on an unpaid basis in the event that such Continuing Employee has not accrued enough paid leave time at the time of such post-Closing absence).

(g)Expatriate Employees. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.04(b), with respect to Continuing Employees who, as of the Closing, receive specific expatriate payments or benefits from Parent or its Subsidiaries (an “Expatriate Package,” and each such employee, an “Expatriate Employee”), Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group during the Continuation Period to (i) maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for each such Expatriate Employee until such Expatriate Employee (A) returns to his or her home country (excluding any temporary return) or (B) ceases to be employed with Acquiror or one of its Subsidiaries provided that such Expatriate Employee is returned to his or her home country and (ii) pay the costs of repatriation for each Expatriate Employee to the same extent and on the same terms as provided for in Parent’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s policies and practices, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, Acquiror will maintain and pay for such repatriation only to the

extent such Expatriate Employee and such Expatriate Package are listed on Section 6.04(g)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. Parent may update Section 6.04(g)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Letter from time to time prior to the Closing Date in order to reflect transfers and new hires in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(xii)-(xiv). Following the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide expatriate payments and benefits to such Continuing Employees in accordance with the policies of the Galleria Group as in effect from time to time, but in any event Acquiror or SplitCo will provide at least the minimum repatriation benefits as set forth on Section 6.04(g)(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

(h)Localized Employees. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.04(b), with respect to Continuing Employees who, prior to the Closing, have been localized other than in their original home country and receive specific benefits from Parent or its Subsidiaries relating to their localized status (a “Localization Package,” and each such employee, a “Localized Employee”), Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group during the Continuation Period to maintain a comparable Localization Package (excluding, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the International Retirement Arrangement and the International Pension Protection Program) for each such Localized Employee until his or her employment terminates only to the extent such Localized Employees are listed on Section 6.04(h) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. Parent may update Section 6.04(h) of the Parent Disclosure Letter from time to time prior to the Closing Date in order to reflect transfers and new hires in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(xii)-(xiv). Following the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide a Localization Package to such Continuing Employees in accordance with the policies of the Galleria Group as in effect from time to time.

(i)Special Rules for Non-US Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any In-Scope Employee who is employed by a member of the Parent Group in a non-US jurisdiction immediately prior to the Closing, and who is required by applicable Law to transfer to a member of the Galleria Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, will transfer automatically on the Closing Date to SplitCo or a member of the Galleria Group in accordance with such applicable Law and will be deemed to be a Continuing Employee and a Non-US Continuing Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following terms will apply to all Non-US Continuing Employees:

(i)To the extent that (A) the applicable Law of any jurisdiction, (B) any applicable collective bargaining agreement or other applicable agreement with a works council or economic committee, or (C) any applicable employment agreement, would require Acquiror or its Affiliates (including a member of the Galleria Group) to provide any more favorable terms of employment to any Non-US Continuing Employee than those otherwise provided for by this Section 6.04 (or extend the period of time for which such standards are met), in connection with the Conveyance of the Galleria Business to SplitCo, then Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to provide such Non-US Continuing Employee with such more favorable term, and otherwise provide terms of employment in accordance with this Section 6.04.

(ii)Acquiror and Parent agree that to the extent provided under the applicable Laws of certain foreign jurisdictions, (A) any employment agreements between Parent and its

Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Non-US Continuing Employee, on the other hand, and (B) any collective bargaining agreements applicable to the Non-US Continuing Employees in such jurisdictions, will in each case have effect after the Closing as if originally made between Acquiror and the other parties to such employment agreement or collective bargaining agreement.

(iii)Any Liabilities for severance pay or benefits (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) to an In-Scope Employee arising from (A) the termination of such In-Scope Employee (other than a Choice Employee) from employment with any member of the Parent Group or the Galleria Group as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) the termination of any Continuing Employee from employment with any member of the Acquiror Group on or after the Closing Date will be Galleria Liabilities and will be the sole responsibility of Acquiror; provided, however, subject to applicable Law, to the extent Parent, SplitCo, Acquiror or any of its Affiliates are required to pay any such severance pay or benefits, such severance pay and benefits shall offset any severance pay and benefits that would otherwise be required to be paid to such Continuing Employee following the Closing.

6.05 Bonuses and Incentives. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.05(b), Parent will retain all obligations to the Galleria Business Employees, including Continuing Employees, with respect to the bonuses and incentives under Parent’s Short Term Achievement Reward (STAR) bonus program, Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program, Key Manager Stock Option Program and any other cash, annual, long-term, equity or similar incentive program of Parent in which the Continuing Employees participate for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs that are attributable to the period of such participation prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, if requested by Parent, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to make all cash payments in respect of any such program so long as Parent transfers to the Galleria Group, as of the Closing, all amounts payable in respect of such cash obligations that are attributable to the period prior to the Closing during which the Continuing Employees participated in such program and any associated Taxes payable by the Galleria Group in connection with such cash payments (but Parent will not be liable for any Tax withholding except to the extent it is required to remit any such Tax withheld from any such bonuses and incentives to the appropriate Governmental Authority).

(b)Notwithstanding Section 6.05(a), Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to pay to each Continuing Employee any 13th month, 14th month, jubilee or similar payment, as applicable, that would next be payable following the Closing at such time as Parent or its Subsidiary would have made such payments (for example, if the Closing takes place on September 30, 2015, and a 13th month payment would have been paid on December 31, 2015, then the Galleria Group will make such payment on December 31, 2015) in an amount not less than the applicable amount included in respect thereof as part of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement (to the extent such amount included in respect thereof as part of the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement remains unpaid as of the Closing Date), in each instance regardless of the applicable Continuing Employee’s employment status on the relevant payment date and irrespective of whether applicable Law requires such payment(s).

6.06 Credit for Service with Parent. Where applicable, Acquiror and its Affiliates (including the Galleria Group) will provide credit for each Continuing Employee’s length of service with Parent and its Affiliates (including, prior to Closing, the Galleria Group) for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and level of benefits) under (a) each plan, program, policy or arrangement of Acquiror and its Affiliates to the same extent such service was recognized under a similar plan, program, policy or arrangement of Parent or any of its Affiliates, and (b) applicable Law (including the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993) in each case, except that such prior service credit will not be required to the extent that it results in a duplication of benefits provided by Parent (including any duplication of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan); provided, however, that Acquiror and its Affiliates (including the Galleria Group) will (i) not be required to provide prior service credit pursuant to this Section 6.06 for purposes of determining benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan for any time period prior to the Closing except with respect to the Galleria Business Acquired Plans and (ii) to the extent that, in Acquiror’s sole discretion, any Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan following the Closing, provide prior service credit for all purposes other than as set forth in clause (i) above, including the calculation of benefit accruals for any time that elapses after the Closing or, if later,

the date on which such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in such a defined benefit pension plan.

6.07 Workers’ Compensation. Parent will retain the obligation for any workers’ compensation benefits payable to or on behalf of the US Continuing Employees (and the Non-US Continuing Employees to the extent workers’ compensation benefits are applicable under the Laws of the relevant jurisdiction) with respect to any events, illnesses, injuries or conditions arising on or prior to the Closing Date. Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will assume and be responsible for all workers’ compensation benefits payable to or on behalf of the US Continuing Employees (and the Non-US Continuing Employees to the extent workers’ compensation benefits are applicable under the Laws of the relevant jurisdiction) with respect to any events, illnesses, injuries or conditions arising after the Closing Date, including any illnesses, injuries or conditions arising after the Closing Date that are aggravations or reinjuries of illnesses, injuries or conditions arising on or prior to the Closing Date.

6.08 WARN Act. Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to (a) provide any required notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any other similar Law (the “WARN Act”) and (b) otherwise comply with the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Continuing Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements) and occurring from and after the Closing. Acquiror will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates (including the Galleria Group) to, take any action on or after the Closing Date that would cause any termination of employment by Parent or its Affiliates of any employees of the Galleria Business or any Galleria Entity occurring prior to the Closing to constitute a “plant closing,” “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event under the WARN Act, or to create any Liability or penalty to Parent or any of its Affiliates for any employment terminations under applicable Law. Parent or its Affiliates will notify Acquiror of any involuntary terminations of any U.S. employees of the Galleria Business or any member of the Galleria Group that occur during the 90-day period prior to the Closing.

6.09 Miscellaneous. (a) Following the date of this Agreement, Parent (and its Subsidiaries) and Acquiror (and its Subsidiaries) will reasonably cooperate and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Article VI, including (i) exchanging information and data, including (A) reports prepared in connection with bonus plan participation and related data of Continuing Employees and all other information reasonably necessary for the Parent Group or the Acquiror Group to comply with the covenants contained in this Article VI and (B) information relating to workers’ compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages, including information and data that is necessary to support or perform the Compensation Consultant Process or that is otherwise reasonably requested in connection with the Compensation Consultant Process (in each case, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law or to the extent that such information and data relates to performance ratings or assessments of employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries), (ii) making any

and all required filings and notices, (iii) making any and all required communications with Galleria Business Employees and (iv) obtaining any Governmental Approvals required hereunder.

(b)Parent shall coordinate with Acquiror to arrange for one or more town hall meetings to allow Acquiror the opportunity to communicate with available In-Scope Employees and Choice Employees as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, any communications between Acquiror and any employees of Parent and its Affiliates regarding terms of employment, employee benefits or otherwise regarding employment with the Galleria Group will be conducted at the times and through processes approved by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such processes will provide adequate access to the Galleria Business Employees and allow all reasonable means of communication with such employees by Acquiror and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any communications with Galleria Business Employees or any other employees of Parent or its Affiliates will be limited to employee benefit matters relating to Galleria Business Employees, future organization design and staffing.

(c)Without limiting the obligations of Acquiror and SplitCo under this Article VI with respect to the Continuing Employees, this Article VI will not (i) constitute or be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend any employee benefit plan in which Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’, or Acquiror’s or any of its Subsidiaries’, employees participate or (ii) prohibit Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Galleria Group) from amending any employee benefit plan in which Acquiror’s or such Subsidiary’s employees participate.

(d)Acquiror will comply with its obligations, if any, to provide notice to or consult with any union or works council representing its employees or the employees of its Subsidiaries.

(f)Acquiror shall have irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that each condition to Acquiror’s obligation to effect the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied contemporaneously with the Closing);

VIII. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

8.01 Basis for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a)by mutual written consent of Parent and Acquiror;

(b)by either Parent or Acquiror:

(i)if the Closing does not occur on or prior to January 31, 2017 (the “End Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date is due to the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe in all material respects the covenants of such Party set forth herein; or

(ii)if (A) there is any Law that makes consummation of the transactions hereunder illegal or otherwise prohibited (other than those having only an immaterial effect and that do not impose criminal liability or penalties) or (B) any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction has issued an Order or taken any other action (which the terminating Party must have complied with its obligations hereunder to resist, resolve or lift) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any material component of the transactions contemplated hereunder, and such Order or other action becomes final and non-appealable;

(c)by Parent:

(i)if Acquiror or Merger Sub breaches any of its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise to the failure of a

104

condition set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 60 days after the giving of written notice to Acquiror of such breach (or, if earlier, the End Date);

(ii)if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 becomes incapable of fulfillment, and has not been waived by Parent to the extent waivable;

(iii)if Parent has commenced an Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2.01(c) and, following all extensions required under this Agreement, such Exchange Offer is not consummated as a result of the failure of the Minimum Condition to be satisfied on the applicable scheduled expiration date of such Exchange Offer;

(iv)if the Stockholder Consent contemplated by Section 5.08, duly executed by the Persons set forth on Section 8.01 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter and representing at least 50.1% of the voting power represented by all outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock, shall not have been delivered to Parent and Acquiror within 24 hours following the time of execution of this Agreement; or

(d)by Acquiror:

(i)if Parent or SplitCo breaches any of its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 60 days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach (or, if earlier, the End Date); or

(ii)if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 becomes incapable of fulfillment, and has not been waived by Acquiror to the extent waivable;

provided, however, that the Party seeking termination pursuant to clause (c)(i), (c)(ii), (d)(i) or (d)(ii) is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

8.02 Notice of Termination; Return of Documents; Continuing Confidentiality Obligation. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Parent or Acquiror pursuant to this Article VIII, written notice thereof will be given to the other Party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will terminate, without further action by any Party. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are terminated as provided herein, (a) Acquiror and Merger Sub will return to Parent or destroy all documents and copies and other material received from Parent and its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, (b) Parent and SplitCo will return to Acquiror or destroy all documents and copies and other material received from Acquiror and its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, and (c)

105

notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Confidentiality Agreement will be deemed to be reinstated and will be deemed to apply as if it had not originally been terminated pursuant to Section 10.03.

8.03 Effect of Termination. (a) If this Agreement is duly terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are abandoned as described in this Article VIII, this Agreement will become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Section 5.03 relating to publicity, Section 8.02, this Section 8.03, Articles X and XI containing general provisions and definitions, respectively, except that nothing in this Article VIII will be deemed to release any Party from any Liability for any Deliberate Breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by another Party of its obligations under this Agreement that specifically survive such termination as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

For the avoidance of doubt, receipt by Parent of a payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 8.03(b) will not limit the ability of Parent to xxx for any breach of Section 5.09 or collect damages arising from any such breach (except, in the case of calculation of damages, to the extent a court would otherwise take such payment or reimbursement into account in assessing damages for such breach).

(b)Acquiror will pay to Parent a fee of $400 million if Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(iv).

Any fee due under this Section 8.03(b) will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds (to an account specified by Parent) and will be paid by Acquiror promptly following termination of this Agreement. Upon payment of the termination fee in accordance with this Section 8.03(b), Acquiror will have no further Liability to Parent at Law or in equity under this Agreement except as specifically set forth in Section 8.03(a).

IX. MUTUAL RELEASES; INDEMNIFICATION

9.01 Release of Pre-Business Transfer Time Claims. (a) SplitCo Release. Except as provided in Section 9.01(c), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, SplitCo does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Galleria 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 Galleria Transfer.

106

(b)Parent Release. Except as provided in Section 9.01(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 Acquiror 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 Galleria Transfer.

(c)No Impairment. Nothing contained in Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b) will limit or otherwise affect any Party’s rights or obligations pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, in each case in accordance with its terms.

(d)No Actions as to Released Claims. Neither SplitCo nor Acquiror will, and each 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 9.01(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 9.01(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 SplitCo, Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 9.01(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 9.01(b).

9.02 Indemnification by Acquiror and the Galleria Group. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing Date, Acquiror, SplitCo and each of the Galleria 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 any and all Losses that result from or arise out of, whether prior to or following the Closing, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a)any Galleria Liability and any Liability of the Galleria Entities, including the failure of SplitCo or any other member of the Galleria 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;

(b)any breach by Acquiror, SplitCo or any other member of the Galleria Group of any covenant to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement subsequent to the Effective Time; and

(c)any breach by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates of their obligations in respect of the Surviving Transaction Agreement Items.

107

9.03 Indemnification by Parent. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of any Ancillary Agreement but subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing, 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 Acquiror Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise out of, whether prior to or following the Closing, 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 Excluded Liabilities;

(b)any breach by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group of any covenant to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement subsequent to the Effective Time; and

(c)any breach by Parent or any of its Affiliates of their obligations in respect of the Surviving Transaction Agreement Items.

9.04 Calculation and Other Provisions Relating to Indemnity Payments. (a) Insurance. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates under third-party, non-captive insurance policies with respect to such Loss (less the cost to collect the proceeds of such insurance). If any Loss resulting in indemnification under Sections 9.02 or 9.03 relates to a claim by an Indemnitee or its Affiliates that is covered by one or more third-party, non-captive insurance policies held by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, the Indemnitee will use and will cause its Affiliates to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue claims against the applicable insurers for coverage of such Loss under such policies. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 9.04(a), and if the Indemnitee or its Affiliates actually receive a full or partial recovery under such insurance policies following payment of indemnification by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, then the Indemnitee will refund amounts received from the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of indemnification actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss (less the cost to collect the proceeds of such insurance).

(b)Taxes. In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary and except for any post-Distribution interest, any amount payable by SplitCo to Parent under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the transactions contemplated hereby, as an inter-company distribution, and any amount payable by Parent to SplitCo under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the transactions contemplated hereby, 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 this Agreement will be (i) decreased to offset any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item and (ii) increased to offset any Tax cost incurred by the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the receipt of any indemnification payments hereunder, unless in the case of clause (ii) such amount is already included in the applicable

108

calculation of Losses. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 9.04(b) and will be reduced or increased, as the case may be, to reflect any applicable Tax benefit or Tax cost within 30 days after the Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof) realizes such Tax benefit or incurs such Tax cost, respectively. In the event of a Final Determination relating to the Indemnitee’s (or an Affiliate’s) incurrence or payment of an indemnified item or receipt of an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 9.04(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.

(c)Items Included in Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Acquiror Parties will have no right to make any claims against Parent for indemnification hereunder in respect of any Liability (i) to the extent that the Liability was specifically reflected on the Cut-Off Date Adjustment Statement or (ii) to the extent it would result in a duplicative payment or benefit to the Acquiror Parties of amounts recovered pursuant to Section 2.15.

(d)Claims Relating To Restructuring or Transition Plan. In the event that Acquiror waives the closing condition in Section 7.02(a) in respect of Parent’s performance of its covenants relating to specific components or steps in the development or implementation of the Restructuring or Transition Plan, then no Acquiror Indemnitee will be entitled to seek indemnity under, and Parent will have no obligation to indemnify any Acquiror Indemnitee with respect to, Section 9.03(b) insofar as it relates to the performance by Parent of such covenants in respect of which such condition was waived.

109

9.05 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of Claims. (a) Direct Claims. All claims made hereunder by (i) any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, against Acquiror or any member of the Galleria Group, on the other hand, or (ii) by any Acquiror or any member of the Galleria Group, on the one hand, against Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand (collectively, “Direct Claims”), will be subject to the limitations and dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 10.15. If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of any matter that may be the subject of a Direct Claim, such Indemnitee will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof but in any event within 15 days after receiving such notice or otherwise learning of such matter. Any such notice will describe the matter in reasonable detail, stating the nature, basis for indemnification and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of any relevant documents evidencing such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 9.05(a) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IX, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

(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) which is not a member of the Parent Group or the Acquiror Group (including after the Closing, the Galleria 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 days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, stating the nature, basis for indemnification and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of any relevant documents evidencing such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 9.05(b) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IX, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is 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 90 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 IX, 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 (A) the Third-Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages or equitable or corrective relief (with or without monetary damages, fines or penalties) which equitable relief would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the operations of (1) Parent or its Affiliates, if Acquiror is the Indemnifying Party or (2) Acquiror or its Affiliates (including after the Closing, any member of the Galleria 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, subject to the limitations thereon set forth in this Article IX (the conditions set forth in clauses

110

(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 such claims, the Indemnifying Party may elect to agree to be fully responsible subject to the limitations thereon set forth in this Article IX, 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), (B) and (C) 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 9.05(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 9.05(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, (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, or (z) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee based on the advice of counsel, there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses thereafter 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 unless such settlement or judgment includes 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 and unless such settlement or judgment does not impose injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses. 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, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, Parent will have the right to assert, prosecute, settle and receive the proceeds of any counter-claims or affirmative defenses of the Parent Group that are otherwise an Galleria Asset.

(c)Without limiting any provision of this Section 9.05, each of the Parties will reasonably cooperate, and will cause each of its respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, with each other in the defense of any claim that the Galleria Business infringes Intellectual Property of any third Person, and no Party will knowingly acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a third Person in a manner as to which such Party has actual knowledge that so doing will be materially inconsistent with the defense of such infringement, validity or similar claim or challenge except as required by Law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein will preclude truthful testimony by Parent or any of its representatives or employees, and such truthful testimony will not be deemed a breach hereof.

111

(d)In the event Acquiror promptly notifies Parent in writing that Parent or one of its Affiliates has challenged the validity of any Intellectual Property of the Galleria Business, Parent will withdraw or cause such challenge to be withdrawn within five Business Days following receipt of such written notice from Acquiror.

9.06 Additional Matters. (a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Acquiror or SplitCo, 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 this Article IX, Parent may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any and all Actions pending at the Business Transfer Time which relate to or arise out of the Galleria Business, the Galleria Assets or the Galleria Liabilities and as to which a member of the Parent Group is also a plaintiff or named as a target or defendant thereunder (but excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection with the Galleria Business, the Galleria Assets or the Galleria Liabilities); provided, however, that, (i) Parent will defend or prosecute, as applicable, such Actions in good faith, (ii) Parent will reasonably consult with SplitCo on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (iii) SplitCo will have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense or prosecution, as applicable, of such Action, and (iv) Parent must obtain the written consent of SplitCo, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Action if Parent is a defendant and such settlement, consent or judgment would require SplitCo to abandon its rights, change its business practices or incur any Liabilities with respect thereto or if Parent is a plaintiff and the resolution involves a judgment that is less than was being sought in respect of the Galleria Business. After any such compromise, settlement, consent to entry of judgment or entry of judgment, Parent and SplitCo will agree upon a reasonable allocation to SplitCo and SplitCo will be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, SplitCo’s proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Galleria Business, the Galleria Assets or the Galleria Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same.

(c)Reasonable Minimization of Losses. To the extent any remedial, corrective or other ameliorative action is required to be taken by an Indemnitee in respect of a matter that is the subject of an indemnification claim hereunder, the Indemnitee will only be entitled for indemnification in respect of those actions that would be necessary to perform the minimum necessary remediation, correction or amelioration to remedy the breach or Liability, as the case may be, at the lowest reasonable cost.

112

(d)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 IX will not be affected.

(e)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.

(f)Not Applicable To Taxes. Except for Section 9.04(b) and as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement, including Section 1.06(a) and Section 1.06(b), will not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Matters Agreement).

9.07 Exclusive Remedy. (a) From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of a Party with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Galleria Business, the Galleria Assets, the Galleria Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities, the Galleria Entities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Fraud and except for seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted hereunder and thereunder and except as otherwise provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement) will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX or, in the case of indemnification claims for Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX and the Tax Matters Agreement and other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Fraud and except for seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted hereunder and except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement) that such Party or its Affiliates may have against the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers and employees, arising under or based upon any applicable Laws and arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Group and Acquiror Group with respect to any and all indemnification claims for Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement will be as set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement.

113

X. MISCELLANEOUS

10.01 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except as provided in the next sentence, none of the representations, warranties and agreements in this Agreement will survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for purposes of the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, (a) the agreements contained in this Agreement in Article II and Article X that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing will survive the Closing until they have been performed in accordance with their terms, (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 and Section 4.14 will survive until the one year anniversary of the Closing (the items in clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Surviving Transaction Agreement Items”) and (c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 and Section 4.12 will survive as provided in the Tax Matters Agreement.

10.02 Expenses. (a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including in Sections 1.09, 2.15, 5.02 and this 10.02, or any of the Ancillary Agreements, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses.

(b)Antitrust Filing Fees. Acquiror will be responsible for and pay any requisite filing fee in respect of any notification submitted pursuant any Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act.

(c)Printing Expenses. Acquiror and Parent will share equally the fees and expenses of printers utilized by the Parties in connection with the preparation of the filings with the Commission contemplated by Section 5.08.

(d)Galleria Indebtedness Expenses. Acquiror will reimburse Parent for all costs and expenses incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Galleria Financing, including any rating agency evaluation or maintenance fees, commitment fees, ticking fees, upfront fees, closing fees and administrative agent fees, interest payments made prior to the Closing Date (in respect of any monies borrowed under the Galleria Credit Facility prior to the Closing and placed into an escrow or similar account as contemplated by the Galleria Commitment Letter), professional fees and expenses, and other fees paid pursuant to fee letters and arrangements entered into in connection with the Galleria Credit Facility (the “Galleria Debt Expenses”).

(e)Expenses Associated With Transition Arrangements And Other Certain Matters Related To Preparation For Closing. This Section 10.02(e) governs the allocation of responsibility for costs and expenses undertaken by the Parent Group in connection with the activities contemplated by Section 5.18 (Removal of Tangible Assets), 5.21(d) (Execution of Transition Plan), 5.21(f) (Set-Up of UPC/EAN Codes, etc.), 5.21(g) (Control of Galleria Entity Structuring) and Section 5.27 (Facilities Split Plan) (the “Covered Expenses”).

114

(i)General Principles. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, responsibility for the Covered Expenses will be apportioned between Parent and Acquiror as follows:

(A)costs and expenses that are incurred by Parent Group for the purpose of optimizing the Parent Group’s retained operations as a result of the divestiture of the Galleria Business for the post-closing benefit of the Parent Group, such as for example the elimination of stranded overhead resources at facilities other than the Galleria Facilities, the optimization of facilities to be retained by the Parent Group and the removal of Excluded Assets from Galleria Facilities, will be 100% the responsibility of Parent;

(B)costs and expenses that are incurred by Parent Group, at the direction of or in consultation with the Acquiror Group, for the purpose of benefiting the future operations of the Galleria Group or the Acquiror Group (beyond assets that constitute Galleria Assets or employees who are In-Scope Employees, in each case, as of the date hereof), such as for example by adding ongoing capability or functionality to the Galleria Business that does not exist as of the date of this Agreement, acquiring new facilities, hiring individuals for newly created positions or non-transferring functions such as sales force employees, moving employees to new locations or shipping and installing Galleria Assets in new locations, will be 100% the responsibility of Acquiror; and

(C)costs and expenses that are incurred by Parent Group for the purpose of facilitating the transaction, such as for example the removal of the tangible Galleria Assets contemplated by Section 5.18, the implementation of the Split Plan Agreement contemplated by Section 5.27, and the expense contemplated in connection with preparing to deliver the anticipated business services under the Transition Services Agreement and/or the migration of the services to the systems of Acquiror, will be shared 50%/50% between Parent and Acquiror.

(ii)Attached as Schedule 10.02 is a preliminary listing of activities contemplated for the transition process and the currently contemplated division of responsibility for the costs and expenses associated therewith. Each of the Parties acknowledges that the ultimate activities to be undertaken, and allocation of responsibilities, may be subject to change based on the results of the transition planning discussions contemplated by Section 5.21(a), but that Schedule 10.02 is meant to be a good faith indication of their intent.

(f)Mechanics of Reimbursement Payments. Any reimbursement amount that may be payable in respect of Section 10.02(d) or Section 10.02(e) will be effected in the following manner: (i) to the extent Covered Expenses or Galleria Debt Expenses that would be the responsibility of Acquiror are incurred by any member of the Galleria Group, were outstanding as of the Cut-Off Date and remain outstanding as of the Business Transfer Time (such as accounts payable or accrued expenses), such Covered Expenses and Galleria Debt Expenses will remain as outstanding Liabilities of the Galleria Group and will not be taken into account in the calculation of Cut-Off Date Working

115

Capital, as contemplated by the definition of Cut-Off Date Working Capital, and (ii) in respect of any other Covered Expenses or Galleria Debt Expenses that would be the responsibility of Acquiror, the Recapitalization Amount will be increased by such amount of Covered Expenses or Galleria Debt Expenses (and, in respect of any such Covered Expenses or Galleria Debt Expenses that have not been determined as of the 10^th Business Day prior to the Closing Date (including in respect of costs that have been incurred but not invoiced), the Recapitalization Amount will be an adjusted by an amount equal to Parent’s good faith estimate of such undetermined costs). Parent will not be required to incur any costs after the Closing that constitute Covered Expenses for which the Acquiror has any responsibility hereunder except to the extent that the Parties agree on such costs prior to the Closing (in which case, the Recapitalization Amount will be increased by an amount equal to such agreed-upon future costs).

(g)Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, the reimbursement contemplated by Section 10.02(f) will be paid by Acquiror to Parent no later than five Business Days following such termination; provided, however, that Acquiror will have no obligation to reimburse Parent for such fees and expenses if this Agreement is terminated by Acquiror pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i).

(h)No Post-Closing Payments. In no case will any reimbursement payments contemplated by this Section 10.02 take place after the Closing. Each of the Parties will settle all such payments at or prior to the Closing (whether effected through the calculation of the Recapitalization Amount or otherwise) as provided in this Section 10.02.

(i)Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.02, responsibility for Taxes will be allocated as set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement.

(j)Efforts to Minimize Shared Costs. Each of the Parties will cooperate in good faith with the other Parties to minimize any costs and expenses that, by operation of this Agreement would not be borne solely by such Party (it being understood that this provision will not be deemed to require the Parties to proceed more slowly towards consummating the transactions contemplated hereby if doing so would reduce costs and expenses).

116

10.03 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any related annexes, schedules and exhibits, as well as any other agreements and documents referred to herein and therein, will together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and will supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of the Parties of any nature, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter, including the Confidentiality Agreement, which is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect, subject to Section 8.03. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and a provision of any Ancillary Agreement, the provision of this Agreement will control unless specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement.

10.04 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of Laws provisions thereof that would cause the Laws of another state to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without limiting anything set forth in Section 10.17, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any suit, action or other proceeding (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any related financing), including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Galleria Financing or Acquiror Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than any New York State court or federal court sitting in the County of New York and the Borough Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof). The parties hereto further agree that all of the provisions of this Section 10.04 relating to waiver of jury trial shall apply to any suit, action or other proceeding referenced in the preceding sentence.

(b)By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably (i) submits and consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware for itself and in respect of its property in the event that any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 10.15, if applicable, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware, or that any such dispute brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient or improper forum. The Parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any such court will constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.

(c)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR

117

RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.04(c).

10.05 Notices. All notices, requests, permissions, waivers and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when sent, if sent by facsimile, (b) when delivered, if delivered personally to the intended recipient and (c) one Business Day following sending by overnight delivery via an international courier service and, in each case, addressed to a Party at the following address for such Party:

10.06 Amendments and Waivers. (a) This Agreement may be amended and any provision of this Agreement may be waived; provided, however, that any such amendment or waiver will become and remain binding upon a Party only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such Party. No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 10.04, 10.07, 10.08, 10.17 and this Section 10.06 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.

(b)No delay or failure in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder will affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. Except and solely to the extent set forth in Section 9.07, the rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party would otherwise have.

119

10.07 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties (and with respect to Sections 10.04, 10.06, 10.08, 10.17 and this Section 10.07, the Debt Financing Sources) and does not confer on third parties (including any employees of any member of the Parent Group or the Acquiror Group) any remedy, claim, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in addition to those existing without reference to this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 10.07 does not limit any rights of Parent to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of Article VI.

10.08 Assignability. No Party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement to a member of its Group, provided that (a) such Person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and (b) such assignment or delegation will not relieve any Party of its indemnification obligations or other obligations under this Agreement and (c) after the Closing, the Acquiror may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement to any lender party to the Acquiror Commitment Letter as collateral security, unless, in each case, Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that such assignment or delegation would materially increase the likelihood that the Intended Tax-Free Treatment would not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby. Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention of the foregoing will be void.

10.09 Construction. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a substantive part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement or the Parent Disclosure Letter or Acquiror Disclosure Letter will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs will include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. References in this Agreement to any document, instrument or agreement (including this Agreement) includes and incorporates all exhibits, disclosure letters, schedules and other attachments thereto. Unless the context otherwise requires, any references to an “Exhibit,” “Section” or “Article” will be to an Exhibit, Section or Article to or of this Agreement, and will be deemed to include any provisions or matters set forth in any corresponding schedule or section of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter. The use of the words “include” or “including” in this Agreement or the Parent Disclosure Letter or the Acquiror Disclosure Letter will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The use of the word “covenant” or “agreement,” when referring to a covenant or agreement contained herein, will mean “covenant and agreement.” The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” will not be exclusive. “Days” means “calendar days” unless specified as “Business Days.” References to statutes will include all regulations promulgated thereunder, and references to statutes or regulations will be construed to include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute or regulation as of the date hereof. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly

120

by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, any provision herein which contemplates the agreement, approval or consent of, or exercise of any right of, a Party, such Party may give or withhold such agreement, approval or consent, or exercise such right, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Parties hereby expressly disclaiming any implied duty of good faith and fair dealing or similar concept.

10.10 Severability. The Parties agree that (a) the provisions of this Agreement will be severable in the event that for any reason whatsoever any of the provisions hereof are invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, (b) any such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions will be replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable and (c) the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party), each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the requesting Party.

10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the performance by Acquiror and its Affiliates of the employment-related obligations set forth in Article VI) without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person will be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

121

10.13 Disclosure Letters. There may be included in the Parent Disclosure Letter or the Acquiror Disclosure Letter items and information that are not “material,” and such inclusion will not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or agreement that any such item or information (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) is “material,” or to affect the interpretation of such term for purposes of this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed therein. The Parent Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter set forth items of disclosure with specific reference to the particular Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information in the Parent Disclosure Letter or the Acquiror Disclosure Letter, as applicable, relates; provided, however, that any information set forth in one section of such disclosure letter will be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face.

10.14 Waiver. Acquiror acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that Xxxxx Day has represented, is representing and will continue to represent Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and that Xxxxx Day will only represent the interests of Parent in connection with such transactions. Acquiror waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, any conflict of interest that it or they may assert against Xxxxx Day in connection with such representation and agrees not to challenge Xxxxx Day’s representation of Parent with respect to such transactions or to assert that a conflict of interest exists with respect to such representation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that Xxxxx Day may represent Parent in any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other Action against or involving Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, arising out of or in connection with such transactions.

10.15 Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement and subject to Section 10.12, the procedures set forth in this Section 10.15 will govern dispute resolution of any Direct Claim under Section 9.05 (a “Dispute”). Acquiror, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, will first refer any such Dispute for resolution to either the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Acquiror or the Chief Financial Officer of Parent (or their designees) by delivering to the other Party a written notice of the referral (a “Dispute Escalation Notice”). Following receipt of a Dispute Escalation Notice, each of the Parties will cause their respective officer or designee to negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute. If such officers or designees are unable to resolve the Dispute within 40 Business Days after the date of the Dispute Escalation Notice, either Party will have the right to commence litigation in accordance with Section 10.04. The Parties agree that all discussions, negotiations and other Information exchanged between the Parties during the foregoing escalation proceedings will be without prejudice to the legal position of a Party in any subsequent Action and kept confidential and protected against disclosure.

122
