Insurance Matters

The indemnification and insurance matters agreement will contain provisions governing the recovery by and payment to us of insurance proceeds related to our business and arising on or prior to the distribution date and our insurance coverage. We will agree to reimburse Sara Lee, to the extent they are required to pay, for amounts necessary to satisfy all applicable self-insured retentions, fronted policies, deductibles and retrospective premium adjustments and similar amounts not covered by insurance policies in connection with our liabilities.

The indemnification and insurance matters agreement also will provide that in the event there are insufficient limitations on liabilities available under Sara Lee’s insurance policies in effect prior to the distribution date to cover the liabilities of us or Sara Lee, then to the extent that other insurance coverage is not available adjustments will be made in the allocation of liabilities.
