AFI shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the AFI Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against AWI or any other member of the AWI Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a) , with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a) . AWI shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the AWI Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification against AFI or any other member of the AFI Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b) , with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b) .

4.2 Indemnification by AFI . Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, AFI shall, and shall cause the other members of the AFI Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless AWI, each member of the AWI Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case, in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “ AWI Indemnitees ”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the AWI Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any AFI Liability;

(b) any failure of AFI, any other member of the AFI Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any AFI Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Division Effective Time;

(c) any breach by AFI or any other member of the AFI Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(d) except to the extent it relates to an AWI Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the AFI Group by any member of the AWI Group that survives following the Distribution;

(e) the ownership or operation of the AFI Business from and after the Division Effective Time; and

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if AFI shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in subclause (f) of Section 4.3 .

4.3 Indemnification by AWI . Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, AWI shall, and shall cause the other members of the AWI Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless AFI, each member of the AFI Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “ AFI Indemnitees ”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the AFI Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any AWI Liability;

(b) any failure of AWI, any other member of the AWI Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any AWI Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Division Effective Time;

-36-

(c) any breach by AWI or any other member of the AWI Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(d) except to the extent it relates to an AFI Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the AWI Group by any member of the AFI Group that survives following the Distribution;

(e) the ownership or operation of the AWI Business from and after the Division Effective Time; and

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts .

(a) The Parties intend that the indemnification, contribution or reimbursement with respect to any Liability pursuant to this Article IV or Article V shall be net of Insurance Proceeds and other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof, including increased premiums) 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, contribution or reimbursement hereunder (an “ Indemnitee ”) shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds and other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof, including increased premiums) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. For avoidance of doubt and to illustrate the operation of this Section 4.4 , if AFI should be responsible to indemnify AWI for an insured Liability, and the claim for that Liability to an insurer results in a deductible or loss reimbursement and a retrospectively rated premium adjustment, AFI shall be responsible for the deductible or loss reimbursement and the retrospectively rated premium adjustment. If an Indemnitee receives an indemnification, contribution or reimbursement 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 the related Liability, then the Indemnitee shall 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, including increased premiums) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

-37-

(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, contribution and reimbursement provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of such Party’s 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, contribution or reimbursement 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, contribution or reimbursement, or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims .

(a) Notice of Claims . If, at or following the date of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) that is not a member of the AWI Group or the AFI Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “ Third-Party Claim ”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide 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 in some material respect 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 defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such Liabilities 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

-38-

obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in 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 or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a) , 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 incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification, contribution or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses 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. 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 fees and expenses 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 has failed to 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 Sections 6.7 and 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 Indemnitee shall in good faith determine 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 separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

-39-

(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, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any 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.

(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 (Taxes being 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, contribution or reimbursement 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, contribution or reimbursement 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, contribution or reimbursement payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnification, contribution and reimbursement 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, contribution or reimbursement 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; provided , that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced in some material respect thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day 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 such thirty (30)-day 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.

-40-

(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 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, 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 the Indemnifying Party’s 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 AFI Assets or Delayed AFI Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the AWI Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the

-41-

AFI Business prior to the Division Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of AFI and the other members of the AFI Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of AWI or any other member of the AWI Group; (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed AWI Assets or Delayed AWI Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the AFI Group) shall be deemed to be the fault of AWI and the other members of the AWI Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of AFI or any other member of the AFI Group; and (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the AWI Business prior to the Division Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of AWI and the other members of the AWI Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of AFI or any other member of the AFI Group.

4.8 Covenant Not to Sue . Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any AFI Liabilities by AFI or a member of the AFI Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any AWI Liabilities by AWI or a member of the AWI Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason, or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

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 AWI and AFI and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive until the five-year anniversary of the Division Effective Time, and no claim may be made for indemnification hereunder after the five-year anniversary of the Division Effective Time; provided , however , that if either Party in good faith delivers written notice to the other Party of an indemnification claim (stating in reasonable detail the nature of, and factual and legal basis for, any such claim for indemnification) on or before the three-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, then such claim shall survive until resolved or judicially determined. The rights and obligations of each of AWI and AFI and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of such Party’s 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 such Party’s Group.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters .

(a) AWI and AFI agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Distribution Effective Time. In no event shall AWI, any other member of the AWI Group or any AWI Indemnitee have any Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the AFI Group in the event that any insurance policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the AFI Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

(b) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the AFI Group, or arising out of facts, events or circumstances occurring, prior to the Distribution Effective Time, AWI will provide AFI with access to, and AFI may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to AWI, make claims under, AWI’s third-party insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time and AWI’s historical third-party policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for AFI Liabilities or Liabilities arising from or in connection with actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Distribution Effective Time, in each case relating to, arising out of or resulting from the AFI Business, the AFI Assets or the AFI Liabilities; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, loss reimbursements and other fees and expenses, and any retrospectively rated or other premium adjustments, resulting from such losses, damages or Liability. Any deductible, loss reimbursement, other fee or expense, or retrospectively rated or other premium adjustment, resulting from such losses, damages or Liability shall be AFI’s sole responsibility. AFI’s access shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) AFI shall report any claim to AWI, as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with AWI’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Distribution Effective Time communicated by AWI to AFI in writing);

(ii) AFI may, in its sole discretion, report such claim to the insurers on its and/or AFI’s behalf with a request that the insurers defend and indemnify it and/or AFI;

(iii) AFI and the members of the AFI Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse AWI and the members of the AWI Group for any fees and expenses incurred by AWI or any members of the AWI Group to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by AFI or any other members of the AFI Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) , including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claim or loss adjusting expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by AFI, its employees or third Persons; and

-43-

(iv) AFI shall exclusively bear (and neither AWI nor any members of the AWI Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse AFI or any member of the AFI Group for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by AFI or any member of the AFI Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b) .

In the event that any member of the AWI Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Division Effective Time for which such member of the AWI Group is entitled to coverage under AFI’s third-party insurance policies, the same process pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall apply, substituting “AWI” for “AFI” and “AFI” for “AWI.”

(c) Except as provided in Section 5.1(b) , from and after the Division Effective Time, neither AFI nor any member of the AFI Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of AWI or any other member of the AWI Group. At the Division Effective Time, AFI shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with AFI’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to AFI’s. Such insurance programs may include general liability, commercial auto liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, product liability, professional services liability, property, cargo, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability.

(d) Neither AFI nor any member of the AFI Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of AWI or any member of the AWI Group pursuant to this Section 5.1 , shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between AWI or any member of the AWI Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand, (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by AWI or any member of the AWI Group under the applicable insurance policy, or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of AWI or any member of the AWI Group under the applicable insurance policy.

(e) All payments and reimbursements by AFI pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within fifteen (15) days after AFI’s receipt of an invoice therefor from AWI. If AWI incurs costs to enforce AFI’s obligations herein, AFI agrees to indemnify and hold harmless AWI for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 4.6 . AWI shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right under the policies or applicable law to settle the policies to which losses or claim expenses are allocated, to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any AFI Liabilities and/or claims AFI has made or could make in the future, and no member of the AFI Group shall allocate losses or claims or loss adjusting expenses to, or erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with AWI’s insurers with respect to any of AWI’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. AFI shall cooperate with AWI and share such information as is reasonably necessary to permit AWI to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. AWI shall share such

-44-

information with AFI as is reasonable necessary to enable AFI so to cooperate with AWI. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither AWI nor any of the members of the AWI Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any liability policies of AWI or any member of the AWI Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the AFI Group incurred prior to the Division Effective Time.

(f) This Agreement shall not be considered as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the AWI Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(g) AFI does hereby, for itself and each other member of the AFI Group, agree that no member of the AWI Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of AWI and the members of the AWI Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.2 Continuation of Director and Officer Insurance . For a period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Distribution Date, AWI shall, and shall cause the AWI Group to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the persons who are presently covered by AWI’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies with respect to actions and omissions occurring prior to the Distribution Date, providing coverage not less favorable than provided by such insurance in effect on the date hereof.

5.3 Late Payments . Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime Rate plus one (1%) percent.

5.4 Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes . For all tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Division Effective Time) as either a contribution by AWI to AFI or a distribution by AFI to AWI, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Division Effective Time or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability, and (ii) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

5.5 Inducement . AFI acknowledges and agrees that AWI’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by AFI’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including AFI’s assumption of the AFI Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and AFI’s covenants and agreements contained in Article IV .

-45-

5.6 Post-Effective Time Conduct . The Parties acknowledge that, after the Distribution Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Distribution Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV ) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.

-46-

made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental in any material respect to the Party providing the information, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of a Party under Section 6.4 .

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the first AFI fiscal year end occurring after the Distribution Effective Time (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s information requests to enable (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws.

6.2 Ownership of Information . The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information . The Party requesting information shall not be required to pay or reimburse the other Party for the cost of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with a request with respect to such information (including those expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information); provided , however , that the Party requesting information shall be required to pay or reimburse the other Party for such costs in connection with any request resulting in a significant burden on the other Party, involving an unusually high volume of requested information, or otherwise arising outside the ordinary course of such requests.

6.4 Record Retention . To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Distribution Effective Time, the Parties agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for retention of such Party’s own information, to retain all information

-47-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax related records, and the Employee Matters Agreement will govern the retention of employment and benefits related records.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may destroy or dispose of any books, records or other tangible Information that the other Party has previously received copies of, without any obligation to notify the other Party thereof.

6.5 Limitations of Liability . Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Party providing such information.

The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall 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 such Party’s respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, 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 may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Distribution Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the AWI Group or the AFI Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) AWI shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the AWI Business and not to the AFI Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the AWI Group or any member of the AFI Group. AWI shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any AWI Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the AWI Group or any member of the AFI Group;

(ii) AFI shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the AFI Business and not to the AWI Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the AFI Group or any member of the AWI Group. AFI shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any AFI Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the AFI Group or any member of the AWI Group; and

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the AWI Business, solely to the AFI Business, or to both the AWI Business and the AFI Business.

-50-

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8 , the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the consent of the other Party.

(d) If any Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Group regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or any member of their respective Group, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith, (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e) In the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between AWI and AFI, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c) ; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of such Party’s respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of such Party’s respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the covenants and agreements of AWI and AFI set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any member of such Party’s Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction . Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10 . Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

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

6.10 Protective Arrangements . In the event that a Party or any member of such Party’s Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. 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.

10.6 Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those

as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

10.7 Force Majeure . No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence

-59-

of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition, and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

10.8 No Set-Off . Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Party nor any member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.9 Publicity . Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, each of AFI and AWI shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the Separation, the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or under any Ancillary Agreement and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

-60-

any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

10.15 Amendments . No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.
