21

Confidential Treatment Requested by WK Kellogg Co

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

such Assets or the assumption by the applicable Group of such Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Assets or Liabilities shall continue to constitute Assets of the applicable Party to which such Assets were to be transferred or assigned, or Liabilities of the applicable Party by which such Liabilities were to be assumed, respectively, for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Treatment of Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason (any such Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Asset” and any such Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the Person retaining such Delayed Asset or such Delayed Liability (the “Holding Person”), as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, on behalf of the Person entitled to the benefits of such Delayed Asset or obligated to discharge such Delayed Liability, as applicable (the “Receiving Person”) (at the expense of the Receiving Person). In addition, the Holding Person shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Receiving Person in order to place such Receiving Person in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Receiving Person’s Group. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (x) any Delayed Asset as an Asset owned by the Party entitled to such Delayed Asset, and (y) any Delayed Liability as a Liability of the Party intended to be responsible for such Delayed Liability, in each case not later than the Effective Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment.

(d) Transfer of Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(e) Costs for Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities. Except as contemplated by Section 2.4(f) with respect to Transition Payables and Transition AP&T, no Holding Person shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by the Receiving Person or another member of the Receiving Person’s Group, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and

22

Confidential Treatment Requested by WK Kellogg Co

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Receiving Person or another member of the Receiving Person’s Group; provided, however, that neither the Holding Person nor any member of the Holding Person’s Group shall knowingly allow the loss or diminution of value of any Delayed Asset without first providing the Receiving Person’s Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the Receiving Person’s Group a commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution in value.

(f) Transition Payables and Transition AP&T Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Transition Payables and the Transition AP&T Liabilities shall be treated as Delayed Liabilities for all purposes under this Agreement, and shall be retained by Kellanova or the applicable member of its Group following the Effective Time until such Transition Payables and Transition AP&T Liabilities are satisfied in full and no longer outstanding. For so long as any Transition Payables or Transition AP&T Liabilities remain outstanding, Kellanova or the applicable member of its Group, as the Holding Person, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all payments required to be made to Third Parties in respect of such Transition Payables and Transition AP&T Liabilities, as and when due. On each Wednesday occurring after the Distribution Date until such time as no Transition Payables remain outstanding, Kellanova shall send WKKC an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts paid in respect of such Transition Payables and Transition AP&T Liabilities during the preceding week. WKKC shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such invoice, reimburse Kellanova for any such invoiced amount; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Kellanova fails to include any amounts paid in respect of any Transition Payables or Transition AP&T Liabilities in any such weekly invoice, Kellanova shall have the right to invoice WKKC at a later date and receive reimbursement from WKKC in respect thereof in accordance with this Section 2.4(f). Upon payment of any Transition Payable or Transition AP&T Liability by Kellanova or the applicable member of its Group, such Transition Payable or Transition AP&T Liability shall no longer be considered a Delayed Liability, and any further Liability in respect thereof (including any claim by the payee of such Transition Payable or Transition AP&T Liability or WKKC for an adjustment to the amount of such Transition Payable or Transition AP&T Liability or with respect to the quality of the goods or services received from such payee) shall be the sole responsibility of WKKC.

2.5 Novation of Liabilities.

(a) Novation of Liabilities. Each Party, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all Kellanova Liabilities or WKKC Liabilities, as applicable, and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of the other Party’s Group that is a party to any such arrangements, so that, in any such case, the members of the WKKC Group shall be solely responsible for such WKKC Liabilities and the members of the Kellanova Group shall be solely responsible for such Kellanova Liabilities; provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, neither Kellanova nor WKKC shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Third Party from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

(b) Unreleased Liabilities. Subject to Section 2.4(f), if the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and a member of either Group (the “Bound Member”) continues to be bound by any such arrangement or responsible for any such Liabilities with respect to which such Bound Member would not be bound or responsible had such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release been obtained (each, an “Unreleased Liability”), the Party to whose Group such Liability is allocated under this Agreement (the “Designated Party”) shall, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such Bound Member, as the case may be, (A) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Bound Member’s Group that constitute Unreleased Liabilities from and after the Effective Time and (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to the time any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any member of the Bound Member’s Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Bound Member shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and the Designated Party or the applicable member of its Group shall assume, such Unreleased Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

2.6 Release of Guarantees. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the obligations set forth in Section 2.5:

(a) On or prior to the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, each of Kellanova and WKKC shall, at the request of the other Party and with the reasonable cooperation of such other Party and the applicable member(s) of such other Party’s Group, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) have any member(s) of the Kellanova Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any WKKC Liability to the extent that such guarantee or obligation relates to WKKC Liabilities, including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Kellanova Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such WKKC Liability; and (ii) have any member(s) of the WKKC Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Kellanova Liability to the extent that such guarantee or obligation relates to Kellanova Liabilities, including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any WKKC Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such Kellanova Liability.

(b) To the extent required to obtain a release from a guarantee of:

(i) any member of the Kellanova Group, WKKC shall (or shall cause a member of the WKKC Group to) execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, which agreement shall include the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Kellanova Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any WKKC Liability, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which WKKC (or any member of the WKKC Group) would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which WKKC (or any member of the WKKC Group) would not reasonably be able to avoid breaching; and

2.9 Bank Accounts; Cash Balances.

(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, take all actions necessary such that, on or prior to the Effective Time, the Kellanova Group and the WKKC Group maintain separate bank accounts and separate cash management processes. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees to take, or cause the members of its Group to take, at the Effective Time (or such earlier time as the Parties may agree), all actions necessary to amend all Contracts governing each bank and brokerage account owned by WKKC or any other member of the WKKC Group (collectively, the “WKKC Accounts”) and all Contracts governing each bank or brokerage account owned by Kellanova or any other member of the Kellanova Group (collectively, the “Kellanova Accounts”) so that each such WKKC Account and Kellanova Account, if currently linked (whether by automatic withdrawal, automatic deposit or any other authorization to transfer funds from or to) to any Kellanova Account or WKKC Account, respectively, is de-linked from such Kellanova Account or WKKC Account, respectively.

(b) It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.9(a), there will be in place a cash management process pursuant to which the WKKC Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or more accounts maintained by WKKC or a member of the WKKC Group.

(e) As between Kellanova and WKKC (and the members of their respective Groups), all payments made, and reimbursements, credits, returns, or rebates received, after the Effective Time by either Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party (or member of its Group) entitled thereto and, promptly following receipt by such Party (or member of its Group) of any such payment or reimbursement, credit, return or rebate such Party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

(f) It is understood and agreed that, effective as of the Effective Time (and after giving effect to the Cash Transfer), WKKC and members of the WKKC Group shall have cash and cash equivalents in an aggregate amount equal to the WKKC Cash Amount. For purposes of determining the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by WKKC and members of the WKKC Group for purposes of the foregoing, cash and cash equivalents held in currency other than U.S. dollars will be translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate selected by Kellanova.

(g) [Within fifteen (15) days after the Distribution Date, Kellanova shall deliver to WKKC a good faith calculation of the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents (net of any overdrafts) held by the WKKC Group as of the Effective Time (the “Final Cash Balance”). Kellanova’s calculation of the Final Cash Balance shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable on WKKC for all purposes of this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to further adjustment as a result of payments required to be made by one Party to the other after the Effective Time under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Agreement. If the Final Cash Balance exceeds the WKKC Cash Amount, then WKKC shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such difference to Kellanova by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Kellanova to WKKC within five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Final Cash Balance by Kellanova. If the Final Cash Balance is less than the WKKC Cash Amount, then Kellanova shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of such difference to WKKC by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by WKKC to Kellanova within five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Final Cash Balance by Kellanova. Any such payment shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Cash Transfer that occurred immediately prior to the Distribution.]

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of WKKC. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a WKKC Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Kellanova shall direct the Distribution Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional WKKC Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at prevailing market prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Distribution Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokerage fees and commissions. None of Kellanova, WKKC or the Distribution Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional WKKC Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Neither Kellanova nor WKKC will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of Kellanova or WKKC. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of Kellanova Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

(d) Any WKKC Shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to WKKC Shares that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to WKKC, and WKKC or its transfer agent on its behalf shall hold such WKKC Shares and cash for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such WKKC Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of WKKC, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and Kellanova shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

WKKC agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends, if any, payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the WKKC Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the WKKC Shares then held by such holder.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) Any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed under this Agreement will be reduced by the Tax Benefits Actually Realized (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) by the Indemnitee and its Affiliates in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth or referred to in Section 2.5 of the Tax Matters Agreement, and shall be increased in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth or referred to in Section 2.5 of the Tax Matters Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the Effective Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Kellanova Group or the WKKC Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant

39

Confidential Treatment Requested by WK Kellogg Co

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within fourteen (14) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Such notice shall also clearly state that, if the Indemnifying Party desires to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Indemnifying Party must so elect within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide timely notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first acknowledge to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee are true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in any or all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim within such thirty (30) day period after receipt of (1) a written notice from such Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) and (2) a second written notice from such Indemnitee at least two (2) Business Days prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim if its assumption of the defense of such Third-Party Claim was induced by material mistruths by the Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that does not elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.7 and Section 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any outside legal counsel to the Indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one firm of separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable by the settling or compromising Party, does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party delivers to the other Party (i) a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder (which notice clearly states that the Party receiving such notice must respond to the notice within ten (10) Business Days or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order (the “Settlement Response Period”)) and (ii) a second written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the end of the Settlement Response Period, and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within the Settlement Response Period, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(f) Tax Matters Agreement Governs. The above provisions of this Section 4.5 and the provisions of Section 4.6 do not apply to Taxes (it being understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement). In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall prevail.

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party promptly following the Indemnitee becoming aware of such claim (which notice clearly states that the Indemnifying Party must respond to the notice within thirty (30) days (the “Indemnification Response Period”)) (provided that the failure of an Indemnitee to provide prompt notice in accordance with this Section 4.6(b) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide prompt notice in accordance with this Section 4.6(b)). If the Indemnitee provides a second written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the end of the Indemnification Response Period and such Indemnifying Party does not respond within the Indemnification Response Period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within the Indemnification Response Period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee 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 shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Substitution. In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall 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 named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all reasonable costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

4.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof), or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or Actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of WKKC (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Kellanova Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the WKKC Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of WKKC and the other members of the WKKC Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Kellanova or any other member of the Kellanova Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of Kellanova (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the WKKC Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the Kellanova Business prior to the Effective Time, shall be deemed to be the fault of Kellanova and the other members of the Kellanova Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of WKKC or any other member of the WKKC Group.

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

4.10 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Kellanova and WKKC and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or legally-protected personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies or notices or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies or notices, as well as applicable data privacy Laws or other applicable Laws.

In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

The Transition Committee shall have the authority to (a) establish one or more subcommittees from time to time as it deems appropriate or as may be described in any Ancillary Agreements, with each such subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Transition Committee or one or more employees of either Party or any member of its respective Group, and each such subcommittee having such scope of responsibility as may be determined by the Transition Committee from time to time; (b) delegate to any such subcommittee any of the powers of the Transition Committee; and (c) combine, modify the scope of responsibility of, and disband any such subcommittee; and (d) modify or reverse any such delegations.

(b) Subject to Section 7.5, either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are WKKC Assets or Kellanova Assets, any Liabilities are WKKC Liabilities or Kellanova Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to the Transition Committee (the “Initial Notice”). Following the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Transition Committee shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through the procedures it is empowered to adopt in accordance with Section 7.1(a). If the Transition Committee is unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall enter into good-faith negotiations in accordance with Section 7.2 and Section 7.3.

7.2 Good-Faith Officer Negotiation. If a Dispute is not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1, either Party may provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Officer Negotiation Request”). Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Officer Negotiation Request, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. All such negotiations shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of Vice President and who have authority to settle the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within ten (10) days of receipt of the Officer Negotiation Request, and such ten (10) day period is not extended by mutual written consent of the Parties, the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.3 CEO Negotiation. If any Dispute is not resolved pursuant to Section 7.2, either Party may provide written notice of such Dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of the other Party (a “CEO Negotiation Request”). As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request, the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties shall begin conducting good faith negotiations with respect to such Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within ten (10) days of receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request, and such ten (10) day period is not extended by mutual written consent of the Parties, the Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.4.

7.4 Arbitration.

(a) In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within ten (10) days of the receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request in accordance with Section 7.3, or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (the “Arbitration Request”), be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration. The JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures with Expedited Procedures (“JAMS Expedited Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the Parties. The arbitration shall be held in (i) Chicago, Illinois or (ii) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.4 will be decided by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be empowered to fully and finally determine the arbitrability of any claim (including whether a Dispute is within the scope of the Parties’ agreement to arbitrate).

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

(b) The panel of three (3) arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second (2nd) of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third (3rd), independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Expedited Rules. In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third (3rd), then the third (3rd) independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Expedited Rules. If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator during such fifteen (15)-day period, then upon written application by either Party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Expedited Rules.

(c) The arbitrators will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief that it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and attorneys’ fees and costs; provided that the arbitrators will not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties and, in any event, will not award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, enhanced, treble, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim). Upon selection of the arbitrators following any grant of preliminary relief by an emergency arbitrator pursuant to Section 7.5, the arbitrators may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the Parties will seek modification or rescission of the interim relief as necessary to accord with that decision. The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties, and may be entered or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation any state or federal court within the state of [•] (which the parties hereby agree have jurisdiction over them to enforce any such award). The initiation of an Officer Negotiation Request, CEO Negotiation Request, or arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings (not to exceed thirty (30) days, unless the Parties agree otherwise). Notwithstanding applicable state Law, the arbitration and this agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.

(d) The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents or evidence submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrators and JAMS, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by Law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Article VII (including any proceedings to enforce a final award), that Party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the arbitrators) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any Third Party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 7.1(b), Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such Party has submitted an Initial Notice, Officer Negotiation Request or a CEO Negotiation Request and the other Party has failed to comply with Section 7.1(b), Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 in good faith with respect to such negotiation

7.5 Emergency Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief in accordance with Section 10.2 with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.4 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage (such action, an “Emergency Petition”). Each Party hereto irrevocably agrees that any Emergency Petition sought hereunder shall be brought and determined exclusively in the [•] (the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Emergency Petition for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts and agrees that it will not bring any Emergency Petition in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Dispute with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (A) the Dispute in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Dispute is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party hereto hereby consents to the service of process in accordance with Section 10.5; provided that (I) nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law and (II) each such Party’s consent to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 7.5 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 7.5 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

7.6 Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the respective members of their Groups to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.
